        I noticed after SHJ's game winner, Markis ran over and gave him a hug, but no high five. Can any of the body language experts here tell me what that means regarding his leadership?

          Asbjorn was running after SHJ too! I thought he was going to go all Andre the Giant on him.

        Basically you think 50%of the shots SHJ and MM take are bad, regardless of reality and all the others take are great also regardless of reality. But lets assume this premise. So I'm supposed to be wanting more "good" shots from players who consistently can't shoot better than these other players despite them taking all these "bad" shots. Interesting. Sounds like a good game plan. All these shots that the others took that had a chance to go in all the time sure don't happen that often. Weird.

          Happy for the team, much better 2nd half the ball movement was better. Agree that Burton has to be willing to take open shots and eventually I think he will. Mitguard keeps showing he has a place on this team and keeps improving. SHJ hits another clutch shot, despite it all you have to be happy for the kid. Coach will definitely remember 300. Happy Birthday Coach!

            In terms of aggressiveness, I thought it was AM's best game as a shocker.

            I thought Mitgard played his tail off. At the beginning of the season - I wondered if he would be around next season. What a turnaround.

            DD had some huge rebounds

            Burton has got to shoot when he's open

            The entire team is playing with a lot more energy. I'm proud of these guys.

            Nice win !!!

            Go Shox !!!

            Lots of issues, but wins are tough to come by this year. Not knocking any win.

              Hey I can spin it right back at cha bub.

              So you think it's better to play chuck-a-duck and shoot shots that have no chance of going in and are essentially turnovers? A lot of shots that MM and SHJ take have no offensive rebounders present and often time result in quick offensive series and scores by the opposition. It has happened countless times throughout the year.

              The seniors have reached their ceiling. They aren't getting any better. Meanwhile, the freshmen have tons of upside and will improve. Why not give them more opportunities? Not to mention, the youngsters make more shots when they get good feeds from their teammates. Maybe concentrate on passing the ball more instead of having to throw up junk without an offense and maybe they start making a few more?

              You're hopeless. Don't start this fight tonight. Enjoy the win and move on.

                  Lots of blame to pass around as to why we stunk so bad for the first 2/3 of the game. As for the seniors, it doesn’t help when our offense is stagnant for 20 seconds then Burton dishes off to Dennis or Stevenson, who then fumble the ball and shuttle it to SHJ or McDuffie to try to throw up a prayer with the shot clock winding down. It was brutal to watch until we started pressing on defense.

                    Yeah the offense was especially brutal. There were more than a handful of times where a freshman was in the cutting lane of another player who was actually about to come open. One brutal one was Markis was cutting off a nice screen off the ball from I believe Asbjorn and for some reason JB was cutting across the middle of the paint... Away from the ball... Right into the backside action.

                    Offense was all the underclassmen's fault; seniors were fault-free.

                    While I appreciate the rent free living space in your head I never said that. Yes sometimes seniors made mistakes too, but the freshman do it a lot. And that's just a fact, Marshall's system isn't easy and it's probably nothing like what they ran before, it's always been this way. Markis wasn't much better his freshman year and he played with 4 seniors.

                    Anybody else notice one of the UCONN assistants go after one of the other assistants at the end of the game. He was livid as in "I told you so"!

                      I saw one of them slam a clipboard to the ground right at the end

                    On the tv, I saw an assistant slam his papers down as they were showing Gilbert on the bench after the game ended.

                        Sadly, that’s the game today. Mix that with driving spins in the paint, the “euro step”, and the “roll on the ground until you find a teammate to pass to” and I struggle to recognize basketball
