MU/DePaul Game Thread

[nyg]

The shots are there. The offense is creating shots.  We just can't hit a dang shot.  Wow.

Of course, but they are getting killed on boards, defense is giving up dunks and layups, have 10 turnovers and they left 8 points at free throw line.

14 points, is that a record?  Maybe someone could look up

[mugrad_89]

That was flat out embarrassing.

[BCHoopster]

Totally embarrassing, well in two weeks the team for next year can change very quickly. I see opportunity at every position except point.

Okay.....I was looking for the "bottom"....

Losing to DePaul by 20 at home pretty much should do it....

LOL!

I want to hear Shaka's spin after this fiasco.....

[Daniel]

Shaka is lost here.  You have a team that can't defend more than 10 minutes, can't shoot, turns the ball over, and can't hit free throws.      The second half might be surprise turn-around.    But.... This year..... tough.

When was the last time DePaul swept us in league play?

[Norm]

Not much to say. Just a dreadful, embarrassing display of MU basketball.

[Jables1604]

Time to bring Wardle home?

[Zog from Margo]

This should clarify for Shaka that he's not just a player or two away. Good Lord! Beyond James, Stevens, and Parham, I see nothing. And those three have all been awful today.

These string beans that Shaka recruits are totally overmatched physically in the BE.

[Boone]

This is worst bubble team I've ever seen

[GoldenWarrior11]

Everything this year is one step forward and one fall down a flight of stairs.

"DePaul played well on both ends.  We have to get better executing our plays and hitting more shots.  Our guys never quit.  Have to be proud of that."

The entire team was a disgrace there but really nothing is more befuddling and infuriating than Chase Ross being such a worthless, gutless offensive player in a situation the team absolutely needs an upperclassman to just go and get a fking bucket. He's just such a coward. Every single time he touches the ball he slows everything to a halt with a couple tepid sideways dribbles and then defers by passing it further away from the hoop. It's unreal that, amongst the enormous growth of players like Tyler and Stevie and Kam and OMax, Chase somehow has failed to learn even a single meaningful dribble move or develop enough confidence to take a single defender one-on-one.

I remain firm in my belief that, rivaled only by Caedin starting 15 games, Shaka's most obscene failure this year was believing Chase fking Ross could be the best scorer on a serious basketball team.

Worst team in 59 years of being a fan!  Doing nothing right. Shaka needs to get his s—t together!

When was the last time DePaul swept us in league play?

Never. The last time we lost to them twice in one season was 1990-91. We were in the MCC and they were still independent.

I think we scored 6 points in 14 mins of clock time.  Is that possible?

[CountryRoads]

That has to be one of the worst first halves in recent memory. Anyone have a worse one?

1990-91

We were not in the same conference then.

[PointWarrior]

Top 45ish?

Point shaving?

[BM1090]

Honestly the defense was great for about 15 mins. One of the worst offensive displays I can remember though

[nyg]

One player outscored the entire MU team.  Is that possible?

[Daniel]

Good news is our seniors have scored 42% of our points. 

[KolekThrees]

Second half team, not worried.

[JTJ3]

One player outscored the entire MU team.  Is that possible?

Ironic today, because Markus did that multiple times haha
