Bullog liver on the menu today.
Burton, Jake, and DWil step up big time today.
12 point win. Convincingly.
GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!!
JJ not playing because of the ankle.....
Was he a game time decision?
I'm thinking a big game from Juan today.
Let's go get one!
Solid D, transition baskets, be fine from the line...
my three keys.
GO MU!
I'm on probation, so I'll be careful. Go Warriors! ND sucks!

Ouch. But good response
Sh1t. Burr.
I forgot how much I hate is announcer. DWil is a "slasher".
Looks like they've decided to give DG that shot from the top. Probably a good decision. Ox shouldn't rely on that one too often

Ha, just missed a 1 footer and got his own miss. "Scrappy play"
Lose the 'S', Mista Announcer.
If Chris is going to miss bunnies get him out.
Ox. And 1
Feed Ox all game.
We should run these guys out of the gym.

They should at least stop feeding him. Doubled immediately when he gets it and can't pass out.
DG seems to have developed a "Sky-Hook". Me likey. :)

agreed if we rebound reasonably well and stick to feeding Ox in the post we should be just fine.
That will eventually open up some jumpers for Jamil, Todd and Jake.(Jamil and Jake already got 1 great look each)

Yep. I love when we kick it out to DG and he steps into it...but not so much when DG is just dribbling around and shoots because they're giving him the cushion.

Nah there are a lot of games where he's smart enough not to shoot it at least.

3 layups already....
Nice steal by Derrick.
Dunham is the one we have to shut down.
If he doesn't go off from 3 things become a lot simpler on defense.
Well looky here gentlemen, good start by MU

Dawson with a quick TO and then a foul....
Now doubling hard on Ox
What in the world was Jamil thinking would happen with that shot?
Derrick Derrick Derrick!!!
Burrrrr it's getting cold, Does he follow Marquette?

At the game. First time at Hinkle - love the place. MU looking solid early.

MU should be able to exploit that double, they know it's coming.
Freshmen :-\
Announcer - lots of offense early here today.
At 12:00 mark, 16-10. Extrapolate that to 80 to 50 final. Huh?
Did this moron announcer just say that Jim burr was one of the best officials in the country?!?!

I like Derek - I just dont think driving to the basket makes you a slasher. I think of a slasher as someone like Vander or Todd, who can take it to the basket and finish strong (slam it home, switch hands and go to the other side if the rim etc). Derek just can't do that. Not enough of an athlete.
Right on Cue lol
Jamil is probably the laziest player in the league
Loved that inside out from Jamil to Davante to Jamil for the three
Quote from: HaywardsHeroes32 on January 18, 2014, 01:25:03 PM

He really is the second coming of Dwight Buycks...so good, but just a train wreck.
One of Derricks layups was a break away off the steal...great play, but that isn't being a slasher lol.
Now this is just blind love that is disturbing.
You are trying to defend his slashing honor?
Foul on Mayo was Bull pocky
Who is guarding Marshall? Cause it's not working
Gardner an absolute beast today!
Marshall owning us.
he scared me coming in.
We don't really have a guy capable of defending him. Ox needs to go punch for punch on the other end.

Got beat for like the 4th straight time but luckily Jake took the charge right after.

You're right. I already knew the answer anyway...if you aren't whining you have nothing to say.
BTW, outside of tomato face, who has said he's a slasher, or disagreed that he isn't a slasher?
Dawson with rought start. Starts with a bad entry pass turnover, then leaves Barlow wide open for 3 in order to double-team... Scouting report.

Don't know what "slashing honor" is.
I like seeing Derrick do well because I like to see MU do well...and because I'm tired of all the crap he takes here. Not blind love - admiration for a player who makes the most of what God gave him, and does whatever Buzz asks.

Yeah but you were upset when someone pointed out he isn't a slasher. That isn't an insult. Ox isn't a slasher.
It was just a point that the announcer has no idea what he's saying. Then when you said he has "3 layups" I showed how having lay ups doesn't prove anything. Based on the very nice break away steal.
We are making some awful passes today.

Dude, go back and read. One person said "How many layups does it take to be a slasher..." that was it. Not sure who all these blind love Derrick supporters are

And I said layups don't just determine you being a slasher.
Derricks pocket pick and layup involved ZERO slashing. But it was still a great play AND a layup.
How is this not blanantly clear?

That's because in Haywards' odd little basketball world,it is not ok to say anything positive about Derrik Wilson.
There goes the theory about Derrick being a good last second shooter, lol
Listening on the radio and Homer and Mac sound exactly like everyone on here when talking about Burr ::)

I didn't applaud the injury. Nice to have a guy out. It's not like he was being carted off on a stretcher or anything serious. he just went to the locker room early.

Found a great salsa last time I was in Milwaukee. Sonoran Salsa is the brand. Got it at Grasch's (sp?). Awesome stuff. Very fresh. Anyone try it?
Deonte having a bad game so far 0 pts 2 fouls. Wonder if he is trying too hard on D. Can't see the game following on radio broadcast.

Dawson with rought start. Starts with a bad entry pass turnover, then leaves Barlow wide open for 3 in order to double-team... Scouting report.
I'm sure Dawson WAS following the scouting report - doubling the post...as Buzz always wants to protect the paint first...Buzz didn't yank him after Barlow hit the 3 - and as short of leash as Dawson's been - tells me he played that possession to the scouting report. As for turnover..yep...forced a pass in to Davante...nonetheless, Dawson getting his 90 second stints of action...hard to do much in that time.
But, Derrick has played better this game - in my opinion playing his best game of the year actually - playing with far more aggression/tempo than he has been. Can live with the turnover he made when trying to push ball up the court to force the action...just want to see him play aggressively...which includes shooting 3's.

I must be one of the only ones happy with the switch to FOX. This is the first season in a while where I have been able to watch every single game on TV. Previous seasons games would be blacked out for random reasons (live no where near milwaukee) and be forced to watch them on the computer.
Only complaint this year is that I don't have CBSSN in HD.
The Oxtule lineup is hurting more than it is helping right now. Taking Ox away from the basket on a lot of possessions and Butler is backing into the paint. The one possession, it was just D. Wilson and Ox rotating back and forth across the top of the key and then D. Wilson putting up an awful shot from the corner because the shot clock was expiring. If Ox gets down low, we are scoring at a great rate whether it is him or another open look.

I disagree that it's hurting. We got off to another solid start today due to that.
You cannot go back to having Jamil with 4 guys who can't score well on there own. Adding Ox gives more options and opens things up.

I recognize the FOX deal is overall good from a dollars standpoint, but I miss ESPN3 as well. At least you could have SOME means to watch every game, even if it was just on your PC. With the new FOX deal, if the game isn't on Fox Sports or Fox on TV, I can't watch it. My cable provider (Verizon) isn't signed up with Fox Sports Go so I can't stream anything. I don't get CBSSN and frankly I'm not going to pay an extra $10 a month for two Marquette games.

If you take Ox away from the basket and keep him high, it blocks the lane for any type of dribble drive penetration. If Otule is out and Gardner is low, you can go inside and have a much higher percentage rate of scoring because of his playmaking ability from the post. If Otule is in, Ox has to play on top because Otule away from the basket really adds nothing except that hand off play which doesn't work because of our lack of shooters who can create space.
Nice to hear WE ARE MARQUETTE over the broadcast on the road
I agree with you but Otule is always going to start due to the tip and starting with defense.
Therefore you have to play them together to start games or you risk stagnant offense.
Ox went to work right away today and it opend drives for Derrick
Derrick with another nice floater off glass.
Another drive for DWil. Nice. Think I heard another slash reference there, though.
Todd needs to wake up. Derrick has looked solid. Deonte has as many fouls as minutes, can't have that. I'm not a fan of the Oxtule line-up. Gardner needs to be on the low block or the wide post. Can't do that with CO in the game. Plus, Gardner won't feed him from the high post.
Could Juan and Mayo have been any less effective that half?
THomas was there miles ahead of Woods. Charge not a block
Butler leaving a lot of points at the line.
These may be the most annoying announcers I have ever heard.
Derrick tried to force that pass too much.
Liked DWil hustle after that turnover.

I guess I just don't put much stock in winning the tip as a game changer and Otule's D is valuable, but in a game where the opponent has zero size, it isn't a must have, especially with Jamil guarding Butler's best player.
But if its working in spurts and getting good looks, I can't argue. Just looking at a few key possessions where it was an empty trip because Gardner was floating around the 3 line which is not where he needs to be and down the line it might not be the best offensive option.

Wilson Slashes to the hoop and scores again.
Nice!!! ox with pass to dwil in stride and easy layup again!!
10 for derrick.
Dang that 3 would have been huge by Jamil
Derrick made nice recovery and found him in stride.

I've never considered Derrick a slasher (and really still don't)...but you have to wonder how many times he needs to slash to the hoop before that changes.

Dwil with a nice cut, and a great seal by Otule to create that open lefty layup for him.
So who picked dwil as our high scorer?

I think he said one of the best. He's slipped, but the man has reffed some big games.
Tim Higgins called him the best ref that ever lived....one man's opinion.
16 Final Fours, and 7 national title games is nothing to sneeze at. That didn't happen on accident.
The issue is not that he used to be a good ref, or that he had a great resume. It's that he suck now. And considering that the only big east official that rivaled Burr's incompetence was Tim higgens, his opinion means very little. Burr is too old for the schedule that college officials keep.
disappointed we haven't really pulled away the last couple of minutes, that was our chance to really end this. I can see a run coming soon.
Havn't scored in a while.
Now they are hanging around.
I really like what Wilson is doing in this game. Style wise he is playing a lot like Junior last year. Being aggressive advancing the ball. On offense he is catching the ball ready to attack the rim, almost to the point of making the cut before he even gets the ball. I like this.
Too many offensive boards allowed
3 straight possessions with empty baskets when MU could be putting this away. O'tule goes out and gotta keep Ox down low.
Burton not looking like his normal self, early fouls seem to have got him out of rhythm.

Ox bailed out Todd right there.
That was huge by Ox
Nice job inside by Davante...and great board by Todd.
Here come the refs...

Probably one of the dumbest into commercial montage analysis I have ever heard
Their stats are very similar: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=400504536
Right now, the difference is due to the FTs: MU (8-9), BU (3-8).
MU needs stops and a run to put some distance from BU, or this game can be a disappointment for the GE.
I don't know if its that I don't really even listen to them, but I find it extremely difficult to get upset about announcers.
Love DWils rebounding- doesn't always get it, but he fights and gets good position.
We need to get Ox back in quick.
Hope todd and the bench can get going. Current box score for Todd, Burton and Dawson zero points, 1 RB, 2 TO and 4 fouls.
Man the offense looks awful.
Good charge by Derrick though.
Good block by Davante and hustle save by John!

How long has it been since we scored?????
Our defense is saving us. Our offense has completely disappeared
Thank lord for the defense right now.
No offensive combination is working right now.
Officials are really letting them be aggressive on D and on Offensive rebounds. That does not usually benefit the team that is winning.

Well, it was 40-28 at the first tv timeout with a bit over 15 minutes left. So, 7 or 8 minutes later, and 2 points.
Great hustle dawson.
Need to pound it into Davante...and have Todd or Jake hit one on a kick out...
Really need a hoop on this possession. Butler lost some of their momentum from that quick 6pt swing.

I've been watching probably 15 mins now, haven't seen either team score.
We are not even making good passes right now.
I've seen about 4 passes in last couple possession where guy receiving has had to reach way out just to get it.
Neither team scored between the last 2 tv timeouts. Zoiks.
Is it me or is this one of the most boring basketball games ever seen? Just terrible play.

Same true for Butler. They've turned up the defensive pressure big time. mU has not repsonded yet.
Jamil. Needed that.
If the game ends with this score, we win. So that's nice...
MU in trouble
This is just bad.
There you go again....
Clearly that timeout went better for them than it did for us
Juan should have taken that wide open 3 at the top of the key. We had to force a bad shot after that....
12 points this half...
This is difficult to watch.
Wtf Jake.
Travel by Barlow on the steal/break and a clear foul on Gardner's shot on the block. Leads to a significant turnaround.
Lets see how they adapt to this.
Thomas struggling.
Really, Jake? Really?
How many empty possessions did we have up 12?
Horrible. No offense...
When Jamil shoots the outside shot, NO rebounders inside.
Jamil needs to stay inside or around the basket.
Lol this team just cannot hold a lead
Not a single guy can make a shot.
Quit friggin jackin 3's.
Can't hit the water if we fell out of the boat right now
Now an awful free throw brick
Why are we shooting so many 3's?

As bad as outside shooting is, 2 reasonable contested layups...nothing.

Another lost for us ...we are not even a nit team lol wow
We were up 40 to 28, potential big 3 by Jamil, and they outscore us 20 to 5! Ugly!!!
I love MU, of course would love to see them in NCAA tournament, but this team would get blitzed. This is rough.
The only guy displaying any willingness or ability to attack the rim, is the guy who can't score. Very frustrating team to watch.
Can't remember enjoying watching a MU team less than this one in the last decade.
Perhaps we should have Deonte Burton in the game...at least a guy who can get a good look at the basket, or to the FT line...
Everyone other than Derrick and Gardner stinking it up today..
Jamil Wilson is the best worst leader ever.
Jake and Todd - our best 3-point shooters - are a combined 1-9 from three. Yikes!

Jake is 1 for 7, all threes. Mayo is 0 for 4, with 0 for 2 from three. Thats 1 for 11 from SG.
Don't beat anybody like that.
Not over, as ugly as it has been
We are shooting 29.6% from field. First half shot 40% is like Jekyll Hyde!

No go to guy and Butler is feeing it- not good
I have no idea what we can do to score right now.

pathetic, pathetic, pathetic in OT....
and the 12 point lead choke...
but wait, somebody will be here to say, the season is okay, i didn't expect to them to win on the road at 0 - 5 Butler....
Has Jamil thought about forcing Marshall to turn over his right shoulder just 1 time? He always shoots the hook going to the left with his left. Make the f'in guy go right.

Good recruiting Buzz, you offensive genius.
Mayo has a hell of a line today
When Derrick Wilson is tied as your 2nd leading scorer, you know the game's going to be an ugly loss.
If I was Davante right now I'd quit the team. A bunch of ball-holding, dumb shot taking guards and forwards who don't know how to execute good entry passes.
I was at the creighton/butler game on Tuesday. Butler had literally nothing and looked like a high school team in person. This is so sad it's almost funny.
Jamil is the opposite of clutch.
That was a great look...can't hit it
So terrible.
The big difference in this game is that when Bulter needs a bucket there guys have come through, contested or uncontested they made the shots they needed.
Our guys just can't make a shot. Fromm is 25% on the year from 3, but both times they needed a bucket he made it.
We shot 30% from the floor for the game.
Stick a fork in this season fellas we are DONE
Todd Mayo is as Inconsistent as they come.
Backs up a 19 point game with this...............
Cue the "we fought to the end" BS from Buzz. This team blows. Up 12 and they turn the ball over, D Wilson travels, stop looking inside, O'Tule 0fer from the floor. Just a crap show from the 15 min mark.
I'm not into hyperbole or being over emotional after a loss, but next year honestly can't get here soon enough. This team is not only not good, they're just not fun to watch or root for
This one is on me, apparently. MU up 42-36, I go out on a shooting, come back to find this. Mea Culpa
Last time Gardner scored?
12:54 in the 2nd.
NOTHING.
Win the BET or NIT.
No NCAAs this year.
Has Jim Burr made one call against Butler today?
Burr needs to retire. If anything call the double foul there...better yet no call.
Jim Burr with the dagger!
At least MU will get a high draft pick...
Marshall ate Jamil Wilsons Lunch
maybe now Buzz will install an offense?
Just switch to the Va Com game already. Save American the agony.
Burr sucks...but this loss is on MU's offense. Todd and Jake have killed us today....
There is no positive spin you can put on this game. We played an 0-5 team that played terribly for 30+ minutes, and we still lose. Trying hard to find a bright side.
Who the hell is Jake Powers/

Horrible loss.....
Butler scored more in a 5 minute OT period than MU did in the entire 20 minute second half.
Butler has scored more in OT than MU scored in the 2nd half.
Apparently the fat kid in pink thinks Gardner sucks.
How do you lose by double digits in an overtime game? Da fuh!?
Maybe we need to start a reverse stud of the game/bizarre stud of the game. The guy who contributes the most to the losses.
It took 42 minutes for this team to break 50 points.

This overtime was wayyyyy too long.
Shot 31% from the floor.4-23 from 3-pt.line.Can't shoot= can't win
The only thing keeping me same is the memory of how we came back after that terrible Todd Townshend led team and the 50 pt loss at Louisville. That and our sweet recruiting class(es).
This team has four guys that arguably shouldn't be ther too - Anderson, mayo, Thomas and Otule. Unreal.
Make 'em walk to DC.
None of those girls they showed at the end is getting laid tonight.
Mu was up 40 to 28 with 14 minutes to go.
MU outscored 41 to 17 since that point. That's 17 points in basically a full half (counting OT).
Butler was not a good team and this was a bad loss for the team.
They may suck at basketball, but unlikebale? really? is that not a bit much?

Very unlikeable group of players.
For as much as we all hate Burr, he didn't lose the game for us

Statistically? Not remotely close
I was think more in terms of total points. Up 12 and going to lose by 12. 24 point swing. If it is worse, lordy

Homer/Mac's whining about him on the radio was unbearable.

Hard to root for, how's that? Jamil plays like crap, pushes a guy out of bounds, Gardner often acts like a dumbass as well, Mayo plays with his head up his ass...terrible shots, settling for jumpers, getting outworked...they just lack the makeup and personality we've all grown accustomed to.

Sad to say, but OT was a gift and MU didn't want it.
This offense is sad.
Buzz may not have the players who could execute his plays but he has to change it up to give them the best chance to win.
I think it's time for a change with the assistant COs.

Agreed, but that guy is the biggest homer referee there is. You do not want him reffing if you are on the road.

This stands out pretty strong...

Quote3. 1/15/2011: Louisville 71, Marquette 70
Just three months into its existence, the KFC Yum! Center gained its first signature moment when Louisville pulled off the "Miracle on Main."
Marquette dominated the game for significant stretches and led by 18 points with just 5:36 to play. But the Golden Eagles unraveled during the game's final five mintues, making just two field goals during that span and throwing away several chances to secure a key victory over the 17th-ranked Cardinals.
Preston Knowles took advantage. The senior captain hit four extremely difficult 3-pointer in rapid succession to bring U of L to within one and then, with the defense focused solely on him, found a wide-open Kyle Kuric for the game-winning lay-up.
"That's one of the top-five comebacks," said Rick Pitino. "They outplayed us for the first 34 minutes. I'm really proud of these guys. I'm shaking. It happened so fast."

Unlikable from a basketball perspective is fair and not too harsh. Doesn't mean unlikable as people

Who the hell is Jake Powers/
I wish we did have a Jake Powers, sounds like a great player

Roseboro, Jamail Jones, Ferguson and Newbill must have been pretty bad to not have been able to play on this team. Good recruiting, Buzz.

+100000
Now everyone us starting to see what been saying for years. BUZZ SUCKS AT RECRUITING
Whether we would have been better off with Newbill instead of Wilson is a real question IMO.
One final aggravation - had Butler with 68 in the prediction contest and there was no way they would ever put up another shot with 6 seconds left. Jamil pushes the guy OOB and puts his hands up - what???? Not just for that, but he is getting on my short list of MU players that really piss me off.

You post one dumb thing as afropuff, then give it +1000 with dread. That's cute yo.
SIgh....scoopers are sad people after losses
What continues to baffle me is this is a group of players that contributed to a team that went to the Elite 8 last year and they play awful all year. It's so frustrating to watch them....

OK but Devante, O'Tule, mayo and Jamil sure as hell did. I mean split hairs there are some MAJOR contributors on the floor this year who have done little or nothing to will MU to a victory.
O'Tule looked terrible today. He shuffles his feet and misses gimmes. I know he's got a major obstacle to overcome, but honestly he looks worse this year.

The top 9 Guys in minutes played lead and play like freshmen...... they all look like frosh out there...

he should be on that short list. he is a terrible defender, plays soft ad inconsistent, and has frequent brain farts. Yet he is a 5th year senior.
