Rough night for the "but the injuries!" crowd.

Nunn gets STUFFED??? AYFKM????

That play s/h/b a bucket; misplayed by Hill not drawing the defender. Frankly, Hill is playing terrible.

 

[helppitch]

Mav looking like last year Mav

Mav may be the absolutely worse defensive player in the Big. The thing is it probably isn't due to lack of effort, he is just is so slow.

Understatement, somehow...

Finke retired that award.

*turns on the game at halftime. Sees we are getting handled by minny..goes back to regularly scheduled programming.

My how far we've fallen...

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

Well, on the bright side, just saw that Damonte just committed. Maybe a good thing he had to run home after his visit.

hah heard that earlier today ...wondered how long it would take to get public. Bravo! Good Get

Damonte news is HUGE!!!! Wonder if he stays on if Groce gets the door. Maybe he has some inside information that Groce's job is safe...

 

[illynifan34]

Not sure the commitment matters. Odds of Groce being around when Williams is on campus seem really slim right now.

 

[RickBB]

do you think they have practiced a press? Not sure they would have thought of that with no knowledge of the suspensions.

I'm not sure what we've practiced. Whatever we spend practice time doing, it isn't helping...so even if we haven't practiced it, can it be any worse than what we have practiced.

We have no purpose to any of our movement. The possession with about 1:30 to go in the first half, Tate does a hand off exchange with Hill, who then throws it to Nunn on the right wing, who then just throws it back to Tate. It was like, how do we waste 6 seconds of the possession just for the hell of it?

 

[PerennIaLL]

For real! We're playing like we only have 4 wins in conference play or something.

We are at home against a 2-13 team that suspended three guards before this game. You're seriously going to defend what you are seeing? Still a lot of game to go, but we have not looked real good.

Great get, especially if it brings some of his St. Louis buds along for the ride.

 

[TheBucket]

Coleman-Lands is 5-6 from deep tonight. That's Steph Curry type stuff!

 

[freebird6]

JCL is looking really confident and fluid with his motion

 

[TCTORNADO]

Good defense JCL

 

[freebird6]

Williams showing what he can do. Love his effort of late.

 

[Ulysses Everett McGill]

Hill showing up so far this half.
