Message: [QUOTE="MU in MKE, post: 4496977, member: 9984"] I think you guys are jumping all over Hurl I totally agree with this. Bigs are NOT the problem, it's the guard play. If Hurley plays two bigs last night, Omax and team would have had an even bigger field day. This was just a matchup problem for both teams and it was MU that figured something out in the second half. Notice both Sanogo and Clingan was drawn out a lot more and MU stopped trying to shoot over him in the paint. I'll use example of MU vs Purdue, because even though the box score from the MU/Purdue game didn't show it, they played very similar game last night to how they played Edey - where for most of the game had Edey shut down pretty well until 1. he played outside his normal game style and 2. the guards really showed up. That's what needed to happen last night and Hurley gave the team a shot at it by trying to give Sanogo more time and trying every guard lineup he could conceive of. It's just that no one was able to overcome and stand out to close the deal. (Being an MU guy, I'm just going to chalk it up to our tenacious D* guys though) UConn is a GREAT team and one of the very best of the best this year. I wouldn't get down over a few road games against the top of the Big East on the road. This isn't the American anymore! *not at all related to anything music [/QUOTE]
