[MU Viking]

Let's go, Marquette!

Big surprise, Ben Howland thinks Georgetown will win.

[IWB]

Joshua Smith listed at 350 - that might be a bit shy of his actual weight - that guy is a freaking load.

[IWB]

LJ Peak rolls an ankle, refs in the way, what happened on TV?

[MU Viking]

Ran after the ball and collided awkwardly with a teammate.

[IWB]

Carlino off to a hot start, won't hold that last miss against him, shot clock at 1 and he sure looked like he got hit.

Crowd is great today, very load, very vocal!

[ge1974]

Any recruits in the house?

[IWB]

First stats are out - MU 4-5 from the field, all 5 attempts were threes, all 4 makes were assisted. Already 3 turnovers. Waay too early for three turnovers.

[IWB]

If Steve Taylor follows his own shot even just a little, he gets that rebound!

[IWB]

And then he comes down with a strong move and scores - if he could just be a little consistent he could be a solid player.

[IWB]

MU now 6-8 from field, all 6 shots were assisted. Great ball movement, but need to keep that up. Turnovers now at 4, need to stop that bleeding!

[IWB]

I'm sorry, did Derrick Freaking Wilson just dunk?

[milkbone]

I think my eyes are playing tricks with me

[ge1974]

I don't believe what I just saw to quote Joe Buck sr

[mufan2003]

Somewhere Bill Walton said "Throw it Down little big man!!!"

[IWB]

Any recruits in the house?

Matt Heldt is here, don't see any others but will check at halftime.

[MU Viking]

That Derrick Wilson dunk was stunning.

[MU Viking]

Um, Matt Carlino, the Globetrotters usually play on New Years' Eve in the BC.

[ge1974]

Great game so far but I think the pace will have to slow down in the second half for us to win. We held. Georgetown to only 2 second half fgs in the first game.

[IWB]

Thompson sure was giving it to the refs LONG into the timeout.

Stat update - Rebounds locked at 10 a piece. MU up to 7 turnovers, but no one has more than one so the blame is shared. Georgetown with 7 fouls, but only Paul White has two.

[IWB]

Foul on Luke Fischer - there's Ed Corbett for you.

[IWB]

Detroit Piston and former Georgetown star Greg Monroe is sitting behind G'Town bench

[IWB]

After Corbett gave MU the bench warning he went and bitched at Brad Nelson. Not sure what Nelson did or said, but Corbett needs to be in the spotlight.

[ge1974]

Cannot leave Smith-Rivera open

[mcwman]

Clearly 3 steps on the buzzer shot on tv replay...wojo right

[ge1974]

Georgetown had 18 first half fgs but had only two the entire second half in the first game

[MUMac]

Matt Heldt is here, don't see any others but will check at halftime.

Don't know who, but one is near me. About 6'5"/6'6".

[MUMac]

After Corbett gave MU the bench warning he went and bitched at Brad Nelson. Not sure what Nelson did or said, but Corbett needs to be in the spotlight.

Corbett is a hot headed a$$hole.

[DCwarrior]

Marquette playing really well so far, but G'town is just more talented (and they're on fire). Hopefully Smith-Rivera cools off and we have a chance at the end.

[Markedman]

Offensively we can't play a whole lot better then that...and still down 6.


Hoyas doing a great job of moving the balla gainst the zone and getting good looks for DSR.

Smith is just too big.....

[ge1974]

They have 11 assists to 4 turnovers so far. Their interior passing has been excellent. We must play better "D" and make this game "ugly".

[IWB]

Where you at Mac? What's he wearing?

[IWB]

First half Stats
Rebounds - Georgetown 14-10
Turnovers - MU 7, G'Town 4
Points in Paint - 20-20
Points off of Turnovers - G'Town 9-2
2nd Chance Points - G'Twon 10-4 (where are the defensive rebounds? Georgetown has 6 offensive rebounds)
Fast Break Points - G'Twon 9-2

[DCwarrior]

Duane Wilson on fire

[IWB]

Marquette is 7-12 from 3pt land. Can't remember the last time I saw shooting like that from beyond the arc.

[MUMac]

Where you at Mac? What's he wearing?

202. It is the junior and 8th grader from Racine Park.

Saw Nick's parents at halftime. Kevin sporting a nice baby blue MU pullover.

[DCwarrior]

This would be a good game to have recruits at: exciting game, lots of offense, good crowd, big name opponent

[IWB]

MU shooting 100% in second half, 66.7% for the game.

[DCwarrior]

Fischer needs to stop trying to back Smith down

[IWB]

Exactly - I don't think Shaq could back him down. But he can't jump, so face him and shoot over him!

[IWB]

Copeland for Georgetown is a stud for any year, but for a freshman? That kid is gonna be good.

[IWB]

Typical Corbett - ball clearly off of Georgetown, but he pauses until the crowd gets quiet before signaling MU ball - it's all about him baby!

[ge1974]

MU needs to set much better screens for Carlino

[MUMac]

MU needs to set much better screens for Carlino

Carlino needs to do a better job of using the screens as well.

[IWB]

It appears Corbett & Co will allow the 350 pounder to do whatever he wants.

[IWB]

No surprise that Corbett's whistle says "Big Ten" on the side of it?

[DCwarrior]

Wasn't Juan a decent 3-point shooter as a Freshman? What happened?

[ge1974]

These refs suck.

[mufan2003]

Need Cohen in over Juan, Cohen playing well and can hit the 3.

[mcwman]

Review of tv shows #4 grabs carlinos shooting arm on layup attempt

[Markedman]

Carlino and Duane on fire from 3 so ofcourse Juan takes 1 in crunch time and bricks it.......

[IWB]

Can't believe Joshua Smith only has 3 fouls. Guy should have a baker's dozen.

[DCwarrior]

Free throws!

[DCwarrior]

No foul on Wilson's 3?

[IWB]

Bradley Center hasn't been showing any replays at all. Was Wilson's shot a 3? Was he fouled on the shot? Did Fischer foul?

[DCwarrior]

Wilson's iffy...Fischer was a foul

[IWB]

Wow - did not think that was going in - Huge shot by Carlino. Now hold them for freaking .9!!

[IWB]

Thanks DC - literally, no replays here in the BC

[IWB]

Now MU has to hope for an overtime without Fischer - ouch

[IWB]

Again, here in the BC, not one replay of Carlino's 3/2. Was he on the line?

[CR45]

Again, here in the BC, not one replay of Carlino's 3/2. Was he on the line?

From all the replays on tv, it looked like he was on the line.

[Markedman]

looked like it was on the line..barely...what an amazing game

[ge1974]

Only one angle shown where His left tippy toe may have been on the line

[IWB]

Georgetown player on ground rolls all the way over - should have been an automatic travel!!

[TedBaxter]

Replay was from behind. Said the official nearest said it was a 2.

[Markedman]

anybody still wondering if Duane can shoot the 3?

[DCwarrior]

Again, here in the BC, not one replay of Carlino's 3/2. Was he on the line?

Couldn't tell. If it was called a 3 at the time, they wouldn't have overturned it

[MUMac]

Couldn't tell. If it was called a 3 at the time, they wouldn't have overturned it

It was a 3 on the scoreboard, so it had to have been called a 3 on the court.

[DCwarrior]

G'town freshmen are really good

[Markedman]

unfortunately predictable overtime.....MU ran out of gas......hell of an effort

[IWB]

Georgetown 95 Marquette 85

Damn - what could have, what should have, what wasn't a win.
Trawick's a tool - taunting MU fans on their way out.

[TedBaxter]

Why wasn't Trawick playing? I listened to most of the game driving in the car.

[Markedman]

Hopkins making 10 out of 11 free throws......54% shooter.....

[IrwinFletcher]

And how about the travel that wasn't called on Gtown's shot at the buzzer at end of 1st half. Should not have been allowed.

[mufan2003]

Not at the game today, but guys on Fox Sports 1 (Howland and Croshere) very complimentary of MU. Said MU has only lost close games. More talent is on the way and "ARE GOING TO BE VERY GOOD." We all know that but good to see it said on national TV. (Still amazing how we are allergic to closing out games and getting a W).

[mufan2003]

Billy McKinney, Director of Scouting for the Milwaukee Bucks was sitting first row on the baseline.

[TheSultan]

It was a 3 on the scoreboard, so it had to have been called a 3 on the court.


At least one ref called it a two. Too bad they didn't have a better camera angle because he very well may have been behind the line.

[IWB]

Uncle Johns photo shows it was a three.

There were three nba scouts there, bucks, bulls, heat.

JTIII just said Trawick was injured and told them he couldn't go in second half, I think he turned an ankle as did Peak.

[KMWTRUCKS]

how do they only have 1 camera angel? WOJO should have been fronting smith more. he is too big to let him get the ball and has really good hands. He is like davante big brother a few inchs taller and and 60 lbs bigger.

[MKE_GoldenEagleFan]

I was watching on TV, looked like a 2...

[Markedman]

I hate losing but that was a fun game to watch....most of our games this year have not been entertaining....this 1 certainly was....both teams played at a very high level

[mufan2003]

Not sure what the NCAA rule is on replay (if like the NFL), if it was called a 3 on the court, they should have stayed with the call.....if it was ruled a 2 on the court, they should have stayed with it being a 2.....the replay was not conclusive. I believe they initially ruled it a 3, the replay was not conclusive to overturn it.

[ge1974]

Why wasn't there more than one angle from Fox for the shot??? You'd think every camera would be on Carlino with seconds left.

[2012Warrior]

I'm fairly certain they called it a two on the floor. I think the confusion is that it was scored a 3 but the closest official called it a 2.

[Nukem2]

I hate losing but that was a fun game to watch....most of our games this year have not been entertaining....this 1 certainly was....both teams played at a very high level
Crowd was good at the BC as well today. But, from the heights to the depths in the end though definitely entertaining.

[Nukem2]

Man is Joshua Smith a load. No one could get around him and he had 15 rebounds. Looked like he demolished MU players several times with no foul called though.... :(
