MU/UCONN Game Thread

[Elonsmusk]

You're probably right.

Just wanted to give him a shoutout for his contribution today. He's certainly played worse. Obviously this season has been a huge disappointment, but Chase's back to back threes, Ben's putback dunk and stout defense at the end, plus Caedin playing several solid minutes...it all contributed to upsetting a top 5 team. Not the biggest reasons, but it was nice to see.

That being said, three more years of Nigel and Adrien is gonna be a problem for the Big East. Nigel deservedly gets the headlines, but man, Adrien is a beast.

Nice post. I'd be shocked if Nigel is at MU 3 more years. 2 more at most. If DO can take a big step this off season, and Alex Egbuono can step in and be an immediate contributor for the next two years...and we can land a physical big in the portal - team should be well positioned for two exciting seasons ahead.

So, in the last week MU has helped get Kim English fired, possibly wrecked UConn's hopes for a 1 seed and broken Dan Hurley's brain to the point he may get a suspension?

I believe Nicholson is expressing his displeasure there about f..ing rats. Is this also a reference to Hurley?

I don't know. He's probably 5'11 so I'm not sure if he'll be seen as much of an NBA prospect.

But he is an old freshman, and maybe he doesn't want to be a 24 old senior.

Anger management, no?

The last time we won 2 straight was our first 2 games.

Diminutive citizen bias continues to plague our society.

Don't forget Stevens and what he did to close the 1H.  Those were tenuous moments.   It very easily could have gotten ugly and away from us, but the young man delivered in a massive way.

This was the biggest stretch of the game to me.  When Nigel went out with 3 minutes to go in the first, I was hoping we just kept the deficit to single digits going into the half.

Then Stevens decided to took over and completely swung those 3 minutes.

We haven't seen it much, but we're at our best when we get solid contributions offensively from all 5 starters.  We saw today that this is possible.  It also changes the geometry of the floor when Chase & Ben make a few buckets.

I'm between 5'7 and 5'8, you'll get no bias from me. Just realism

So this is your best take on today's game?

But can you hoop?
