Need this to stay in first place. Tough venue for us. Wildcats are hairy wet cats.
Go Warriors!!!!!!!!

They gunna wait to start the game or put it on a different channel
Can see it on watch espn app at 7:05
Thought this game was gonna be at the Wachovia joint?
Old lady has hijacked TV downstairs. No wifi upstairs so no game thread for me. Have to keep the peace going with my liquor upstairs!
Why does Anderson think he is always allowed to shoot a 3 early?
And I actually haven't been able to find it on the app despite the ticker saying it's there
Detroit needs to accept the fact they fucking lost
Screw BracketBusters obligations. Uninteresting game between #18 and #27 targets to join the C-7 has been decided for 15 minutes.
Seriously Detroit?? You are down 11 and fouling with under a minute to go??

Anderson looks awful. Get him out of there, Buzz.
Two minutes in the game and MU has three turnovers already. Good grief.
Time for Juan to take a powder
make that 4 turnovers already. One point.
Great bricking fts and turning it over. What else is new.
D. Wilson in the game for 5 seconds, and a foul. Nothing new there.
Len Elmore and Mike Patrick...I think I'd prefer the clueless C-team announcing screw.
All about Villanova from elmore
And another foul from our future pg. Two in 30 seconds. Joke.
Derrick Wilson will not be the starting pt. guard next season
First team to 30 wins.
Seriously for road games is our pre game warmup shots......of alcohol? This crap is getting ridiculous
Sleep walkin' again to start the game
When people mute Elmore and Patrick, what do you listen to? As much as I want to hit the mute button, I cant sit in a silent room either.
I have a fever and the only prescription is more Gardner
Two fouls on Wilson
Blue passing it to NOVA guard
Junior out of control foul.
Get this bad spell out and lets go. Need this game bigtime.

He'd likely be the least talented starting point guard in the country.
As good as Blue is in transition, what makes Cadougan think it's a good idea to keep the ball there?
We've scored 4 points in 6 min and are down by 2. Wow

One of the teams will score 30 in the first half. If the fouls keep going as they are, Nova will score 30 from the line.
Junior is bad. Derrick is worse. Luckily Detroit save me from seeing Juan.

On the block
These first 8 minutes show why Vander should never ever ever be a point guard.
Lockett for president.
Wow that traveling call is BS. Great board by Lockett.
Seriously, I think this team needs to put its collective head in a bucket of ice during the player intros
What an awful game to watch so far, no flow at all.
Fortunately Nova can't shoot either. If either team plays even their usual game, the other is beat. Let's hope it's the Warriors.
Whose the worst so far. The list is legitametely 6 players to choose from.

Yep, they're 3-13 and 0-4 from three. Keeping us in it. With the foul trouble we need to go Georgetown style slow this half to stay in it.
Well the good news is they cant play any worse. It can only get better from here. Right?
I'm so sick of otule and DG fouling on hedging the screen 15+ feet from the hoop.
7 fouls and 7 turnovers in first nine minutes. Vander with 3 turnovers, two of which were passes to NOVA players.
NOVA playing man to man and MU is still throwing the ball around waiting for shot clock to go down. Strange, they do that against zones.
Cadugan is playing in slow motion. What has happened to his game???
Who the frack is Hilliard?
Jr! Stop shooting!
"Cadougsn has been the entire offense". I hope that wasn't positive
"Hilliard will knock down the three, that's two in a row!"
Seriously, this senile old man needs to retire.
LOL "Hilliard will knock down the three." "That was Mayo." Awesome shot by Todd.
Quote from: Lighthouse 84 on February 23, 2013, 05:30:29 PM
Jr! Stop shooting!
Why they were good shots, he was fouled on both of them and got 2 FT's out of it.
Now hillard gets credit for Mayos 3. This announcer is comical.
Hilliard for 3?
Mike patrick suuuuuuuux.
We are a better team without Cadugan. His game has gone totally sour.
Just awful announcers!!!!!!
Like everyone else. I want more Steve Taylor.
Junior is actually bad. Thank you Lockett.
Jr--that's a double team we all saw coming for 5 seconds.
It's painful to watch Cadugan with his high dribble, slow speed and bad passes.
At least Elmore knows the rules. When you fall down in front of a guy and he trips over you, it's a trip and a foul. Patrick just making things up, embarrassing himself.
Mike Partick literally has no clue what es saying.
We need extra Mayo!!

Yeah its tough to watch a pg, grab a rebound go coast to coast and make a beautiful assist.
Glad you're not the coach.
Whats up with Junior's wrist brace?
Our offense is at it's best when Jamil and/or Todd are engaged. Ride your horses buzz and play these guys with vander and ox
MU is up! Why is everyone so upset?
Mike Patrick is definitely showing his age and making Elmore sound with it
Junior is being paid off. Only reasonable explanation.
Airball a 12 footer? Must you suck so bad Junior?

Giving us great minutes and picking apart the defense. Great to see he didn't get frustrated after last game.

because he can't shoot tonight? He's 0 for his last 9.
We take these guys apart in 2nd half. Book it.
Quote from: We R Final Four on February 23, 2013, 05:44:31 PM
This!
Yeah, but is he hurt? Has a blue wrist band around thumb and maybe he shouldn't be shooting.
Love watching Taylor shoot that mid-range.
Great shot Sutton.
Holy hell, Patrick. Time to pull the plug.
Did Mike Patrick say "Sutton" when ST Jr hit that J? Can they replace him @ half?
Patrick didn't even know the reason for the review.
If Patrick says "He's being chased by De'Marco Farr...touchdown!" at any point this game, it might be time to put him in a home.
What are we doing? Put Mayo and all the bigs in, its such a slow game.
It's official. Taylor is now better than Otule.
Maybe changing the starting lineup could be in order
Thank you, Buzz, for the save. That possession was overdue for a turnover.
Again, another possession down to 34 seconds and chuck up. Just brutal
AFTER a timeout.
Put mayo in the fucking game.
Why the hell isn't Mayo in?? He's the only offense.
"outle calling for it in the pivot"
-mike patrick
??????? Where's the pivot?
Quote from: Knight Commission on February 23, 2013, 05:50:15 PM

Was on that possession...when you're 6'10" you don't reach down on a guy under the hoop. Taylor knew to stay up.
C'mon break the press. Every game you shouldn't be struggling.
NOVA is shooting 22% and MU losing. That is almost impossible.
Not the smartest play by the freshman there. Great play by Anderson though.
Nova is desperate to win this game as evidenced by how much complaining there fans are doing
Completely inexcusable to gve mayo on the bench when we are playing this bad.
I would really like to know what has happened to Cadugan. He can't dribble thru the press. He plays so slow that the whole game is slowed down. God, we really need a better point guard, like now, not next year.
Mike patrick has been against us all half.
Can Vander count? How many back court violations did he almost commit? The. The shot a/ 16 secs left. Dude is playing like a dummy today.
Cadougan is absolutely infuriating to watch. That's your starting SENIOR pg picking up his dribble behind halfcourt and letting the d trap him. Then after he lets Vander bring the ball up for him he shoots 20 footers with 25 on the clock
ANY team with a halfway decent press will end our dancing pronto.
At least we didn't completely collapse in the final minute. Hopefully Buzz can get the pressure figured out. If not, four timeouts remaining that might have to be spent to bail them out.
Get it across halfcourt.
Cadugan should sit out the second half. He is killing us.

Why hasnt Cadougan figured out the press? Every year it gives him issues.

Not completely, but we handled that last possession about as poorly as you can.

Watching HGTV crap she likes...But got to day she's going for a 2 hour ride next week to watch the ND game next week. National MU day!
Here you go, ugly:
MU
fg - 29%. Jr is 0 for 5, DG is 0 for 2, Otule is 0 for 2, Vander is 1 for 6.
Threes- 1 for 4
FTs - 7 for 10
Turnovers - 9
Fouls - 10 DG, Otule, both Wilsons with two each.
NOVA
shooting 27%
The third foul on Bell was huge for MU, since they were playing poorly.
Stop the lazy over the top passes on the trap.
Cut down turnovers and fouls.
Pick up #4 on Bell early.
Hopefully Buzz reams them like Seton Hall game and they come out to play.

Well at least this year he has some help bring it down. Don't know why but years past Buzz did not use help.
As far as the "why we're tied" number, it's rebounding again. 18-14 edge, with 6 offensive boards and only 2 ORs given up.
Quote from: GoldenZebra on February 23, 2013, 06:04:12 PM

What's frustrating is that he is making the exact same mistake every time - absolutely no court awareness. He just stops and waits for the double every single time.
And he never looks to pass to where the double came from - just lobs it cross court
Quote from: RichardShaw on February 23, 2013, 06:05:51 PM

You have to remember, breaking a full court trap is not a 1 person job. No one is responding properly to the trap, that is most often going to make the guy with the ball look the idiot.
Jr. will look really good at the Y in the Saturday morning league.
We are playing like a d3 team and still tied. Nova is playing so bad they are helping. See us going hard second half and beating these guys, Vander / Davante bring it on!!

No one is filling the space where the double came from. Someone has to be there to throw the pass.
Just savin' our "A" game for 'Cuse, aina?
Sorry, but, it's time to bench Cadugan and Otule. They hurt more than help the cause. If Cadugan plays any slower, we'll score 32 points for the game.
Damn Junior. Oh wait.
My god junior
Nice pass Jr.
#FreeTodd
I could see this goin' into OT
Gardner: "Let's fucking go man!"
Gardner is the answer to a win assuming someone can make the entry pass
Gotta get outta Philly with a W.
I thought it sounded more like vander yelling lets fucking go man
Wonder if Philly Coach is in the house?

Both the entry to half court an the entry to Gardner.

Wow davante. This may just be one of those games we hand over.
Holy s h I t
C'mon mike Patrick. Every time..
Even the floor is against us now.
Maybe Jr needs his eyes examined?
Let's get a run !!!!!
Miscue after miscue

His ally-oop pass was right on the money.
Junior's bad passing.
Offensive fouls.
Missed bunnies.
Missed free throws
Terrible fouls, too many fouls, too many stupid fouls.
Guess I was wrong with Buzz reaming them. Asleep at the wheel guys
Hey, Trevor Wilson just hit his second BE basket.
Trevor Wilson, what the what?
I was wondering how Derrick Wilson made a basket instead of crapping himself. Thankfully Mike Patrick clarified that it was actually Trevor Wilson.
Wait, who's Trevor Wilson?
'Cept the money was 5ft above the backboard
Dear god Mike Patrick is awful.
How many turnovers does it take to get Jr. on the bench? And keep him there.
Just when I thought the broadcast couldnt get worse, Lunardi comes in and wont shut up.

Lol--thinking the exact same thing. Whatever you 3 do, don't talk about the game right in front of you.
More Mayo, from now on
Winnif the BE is clearly more important to us fans than these players.
Cadougan made a perfect pass hahahaa
This game is stressing me out so hard. And I'm convinced the Nova fans are complete idiots. Keep chanting "AIRBALL" every time Junior touches the ball. Mouth-breathers.
Junior is playing as badly as he ever has, but he has to play because DWill is worse.
A week from today we will celebrate end of junio cadougans career. Sadly he will embarass us about 4 more times after that.
Junior sucks tonight. He deserves to have that changed at him. It's too hard to make lame pass or poor ball handler sing songy

Can't believe teams don't press us more. Junior is so slow against a press.
Junior is 1 for 5 from the field and has 5 turnovers. He is he difference so far in this game.
If we want to win the conference or go far in the tournament, we have to bench Cadugan; play more Mayo and let Vander handle the ball.
Quote from: ChuckyChip on February 23, 2013, 06:42:30 PM

He doesn't know player's names, numbers, or team. Let's not expect him to know the spread.
Go with the players that are showing heart and hustle
Not impressed with Nova, hope we have a great last 10 min
That's the best we could fucking draw up?
You can't script this crap. Seriously bench em all.
Why
Hilliard shows Jamil what happens when you don't get too unselfish.
We need better players
Time to strap it on
There are few Division I players who get less out of their talent than Jamil. Guy should be a star.
I'm done. Pray I'm just bad luck. We are dreadful.
What happens to Marquette's aggressive offense? It's completely missing. Is Buzz coaching or out of it?

The rap on him commin' out of high school was that he was lazy.
MU has the ability and players to make this happen, now would be a good to
time to show it
Hockey line change
You've got to foul or do something to get a deadball in that case, not start jacking up threes. Don't keep Blue out 2 1/2 minutes past the timeout.
I love Buzz but I am really annoyed with the substitutions tonight. I know it is nothing new but no one can get in any sense of flow everybody is standing around flat footed...no one is loose and in the flow.
Everyone on here like to jump on all the MU players. But Villanova is playing unbelievable D, we are playing below potential but they really brought it.
I get tired of MU being in a position to do great things, and always failing to get it done. Idk what it is, but when they have a chance to be "special" they spit the bit. Every single time.
Can I change my prediction board posting?
Can someone please make the announcers of MU games do a little research before they announce games? Is it too much to ask? Really? :-\

It's what I hate the most about us. This game is over.
Why does junior have a scholarship?!
Peed themselves again.
I won't like the outcome of this game, would like to meet them in BE tourney
Why does Anderson get any minutes? What does he give us that Taylor doesn't? Nothing.
Like Buzz says "We aren't very good"
We looked out of it from the get-go
This might help get Nova in tourney
A chance to win the BE title, and this is how you play?? Well done MU well done. Now they will lose to Cuse Monday, and that will be that. Once again, a chance to be "special" and fail to get it done. I'm tired of it.
Go from potential BE title, to almost out of a top 4 seed. Only MU, only MU. :-[

I think back-to-back sweet 16s was special.
Hate to say it, but, perhaps we have to wait til next year, because Cadugan and Otule stink.

We should schedule Nova at the AL.
Pretty much says it all
The road is tough. Regroup for Cuse.
The basketball IQ on this team is terribly low.
What a selfish shot by Cadougan at the end there. Why take the layup ?
Buzz should really look at starting line-up, might help

MU had 18 turnovers, NOVA had 10. The ball game.
Question now is will they continue poor play and win again. Cuse, ND, then Rutgers and St. Johns on the road.
I am comfortable with Rutgers, only reason they lost their leading scorer, but the others not at this point.
This one hurt bigtime.

Shocking loss! Yeah, right.
This one was written way before the tip. Nova needs a win for NCAA, playing in their high school gym (never won here), senior night. Anyone should have seen this was a probable loss, but winnable against this average Nova team. Press this team, play zone against them, guard the 3 and you probably beat this MU team when they're on the road.
Seems like Buzz was trying to force S. Taylor in the rotation too much tonight. Freshman got schooled by a Senior on several plays. Good learning experience for Steve.
Homer and Mac giving accolades to Junior and Steve?! Yeah, nice rebounding by Taylor, but defense suspect. Junior?! Good final 2 mins, that's about it.

I'm not. Your down 6. Take a three. What does 2 get you? He wanted to pad his stats. This team would be really good with a semi decent pg. I regret that I backed him up a week ago when people wanted blue as point guard. I can't wait till he's gone. I don't care Duane or Derrick is worse. I can't wait to never have to see that smug look on his face again after a stupid play.
You always take the easy points. If you can get a sure layup with only 2 sec off the clock you take it. You don't throw the ball around for the entire time hoping to get a good 3. He did exactly what a pg was suppose to do, go to the hope and get quick points.
Junior had a bad game. The press got to the team. The players as a whole have no idea where to go to relieve pressure. That forces bad plays and more TO's for the pg.
This board is unbearable. Villanova beat Syracuse and Louisville at home this season. They were favored. Marquette is still tied for second in the Big East with a chance (a very good one) to beat Syracuse on Monday. How is this a bad loss? How does this loss make you guys lose faith in this team?...This forum sucks.
Agree. Not worth arguing about that play. It was over anyway.

True 'dat! Lots of BEast regular season bball left this year. Not a bad loss, but this Nova team is going nowhere even if they get in the Tournament. They'd do well in the NIT if they keep the games at that gym.

Honestly, if it upsets you this much, perhaps you need to get a better perspective.
