MU/Clones Game Thread

[Uncle Rico]

to game threads? kind of. Had to watch this one on the laptop so I had multiple tabs. Won't be doing that again

Lack of newsdream tonight was a major loss

[Johnny B]

Feel better seeing potentially 3 other top 5 teams lose yesterday and today

Iowa State is very very good.  Fast, big, and moves the ball so well.  We hung in there.  Had we taken the lead things might have been different.  Had the chance.  Guys never quit.  So proud of the fight.  Freshmen were good scoring.    Some freshmen mistakes but they played a lot

Chase in a boot.

I agree with this analysis.

[ATL MU Warrior]

Yeah we were. They doubled. He passed.

Again pay attention please.

Got it. I'll pay better attention.

Score tied 61-61 Royce has a rare miss on a shot and Stevie gets called for a foul on a clean steal. Would have like to see what would have happened without the foul call.

[Afroman]

Huh? Gold has played well and has got us tons of extra possessions.

We definitely watched different games.

Actually looked an offensive foul with the hook.

[MuggsyB]

Iowa St.  didn't turn the ball over until late when the game was essentially sealed.  They're really good and we couldn't press them.  Things just didn't go our way after that absurd foul call on Stevie.  In the end they were physically stronger and got easier shots.

F you Joplin clown

Nice

[Newsdreams]

Jop putting the ball on the floor is a disaster.  Why does he keep doing it??

Coaches want him too?

[Newsdreams]

They. Are. Doubling. Him. As. Soon. As. He. Puts. The. Ball. Down.

Tripling him most of the time, neededto get rid of ball quicker instead of dribbling so much. Doesn't have true PG instincts and ISU took advantage. I guess Shaka wanted him to be aggressive but it hurt offense at the beginning.

Civil war here, MU son and I against MU West son and his girlfriend (all over 30) obviously hurting. Need more bong hits.

True, but he didn't have many turnovers.  I think the key to these future scenarios is what the release guy does in open space once Kam relinquishes the rock.  We need to do a better job of moving the ball once the defense is in scramble mode. We did that a few times but other times overdribbled and didn't reverse the ball.

Jop finish a play on either end challenge

Joplin is who he is. Feast or famine. Not a go to guy.

[ATL MU Warrior]

Got it. I'll pay better attention.

I'm going to come back this even though I'm sure we'll all regret it.

I went back and watched the decisive minutes of the 2nd half last night from when MU was down 10 and came back to tie to when MU fell behind by 7. In the 10-0 run Kam scored or assisted on all 10 points. In ISU's subsequent 7-0 run, Jop had three wild drives, all with 15+ seconds on the shot clock, Royce had a drive into the lane where he threw up a wild brick, and Owens had a wide open 3. Aside from Jop's first and last drives where Kam passed him the ball, Kam never touched the ball on offense and was never doubled.

Looks like somebody else needs to pay more attention. 

And yes, this was petty.

So, you DID pay better attention the next time.

He didn't. He's cherry picking. I was going to let it go...

Stop lying.

Stop lying.

You had/have no idea what you're talking about.  Take the loss.

I'll explain it again if you need me to.

Thank you for this. I definitely did not like the shot selection and possessions after Stevie's foul. Even though Royce and Owens carried us at times offensively, I thought they were a bit quick on the trigger in key moments. I guess I would rather see that than them being timid, but not every available shot is a good shot. Jop might be better served by driving with more control and balance. He seems to go so hard to the bucket, but then when he is cut off he seems surprised and he often gets stuck with his feet in awkward positions and everything comes to a halt. Work in progress, though he has come a long way.

Nope. You were wrong from the beginning. You're either lying now to save face or you don't understand basketball.

Either way pretty pathetic on your part.
