Murray St. game thread
- Thread starter TulsaEye
- Start date
I was hoping Murray State would cool off before we did, but we kinda both cooled off at the same time
Haith needs to learn to call a timeout at the correct time. That was one of Mizzou fan's biggest qualms with him. He holds on to those Time Outs too long and then the other team comes back and buries another three to push our hole deeper.
Just started watching, have we been using zone the whole time? Seems a bit odd against a team that shoots like this.
Not that I should care, but that last foul we made, and hit the rim during the shot, shouldn't that have been some kind of goal tend against us?
I understand that Swanny wants the crowd to get into it but I am not sure that making one shot when they have been on a 12-2 run deserves us getting up and cheering. How about making 3 or 4 plays. We will get fired up when it's under 10. Until then. PLAY HARDER!!! Follow your shots, be out on the corner man so they don't score 50 from there and Juice...shoot the damn ball!!!!!
This isn't a talent gap. This is a team shooting out of their ass. 60% from the field and 60% from 3.

They can shoot from everywhere. Guard that and give up something else. Either Payne drives or they kick it in to bigs like they did early.
Worst matchup for TU is a really good offensive team that is hitting their shots. We just cant keep up with that. We gotten tons of easy shots, they arent good on D. We just started missing easy shots, as we're prone to do.

Man do I need to provide some murray state t shirts for some of you guys? I'm sure they'll let you cheer for them.

I predicted we would lose by 5. May have to revise that. NBA scouts all around me to see Murray State.

Run them off the line. ALL OF THEM. THEY CAN ALL SHOOT.
Every single one of our guards + Smitty need to be taking 300+ 3pointers a day and keeping track of how many they make in the offseason. I sat their and watched Kim English doing 3 point drills in our gym earlier this season and the difference between his work ethic from outside and our guys' is stark.

We had 5 days to prepare and what we came up with was guard one of the best three point shooting teams in the country with a zone? And don't follow your shots, just shoot and get back so they don't beat us back down the court? We left at least 5 rebounds just sitting there.
So to make up for our defensive flaws we run our usual three guard weave in slow motion and run the clock down and have to put up a prayer or drive into the trees and pray for a miracle. Juice gets it at the top of the key and they immediately step out with their big to slow him down. Have we ever heard of pick and roll? Or do what Murray does and run juices defender off multiple screens? This is not rocket science.
There won't be 500 people here the last 5 minutes if we don't compete in this second half. Hell if rather see us play the backups if this continues so they can at least participate.
This game speaks volumes about how far we really have to go to be competitive. And no Birt won't solve all our problems. Although from what little I've seen of him he has little conscience and at least will jack it up.

We did have that one Canadian kid out of prep school that was in summer school and ended up leaving.
