Let's beat the Racers.....and the horse the horse they rode in on!!!!
Anyone for some horse liver tonight?
GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets see what MS has. This should be interesting.
I think we're going to have big defensive games from Van and Mayo.
Junior on Cannon. Thought it would be Vander.
Least MS has two fouls already.
1 for 5 and playing sloppy offensively. Defense awesome.
Vander being Vander... time for Mayo to step up.
Gotta get me a fro like that brother
get blue out of there...
another game like the last- 2 or 3 missed bunnies.
bad foul on the D end.
not doing the team any favors right now.
arrgh
Nice haiku
Vander missed two layups and made a terrible turnover.
Better get the offense going guys.
Nice defensive intensity and rebounding. Hope someone besides DJO can get into the flow offensively...don't know they can stop Gardner, but if we're pressured 30 feet from the basket he won't get the ball.
Out of country anyone have a link for the game? cbs.com wont stream it bc im out of geo-zone.
0 for 5 from three. Jeez, like watching a South Florida game.
We should be up by 40 right now.
We're gonna win. They can't penetrate our zone or board.
vander now at the point-
turns it over with a bad pass on a 2 on 1.
Wow Mayo from Vander playing then point. Then, Vander throws it away after a great stop.
Mayo out of slump.
Lets go guys, Stop the turnovers Vander.....Kiiling MU, just like Junior did in first half of Loserville game.
From what I've seen so far, MU's better than M St.... we just need to finish better. MU's missing easy chances.

The defense has been very good.
Shocked to see them so antsy on offense. Far too quick. Settle down and play your rhythm and good things should happen.
We just need to control Canaan.
Game over

You can try firstrowsports.eu. Not sure how much you are out of the country but a VPN is super helpful, you can choose an IP address in a bunch of locations worldwide. Never blocked. Try astrill.com
Blue wow
Blue wow again
Could see that charge four seconds before it happened.
Crowd isn't exactly hostile and a lot of empties - guessing the UK fans bought up all the tickets and are too busy pre-gaming.
Is it possible to play a worse 10 minutes than Vander has played?
PLEASE shitcan the offense that has Jamil as the point guard at the top of the key!!
Better have healthy lead in second before UK fans come
Need to finish at the rim, and not let Murray State hang around.

Give Jr. More time
stinking it up so far in nearly every aspect of the game.
c'mon guys.

Game over
Your kidding right? This has upset written all over if they play this way.
MS not beating MU, MU beating themselves.
Turnovers, missed open shots, missed layups, 30 second violations.
Only thing missing is foul problems.
First five minutes, MU offense in overdrive with sloppy turnovers. Next five minutes, MU offense not out of first gear with passive turnovers.
The kids are too amped right now. Even at half. Time to settle down. Thinking that will be good.
Lucky to still be in it with the way they are shooting
Both teams shooting about the same. Murray State fans probably saying the same thing.
ugh.
let's get to halftime quickly.
It's all good. Could be down by 20
Nyg, do you have some shooting stats?
.357 FG%
.2 3PT%
.5 FT5
Ugly
Gardner is shook. Crowder is off. Blue is terrible.
Things can be rectified in the break. I don't see MSU blowing this open so cut down the unforced errors and things could be positive.
Yes, even at halftime would be good. Then Buzz can ring them a new one.
Least turnovers have stopped. Wilson had 2 and Vander 3. Total five.
Shooting is just miserable though.
Rebounds are even, MS has 2 more turnovers, neither team shooting well from 3, both at about 35% FG shooting. This is an even game so far, both teams have made sloppy plays and missed open shots. If we "turn it on" in the 2nd half and MS does the same, I don't see the score changing much.

Murray is completely over playing. Need to go backdoor to the hoop.
We suck so far. Where's Crowder?
Backdoor's always good
Quote from: real chili 83 on March 17, 2012, 04:55:51 PM
Nyg, do you have some shooting stats?
32% from fg
20% from three. 2 for 10
Just brutal. Every single player is just not doing it. Mayo was until that last shot. OMG....
7 or 8 turnovers.
down by 5.
why are we playing this teams' game?
not a polished looking MU team out there right now.
MU appears flummoxed. Not handling the pressure out top and therefore cannot start sets consistently. Playing into MS's hands chucking stupid jumpshots. It would be nice if the refs allowed our players a place to land without calling everything a charge. Hopefully, they can stay within 5 @ half and get their act together in the 2nd.
This is a team that has played well from behind. I am worried about this game, because we look sloppy. That being said Jae has done nothing and that can only mean good things in the second half.
How many FT's have we shot? 2 or 3? That's a bad sign.
MU has only taken 2 free throws. Relying on jumpers and of course missing layups.
That has to be a season low.
That is good for momentum into the second half.
25 at the half. We couled petition the Big 10.

Jae has been a second half monster all year. It is now or never. I would not want to be in that locker room right now without earplugs.
Trust me, will we dine on horse liver in the 2nd half.
positives:
no foul trouble
ummmmmmm
no foul trouble
Quote from: 4everwarriors on March 17, 2012, 04:59:28 PM

Wow... thats a layup for you. Shame on me for leaving that one out there.
On a serious note a lot of no calls in the 1st half. I bet the refs now call everything in the second half.
Why does vander have so much trouble making lay ups
Got away with one at the end but we'll take it. Need to shoot better and get to the line. Take care of the ball and limit TOs.
Ox missed those two bunnies. Keep feeding him. He is hungry, and will not miss again.
We should be destroying them on the boards and we aren't - Gardner should not have 2 and 0 offensive with the minutes he got. Got to get to the hoop in the second half, taking two free throws is not our game.

He is setting up too far from the hoop. Not his shots.
DJO could audition for Dancin' With The Stars
Murray state is overplaying. This leaves driving lanes open. Let DJ go off on them.

Yes, but he can manuver on the dude with this the Artis Gilmore hairdo.

This is where Blue hurts.
Vander can really get to the rack but he loses his head once he knocks on the door. That's a missed opportunity for us.
Guys, we got this. Charles Barkley said we would win.
:D
Just missed way too much that half. Got to knock down more shots.
Murray is tough. This game has upset written all over it.
It is easy for Buzz at half...
Vander get your head out of your a#@ and play basketball. Jae relax and have fun. You do that and we will head to Phoenix next week and continue on this road.
From three:
DJO is 0 for 4
Jae is 0 for 4
Something has to give. A momentum flow. Thought it was when Mayo hit that first three, but then two staright turnovers. Man, did those hurt.

Ok I know we're the 3 seed but can people please stop talking about upset? I mean they have the best record in NCAA and ranked ahead with the home crowd. I know they play in a "mid-major" conference but this is a very tough game. Yesterday was a perfect example that so-called mid major teams can win and beat some of the best teams.
Vander just needs to dunk whenever he is within 5 feet of the hoop.
We got em just where we want em.

Agreed, but we are a much better team and it is frustrating to watch us play out of sorts.

Agreed. Murray is ranked higher and has been 90% of the season. Plus, they're playing at home.
It's not really an upset either way.

Never understand that statement!!! I would think we would want them 20 points down
SLOW DOWN PLEASE!!!!!
Vander Blue sucks big time.
DJO kaboom
Refs letting them play
Junior with a No-pass on 2 on 1
Vander misses layup
Vander blows layup
DJO blocked on layup
My godness gracious. Unreal Just unreal.
Murray has successfully sped MU up in both halves. Thought that would stop after the break. Doesn't bode well.
Quote from: kira67 on March 17, 2012, 05:27:49 PM
Vander Blue sucks big time.
Just makes bad decisions. Much less nervous when Mayo is out there instead.
Holy crap. Crowder's brother is HUGE
Jae's brother makes Devante' look slim.
Jamil's got to stop getting owned by 'fro dude.
Long way to go and not sure if we will win. But Jae seems ready to carry this team to Bourbon Street. Said get on my back and let's go at half

He makes the Sun seem slim
"32 in your program, number 1 in your heart." love it.
Okay, I take back what I said about being less nervous with Mayo in there.
Crowd advantage showing up for Murray State now. Need Mayo and Blue to make much smarter decisions for the remainder of the game.
If this squad wasn't so stupid in the advantage portion of the game today they'd have a comfortable lead.
The tight score is directly reflective of their poor decisions.
Anderson and Vander in, lose lead. Anderson looks lost.
Had a great spree there for awhile and thought they would make a run.
Where's DG?
Buzz knows you can't trade your timeouts in for points at the end, right? Guys were gassed there and he's waiting for the media timeout and putting Anderson in.
Tough game for DG to play in. Too fast for him.
Cripes, if the choice is Vander layup or giving up on the break, we seem better off giving up on the break and running the half court.
Vander again can't finish. 5 for 15 in half. I can't keep count of the fast break layups, chip shots missed.
Ten to go. Lets go guys
Vander simply did not make the trip to Louisville.
Murray can't fucking drop a shot and MU can't get a lead off that?? Silly fucking turnovers on the break.
Never have I seen a team screw up more 3 0n 1's than this.
I wish Jamil had been able to play today.
So many mt trips, and JWill is being outplayed
Jamil's just got to go to the hoop. His weak jumper is even weaker because he can't hit it.
Getting embarassed now. Two easy layups given up.
Wilson can't hit anything, wide open. Turnovers, what else?
Three minutes ago up four.
Still alot of time....
How does a team score only two goals in 19 possessions and remain in the game?
This team played with no brain for 35 minutes. Can they overcome that in the last five minutes?
Long way to go but it looks bad right now
It is fucking bull sh!t we have to play this team in their home state.
What does Buzz tell the guys? How can we turn this around?

Doesn't change the fact that this should be a fucking neutral court game.
Under 8 TO down 5. Let's see what you've got, boys. Personally I don't want anyone but a senior or OX taking any shots.
Keep it in Jae's and DJO's hands as much as possible. I don't know another way to get around the stupidity we've seen from others today.
Quote from: mileskishnish72 on March 17, 2012, 05:50:09 PM
Never have I seen a team screw up more 3 0n 1's than this.
Our fast break execution is horrendous. Everyone wants to tale it themselves and aren't even passing.
Vander (1 for 5, with 4 turnovers) basically assigned to the bench now and Wilson is 1 for 5 from field.
This game may come down to free throws.
Let me try this again... SLOW DOWN!!!!!
Here comes Ox
Can we make a fast break layup!
If DG makes the free throws, thus is able to get back on D, leave him in! Wilson owned on the glass yet again.
DG knows how to run the floor. Maybe he can teach some of the others?
JAE - BOTH WAYS!!!!
Jaeeeeee for 3 !!
POY
Different team with DG. Everybody plays better. Buzz knows what he is doing by saving DG for this timeframe.
Mmmmm.......liver........mmmmmmmm
Jae!!!!!!!!!!!!
don't jinx it real! =)
As Jae and the Ox go, we go...Lets fucking go boys! we fucking got this!!!!
This team drives me nuts..they could have done this all game
13-2 run, way to go guys! And Vandy fighting back against Bucky!
Still a lot of time left boys...play tough!
Quote from: Norm on March 17, 2012, 06:09:55 PM

No question.
Just be strong on our own back board.
Alot of time.....
Free throws.......That will be outcome.
Of course Jae just missed.
Quote from: real chili 83 on March 17, 2012, 06:06:50 PM
Mmmmm.......liver........mmmmmmmm
With or with out onions?
Banded nowhere to be found
Let's go Warriors!!!
If Mayo holds that, game over.
Eek.
Third time the charm....SLOW DOWN
Oh no. Mayo had a wide open pass for slam dunk and stolen. That would have been game.......
Mayo judgements are so bad...
Double bonus. That's good news.
Oh, Todd............no.
Lord Mayo has to pull that out. Just hit the FT's
Absolutely terrible decision making by Mayo. So bad he's been replaced by Blue.
DJO - all chin & shoulders!
Free throw time. Hit them and they win. No its and buts.
Longest minute ever.
Get Vander off the floor.. He hates FT's
We're going to Phoenix!!!
OK, we can start to celebrate.
Book the flights!!!!!
YEAHHHH BABY!!!!
WE ARE MARQUETEE!!!!!!!
Ball game.
Ugly 32 minutes, then DG comes in. What a difference. What a difference.
They played their hearts out the last eight minutes.
Lets hope Vander got bad game out of system.
Whew.......
Love the restraint from the guys instead of celebrating. They still have business.

We were definitely tight in the first half. Hopefully we can come out with some more swagger next game.
But YEAH BABY, SUCK IT KENTUCKY FANS,
Never a doubt...... ::)
Gosh but I do feel real good now! ;D
Gotta love it. Hope DG is ok. His knee didn't look good at the end
Give all the boys credit - they hit their free throws at the end. Great ugly victory.
On another note, these Racers were good. Earned their top 10 ranking.

Gardner coming in at the 4? minute mark was when we began our run. We'll need his offense.
Barkley was about to say "Warriors" but caught himself. Go ahead Chuck! :D
I've got to admit I have a man crush on Jae Crowder. I never thought he'd be this good!
Lot of Jae-love on CBS!
