Mizzou vs Notre Dame BB

[Lightning Rod]

I think this team needs an attitude adjustment as much as anything, lots of playground in Ant and Phillips.

[MizzouMarv]

What was the call when T.O. got the ball to Ant under the hoop? Did they call traveling? If so, it was the only one they called all out of about 20 they could have called.
Who was the foul on when Crews got the Tech? What was that all about?

[rezero]

I think the foul was on Mitchell on that play, but no idea why Crew got the technical but they said he did it earlier and they may have given him a warning. Yes, it was traveling called by the grey haired guy on on the side away from the benches. He was the same guy who called the technical and the same guy who called Mitchell for that ghost screen.

FT shooting
3-point shooting
Not finding their 3-pt shooters
68% from the line isn't terrible, but not good either. Obviously, we could have used a few more makes. Missed a couple front-ends too.
28.6% from 3 is awful.
ND only shot 33% from 3, but shot 8 more than we did.
ND did a Drake on us. Used the whole clock. We couldn't guard for 30 seconds & they hit an open man & too often they made the open shot.

The guy hitting the 25 ft 3's, Certa, is from a small Catholic HS in Bloomington, IL - would never even get a call from MU. UND is a perimeter team, and it seemed our defense was to dare them to miss. Just like Drake.

I just finished watching the game and a couple of take ways:

1) When Missouri made the first 11-0 run with about 5 min left in first half and the second 8-0 run mid way through the second half, Barrett was on the bench both times.
2) When crunch time hit Northweather was on the court for almost the last 8 minutes, despite only playing 2 minutes the whole first half.
3) Mitchell is great offensively, but he is not fast enough on the wing when in zone. ND was firing 3s from his side of the zone all night and he was nowhere close to them when the shot went up. 6 of their 11 3’s were from his side that he left wide open.
4) This team has potential but seems like they need one more shooter other than just Crew. The starting 5 was 1-10 from behind the arc.

[MizzouMarv]

Too many guys disappeared tonight. Did Porter do anything? He missed 2 or 3 threes then missed everything on a shot from inside the foul line. Needed much more from Phillips and/or Northweather. Mack was a detriment. Boateng did little. Don't think I'll be going to KC. That may be ugly. Maybe tonight's loss will be a slap in the face & we'll bring more vs kU.

[JackBolly]

My hope is that by losing on the road to an inferior talented team, with classic biased ACC officiating, is a wake up call for these guys - nothing can be taken for granted.

I wasn't very high on the guys Gates brought in over the summer, but after watching them the first eight games I thought they might contribute. Tonight I realized my first impression of these guys may have been right. What a sorry effort from our newcomers, just pathetic. If they can't give us more than they showed tonight we may be in for a long season. I had high hopes, but they took the air out of the balloon tonight, and the ball.

Stone looks legit, but is out with injury. Stone could of easily had 12 pts v UND.

Yeah, missing Stone against the cupcakes didn't matter. Against a better team tonight, it did matter in a big way. And Sebastian Mack is a disaster.

Rodney Terry is my new most irritating announcer. Had to mute the sound for a while. Nails on a chalkboard.

Glad I wasn't the only one MIDMO! He was difficult on the ears to say the least...

Yep! He imparted a little knowledge here and there, but was primarily a nd cheerleader!

College ball is starting to look like the NBA. I went to the Cincinnati/Louisville game over Thanksgiving. Same thing. They called one travel when they should have called 20 or so.

[MizzouMarv]

Obviously, we didn't play well enough to win since we didn't, but that call on Ant when the score was tied at 67(?) was ridiculous. Burton(?) fell down into Ant's legs, no foul! It should have been our ball.
Didn't Crews do the same thing last year in the Braggin' Rights game? He rushed an off-balanced 3 that would have tied the game.

I can't complain about the refs being one-sided, though they were inept. That call in favor of T.O. to foul out their 5* guy was bad. T.O. initiated the contact. And a few questionable out of bounds calls went the Tigers' way. In the end, too many guys were not contributing. When Crews is your only 3 ball threat, it's a problem. And I had no problem with Crews trying to tie the game at the end. He was on fire most of the game. Who else was going to do it? Stone needs to return ASAP.

I agree, we are really missing Stone. Based on the games that he played, I think the intent was to pair Ant with Mack hoping Mack could do enough ball handling to free Ant for shots (obviously Mack failed) and pair T O with Stone to have Stone be the shooter (which he was very good at).
