This Berry kid has 16 points all year, and 5 in last three possessions.
Interesting that during a TV timeout, Mike Broeker comes to the court and Refs come running. This guy gets respect from everyone, should be a serious candidate for next AD, I hope MU sees it that way.
Butler playing strong post defense despite being undersized. MU needs to pass quickly out of double team.
Solid half for Jamil Wilson. Need some others to step up.
Lethargic defense in early second half. Lots of standing around. No sense of urgency.
Mark - Was just talking about this with guys around me. In the beginning of the game they are man to man with Gardner & Otule dominating their man, but MU does not pound it inside. Then they switch to a low post trap and MU tries to pound it in and can't. Great scouting by Butler, but MU has had zero spacing on offense, at times packing three guys into the lane. Well, when you pack three in your opponent does too. Fine if you can shoot from the outside, but MU is limited there.
Jamil Wilson can't sneeze without picking up a foul.
And Jamil takes himself out of the game with his fourth foul.
Yes, this is bad, but students booing? Classless students, completely classless.
