James shot with 41 Seconds left. Xavier inbounded with under 30 seconds left!!!!
How is that legal!!!!!

[Warriors, Come Out and Playeeyay]

Start the walk-ons in the second half

[WellsstreetWanderer]

I'm watching what looks like the Harlem Globetrotters vs the Washington Generals

It's hard to make an argument that this group is any better than what we saw in December.

You are what your record says you are.

MU 4 for 14 from three. Ross/Gold 0 for 7.

X 11 for 22 from three.

X had 51, yes 51 points. 

Maybe some MU history poster can answer.  When was last year MU did not win an away game in a season?

[Daniel]

We gave up 51 points in a half.    When was the last MU team this bad at defense?  Especially with all our athletic players this year. 

Wow.    I can see we are not good shooters.    But defense.... Come on.

No, theyre top 50 now!

[BCHoopster]

Curious, does Hamilton know where the basket is? Can not keep playing 4 on 5!

[PointWarrior]

Top 50!

[basedcringeMU]

I don't think we are a top 50 team. I also don't think we are the same team as we were in December. I think the truth is somewhere in the mdidle.

[BM1090]

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

Not what I said at all, but you know that.

And this game so far is definitely a step back.

[TheBlackJerryWest]

Also, offense remains an absolute disaster. Stop all that dribbling. Pass the damn ball. Get better shots. Make their defense work. Basic, CYO stuff.

Statistically, four of Wojo's teams were worse. If you want to ignore those years then it's back to 05

Yes. And today is a new data point and we won't be anymore, barring a massive comeback. Sometimes I swear y'all try really hard to be dumb.

You seem quite confused

[21Jumpstreet]

Zero reason we aren't contesting shots, well, except for that whole effort thing. Let's see if we can reverse the trend and go on a 10-0 run to start the half!

[MuggsyB]

If teams don't turn it over vs us, we literally can't defend at all. 

[MuggsyB]

Feed Royce as much as possible. 

[WhiteTrash]

Yes. And today is a new data point and we won't be anymore, barring a massive comeback. Sometimes I swear y'all try really hard to be dumb.

MU is the worst team in the BE and about 125 to 150 in the country. Sounds like Shaka and MU have accepted who we are, time for everyone else to also. Changes are coming. 

[MuggsyB]

Can't allow that offensive reb. 

[MuggsyB]

Carroll with two tough shots. 

[1SE]

Yes. And today is a new data point and we won't be anymore, barring a massive comeback. Sometimes I swear y'all try really hard to be dumb.

At least we'll always have 1/13-2/13. 44th. Hang a banner!
