I like Burton starting

Going without a point guard now?

Todd ran a bit of point in the last game, maybe trying that early? Not a recipe for success if the first possession is any indication.
I love Burton. Still needs that whole value of possession understanding, but man what a talent. -
03-13-2014, 08:43 PMAlexJessweinWe had one?Quote:

I guess Dawson figured he could shoot 5 seconds into the game as Dwill picked up his second foul

Nicely done, Davante. Shoved to the ground, coming up he thought about going after him, but thought better of it and turned away. Very mature play by Ox.
-
03-13-2014, 09:03 PMMUMacWasn't a smart play. Too far out, too quick in the play. You can get that shot any time. I thought he was fouled on the follow through, at least that was a foul during the season. Still, not a good play.Quote:

Mayo is really becoming a bad player to have with the ball on the break.

MU's 7th turnover - Mayo needs to wake up!
-
03-13-2014, 09:11 PMCaribouJimIf he only had a good handle he would be so deadly.Quote:

Hopefully "Good" Mayo shows up in the second half.
-
03-13-2014, 09:11 PMMUMacHopefully it bodes well for his 2nd half. He has played really poorly this half. Hurting the team. It seems like when he does that, he has a great 2nd half. Let's hope so, at least.Quote:

Will Davante ever draw another foul when going to the hoop?
-

Watching Mayo and Dawson at the point demonstrates Derrick's value. He has flaws, but these turnovers are killing us.
-

I really wish Jamil could hit the 3 when MU rotates the ball. He lingers out at the 3 line, but misses the wide open 3 too many times. If he could have been consistent with those, it could be a difference in the season.
-
03-13-2014, 09:23 PMHalo
It's amazing how Jamil Wilson has turned into "just a guy". Basically Juan Anderson out there. I wonder what happened.
-
03-13-2014, 09:24 PMHalo
And we let the last 3.5 seconds go off.
-
03-13-2014, 09:24 PMMUMac
MU puts in the defensive team on the last series and let him drive all the way to the hoop. Xavier stole that half. MU played well until the last 3 minutes, then they puked on the floor.
-
03-13-2014, 09:24 PMAlan Bykowski, "brewcity77"
I hate how the clock runs at the end of the first half. Xavier guys kicking it around for 3 seconds so MU can't get a desperation shot off. That always annoys me.
-
03-13-2014, 09:25 PMMUMacThere wasn't an MU guy trying to get the ball. It did not matter if the X player kicked it or not. Where is the inbounder?Quote:

The defensive gameplan to pack the lane worked well till Xaiver knocked down a few. Then we stretched out and got beat off the dribble. Have to stick with what was working.
And agree on Jamil. Really is a head scratcher. -
03-13-2014, 09:28 PMMarkedman
Can't win if all your points are coming from 2 guys......bad Mayo showed up and Jamil again disappeared...Jake with 1 hoop.....
Again we give up so many open looks from 3 because we can't guard the dribble or guys take chances........ -
03-13-2014, 09:33 PMGOMU1104He's not a "number one option"-type player. He's best as a 2nd/3rd.Quote:

Otule having a tough game.

03-13-2014, 09:44 PMHaloHe's at best 4 or 5 the second half of the season.Quote:

Jamil showing life

Crowd sounds heavily pro-Xavier. Guessing the debutants are out in force.
-
03-13-2014, 10:12 PMRJax55
Where's Burton? We need him out there.
-
03-13-2014, 10:13 PMMU_Iceman
No idea how MU is losing this game to be honest. Out shooting them, out rebounding them...4 more TO's is the story I guess.
