Wow. It's early still, but they are not good.
MU up huge, DJO looks like he's at practice nailing these 3 pointers with no one within yards of him shooting.
GO Warriors

Of course it is because UWM is really bad..not that DJO has regained his form..actually as I watch..most of the 3's and shot's he's hit have been rather contested - at least as contested as we saw last year.
Facepalm.
Sorry to hurt your feelings....MU playing well...and UW-M is really bad. Does that help? Good grief you read into so much stuff.
UW-M's defense is terrible and those shots have not been contested. To our credit, we're moving the ball around well. Vander's 3 looked good, controlled actually, no double hitch.
Ners- what would the shark tank boys think?
Jeter makes adjustments....ok Buzz, your turn.
How can so many seats be empty? Wasn't this the game UW-M has been waiting for...getting MU on their floor? And, how come our local MU faithful have not filled those seats and taken over the arena?

Because this game isn't ALL THAT and never has been. Plus UW hyphen M wants MU fans to buy a few other games as well, as part of a package. Smart move by them, but I can understand a lot of MU fans saying stick it.
Our permimeter defense isn't great either. They had a lot of good looks.
They bundled ticket packages? I guess MU does that for the UW game as well. Still, seems like a lot of money to leave on the table for a program like UW-M as the arena is half empty.
I agree the game is not a big deal in Milwaukee, though. But, could be fun for MU fans to see them spank UW-M on their own floor
How could the point spread only be 7?

At this point the shark tank would be pretty happy, moderately buzzed, and thinking about who was going to get hazed back on North 16th at after bars.
Gotta love DJO..but as Chicos has let us all know - UWM is terrible and their defense on DJO has been terrible, and that's why he's making shots he couldn't make against the likes of Green Bay, South Dakota, Bucknell, and Prarie View.

Thanks for putting words in my mouth....that's not why he missed shots against those other teams, but if you want to play ventriloquist, by all means continue.
If you think UW-M was playing tight defense on DJO......4 of those were wide open. One was moderately contested. DJO looks good tonight, he's not pressing, his shot isn't as flat. Looks relaxed. Love it, hope to see more of it.
Yeah dawg....
Looking forward to Syracuse.
As for DJO, he got his stroke back. Nuff said.
We're shooting 67% right now....UW-M's defense is not good.
Jimmy is invisible
It doesn't help attendance that most MU students arent back from Thanksgiving yet. Walked past a couple of shuttles at the Annex, and there wasn't anybody waiting to get on or getting on
i dont like letting a team hang around like this
god our rebounding still sucks, regardless of the totals and numbers, so many times we should have ripped down boards where we look like not even making an effort!!!!!!
flirtin with disaster. i hate quoting molly hatchet

as i said in another post... terrible scheduling or brilliant depending for whom you are rooting as this game was never on the saturday after TG day in years past.
Our team has some issues, several of them. Not that they can't be worked out, but we are not up to speed right now. Something isn't quite right with these guys.

Now only up 6, wow. And it's not like this was some tough environment to play in, either.
Maybe MU just isn't very good....

4. Ugly. Otule. Idiot
or extremely inconsistent
so the timeout was used to set up freakin' Buycks for a 30 footer?
:51 -- This reminds me of Depaul last year
MU has too many stretches where they look completely lost. It has happened in pretty much every game so far this season. Obviously some stretches have been longer than others but they seem too talented to play such ugly, ugly basketball every time out.
But is MU really that talented?
And i'm sorry, but MU's rebounding is piss-poor. There is absolutely no excuse to be out hustled on the boards time and time again.
This year's MU squad may be the single worst rebounding team I've ever seen.
Crowder doesn't know how to play D tonight...jeez
Not sure MU has a real strength this year. Last year it was 3pt shooting...dang near everyone on the court could knock them down at a high percentage. I also thought we played much smarter last year.
I'm relatively impressed with UWM. They hit open shots, played solid defense in the second half, and didn't back down. It's been a fun game to watch, and I think MU has gotten something from it. If nothing else, DJO got his stroke back that Willie had said Buzz took away from him.

A team that hangs with Duke definitely has talent on their roster.
Disaster averted. Whew.
Every game is going to be an exciting...um...adventure. MU can play with anyone (see Duke) or lose to anyone (see Bucknell and UW-M as almosts). We are young...that type of inconsistency is typical and hopefully can stabilize over the season.

I see you made it home in time for the game. Guess what,MU is playing dumb basketball.

I completely agree and there's a reason for that.....of course if I state the obvious reason I'll be called all kinds of things.
We are playing extremely poor basketball...we will be schooled by a smart, traditional team with a few quality players if we don't get it together and soon. Very dumb basketball. It's difficult to watch. UW-m has no business on that court with our talent but dumb ball will allow any team to hang around.

You've stated tonight that we'll get destroyed by Wisconsin in another thread and now make reference to it above - so, would you please go on record and give us your analysis and prediction for the MU vs UW game? Thank you - but I know you'll come up with some as always lame excuse to NOT make your prediction...but by the sounds of everything you are posting tonight..I assume you believe we'll lose to UW by 15-20? I mean using words like "schooled" and "destroyed" don't imply losses by less than 15 in my book?
If we play like we did tonight, I'd say UW wins. But I'm confident we won't play like this because we KNOW we have to play much better in order to win that one.

Are you incapable of reading what I said? Let me put it in red for you since apparently you are.
"we will be schooled by a smart, traditional team with a few quality players
if we don't get it together and soon."
Do you know what "if" is? It's a conjunction. Do you know what a conjunction is and what follows a conjunction?
Let me help you with the other sentence I wrote...."Wisconsin will destroy us in two weeks
if we don't get our act together"
This might help you as well
http://www.youtube.com/v/mkO87mkgcNo
Now, do you understand? Hopefully you are not colorblind and can see what I actually said, which was not that Wisconsin would destroy us (end of sentence). There's a big "IF" in both statements, but of course you don't read that part. It's as if your decoder ring stops working. ::)
I'll make my prediction based on what I see in the next two games to see
IF "they get their act together \ get it together and soon".

Okay, you may as well just say Wisconsin because it's obvious you are talking about them. But why do you think they will be such a problem? I'm not saying they can't slow us down and compete, but what have they proven this year that indicates they are a threat? Struggle for 30 minutes with a bad Boston College team? Fail to score against Manhattan? Lose to UNLV? We may be down from where we were last year, but comparably, Bucky's in the toilet.

Still waiting....please provide some specifics on these numerous issues so Buzz can know what to do...
I was there. UWM was not that bad. They shot well from 3, and had some guys that could score in the clutch in the end of the game. I think this is the first of many hard fought wins for MU, and did not leave the gym feeling we played that bad.
Otule still is awful, and his late foul kept UWM alive in the final minute. Hopefully DJO can use this game to gain more confidence in his 3. Jimmy is the guy you want on the line at the end of the game. Vander needs to work on that shot, but his defense is top notch. Crowder needs more time to adjust if Buzz expects him to play out of position all year, but he is up to the challenge. Lastly, I want Gardner back, ASAP.

Finally some good analysis. Personally, I thought MU looked better in this game than it has all year, for longer stretches. UWM did play a great game, shot it well from the 3..and the kid Hill underneath is a very good back to the basket player. This is UWM's Super Bowl..we took their best shot..give them credit..they played a very good game. No need for MU fans to think the sky is falling, and not need to discredit the UWM team.
