Starters. Djo, buycks, crowder, butler, otule
WVU - Mitchell, jones, kilici, Bryant, flowers
That's not burr is it?
My god it is.
Chris came to play!
He was in KY yesterday, good God I hope not.
Ha ha. Huggy trying new tactic. Staying calm at timeout
Geez, Burr again? He did the KY-Louisville game yesterday too. 3rd game in 4 days for the old man. Not good.
9 to 0 and DJO had two break aways and should have passed to the middle.
First resulted in free throws, one missed and one lane violation
Second resulted in block, out of bounds and then missed shot.
Could have been 13 to 0.
BUT, a least we are the ones up and not have to dig out of usual hole.
HUggy goes to zone pretty quickly. Lets see how MU handles it.
DJO is a gunning today.......
WVU already has 4 3-pointers...
DJO has got to give it up on some of these drives...playing selfish
MU shooting 6 for 16 or 35% at 11 minute mark.
Zone is killing them, just had a shot clock violation AFTER a time out. Yuck
Like how MU handling the zone so far FWIW. Using Crowder and Butler in the high post, getting last year's ball movement with DJO, Buycks and Blue. Used Cadougan as the runner one on possession. As I say that, they just had a shot-clock violation.
Shot clock violations keep happening...last game we had a couple too. That can't happen
Get used to it guys, every team will play zone against us because we stink in cracking it.
Other than fat break points, offense very stagnant
We can run on this team. Push it!
Would like to see DG or Ewill a little here....
Edit- Fulce comes in
Buzz should have called TO after WVU got 4 straight points, not 7. He always waits too long to call a TO.

Yeah and they WVA goes on 7 to 0 run. Fulce pulled.
Missed free throws blow.
Boy this team has some bad streaks. Was up 11 to up 4 in less than a min
DJO needs to pick it up...What the heck is going on with the drops, and the forced plays...He needs to get it together
Otule looks lost today. 0-3 from the field, dropping passes, getting beat on the boards.

He has been like that all year.
Right now he is 2 for 8 from field, 3 for 5 on free throws (one front end miss) and 3 turnovers. PLUS those no passes on fast breaks when we were up 9 to 0, resulting in zero points.
Buycks and Crowder keeping MU up.
Buycks..playing his best ball at MU...

shouldn't there be a rule, like for truck drivers and jet pilots. Where's the NCAA when you need it.
Jimmy Butler..where are you??!!
Crowd needs to get off their butt and give the team a home court advantage of some variety..
Casey Mitchell can stroke it..some of those looks were perfectly defended...great offense will beat great defense..
OK, up at half, thats something new. Nice DJO shot at buzzer (where was that last game)
Defense on 3's is terrible, just terrible. Bryant and Mitchell killing MU.
9 to 0 to start game.
11 point lead at 4 minute mark.
Out rebounding WVA. NICE....
Buzz went nuclear with his substitutions today, could not keep up.
Butler has 0, yes 0 points. Yikes......
What's the plus/minus when Cadougan's in the game? minus 20?

Butler played the whole first half and didn't even register on the stat sheet. WVU took no free throws. 3 pointers helping WVU stay in the game, as well as going zone on MU. Marquette has to handle the zone better to pull this one out.
How can a guy with Butler's talent be so passive?
Same halftime score as Vandy. Let's get a different result.
4 fouls for MU in 1H vs. 8 for WVU; MU 7/9 from line and WVU 0/0. Burr will notice this and call us tight in 2H.
Considering Butler is still celebrating New Year's Eve by eating doughnuts, got to be happy with the slim lead at half.
Would be surprised if Buzz doesn't toss in Gardner middle 2nd half to try and tire out WVU coming off their travels.
Also, and I know this is crackpot theory, how about a little run for Jones and let him soften the zone? On the other end, go to a 1-3-1 to flummox WVU for the minute he's in the game or a soft box-and-1 on Mitchell (Blue) with Crowder on Jones. The rest of the 'Eers don't scare you. Bryant can't shoot well the entire game.
WVA 6 for 12 from 3.
MU 2 for 8 from 3.
Thats why it is close. WVA will continue to zone, so MU needs better outside shooting.
DJO...QUIT THE PUMP FAKE! IF YOU HAVE THE 3PT SHOT, TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Otule is a step behind today...late on everything..time for Gardner to get a turn?

He is hurting the team and has been all year. Never seen a downturn in a player like this.
Now watch, he'll hit like 4 3's in a row. Oh, he's on bench with 3 fouls.
Gardner is 2 steps behind at the donut shop
Fulce is the new Gardner. If Fulce is productive, I don't mind the 3 forward frontline
Now MU is getting outhustled. If they lose this, the season becomes a train wreck.
Apparently, having Buycks and DJO on the floor is a good thing. Cadougan with the TO and Blue with the dumb shot
Again this team has some shitty bad periods
So much for the depth everyone thought we would have. Seriously, outside of the starting five plus Blue, I'm not impressed with anyone.
I would say we need to contest the 3 better, but most of these are contested. They are just freakin heat checks.
Just in that 3-minute stint, Cadougan's plus/minus was minus 8.

Bryant is doing things we've never seen from him. Really good game.
Tucker and Mitchell have hit some tough 3's...they remind me of us last year..the 3 is just a back breaker. Crowder is playing off the charts...poor Jamil Jones..was at scorers table and play didn't stop for about 2 minutes..TV timeout comes..and he's back to the bench..
Thankfully Buycks is back in the game
Is there any way we can get a loose ball?
Quote from: Boone on January 01, 2011, 11:24:25 AM
Just in that 3-minute stint, Cadougan's plus/minus was minus 8.
So he will be the backup PG the rest of the year. 10-15 MPG. Another year to develop.
I'm sorry, but Gardner and Jones have to get some minutes. This team is in big trouble in the future if Cadougan, Gardner and Jones are all busts.
Seriously, at this point I would play Blue at point and bring Jones in at guard to spell Buycks. Junior does absolutely nothing at this point...Jamail could do no worse.
wide open 3 out of the timeout...ugh
Go Marquette. Let's win this one!!
Quote from: nomorebuycks on January 01, 2011, 11:30:12 AM
I'm sorry
Could have stopped there. Who can Gardner guard on WVU? You think they are lighting us up from 3 now.......

Clairvoyant at all?!
Junior shouldn't get back in this game...no matter how many guards foul out.
Cadougan thinks like a 1, Blue doesn't. You thought the offense was stagnant with Cadougan and Blue at guard, Blue/Jones would have been infinitely worse.

They can't guard the 3 now. None of the other MU big guys came to play today. He can always be immediately yanked, if necessary,
again, a defensive lapse after a timeout
terrible play from buycks
4 on Buycks. Winning every statistical battle except 3pt shooting. Up 25-17 on the boards.
MU is horrible after time outs...have been throughout Buzz's tenure. He should just leave them on the floor and not bring them over to talk.

It can't be worse. Junior can't guard anyone. I don't care if he thinks like a one. He can't defend and he can't shoot. He is a liability when he is on the floor.
Gardner could not do any worse than Otule.
Yes he can. You obviously haven't been watching this year
MU's season depends entirely on DJO.
Assuming the game comes down to the last possession, will the Warriors actually get off a shot? Alternatively, will someone trip and fall, step out of bounds, or throw the ball away?
Quote from: tower912 on January 01, 2011, 11:41:17 AM
So, did you hit for $242 million?
Waiting for the 300M on Tuesday.
But back to DJO, he goes insane and then makes you forget how he previously played.
Quote from: tower912 on January 01, 2011, 11:38:47 AM
Yes he can. You obviously haven't been watching this year
While I agree with u it does not mean he (DG) should not see the floor at all today
There is NO reason why Cadougan should have just helped off of his man (Tucker)..terrible...
Shooters shoot. Even when they are cold, they have to keep shooting. He didn't suddenly forget how to score. Just in a slump
Cadougan JUST blew a perfectly run play to free up DJO for a 3 from the left wing..awful..rewind if you can before the forced 3 DJO had to take
Junior needs this dev time.
Pissing another one away
THIS TEAM IS SO FRUSTRATING!
DJO just missed the game winner and wvu goes down to take the lead 73-74
NO REASON JUNIOR SHOULD STILL HAVE BEEN IN THE GAME...Buycks should have been brought back at least 2 minutes ago..
cyclops!
blue/djo is not a good combination either, watching DJO dribble off of his leg again.
DJO needs to come alive in crunch time
This is when Jim Burr takes over the game
good sub - fulce for Otule on offense
Quote from: mviale on January 01, 2011, 11:50:04 AM

Or clank the 1 & 1. Another great play by Jae. Now make the f'in FT
Alright Jimmy, proving time.
C'mon JFB, give us some space
At least we get to super bonus on next foul! Way to go JFB
Missed that second free throw, but great bound by JB.
Now hits two and ball game.
Let's hope this game helps with DJO's confidence (ignore those FTs at the end there DJO...)
So happy to see the Warriors win a close one. Finally.
Cadougan's a 1 who plays like a 0!
I see crowder getting interviewed by Fran. Someone please tell me what was said.
