"they need one more"

ONE.... TRY FOUR OR FIVE

Brian Anderson I believe said with Sean an "electric backcourt" ?  He needs to do better. 

[Daniel]

The tean plays hard.  The talent is lacking.  But they try hard. 

[MuggsyB]

That Chase miss is a microcosm of our season. 

[GoldenEagles03]

Ross 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[rccola42]

Giving the ball to Ross is quite a decision. Can thank him for his years of service while also noting that he's terrible.

[mileskishnish72]

Nice try, guys. You can fault the execution but you can't fault the effort.

[warriors141]

Why would you have Ross as the guy with the ball he has not made a clutch play all season so unnatural carnal knowledgeing dumb

[Daniel]

Ugh.  9-18.  Ugh

I'm astounded that was Shaka's decision after a t-o, down 4, 21 secs. 

[PointWarrior]

Has Ross made a basket with under a minute to go in any game this season? 

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Too many desperate shots under the rim

[Biggie Clausen]

I'd be surprised if St. John's made it to the second weekend.  They aren't very impressive.

[MuggsyB]

Has Ross made a basket with under a minute to go in any game this season? 

By my count, no.  Unless it was a FT. 

[MuggsyB]

Agreed.

Was thinking parham would have been the guy.  But..... ugh

[MuggsyB]

We need to run a lot more 2 man game with Nigel and RP. 

[Zog from Margo]

Too much chaos on offense and lack of discipline on defense. Questionable coaching.

Too little mental and physical toughness on this roster.

Good effort just too little intelligent effort.

[GoldenEagles03]

Ya, he dunked on his birthday up like 47 on Butler with 12 seconds left.

[Billy Hoyle]

Road teams 4-0 in Big East play tonight. And we still have zero road wins

[rccola42]

Good effort just too little intelligent effort.

Think it's more of a talent issue than toughness. They hung in there pretty well with a very physical team. Didn't get destroyed on the boards. They just have older, experienced players who are stars. Our older, experienced players wouldn't be on the court if we had better options.

[jfp61]

I love how much crap dumb people keep giving ross. Not realizing that he gets to keep making mistakes in these games because this entire team is still somehow worse than him.

[MuggsyB]

I'm not saying we would have won, but the key stretch was after Nigel's ridiculous up & under. Shot selection and valuing possessions are vital in tight games.

That's not exactly true.

Difference in physical strength isn't just talent or age. MU has too many slight players and SJU took control with strength when it mattered. MU needs some BE bodies.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Once again, frustrating loss but nothing worth getting upset over.

Foul trouble for Royce was a killer in the 2nd half.

Get the 6 point lead and TO, TO, blocked shot, horrible shot attempt.

Chase is 6/23 from the field the last 3 games.
