O'Tule goes down, not Gardner. And Washington will not miss
Looks like a Big Apple Letdown

And Marquette can't hit. Sluggish start. DJO missed two open look 3's, they hit theirs. Out rebounding us on the glass early. Bench may need to light the fire. Mayo first one in (outside of Gardner for the injured Otule).
All of the Gardner fans are going to get their wish. I hope he can play lots of minutes.

WAY too early to proclaim that. A slow start, but we started slowly in Madison as well.
Blue kills me on offense. Make me eat crow dude.

If it's Flash...can't do it on the iPad or iPhone. (At least as far as I know).
Otule with sprained knee. Out for game. From twitter.
This game is a little too sloppy right now.
We miss way, way, way too many shots that should be automatic, including layups and fast breaks.
In a one-minute span against Washington, we missed two layups and a fast-break dunk.
Ouch!
That wasn't a flagrant foul.
Sloppy, but we're ahead. Mayo has tons of potential.
Quote from: ErickJD08 on December 06, 2011, 09:28:35 PM
That wasn't a flagrant foul.
Sure was. Slapped with both hands from behind. Almost looked like he was trying to push him. Never made an attempt for the ball, only the person.
I'm happy we are ahead after playing so sloppy.
I think Jamil Wilson is getting better with every game, love his energy tonight. He and Mayo are fantastic off the bench.
Definitely a flagrant imo, really didn't go for the ball at all. We couldn't finish very well in the first half and Blue needs to stop carrying the ball. Mayo looked good besides the two missed layups and nice to see Wilson a bit more aggressive in the offense. Nothing from Jae yet. I think Buzz will straighten things out for the second half.
DJO maddening and breathtaking in the same half....
the gents look sloppy....too many turnovers and some really quick shots. Defense started out atrocious and picked it up which, to me, directly translated to taking the lead.
Crowder needs to get it going. Surprised Anderson did not play more with CO out to give us some height and boards. Jamil Wilson just keeps getting better and having more impact. Mayo is such a scoring machine...not sure what happened with the missed dunk except he looked like he was in mid decision on how to do it.
MU should take control in the second half...hopefully....keep playing defense on the perimeter and hit the boards and we should be fine.
Junior not having the bounce back game I expected.
probably not surprising too have a bit of a kohl center hangover. Let's hope Buzz gives them a b-12 shot at halftime.
The good: up 3
Mayo, Gardner and J. Wilson picked it up
The bad: Vander started great, but two missed layups and has 4 TOs already
That Mayo miss was a 4 point turnaround. Another layup miss 2 points. Hope it doesn't come down to it.
Where is Jae Crowder the last two games.
To me, Washington played about as well as it could and MU played poorly ... yet still up 3 at halftime. I expect them to come out strong to start the 2nd half. We get the ball first.
Crowder lost his "junkyard dog-ness"
Seems to only want to follow the action and hit trailer 3's .
He has come up and hit the glass a few times but he needs to be in the paint using his strength not shying from it.
Injury to Chris looked bad - hope I'm wrong. Right now Junior can't stay with any of Washington's guards and Vander's a little out of control. Jae's been invisible.
On the plus side, DJO, Mayo, Davante and Jamil all looked solid.
Let's hope for good news on Chris (most important) and for a better overall second half.
DJO is on the front page of ESPN.com right now. Great pic.
How many turnovers does Vander have so far? I count 4, perhaps 5.
Turnovers were painful. Is it me or should Wilson play more. If neither PG provides offense them I'll take derrick's defense.
My first half thoughts are woeful might have been right. Give me some more jamil

Vander has 4 TO's at the half...yet even with those he still looks much improved over last year. This could be Jamil Wilson's game to make a significant step up/impact. Think it is clear to all of us by now that Mayo is going to be a huge force on this MU team.
Buzz has to get him involved; run a play
Crowder looks like he's lost his mojo tonight. Hope he breaks out of the funk. We need him.
Bad start here. Offensive boards, DJO stuffed. Missed short shots.
Ross and Gaddy have three fouls and playing. Wow.
every time I think DJO is pressing he pulls up and hits a money shot. Jae needs to get his mojo back but Jamil....wow, baby!
or stop shooting at least....
Right now he is struggling on both ends of the court. He d and rebounding have been poor this half as well. MU really needs him to get straightened out.
Seeing some decent D and a couple of boards but offensively, he's a non factor. Hope he gets it going.
He is 1 for 6 and none have been close. Got a feeling he is due. Soon
Todd & Jamil will see increased minutes as the season goes on!
I was just about to post something similar. He is taking shots out of the flow of the offense, and frankly his defense has been a problem. (So has Junior's BTW)
he is getting burned on his perimeter defense beyond the arc, too....C'mon predator...get it going!
terrible sequence there....bad shot....bounced around missed rebound....no call on a flop by Gardner and then missed boards as UW puts in a 3rd chance point. ouch.
MU maybe has withstood the run....tie it up with the fts and then take control of the game. Washington can score, no question, but their defense is atrocious and if MU stops shooting itself in the foot and also steps up on defense....game should go our way.

The flop by Gardner was really bad. Cost MU 2 points.
Need a turkey right now. Or better yet a dead badger husky (no Michael Vick).
Anyone think Buzz will have the boys working on some defense the next few practices....like intensely?
Washington gaining a lot of confidence against us. We are getting tested big time. This Wilcox dude is just raining 3's.

Five of last six UW baskets have been backdoor. Whoops, make that six of seven. Either layups or dunks.
Just terrible defense.
Our two JC's - Cadougan and Crowder - really have struggled with D today. Really struggled.
On the upside....helluva entertaining game.
Honestly, we will be lucky to win. The ball seems be not bounce our way and Washington is making a ton of really difficult shots.
Really too slow to play the 1 on this level.
Thank you!!!!
+ infinity!

Think both of the above illustrate Otule's value to the team..covers up a lot of deficiencies and this Ndyaie dude would be a non factor with Chris in the game...
If we are as good as our ranking, someone will step up. Who will it be? Jae?

Offensively, Jae is starting to heat. Defensively, he needs to stop trapping well above the arc. It has cost MU 6 points on 3 slams.
I feel a few DJO clutch shots coming on.....also, we are in the bonus and he can create shots (and contact) off the dribble.
did not really need a forced Jae 3 there
Great TO.
Is it just me or do you guys think cadougan is a non factor? He cannot keep anyone in front of him. Would rather have derek wilson with his stellar d in a game like this. We have enough guys that can contribute.
Quote from: murobrob on December 06, 2011, 10:27:28 PM

It was quick, not forced. Came in the flow. He can make those. Similar to the missed 3 by Mayo - he took it quick on the break, but he can make those.
Worst game by Junior that I can remember...wonder if more is going on in his head that is impacting him....just horribly forgettable night for him.

I thought the offense looked a little lost with him on the bench

I agree...I just wish he was making them tonight before letting it fly so quickly. UW's defense is not good....we can get better shots. Anyway, I agree that he can and does make those often.
Nice to see Otule in the huddle. Hop it's not as bad as feared.
Free throws boys......
Yikes, our head is not in this game.
Get Mayo in the freaking game...Jesus...
Jamil Wilson really made a bad decision on that last putback. From where the shot came, no need to rotate around to the front of the hoop.
Why is Mayo not in the game? Get Junior out..and Mayo in...Mayo can play the point...and is a better defender and shooter...
Giving up way too many offensive f-ing boards
Free throws boys.......
Two misses by Gardner and one by DJO.
Now UW has last shot. Not again
HUGE missed FT by DJO. Now need to win it with the D.
Why does buzz have junior in!? Especially at this point of the game?
Jae!!!! Bout time!!!!
CHOWDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
frackin wow. Not pretty and not our best....but, give kudos to Washington as they played a fantastic game and worked hard as hell on the boards and all night. Also, great experience for MU to win a close one like that in non-conference play.....deep breath....another sip of scotch....set the alarm clock...wake up with a smile.

Sometimes, barely, I am right.
What a second half for him.
Last shot was like Butler's against St. John's .
Nice......
almost killed me. solid washington team. they will be very good at the end of the year
If you believe we are as good as our ranking.....good teams find a way to win bad/tough games. Come selection time, it will simply be another W.
Question: who does Washington play next? Dickie V didn't mention it enough...14 times just wasn't enough to stick.
Just watched replay of Crowder's shot. Man, Wilson was wide open under the basket. No one within five feet of him. Didn't see that live.

Absolutely spot on. The entire complexion of that game would likely have been different with Chris. Fewer offensive rebounds, fewer back door layups/dunks.
I hope he is ok because you just witnessed what the defense will be like without him when we play athletic teams that attack the basket.
I'm looking for whatever I can, but the fact that he was up and walking around without crutches (even precautionary) at the end of the game is probably a good sign. Still might be out for a bit but much better than the alternative. Still, I'll be anxious until we hear an official diagnosis.

Yep. I commented on that in another thread. Crowder could have shot or passed. If he misses, Wilson is there for the put back. They must have put everyone on Cadougan.

I was already watching and hoping it wasn't a big rebound cause Jamil had the putback. Sprang from my seat when it went in!
Let's hope Chris is ok and it's just a mild sprain. 23 days until Vandy, we have the talent to win until then if Jae/Gardner/Wilson/Anderson can play tough inside. Didn't think it looked like a bad spain or tear and they were very quick to call it a sprain without hinting it could be worse, I'll take that as a good sign.
