Up 8 and Vander takes a wide open three and , OH MY GOD, two feet over basket.
Only bad thing though, they are hustling on boards.
Blue, arguably one of the worst shooters on the team, has no business shotting threes.
He was wide open in rhythm . . . He can make that shot.
Really? I think he is very weak offensively.
I agree that he is weak offensively . . . but a wide open in rhythm three is still a shot I'm ok with him taking.

Not me. He's not a shooter and has to know his role. Would you want Otule hoisting that up? I don't care if it was an open look.
His form is way off. He looks like he's pushing the ball from his chest. He shouldn't be taking those shots right now.
definitely a goaltend at the end of the half on Jae.
Can we finally keep our collective feet on the other team's throat in the second half?
Another last possession wasted. Why throw a pass to Otule, who can't catch the ball?
That non goaltending call was just terrible.
Could be an additional 4 points. Great job by MU on boards, shooting and not getting in foul trouble.
SU had Jackson and Jardine on bench, so MU needs to keep it going.
that was one dirty elbow.... errr nevermind
Why didn't Crowder have to take the intentional foul that was on Fab Melo?
terrible shot by odom. Attack the basket
Terrible shot by Vander. I know he's good on D but he's so limited on Oz.
And Blue charges. Take a seat, Vander.
De ja friggin vu... We are not playing uptempo. Playing terrible with this slow pace and we are going to let the other team back in the game.
Don't like the way things are going. Not again, please.
come on Buzz call a play during time outs. no double screens to free up a shooter or what
just pass the ball on the perimeter until time runs down and throw some desperation up.. I am getting tired of seeing this
Crowder has single handidly saved the momentum for this team twice with those and 1's
Vander is awful and i think this is the second game in a row DJO fouls a three point shooter
Vander Blue is going to be eviscerated on this board the next few days
I cannot watch any more. You know what is going to happen. Turnovers, missed layups, no rebounding, no defense.
Up 7 with 10 to go, tied at 8 minute mark.
The BC is like a graveyard.
I thought getting Jr. in was a good move, then he turned it over faster than even VB.
If you think it's quiet now, wait until our home NIT game against Fordham.
I don't know why but I really think we are winning this game. This team is going to respond, just watch....
Only if Syracuse chokes worse.
Is it just me, or does Crowder shoot his lay-ups really really hard off the backboard?

Only if DJO gets back. The offense is anemic, pass, pass, 3 seconds left, shoot.
our defense is tightening up
free throws
Blue is killing us.
PLEASE!!! don't give the ball to Blue

Another one this time Vander. What is with this?
Then an Otule miss layup.
DJO NOW....Buzz
Wow. Vander Blue is an offensive liability.

Another.....this time a Butler miracle. Good GOD.
The only thing tightening up is MU's collective throats.
Phantom foul on Jae.
Clutch shot by Jimmy! DJO time to come back in....

free throws
Start counting.
Buycks missed two.
Butler missed one
Crowder missed one
Nobody wants to take the shot
we just wasted 30 seconds passing the ball 4 feet outside the three point line. Thats not an offense
WTF!!! Why are we not working for shot with 10 seconds left in the clock?!?
Thank god JB bailed us out!
I can NOT handle another tough loss today.
Thank God for Jimmy!
THE BUTLER DOES IT AGAIN!
Does buzz know what to do with less than 3 mins or did jimmy (who just woke up) save him?

Butler has made two 34 second bombs to keep MU in game. Very nice. Huge possession here for MU
What a block!
OTULE = BALLS OF STEEL
Best play Otule has made in his career. And the biggest.
Alright boys lets hit those FT's down the stretch and close this out
What just happened to DJO!!!!!?!?!
Jimmy F*cking Butlrt!
Does Buzz get credit for that off the TO or was it a bested play?
THANK GOD!!!
Finally beat the Orange! Great win today.
GREAT call by Buzz in that time out. The top wing had to play DJO close. His play then isolated the bottom wing defender who had to either pick Otule or Butler. The defender chose Otule and Butler sank it.
We really need to understand how to run a play or something. A play should start running at the 15-10 second mark. I still see guys not moving and dribbling at half court with the clock under 10. THIS IS NOT GOOD. We got bailed out today with clutch/lucky shots
Finally got the Syracuse and second half collapse monkeys off our back. Some big shots by Butler and DJO at the end, consistency from Crowder the entire game, and some defensive stops in the second half for a change.
I'm stoked to see Chris get a HUGE play at the end. he works hard out there
Jimmy F-ing Butler, DJF-ingO, Chris O-F-ingTule, CLUTCH AT THE END.
Jae Crowder, a beast throughout.
Hot diggity damn.
Yippee...this is outstanding. ;D

Yeah... that Otule block was as important as DJO's or Butler's shots. It would be really nice if Otule and Gardner could play 30 minutes minimum every game so we can limit the "small ball" as much as possible (10 min a game max unless matchups dictate otherwise).

Besides the fact MU outrebounded a much larger Syracuse team (holding them 16.5 below their season average) and committed just 13 turnovers and held them to exactly their season average in points, I'd day you were dead on.
Too bad you missed the end of the game. It was fun to watch.
Where's Willie? I know I'm baiting. Can't help it.
Glad they won, Pakuni, but not sorry I missed it. I'm not going to let this team kick me in the groin again. I'm happy for you, though.
