Did Phillips see the Floor in the 2nd half???

[nyg]

Well thank God I never have to see the kiwi ever play again.

Tower and past poster Goose won't have to worry about getting a seat in the Greenroom for the draft.  I know he was nicked injury wise, but in his last 22 games:

Threes:  21 for 91 23%. Less than one made three a game.

That really hurt the team offensively in Shaka's scheme.  Just a huge regression for a player who really had only one basketball skill, shooting.  Didn't work out and wish him the best.

12-20 tells it all

I agree with everything but the regression. He never progressed ever. 4 years of the same terrible player.

For a few mins.

That shows that you don't know anything about basketball.

His shooting may not have improved, but he improved dramatically with his defense and rebounding, considering that he was never meant to be an inside player.

Tough game and tough season. But the boys at least made the last 6 weeks a heck of a lot more entertaining than we all expected in December or early Jan. I for a moment was actually emotionally invested in a game for the first time since early this season.

Would have loved to take another swing at UCONN, but it is what it is. Future looks a lot brighter than it did not long ago.

Thanks to Chase for everything. A true Warrior. Wish the last season was better for man! All the best wishes!

Enjoy the per 40 and advanced stats even more then the normal stats.

Give Ben a break man. College career just ended. Gave 4 years to MU. Always played hard. Did a great job tipping balls out off the boards tonight. Shooting sucked this year, but let's show some appreciation for the dude on his way out the door.

Ben was tough af. Great Warrior.

[drbob]

It is up to Shaka now to correct some of the roster deficiencies. I hope this is more than lip service. Jones,Hamilton and Norman should not be wearing a MU jersey next season. There is no reason we can not find more suitable replacements

I can't say I was looking forward to the possibility of playing UConn again. When a team pulls a huge upset over a clearly superior opponent, the probability of coming back in a couple of days and beating them again is lower than the probability of beating them the first time.

I'll bet right now they won't be 3 for 21 on three-point shots tomorrow.

Or we could be honest. Ben gold was a bad player on a 12-20 team. I am very very glad he will never touch the ball for Marquette again.

You suck, dude.

[MuggsyB]

I'm a little puzzled why we looked surprised by their zone. 

[GoldenEagles03]

He's 1/9 from 3.

I'm talking about in general.

Everyone has bad nights. But Adrien is a good shooter. He's the only one on the season when he shot it, it felt like it had a good shot to go in.

[#UnleashThePortal]

You suck, dude.

Oh darn? Was I too mean to Ben Gold? Maybe if the coaching staff wasn't so far up it's own butt with RGV they could have seen what we all already knew. Ben was not the 5 we needed.

I mean.... just unnatural carnal knowledge Nigel james?

Ehhh, he was a relatively low usage guy who got looks because of his status on the team. Physically ahead of other frosh. We'll see what next year holds. This team needs some alphas where medium-high to high usage makes sense. We'll see if this staff (1) figures that out and (2) deploys accordingly.

Love BG. He's a natural 4 who was forced to play out of position due to roster decisions by the staff. Not his fault.

That wasn't my point.

My point is that we need another guy that can shoot because right now Adrien is the only one that's a shooter. I mentioned nothing of usage. He's just a good shooter.

Marquette was puzzled by the zone all year.

..

Ya....we need to fix that.

once again, Nigel is a better shooter lol.
