Mike Anderson on bouncing back from loss to Nebraska
Mike Anderson on the big picture after an opening loss at Nebraska in Big 12 play:
“It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Lot of basketball left. You want to have opportunity to contend for conference championship. It wasone we felt we had a chance to go in and steal. It’s like the first game of the tournament, you never know how team is going to come out. We didn’t match the intensity. We’ve played 16 games and in 14 have matched the energy. It’s still early, hopefully a lesson learned.”
On Colorado: “A huge game for us after dropping one on road. We’ve got to be prepared for it. He (Jeff Bzdelik) is starting to get type of players that he wants. They are young. Every game is going to be an interesting game in our league. We just have to come home, regroup and play better. Take care of the home front and go on road and steal some.”
On Nebraska loss: “We have to match intensity and our defense has to pick up. Got stagnant early in game. Very uncharacteristic the the type of turnovers we had. We never got over the hump. The first half put us behind the eight ball. Have to change the starts of games. What you saw was a lot of things being forced. We let game come to us instead of taking it to them.”
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE It’s time to get rid of this coach and get someone good in to the MU program. SLU is stealing all of the good players that a team like MU should be getting. Anderson is not a Big 12 caliber coach and his son YEAH……..HE SHOULD BE ON THE TEAM. NOT! I mean seriously.
