MU vs Nova

[IWB]

I like Mike Patrick, but how many mistakes has he made in first half?

[TedBaxter]

Sutton.....

I think Mike believes MU is in white. He's getting his numbers mixed up.

[be69]

Is he drunk?

[IWB]

He has the teams mixed up - called players by other team's names 1/2 dozen times.

[Nukem2]

Should play Vander and Todd together and take Junior out....

[TedBaxter]

They are just dribbling into the trap.

[TedBaxter]

I'm not sure if Buzz would do this in the second half. If Villanova continues the three quarter court trap, I think Jamil can help bring the ball up and can see over the guards and at least get it into the frontcourt.

[MayorBeluga]

Not sure which is worse: dribbling right into the tap or just passing around the perimeter for 25 seconds.

[ge1974]

When we break the trap we have to take it to the hoop immediately and make them "pay".

PS- Refs suck in this game - both ways. I don't know who is worse tonight. John Gaffney or Mike Patrick?

[MayorBeluga]

And what's with Junior continuing to be lazy with the ball?

[Nukem2]

TOs a killer in this game....

[IWB]

I'm really getting sick of these NBA "shooting fouls" where the offensive player jumps into a guy - crap call on Wilson, that is the 3rd such call tonight

[Nukem2]

Should play Vander and Todd together and take Junior out....
Worth a try.....?

[TedBaxter]

Not a good night. Outtoughed.

[ValiantSailor]

Elmore said, "size advantage of Marquette". When have you ever heard those words before?

VS

[TedBaxter]

I had the DVR going, yelled at my wife that Bell changed his pivot foot when he got the rebound and sure enough he took about 3 steps. MU deserves to lose this game, Archie Bunker is announcing this game in Mike Patrick's voice and the referees have been terrible.

[IWB]

Refs have been terrible. When Blue is defending and they repeatedly push him off with a forearm clearing space. Nova is playing great, but refs are allowing them to do whatever they want. It is beyond ridiculous.

[DCwarrior]

Why do we continue to pass up wide open jump shots and drive into traffic near the lane? Wilson's pass off of O'tule's head is a perfect example (and could have been a huge turning point if he shot and made it), but there had to be a dozen or so of those tonight. I was screaming at the TV telling the guys to just shoot the open shot.

[IWB]

That was a dumb pass - goes up for a wide open theree and tries to dump it down low as the post players battled for position.

[Nukem2]

Think Buzz needs to insert Steve Taylor in the starting lineup to get more production at the beginning of halves. Juan's energy is probably better served off the bench...?

Lockett struggled most of the nite, though with great effort.

Beaten at our own game, VU 18 ftm and MU 14 fta! And Devante focus on your game and not your theatrics! Need more Steve time, love the board work 6 offensive and 8 total.
