What a flop bry Stainbrook...!

Really good defense... Fisher and Stainbrook with two fouls... Looks like JJJ is the new guy in the dog house, hasn't seen the floor today, much like Cohen and Taylor disappeared earlier in the year.

Small team with Luke and Juan on bench. Steve not jumping at all. Need to get this half over.

unreal defense and good enough O. Good spacing with Luke in the post....he just needs to stop turning it over.

Good decision making from Derrick, Duane and for the most part Matt.

Cohen has obviously moved ahead of JJ...at least for this week.

MU badly Outrebounded with Luke and Juan on the bench. Steve really has limited verticality..!

I've been hard on Derrick over time, but really have to admire his play. Particularly recently in BE games.

Seniors are having a difficult time this half.

Anyone have a bad feeling about this game? I feel like Ive seen this movie before.

Anyone know how to
Make an entry pass to the post??? Good god

Derrick has two TOs and just gave up 2 easy corner 3s. Tough 10 minutes for him.

Don't care how many points Carlino has, he's cost us more.

Yeah, and nobody else is having any problems out there.

Energy level just not where it was in 1st half. Effect of fouls and short rotation.

Already said all the seniors are having issues. Don't be so darn protective. Derrick had an outstanding 1st half...2nd half, not so. Just what it is.

You're right, esp the lack of energy closing out on the 3 point shots. Is this another case of foolish pride with Wojo not playing JJ????

where's JuJuan ?

No. Everybody sucks in the 2nd half, yet you single out Derrick. Carlino has made awful plays, Cohen with bad decisions, Steve Taylor MIA again.

??? Already twice said the seniors are having trouble and the energy level is low. DW just had 4 so obvious bad plays... Don't be so protective. Obviously the play of the seniors is rubbing off on the others. Steve is just having a rough rough time as he looks like he is chained to the floor.

we aren't getting any stops, then on offense we are rushing things... We look totally disoriented... This team is like bi polar, we go from looking real good, to all of a sudden completely lost.

10 turnovers in 2nd half..

Ugh!!!!!

wow...Luke......

Damn that was close

Good enough to compete on the road but the 2nd half collapses continue.....turnovers and lack of help for Carlino

They weren't going to let Carlino tie it.....

Coulda..shoulda....a tough loss. This team seems to run out of gas in the 2nd half on the road....fouls..short rotation...too much energy on D in 1st half. Still, it is the road. We move on. Wonder what the deal is with. JJJ?

Man, I hate watching the 2nd half of MU games, just brutal, seems like every game is just a bad replay.... Tough to watch this season

Tough back to back games for Juan. Need more than 4 points from him. Luke had a rough day and that miss at the end was a play he normally makes. Duane missed some wide open looks. He needs to start knocking those down. This team is fun to watch and frustrating to watch, all in the same half.

I have no inside information, but it sure seemed like the staff was frustrated with his "body language" against Creighton. I hope I am wrong and it is an injury or illness and not attitude.

Needed to have an alternative there...Duane....Sandy...

Coach's decision per Matt V. on JJJ.

Agreed. Run the offense and see who of those guys can get open.

Wojo let JJ have it in the post game...said based on how he practiced he didn't earn the right to play

I have a feeling that JJJ may not be with us next year.

Wojo also said we should have won that game and he was disappointed. He is not into moral victories. JJ obviously did something more than having a bad practice or two.

Was told early in the year that Duane was the only one that had "bought in" out of last year's recruits. Didn't want to post it then and start speculation. But, now that two are gone, and the other was benched, it's fair to say you might be right.
