MU Game Recap

Man, that Stephen Obama sure can shoot. I like my change, but least some things dont change....

On to the game today. Getting G'Town at home, nice break there. DaJuan Summers came out stoopid hot and hit hit the first the GTown shots to give them a 8-2 advantage early. Summers ends up 9-12 FG on the game. I cant believe he only took 9 more shots on the game when he was 3-3 in the first 2 minutes. Dude, shoot the rock!!! MU looked a little sluggish early on, but got their shit together to get this game tied at the half at 42.

I was interested to see if Monroe could exploit the lack of MU inside game/height. All in all, he was effective but appeared to play small. He went 5-7 FG but Georgetown never really appeared to make a concerted effort to establish him inside.

Tied at 52 in the second half, MU goes on a 19-6 run and never looks back. MU again relies on the bench not, as again the main 4 all have 36+ minutes. At least this time someone else scored. In the most shocking stat of the game, DJames only shoots 6 times. So you are thinking he had 14 assists....wrong...3. Quiet game. Fun fact, James is shooting 45.9% FT on the season. Are you f-ing kidding me? Dude, Shaq is shooting over 60% this year. Ridiculous.

So, what do I make of this game? They won a game they should have won. Surprised the put up 90, not the game you usually expect against Georgetown (i.e. the normal 52-48 please kill me this is so brutal game....). McNeal is the best player on this team, but they will live and die with Lazar Haywood. He's doing the work inside, 6-6 playing like he's 6-9. Extremely solid, tough, and dependable. They should win their next 2 before going to Villanova, which may be the spot get tripped up on this win streak.
