Much better start than the G'town game. Good ball movement so far.

All set to praise Heldt's play and he picks up a Grimmer. Alas...

Think Matt may make us happy sometimes by the end of this season. He is progressing.

Duane's missed free throw and turnover just cost MU 4 points on the offensive end and Providence hits a 3. 7 point swing. Can't have that.

Duane has not had a good game. 2-5 from the FT line and at least one of the misses was a front end of the bonus.

DWilson might be the most maddening player in years. The highs are so high and the lows are so low.

[CaribouJim]

Wow!!!

[MUMac]

And that last drive was one of those highs. It should have been and 1 as well.

[CaribouJim]

Yes!!!!!!!

My dogs ran away from me on that block of Dunn's shot. My screams scared them, I guess.

Sloppy game but thrilled with the result

You always a naghead downer or what?

It was a sloppy game on both sides. MU had close to 20 turnovers, but Providence had a season high in turnovers as well! A great gut check win to give up a big lead and fight back from an 8 point deficit to win it at the end!!! Awesome, baby!

That's funny. Same thing happens in my house.

What he said was correct. MU was sloppy with the ball.

Huge for the team, though, to play that way, down by 8 late on the road against a Top 10 team and pull out the win.

Two offensive rebounds, 19 turnovers and ....we still won the game. Incredible toughness!

As I mentioned after the Georgetown game I like it when MU uses the 2-3 zone because it reduces other teams athleticism advantage over us and helps with our defensive rebounding. I think the 2-3 zone in the second half is one of the primary reasons we won tonight. Go MU!

My wife is not happy, thinks I hurt my 3 week old son's ear drums. I'm new to parenting so it's certainly possible but I told her he needs to get used to it. 😀 What a win, hell yeah boys!
