Actually, almost all of MU's offense is coming off situations in which they push the ball and draw a foul ... 16 points off free throws already.
Many of MU's turnovers are coming not when they push the ball, but when they settle into the halfcourt set (and when Wes gets shoved out of bounds). The longer MU stands around and passes around the perimeter, the more opportunities they're giving Mizzou to create a turnover. The problem isn't pushing the ball, the problem is a terrible half-court offense.

Agreed. Getting our butts whipped in the half court -- on both ends.

doesn' thelp that they are making circus shots and we cant make a layup

Keep taking it to the hole and they will keep fouling us. We are going to have 30 FTs in the second half

I've never seen Wesley get knocked to the ground so many times without it being a foul. That said, it isnt helping that we cant make layups. Ugh, come on Marquette!!

I think he has to sit Burke if we're going to play this style. He adds nothing in this kind of game.

Yes Pakuni, but it's leading to jailbreaks the other way, especially when we lose. We have no control on the game

Butler's bubble has burst a bit in Boise. But at least he's rebounding well.

ChicosBailBonds · « **Reply #33 on:** March 22, 2009, 05:41:00 PM »

Nice....patient, worked for a shot...got a open 3.

Hang in there!!

I think we may have to slow this one down. Cools us off, cools them off.

Limits the number of TOs and reduces the number of fastbreaks they can set.

And KEEP DRAWING THE FOULS!!!

This morning I watched a video of Golden Eagles ripping mountain goats off the mountain and making them fall to their death.

Our Golden Eagles today cannot even get a bunny.

What is up with that basket?!?!?!? Friggin' lid on it. Unreal.

Are we watching the same game?
Most of Mizzou's points have come in the half court. MU has done reasonably well slowing down their transition game. Mu has done a terrible job of guarding half court sets.
And making shots within three feet of the basket, unfortunately.

Wes is a tough SOB

Reminds me of Wade: "Fall down....get back up"

Pakuni · « **Reply #39 on:** March 22, 2009, 05:47:47 PM »

By the way, for those of you that don't recall Leo Lyons = Leo Criswell, who at one point seemed a good bet for Marquette, but then changed his mind (a couple times, maybe) and ended up at Mizzou.

Buzz has to sub James out of there right now.

ecompt · « **Reply #41 on:** March 22, 2009, 05:55:41 PM »

Dom's doing all he can, but he's got to come out. There's nothing there. He cannot leave his feet.

I still thin McNeal might have a shot at that NBA thingy

ChicosBailBonds · « **Reply #44 on:** March 22, 2009, 06:02:54 PM »

Buzz....great halftime adjustments.....keep spreading the floor

77ncaachamps · « **Reply #45 on:** March 22, 2009, 06:04:42 PM »

Here comes the double bonus soon!!!

DegenerateDish · « **Reply #46 on:** March 22, 2009, 06:06:54 PM »

Hopefully this outcome is different, but very reminiscent of the Nova BET game. Gotta give Buzz a lot of credit, great halftime adjustments today. Hopefully it's enough to pull it out in the end.

Louisville now down in their game.
