++++++Official Mizzou vs Boogs Game Thread+++++++

The moment I may have thrown in the towel on this squad

Up 17-12 with the ball, inbounds play from Malik where they don't even cover Mac. Mac stands in the worse possible place giving Malik no angle at all. Malik doesn't do anything to make him move or move the defender. Tried to lob it over. Turnover.

We've missed 5 straight shots and now trail 18-17.

We're dumb and if we don't recover from our dumbness tonight this season is a wash and we're headed to the NIT. Hope they prove me wrong in the next couple of hours

So much reaching and not just staying in front of people on d. Mizzou isn’t even remotely athletic.
 
Mustapha was a bad fit for our offense but not having a guy that could take it to the basket and finish kills us.

we have 2 choices...

when we run offense, with great ball movement, and late’ish in the clock we have Horace wide ass open for 3... he either has to take it and take it confidently

or we have to have him hold the ball and wait for Jared to come get it and create a legitimate miracle out of nothing against a set defense with no time on the clock - if Jared is even on the court with him

I mean, I guess he could just hold it for a shot clock violation so we can at least set our defense... or we could tell him to stay on the other side of the court to play “all time defense”... or recruit a better player for that spot

personally, I’ll just live with Horace taking that shot because it’s the best of a pile of bad options... note - I didn’t say Horace taking 3’s, I said Horace taking “that shot” - because it was the best shot we were going to get on that particular possession

We showed signs of this happening about a month ago.

We don’t run offensive sets. It’s awful! It reminds me of Gus Malzahn’s stupidity. We run 3 ****ing offensive plays/sets or whatever you call it. Make 4 passes without movement, then back it out and run a pick against a zone. That’s shit coaching, but I love
Bruce.

it's lazy and stupid

I can't square how a team will refuse to quit and will come back from insurmountable leads to get into it but also can't focus or play smart and hard for long stretches of every single game. Baffling

I wasn’t watching when it happened, that’s why I asked.

With that said, nice for Horace to end up with the ball so late in the shot clock with it running out.
 
I have sling tv. When it goes to SEC Network plus or whatever, how do I watch it?

we have 1, but Chuma doesn’t realize it

we had another, but he’s at Baylor now... and we miss him more than Stapha and Desean combined

Chuma is so talented. I wish he realized it and hopefully the light comes on in the 2nd half of conference play. If he can play at a little bit of a higher level I think we’ll be ok.

Pox on you for mentioning the player that shall not be mentioned, lest we all cry real human man tears.
 
Did Danjel get in earlier in the game? I started watching with 12 min left in the half.
 
Sigh. I’m not saying we are a bad team but I think we need to lower our expectations of how far we can go. We are just not a good defensive team. We don’t score enough in the first half like we did last year. We don’t have anyone that can drive or willing to. It will get better when Austin is back but I’m conceding we are not as good as we can be and there’s has been more enough time for it to become a thing. We will need to improve a whole lot but not sure we will.

JGT has caught an ungodly amount of hell all season and rightfully so. Dude is so trash. VCU definitely told him to take a fvcking hike.

Not hard to imagine him scoring against our D.

I thought Samir would be a better facilitator and be a more consistent scorer. Really thought he would drive and find open guys whereas Heron would drive with one purpose in mind.

This first half is killing my hope that we'll get it clicking and be something we haven't really been this season. Wiley coming back and us somehow making that work seems like such a longshot right now. It just seems like we don't have "it"

And while I don't get mad at us shooting too many 3's, this is freaking ridiculous tonight
 
Clam is dead and shots not falling. Ima try my best not to melt till mid 2nd half if we haven’t built a decent lead.

If we don’t hit 3s we suck. It’s our whole offense and that’s not good

I get it... is it a high percentage shot? no... but idk what else we can reasonably expect... it’s not a “bad” shot in the sense that it was a result of laziness or lack of effort or standing around on offense... we reversed the ball, set multiple screens off ball, had the defense scrambling, but they rotated really well and forced us to make 3-4 extra passes... by the time the ball swung to Horace at the top of the key no one was within 10 feet of him

it is what it is right now... like BRUCE just told Mac - next time you’re open don’t hesitate... at this point, any possession that ends with an open shot is a good possession for us... I don’t care if it’s Wun Wun shooting 25 footers... if it’s open - it’s better than a turnover or a contested force

That’s what I have been complaint about. You gotta value the possession. 2 on 3 just pull it back and attempt to run an offensive set, especially if you are struggling from 3
 
I been on this BRUCE train since this all started, because I could feel greater things coming by the year, but most of all because it’s been FUN. I ain’t jumping, but not having the FUN so much right now.
