Does MU Play Today?

[TedBaxter]

Interested to see how the team comes off the finals week and who gets in the game. This is the start of the critical month of basketball only that will determine of MU is NCAA tournament worthy.

Yes indeed - sorry for the delay, was catching uo with a few people including Jerry Hopfensperger before the game.

AS many already know, Duane Wilson is out sick.

Helloooooooo????

Impressive first half......great ball movement..knocked down shots....good energy....great to see

[TedBaxter]

I thought the defensive was solid and put more pressure on the ball. Had a couple late shotc lock overplays that let IUPUI score, but they were hustle overplays and can't fault that.

According to ESPN MU has 15 asts on 17 baskets.

Although it has been a tough start to the season, one bright spot has to be Juan Anderson. Goes to show that if kids stick around, they can contribute when they are upperclassmen. Hoping for the same progression from Taylor.

milkbone - you are correct, the last basket was unassisted, at the 2:52 mark they were 15 assists on 16 makes - that is unreal. Add to it 5-8 from 3 pt shooting? I don't even know this team!

[IrwinFletcher]

That charge call on Jamil is how guys get hurt in college. Clearly, the replay shows the defender leaning in to create contact. Lucky it was just a charge and not a serious injury to JW.

Fletch - You are right about Juan - his hustle and all around play has been great. At the last stat point he was 4-5 from the field and 3-4 from 3pt for 14 pts to go along with 6 rebounds and 3 assists. His hustle for the loose balls has been great.
