The only good thing about Tenessee...whiskey. Oh ya, and firework stands.
Otherwise....Volunteers suck. Droolin'', cousin kissin', couch burning, toothless, knuckle daggers.
GO WARRIORS!!!!
-
At least we don't have to play vs. Jeronne.
-
Gooo Marquette Gooo!!!

Can you buy one of those knuckle daggers on Amazon?
Can dgies and I be two more good things about Tennessee?
-
Let's go Juan! These look like better announcers already.
-
wow. looks like we are going to handle the press well...
-
My eyes are rolling. How is Juan that lazy against the press?
-
The Juan Anderson press break can end anytime now..
-
What happened to Wojo's hand? ?-(
-
WTF happened to wojo's hand/wrist?
-
Let's count all the misses inside 3 feet. I count two before we even score a point (STJ and Juan)
-
Ughhh. Terrible start
-
We're about to get blown out already..
-
And the missed layup.....and he gets pulled.....
Great start, looks like back to norm.
-
We look way out of sorts. Horrible defense, clumsy offense.
-
WTF happened to wojo's hand/wrist?
He was tired of the Derrick Dawson debate.
-
They look tired and uninterested. This will get ugly
-
Gonna take a bit to figure out the press and 1-3-1
-
Offensive rebound on the floor and Taylor lazily bends down instead of throwing himself at it. Show some damn intensity.
He was tired of the Derrick Dawson debate.
I'd hate to see the other guy. Is Ners ok?
-
WTF happened to wojo's hand/wrist?
over aggressive floor slap?
-
WTF happened to wojo's hand/wrist?
May not get real story but I'm sure he punched a wall...or something. You don't bust open you hand like that any other way. Pretty wild to have that happen before a game even starts. Perhaps he sensed team was flat in pre-game.
-
Holding them to 80% shooting.
What game, if any, will we again hold an opponent under 50%?
-
We'll come back. Not gonna be down the whole game. Getting open shots.
-

That may be our sorts!
-
Nice drive for Derrick. With UT's guards maybe we should be pressing too.
-

Maybe with luke? Against a cupcake? If you can consider any team we play a cupcake
-
Did they change the foul rules this year? I've seen a number of no-calls on buckets where there's clear, no-doubt contact.
-
We are playing like complete and utter ass
-

Caught it on the door of the locker room just before tip. Or, at least, that's what the announcers said
-
Wojo with a pretty clear expletive there. He's not happy, nor should he be.
-
Juan "unnatural carnal knowledge you" to wojo
-
We are playing like complete and utter ass
true. Tenn just looks light years ahead of us in skill level though
-
Getting pummeled on the boards.
Carlino shooting five feet from NBA land
Juan terrible. Wojo just destroying hm in timeout
Deserve to be down.
-
Shut up Juan. Sit down.
-
Juan and Wojo goin at it a bit. Zoiks.
-
We cannot play Man-to-man D ... need to go back to zone.
-
Whoa, Wojo with the f-bomb and .. kinda looked like Taylor turned the team away from the coach, like hey, we're gonna have our own huddle here, Wojo.
-
"Duck you!" From Juan to wojo
-
Wojo may take Juan out....as in tko
-
This team is not good. Period.
-
Whoa, Wojo with the f-bomb and .. kinda looked like Taylor turned the team away from the coach, like hey, we're gonna have our own huddle here, Wojo.
I thought I saw Juan say "f you" to wojo

He did and steve tried to settle him, and he blew him off.

Duane though.

-
Let's get it within 2 by half
-
Helluva play by dwil
-
At least we are racking up fouls and not committing them.
-
Not sure how we're only down 5. ?-(
-
Duane is a Star in the making.
-
Juan back in.
-
Zone working, and Cohen looks like he has picked it up
-
Juan. Bad. Bad. Bad. Good!!!
-
Duane is a Star in the making.
This
-
Strong play by Du. We need to just play hard and Tenn will fall apart. But we have to rebound better.
-
zone looks to be working against tenn.
anderson looks like someone lit a fire under him when he came back in
-
Juan. Bad. Bad. Bad. Good!!!
Haha exactly how that went. Great effort won out over horrible skill in that segment.
Charge by dwil!!
At least our guys fight.
-
I can't tell if the zone D looks great or Tennessee just sucks. Probably a little of both.
-
Strong play by Du. We need to just play hard and Tenn will fall apart. But we have to rebound better.
Yep. They are big enough that position is not enough. Must get a body on them and then move for the ball.
-
TENN with 8 fouls. Must take advantage
-
Pack 3, Pats 0
-
This team is not good. Period.
And this is why you don't want to make sweeping generalizations like this too early. 1 point game.
-
Pack 3, Pats 0
What's the score of the Bears game?
-
And this is why you don't want to make sweeping generalizations like this too early. 1 point game.
Way to early, Juan needs to have more F
Bombs during time outs. Hes playing good now.
-
BTW, Jimmy had at least 16 in the first half. 9 of 10 from the line.
-
If you say Denote's Shoes and what the announcers said, that is why you have to give him time. Evaluate him in February, not now.
-
JJJ nice
-
JJJ traveled.
-
Gotta stop letting them play volleyball though.
-
JJJ got away with one. Nice runner.
How many offensive boards are we going to give them?
-
Way to handle that pass JJJ!!!
Good idea on the pass Juan!
-
great comeback. love the fight.
-
Here we go!! Tenn will come back to earth on their shooting and we need to rebound better.
-
That's the second time De Wilson was fouled driving and scoring with nothing called.
-
zone really allows our guys' natural instincts to jump passing lanes
-
We can't let them get that deep in the lane
-
We'll come back. Not gonna be down the whole game. Getting open shots.
bump.
-
Love Du's confidence
-
Man. Then energy that all these guys have is why I'm super optimistic for even next year.
-
What's the score of the Bears game?
You have not heard ... they are no longer allowed to play on Sunday
-
Wheels falling off for tennessee. Nice to see us do that to another team.
-
Practicing his NBA 3's
-
This team does have some heart. I have a feeling this team will be really fun to watch in the coming years.
-
We'll be very lucky if Duane spends 4 years at Marquette and is not a pro after 2. This kid is gonna be scary good once he puts it all together. Next level good.
-
Duane the real thing.
DWil nicely improved over last year.
Juan improved over last year with some of the same flaws.
Carlino about as advertised.
JJJ and Deonte showing flashes, but need consistency.
Steve a bit disappointing so far.
Cohen haven't seen enough
Dawson who knows.
Still think it's going to be fun and frustrating year.
-
Man. Then energy that all these guys have is why I'm super optimistic for even next year.
Yes. All they require is some height to catch up with the rebounding and interior defense. With Heldt, and the two Ellensons, that will be the solution.
-
dang had Duane a few times on kick outs.
-
what a pass by derrick. juan has more energy than anyone i've ever seen
-
That was a ridiculously stupid bail out. This UT team does not seem smart. Should have been a T.
-

Seems a little quick. He will want to stay for our NC.

Dawsons bags are packed.
-
Good try by Carlino. But look at Juan knock down one anyway
-
Derrick made a free throw! Yes!
-
Wrong guys going to the line.
1-2 is a win with Juan or derrick
-
hopefully the refs do not try to even the fouls in the 2nd half
-
Dawsons bags are packed.
Why do you do that?
-
At this rate Derrick and Juan can take all the free throws. It won't matter because they'll literally be playing 4-on-5 when everyone fouls out.
-
Good Lord that is an ugly free throw stroke.
-
Down 9-0 and 17-6.
Up 35-30 at half? I'm 100% ok with that.
-
Great comeback. Up 5 at half and playing hard. Need to box out better in the second.
-
Derrick should have been at the line. Looked like he got a finger in the eye on that half court heave.
-
Pack 6, Pats 0
-
Second half gotta look to get into bonus again and let Duane an carlino shoot em late.
-
Soooooo.....what's the beverage of choice today?
Just had my last sip of Woodford Reserve. Switching to Booker in 2nd half.
-
DePaul beat Stanford lol
-
halftime banter...what really happened to wojo's hand?
I read Ner's take (punch a wall). I'm gonna go pre-game tussle with Juan.
(and no, neither Ners or I have sources)
-

Back to New Belgium 1554 today.
-

at that point, take out DeW and Juan. Let's hope we get into that position.
-
I've given Derrick a lot of flak over the years but I gotta say he looked very good on both sides of the ball this half. Hope to see him continue to play like that.
-
As frustrating as this team can be. I'm having way more fun watching them than last year's team at any point.
-

Without doubt. They actually run the court this year. I felt like we lost all of our transition offense last season.

Hey .. give this a try, see if it works for the iPad people.
Down at the bottom is a "shout box" .. you type in whatever you want for a name, then .. chat. Maybe it could be a non-flash replacement.

Typical Scoop game thread. We get off to a slow start and the "fans" turn against the team. Team climbs back into game and then takes lead and it's still not good enough. This team deserves better.
-

Wondering about this as well. I don't buy the story about the locker room door.

Wojo tried to punch Bane in the face, not realizing Bane's face is made of steel.

Ners is typing with a limp.

Ya not a chance he "caught his hand on the locker room door", he for sure punched a wall.

To be fair it seems like there's only a small amount of guys on here who do that. I'd like to think a lot of us are just enjoying this years team for what it is.
-
They look tired and uninterested. This will get ugly
Maybe wait more than a couple of minutes into the game before predicting a blowout.
-
I wants me a Yumbo.
Yuuuuumbo!
-

Derrick has played a nice game thus far. Though I do wish at the end of the half on that inbound after TN made FT - he would have inbounded it to Duane, instead of making Duane inbound it to him. Duane wanted the ball/not be inbounder and Derrick basically said not so much, and made Duane inbound it. (Unfortunately.)
-

What? I don't think anyone on here is unhappy with the team. I think most are proud and having fun seeing a small inexperienced group fight.
-
Jimmy Butler schooling Brooke Lopez ... I'd trade all of them for one Dwight Burke stop 6 years ago!

Only 2 seconds left so it's not really a huge difference IMO.

+1. Though if we had made the S16 that year, Crean would have gotten an even bigger paycheck from IU...

JayBee hangs out in chat rooms. ;)
-
Yes, floor slaps!!!
-
If you're gonna slap the floor, Duane, you better make a stop.
-
Nice shot by Du. Thought the angle called for a bank but.....damn he's gonna be good.
-
One of Derrick's best qualities is his strength when driving to the hoop. He's done a very nice job of that this year, especially in this tournament. He seems much more aggressive. I don't see as much of the PG dribbling the air out of the ball as we've seen in the past.
-
Soooooo.....what's the beverage of choice today?

First Fistmas of the season. I'm very happy.

Tennessee cannot get out of their own way.

Switch to the app and you'll go to Best Buy after the game and burn every Surface Pro 3.
-
Hell of a pass by Duane!!
-
Du has to follow his shot. Play smart.
Great pass to Teve!
-
Awesome pass by Duane. Glad Steve finished the lay-up :D
-
First Fistmas of the season. I'm very happy.
Never had any, but sounds good
-
C'mon Juan.
-
Can Steve dunk?
-
Juan is having a terrible, terrible second half so far.
Missed bunny, missed rebounds, two turnovers.
-
Isn't it a goaltend if you touch the net when the ball is on the rim? Tennessee has done that a bunch on offense.
-
MU is really team rebounding on the D end now
-
Can Steve dunk?
I doubt it. He jumps like his shoes are made of concrete.
-
Practicing now missing his NBA 3's
-
Duane really trying some deep 3s
-
Practicing now missing his NBA 3's
Yes, two of them in a row and they have hurt the team. Both after defensive stops, along with Juan miscue, that was three out of four possessions leading to nothing.
-
Bane
-
great press-break.
greater finish.
-
Offense just can't get going. Tennessee missing a ton, need to capitalize.
-
Nice!
-
TN finding that Valentine corner of the zone, and hitting none of the wide open threes.
Burton highlight reel of the day!
-
Tennessee missing butt loads of open treys.
-
Loving the effort on the defensive glass!
-
Big shot for Duane. Looks much better from college range.
-
Derrick. When JJJ and Juan are both wide open. You go to the better shooter in the corner.
-
Proud of our guys. I think we're playing really well given the lack of size and depth. Once Luke is back we're going to be a totally different team I think.
-
Loving the effort on the defensive glass!
27 to 16 edge to Tenn. They are starting to go inside now, while MU is starting to jack up the threes.

Really struggling now.

I'm just happy to see effort there. In the earlier games no one other than Juan and Steve even tried to get boards. Down in Orlando the guards have fought much harder to get involved on the glass.

Can you understand a few things:
1. Some people dont care about the packers or the bulls
2. Some people want to watch the other games going on later on DVR and dont want an pretty boy ruining it.
3. This is a game thread.
Tennessee run expected. We'll respond well.
-
Making bad decisions the last couple minutes...this one may slip away...
-
This is why we needed to keep scoring. Will be very disappointing if we don't win this.
Big shot Duane!
-
Duane again!
Pretty boy? That was harsh.
-
DU..
Sold
-
2. Some people want to watch the other games going on later on DVR and dont want an pretty boy ruining it.
score runs on the bottom of the screen every three minutes.
-

For Tennessee
-
Wow.
-
Glad he made it but he need to stop taking those.
-
Duane is Novak/Reddick?
-
Great D by DWil
-
Making bad decisions the last couple minutes...this one may slip away...
Big shot by Wilson.
Those three NBA misses
Carolino out of control miss
Juan turnover
Du Wilson offensive foul
Those possessions hurt.
and Du Wilson thinking he is Allen Iverson, wow.....
-
Oh, if Buzz did not tell Duane he was hurt and not ready and red-shirted him ... what last year could have been.
-
Geez. Du can shoot. I don't like how far out he is but damn!
-
Think we found the BE ROY.
-
DU..
Sold
Squared
-
score runs on the bottom of the screen every three minutes.
I don't even care, but I never look at the bottom bar. Leave this thread to MU.
-
That out of bounds TO and then not getting the board hurt.
Back to 5 pt game
-
Oh, if Buzz did not tell Duane he was hurt and not ready and red-shirted him ... what last year could have been.
We still would have been bad. Glad he redshirted.
-
Think we found the BE ROY.
Still an uphill battle. Isaiah Whitehead is the real deal.
-
Duane from the Parking Lot!!!! Bang!
If he bottles this up and shores up his defense. He'll be playing on the Bucks in 2 years.
-
Rebound differential pretty significant.
-
Yumboo
-
Duane from the Parking Lot!!!! Bang!
If he bottles this up and shores up his defense. He'll be playing on the Bucks in 2 years.
So he should probably tone it down a bit? ;D
-
Ball movement is so much better than it ever was last year.
-
Rebound differential pretty significant.
Tenn killing MU on offensive boards, 13 to 4.
If only they had a 6ft 9 240 PF, with hands.
-
Derrick!
-
Wilson!!!
Derrick that is!!!!
-
The world is ending. Way to go Derrick!
-
Ners just pooped his pants
-
DeWil! 6 3s in 4 years! We'll take it!
-
Derrick novak for 3!!!
-
Derrick novak for 3!!!
I laughed
-
Steve bad drop.
-
Come on Teve. Need to catch it and finish
-
Derrick's doubled his three point output from last year!
-
Dang just can't put them away
-
I've seen snakes with better hands than Steve Taylor.
-
How are we not in the bonus?
-
Come on Taylor, jeez. Both him and Anderson have no hands on offense in the post. Then a foul, ugh.....
MU is going to have to make free throws later in this game.
-
How are we not in the bonus?
Not nearly as many fouls this half. I bet they only have like 4.
So were gonna be shooting 1 and 1 trying to ice it
-
This is what we need from Derrick. Not to be great, but to keep defenses honest and to get into the lane. He's been good this tournament.
-
I don't remember DeWil palming the ball before dribbling like he's doing today, like he's Derrick Jordan.
-
Offensive rebounds, my goodness.
-
In and out leads to fast break.
Duane!!
-
Wow! Du is en fuego
-
Derrick is playing exactly as I've always wanted him to. Not bring responsible for running the offense. Playing solid D. Taking what he's given on O. He's got a fantastic line.
-
I don't remember DeWil palming the ball before dribbling like he's doing today, like he's Derrick Jordan.
Noticed the same thing. Big hands
-
Great game today. Duane is the real deal.
-
It's the Wilson Show.
UT 3-17 from three, only a few bad selections.
-
Time for Ten. to go to the Hack a Derack strategy!!!!
-
This is fun, I'll try to remember this feeling.
-
It's the Wilson Show.
UT 3-17 from three, only a few bad selections.
About time MU played a team who wasn't hitting everything.
-
Derrick is playing exactly as I've always wanted him to. Not bring responsible for running the offense. Playing solid D. Taking what he's given on O. He's got a fantastic line.
He is making really good decisions. Previously, his reluctance to shoot or drive meant that he had no decision to make. Now that he is willing to shoot ( once in a while), and is more aggressive driving, he also has better options for passing. And he is making good choices.
-
These guys are fun 8-) You can already see growth and improvement. Confidence definitely going up and we have numerous guys that can be an offensive threat. This may not be the best team we've had in the past decade, but I feel confident we'll be very proud of these guys.
-
Wilsons have 20 of our points in the second half
-
Great game today. Duane is the real deal.
Duane Wilson + Ellenson next year..........
Scary
-
Time to pull Derrick.
-
Time for Ten. to go to the Hack a Derack strategy!!!!
Announcer didn't hear you. Thinks MU wants De Wil on the floor
-
Why are we letting Derrick go to the line?
-
Time to pull Derrick.
+1
Although he just made the front end.
-
Hack a Derrick in effect. At least he made one.
-
Well got 1
-
Look at De make a free throw! Ok One of two.
-

100% Agreed. It's a very unselfish, hard-working group. Very reflective our new head coach.
Side-note, Wojo completely out-coached Tyndall today. Wojo kept making adjustments, and Tyndall just kept throwing his hands up at the refs. Think they will start missing Cuonzo anytime soon?
-
Hack a Derrick!!!
-
Need to put JJJ in for DeWil.
-
Don't be stubborn Wojo. Pull Derrick
-
Derrick Novak 1 for 2 ahhhhh.
Now they doing Hack a Derrick.
-
This is down right terrible coaching wojo
-
Why are we letting Derrick go to the line?
No clue, Wojo getting schooled by the other first year coach. His guys know who to foul.
-
This is down right terrible coaching wojo
Horrible coaching.
You gotta pull derrick at this point. Put JJJ in.
-
Surprised they didn't foul juan
-
Good job by Duane to hold the ball once he got it back. 2/2, young man has moxie.
-
Good to see them move De to the front court
-
Great job by Wojo and the team today.
-
"Terrible"
"Horrible"
Really?
-

If he keeps playing like this...... Hes going places.
-

Great job by Wojo and the team today.
This is why I love these threads!
-
"Done Deal" - I HEARD IT!
-
Duane chokes for 30!! Lol
-
When was the last time a Marquette player had 30 points in a game ?-(
Oh yeah... 8-)
-
Lol he gets another chance!!
-
This is why I love these threads!
I'm glad you noticed.
-
Well done, a fantastic last 35 minutes. Someone grab a hammer, let's bring the door home as a good luck charm.
When's the last time an MU freshman hit 30?
-
No clue, Wojo getting schooled by the other first year coach. His guys know who to foul.
Not sure if you're serious, but this is Donnie Tyndall's ninth 10th season as a head coach (10th 11th if you count JUCO).
-

If the game got closer, Wojo would have taken Derrick out like he did against Ga. Tech and sub him in for D.
-
Beautiful team effort. The team is improving on all counts.
-
Can dgies and I be two more good things about Tennessee?
I like that woman!
-
No clue, Wojo getting schooled by the other first year coach. His guys know who to foul.
Another candidate for dumbest post of the year.
We should have a tournament for those as well as the meme tournament.

Playing with Duane and Carlino makes Derrick so much better. Jake was an awful complaint because of his lack of dynamism while Todd just wasn't enough of a team oriented guy. Seems like Derrick is pretty much the same guy, but this system and these players compliment him much better.

Can dgies and I be two more good things about Tennessee?
Only if you buy me a beer next sat at the BC.

If the game got closer, Wojo would have taken Derrick out like he did against Ga. Tech and sub him in for D.
Agreed. We had enough of a cushion today, and after Derrick missed his second FT, Wojo also made a point of having Derrick inbound the ball. Allowed him to stay in for defense and as an emergency outlet on offense. If the game had gotten closer, I suspect JJJ would've come in.

Don't discount Derrick's improvement and newly found aggression. He is playing better as well as being in a better system to succeed.

Wojo says he got "overzealous" with a whiteboard and his hand went through it. Much better.

Yeah derrick can be a leader and quarterback of the team. With duane and carlino as the gunners it takes pressure off him. So his offense can be what it is. I like him in this role.

I could actually buy that.

More believable but my dad has broke his share of white boards in his day and never busted his hand.

Said he put it through into the wall, the cuts and scraps came from pulling it out too soon.

Agreed it looks way better. Now he's able to take care of the ball for a lot of the clock and not worry about ruining the whole possession because Carlino/Duane can either make a shot or make another pass to someone else.

Horrible coaching.
You gotta pull derrick at this point. Put JJJ in.
Wojo just proved why he's a coach and not posting on message boards. Says to Homer and Mac that Derrick brought up the fact that they were going to start fouling him and Wojo told him to walk to the line and make the shots. Says some guys need new attitudes and the "Derrick is going to make winning free throws" this year. That's a coach, not a simple number cruncher.

Ohhh that type of white board. I was thinking of the ones they carry around during games. Understandable then.

Love it.
Post of the year.

This was the first really decent game we played. Next week will be like the USA playing Russia in the 1980 Olympics. Do you believe in miracles!

He mentioned how there's a few guys that need their minds re-programmed a bit. I'm sure it's not a shot at Buzz on purpose, but I have to wonder how many guy's confidence was shot due to Buzz's mindgames.

Might have to wait awhile, he's coaching today and will watch the game on DVR.

I missed the radio postgame. Thank you for sharing, this is simple brilliance.

That's some great positive reinforcement. Like it. However, will be interesting to see when the rubber really hits the road and MU is up only 2 to 6 points in last minute of game - how Wojo chooses to handle that...the cushion today was pretty safe and allowed for a few of those misses.

That's what you learn being around Coach K for all those years.

Honestly, as much as this says about Wojo I think it says more about Derrick. It takes a lot to know your limitations and try to do what you think is best for everyone. For Wojo's part, that's some solid coaching. I like him more every day.
