Unbelievably bad defense

[rccola42]

Honestly just bench Ross. It's unfortunate but he's awful.

[Markusquette]

Gold has one of the flattest shots I've seen in ages

[BM1090]

No sugar coating this one.

He's been absolutely brutal.  Are you suggesting he should be shown the door?

[BCHoopster]

This game proves they need a roster correction

[jfp61]

The "bench ross" crowd... don't realize that everyone else on this team is somehow worse than him

[1SE]

No no guys, we're a top 50 team now. It's just a fact.

[willie warrior]

We are a low major. The gap between most of MU conference opponents is indeed widening. Thank you Shaka Kahn.

[PointWarrior]

Trying to make it to half but unnatural carnal knowledge this crap effort, unnatural carnal knowledge hot shooting from a crapty Xavier team, unnatural carnal knowledge the "top 50 team in the last month posters".

0.0 tenacity or resistance.  We look like we're on skates or trying to catch a cheetah.

This is exactly the kind of game we could use Chase as a sort of consistent bucket-getter to stem Xavier runs, and generally weather the out-of-control storm our young guys are creating on offense as a veteran guard. Instead he is not capable of doing either. It really is astonishing how little he has developed, and the #1 most glaring problem with Shaka's approach coming into the year was thinking HE could be the best player on a serious team. He's barely even starter caliber at this point.

Nothing like a crap team lighting it up from 3 against Marquette.

It happens frequently enough to make one wonder if it has anything to do with our D.

They need a crap ton more than that

Yes, but more playing experience could help them in the future?

[MuggsyB]

Get this to -10 or better. 

[MarquetteMike1977]

Have Coached 80 teams and 1000 games mostly at the grade school or junior high level. Mostly private school.  if an awesome player from the public schools wanted to transfer and play with us. Maybe it was wrong but always said yes at the expense of our current players playing time. That was grade school not even college lol

[MuggsyB]

No explanation for Hamilton being on the floor. None. 

[rccola42]

Yeah but the other guys aren't seniors who are supposed to have developed use of a 2nd hand.

[basedcringeMU]

Chase way late for the help defense contest at the rim for no reason

[jfp61]

this team doesn't have starter caliber players.

[rccola42]

Showing him the door would obviously be a bad culture move. I'm more suggesting that he goes down to around 20 min/night to give Phillips and others more time on the court.

[WhiteTrash]

Transfers with skill like Hamilton. Surely. Studs? Jury is out on that.

Ok. I get it. That would be the end of Shaka. He'd better off sticking to RGV, but anything is possible.

Fair point.  He's still driving me up the freaking wall.

Fk.
