That was a bad loss.

At leadt Alex gave us 75 seconds of entertaining basketball - where it *felt* like a MU team, even if wver so fleeting.

He's in the portal next year unless his role goes way up soon.

The whole team will be in the portal next year if they don't make the tournament.

No chance Shaka is back if they miss again.

That being said...

I still think they'll find a way in. What is there, like 80 teams that make it now?

[BM1090]

Don't gloss over what our 2nd best player has done vs Mich & Mizzou.

Stevens is our 2nd best player

[BM1090]

Of the three, I still like Stevens, would like to see him be a little more aggressive.

Nigel will continue to struggle as teams sag on him and have their bigs pull off their assignment to help on him defensively.

Parham...good riddance

Parham will be good in a month or so. He did this crap last year too.

Unfortunately, we need it sooner.

This team is way better than last year. But so far it's worse than I thought it'd be by a decent margin

To me the biggest play was with maybe 6(?) minutes left. We went up 11. They got an and one and it went to media timeout. They miss the free throw, Egbuonu stares at the rebound bouncing to the corner, they get a reload three. Next possession they hit a three and it's a one possession game.

Obviously there were a lot of issues in the final ten, but any effort to track that down and I think we win somewhat comfortably.

And without Alex in the game earlier, this becomes a moot point. So...technically true, but lay off Alex for that mistake. He deserves much better than that.

Alex was a huge spark and without him we never build a lead. Overall he was a net positive, for sure. But that was a costly mistake
