Playing Mitchell the whole second half is Shaka's fault. Something is up with him and he should have been pulled off the court.

Mitchell just gave up another open look right in his face that went in and out.

Mitchell has had a bad game for sure. Normally he plays well on defense, but not in this game.

Mitchell was a foot short on that 3 attempt. One bad play happens, but he has screwed up on almost every possession the whole second half. Mitchell is a good player, and not a moron. It is like we are watching someone completely different wearing his uniform.

The best argument against Mitchell and Joplin being involved in something funky is that if they were trying to fix the game, they were too obvious about it. If I was one of those two, I would have been a little more subtle.

I had a sinus infection and an ear infection after BET , I never felt bad, went to work everyday like it was a nuisance cold. Only difference was blowing neon green snot. A few days later I lost all hearing ( I mean all of it) in my right ear , I saw an ENT early this week. I got some hearing back, but I ended up with 60% hearing loss in my right ear. I’m now faced with a choice of surgery with coin flip odds that it can repair, or a permanent hearing aid.

So you are not wrong.
 
NC State was like 7-11 vs the ACC during season.

Joplin was terrible but whenever I watch Marq I hardly ever see Mitchell make shots, he's always bricking, he's mostly an energy guy imo

This adds to Shaka's rep of not getting it done in the tournament but I wouldn't put this one on him. The players had wide open shots the entire game and bricked all of them, couldn't make ft's, and had so many unforced w t f turnovers it made it look like guys were on the take.
 
4/31 from 3 is just brutal. Can’t say I’ll miss Kolek if it was his last game.
 
Marquette played about as bad as a team can play. I can’t recall a team missing so many open 3s. They also had many sloppy turnovers and missed free throws.

That's definitely his role. Unless he is extremely wide open, like no one within a 7 feet radius of him, he won't make 3 pointers.
 
Marquette has had a lot of chinks in the armor in their supporting cast. Generally lack the “dawg” mentality you need, rely too much on finesse. Brutal on the boards, rely on turning the ball over. Doesn’t work in a 6 game run, easy to game plan. Joplin is just not a great player, especially when it matters. In a game where it was clear the 3 wasn’t dropping, they really had no way to create consistent offensive opportunities, and kept missing them. Awful exit. Shaka needs to go recruit a couple dawgs that can jumpstart the soft team culture. They have a finesse 5, a finesse 4, a gap at the 3 and then two plus guards that can’t carry a team.

Damn, I am sorry to hear about that August. I kept reading your post and was waiting for a sarcastic punch line.

Embarrassing showing from Marquette. 4/31 from 3. Totally self-inflicted.

I think the depth perception got to them. It bothered us in Brooklyn. It happens. They couldn’t hit anything on clean looks
