Fellas are gonna lick the Wildwethairywetcats today.
Big day for Ox and Dawson. Both go crazy!
GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!
At least Jim Burr is safely away in Providence.
Edit - Didn't notice the other thread on this topic.
SPOTTED: Todd Mayo smiling and laughing during warm ups. No update on slaps of five.
FIRE UP MARQUETTE
I'll say MU by 5. We'll see.
Were rockin pink today?
Croshere in green goes against the pink. Insensitive b/stard!
Austin croshere says we shouldn't even show up for the game, we have already lost.
Wow, didn't see how that was an offensive foul.
This team flat out cannot score with Derrick Wilson running the show.
Derrick get a haircut?
Nice start.
Fumble by Otule
Short miss by Jamil
TO
TO
Hate that 3 early in the shot clock.
How do you charge someone who is moving with you and who's feet are not set?
Put in Dawson!!!
Bad Jamil to start, and both Thomas and Wilson giving up 3's on the D end. Not a good start at all.
We Want Dawson.... lets not delay the inevitable.
Nice entry pass to Gardner. Usual rough start on offense but I think we're settling in and will play better this next stretch.
Nova is firing at will. Lets hope they don't shoot 50% and we settle into offense.
Steve!!!
How has Nova not fouled yet? They are all over us on D with hand check and chest bumps.
way to pick up a charge... Dawson!!!!

Bell's attempt to draw a foul on that jumper was a joke.
Where's Burr when you need him?
DAWSON FOR 3!!!!!!!!
Derrick couldn't do that in a season!
Have to tighten up on D - Nova is shooting 62% right now.
These guys just jack up jumpers everytime and make them.
unnatural carnal knowledge.
Offense looks obviously more fluid with Dawson. More space for everybody. Unfortunately, poor stretch of defense there.
Don't know why the delay in getting the ball down low to DG. He's one-on-one...FEED THE OX!
Ox back to missing the freebies?
Automatic ... quite possibly the most idiotic chant in sports.
Nice drive by Wilson!
LETS GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve!!!
Ox!!!!
Let's go!!!
MU is 2 for 6 from ft, terrible.
NOVA either makes a three or gets the long rebound. That has to change.
This is getting annoying.
At this point just stick 4 guys on the 3 point line and have 1 to rebound.
johnson?
Like hearing Wayne Laravee on the call
Worst modern day uni's ever!
Derrick wtf!!!
Really need to feed the post. Derrick missing mismatches all over the place
Bad Todd again so far today. Gives up 2 offensive boards and commits a dumb foul on a three.
What is buzz not seeing that everyone else is.
When Dawson was in the only possession we didn't score on was when he missed a good look.
With Derrick it's pass it around perimeter and jack up a 3. We are not nova!! We can't make 3s!!.
That surprises me. Derrick never did that when he played against Alaskan JV players.
And Derrick throws it away after three stagnant possessions. Gardner has no right taking a three, but ball is not moving.
More Taylor, less Otule, nice......
More Dawson, less D.Wil better happen soon......
No Juan, JJJ. Rotation shorter

Looks like Buzz wants this to be a grinder.
Jamil asleep on the back door
Nice to see Jake watch the ball roll right by him out of bounds...must save all his diving for practice.
We really got the short end of the stick with Jamail while nova got Bell.
these announcers need to go back over MU's players names... It's starting to bug me that they can't get them right.
Time for the high post with Steve.
Guess Bell is the opposing player who will have a career high against MU today.
Who's (not) guarding Bell?
Deonte Burton HAS NO DEFENSE.... Has hit the freshmen wall X 10
Burton lost on offense, lazy on defense.
Stop Bell, stop Nova.
Quote from: 77ncaachamps on January 25, 2014, 01:47:43 PM

Yeah, STJR for some reason is now called Johnson.
That foul just called on Dawson on the collision was called against the offensive player twice early in the game against MU. Refs need to call bumps instigated by the offense both ways.

Dancing Bear!?!
The Dancing Bear?
Who calls Gardner the dancing bear?
Laviree just said that
yikes, how do you miss that alley oop? And of course they get a 3 on the other end. geez....
3 point defense is just atrocious
Derrick, please make the layups.
Villanova has guys who can shoot. Marquette is feeding the ball into a blind guy in the post and throwing alley-oops to the worst offensive player in program history.
I really hate Arcidiacano, can't tell you why. Just pisses me off.
In what world is playing the final 3 minutes of the half with Derrick Chris and Jake.....a good idea?
That Taylor travel really turned it around. Otule block, then the to, MU down three. 30 to 27.
Lead to a NOVA three, then Derrick miss, another three. Ouch.
Their guards can shoot man.
Zoiks. That was quick. Need this last stop.
we do not ever defend the three even with the "elite defender" Derrick Wilson
Jake needs to sit - he just can't get a shot off against athletic opponents.
Quote from: Norm on January 25, 2014, 01:58:19 PM

If we're going to win this, we need Jamil Wilson to show some life in the 2nd half, see more Dawson and less D Wilson, feed the post constantly and get Nova into foul trouble.
Quote from: mileskishnish72 on January 25, 2014, 02:00:05 PM

Him playing is fine but if it's him Derrick and Chris together it's a disaster... And I'm being generous.
Jake has zero business playing a second against a team like this. Can't get off a shot, can't defend.
Disagree - can't recall a shot or a pass other than around the periphery. Defense suspicious as well.
If you can make an alley oop look that ugly, you belong on the bench, especially when your guy hits a 3 moments later and your know for playing tight D.
Good first half by Davante. Everyone else mediocre or worse. Burton the biggest disappointment.
Whats the word on anderson not playing?
id play Derrick and Dawson at the same time... Jake has no reason being on the floor today
Dion needs some instruction re: D.
NOVA is 47% with 7 for 16 from three.
MU is 52%, with 1 for 5 from three. MU has taken 7 less fg attempts
MU is 4 for 9 from ft (UGH)
NOVA leads rebounds 17 to 15, closer than I thought
Jake has 0 points, has not taken a shot and has 2 turnovers
DWil has 2 points, 1 for 3, 5 rebs., 3 assists, 2 tos(one ugly)
Dawson has 3 points, 1 for 4, 0 assists, 0 rebs, 0 tos.
No Anderson, no JJJ, limited Burton, limited Otule. Dawson played less than I thought.
Why not play Dawson at the 2 when Wilson is playing point?
Quote from: ecompt on January 25, 2014, 02:03:19 PM

Jake needs to have two plays called for him in the first cple minutes of the half to keep nova honest. Otherwise, no point having him in today.

Hhaha what?????
Nothing wrong with no Juan - he's looked like an intramural player the last five games or so.
a no brainer for Wright at half, they will double Gardner on the catch from here on out. Unless guys start hitting shots, or are even able to get shots off. I could also see some zone as well. We are going to need to get hot from outside in order to break ahead.

He is not an elite defender. That is Buzz BS. Our 3 point D has sucked all year.
As nyg showed with the stats the gameplan should be pretty simple.
Pound it down low and go to work. Hopefully the fts will be better too.
Nova literally only takes jumpers and are nothing special guarding down low.
Trying to play their game and taking jumpers leads to us getting pounded.

So sick of watching thomas and derrick struggle game after game

Marquette has a huge height advantage... feed ox
Wow 1/2 free throws! Buzz probably getting a hard on now.
Big third foul on Ochefu. Feed the post.
TV viewers, was that a bad call on Jamil?
Looks like Buzz is more comfortable with D Wilson than Dawson today.
Do we lead the nation in fouls on 3-pt attempts?
Quote from: JWags85 on January 25, 2014, 02:23:33 PM

Didnt look like contact. Jim Jackson said he leaned over him to much, wtf?
Johnson scores for MU.
Jim Jackson loves calling Taylor "johnson".
Looked like Diamond bout 5 rows behind MU bench.
What is Derrick's percentage on lay ups this year? I am betting its south of 33%
Touch fouls on the perimeter and loose on the inside, MY FAVORITE!!
That basket by Gardner was a real nice athletic move by him to get the hard pass from J Wilson and move around the defender. Good game so far by Gardner.
Taylor, missed lay up missed free throw, foul
Wow. Steve misses a bunny and now they score again.
But that was the right play. Just keep working it down low they cant stop it.
The Dancing Bear again???
Ox running it
Dancing Bear feeds the mayo!!!!
Basket and some extra mayo!!!!

Got it down to one! Time to give up back to back three pointers...
At least four times now our post players have established position and inexplicably D Wilson has refused to feed it in.
Gardner got bodied bad, jeez
Good TO by Buzz, settle them down and don't let Nova get too far ahead.
Nice "trap"
Dancing bear coming up huge today.
Down three, this game is ours for the taking.
Chris honestly sucks.
Give him the Juan treatment please.
Get Derrick out, now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Otule is 6-11, right?
How do you lose the dribble going down the lane with no one on you?
Lol Buzz has been pranking us all season with Derrick Wilson
Otule has no hands, need to make those to win a game. Then DWil loses ball, but MU has possession though, lucky. Can''t have these consecutive bad possessions.
some good stats for MU. shooting 57%. 14 assists. only 6 TO. 8-15 Ft though
Quote from: HaywardsHeroes32 on January 25, 2014, 02:41:05 PM

Yep, unless we need someone in the lane for interior defense, no value. We don't today.
Gotta get the rebounds!
8 for 15 fts hurts, as does 1 for 5 from three. But, Taylor, Otule and Jamil have missed four shots within two feet. That hurts....
Quote from: jesmu84 on January 25, 2014, 02:43:39 PM

Game over
Everyone saw that spurt that happened w d Wilson on the bench, right?
Just sayin
Jamil should be on the bench. He is giving us nothing. Not even looking to shoot. Most talented my a$$.
wtf...Dawson in for 30 seconds and Wilson right back in. Buzz has been mediocre at best as a coach this yr >:(
Nova getting away with a TON of body contact on D the last three possessions. I guess if you foul every time on D they'll only call some of them....
Being outhustled all over the court. Loose balls are getting away from us. Tale of the game
Now we're playing 3 on 5!
Nova: 11 Off REB > MU: 5 Off REB
Translated to more opportunities to score
Seriously. Give it to Ox every time.
By every time I literally mean every goddamn time we are on offense, give him the ball.
Give it to Gardner until they double him.
Get Mayo back in and Thomas out. Jake has not taken one shot........Mayo is 4 for 4.
Need to get a run going here.
Quote from: Norm on January 25, 2014, 02:46:53 PM

Louisville strategy
Nova: 9-22 3PT > MU: 1-5 3PT
Jake: 0 points. 2 TO. Out of his league.
Steve Taylor misses lay up (again), they miss, Dawson let's the ball come to him, fumbles it they get it back and score. Taylor misses lay up, mayo falls asleep on D, they score, down 9
good jump shot jamil. don't take it to the hoop or anything.
If they happen to miss a 3 they get the long rebound every fucking time.
Nice of Jamil to stop for the mid range jumper instead of taking it all the way to the rack for an easy bucket.
Big foul is right. Let's go ox.
Wilson stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil thinks he's a jump shooter. Someone tell him he's not
AUTO-MATIC !!!
miss 1 and 1 and they score within 3 seconds.
this game just not meant to be sadly.
The story of this game- does it end with us on a run so we lose by 1, or does it end with them on a run and we lose by 9?

Yup.
Who cares about running plays for him? You're building your offense around HIM?
Nova knows they don't have to worry about him.
Jamil driving to the hoop is a double-edged sword: it provides an athletic drive that could lead to an and-1 but it usually removes a weak side rebounder and an effective transition defender when he misses.
Running out of time here...
Keep feeding the blind guy in the post.
ball game.
Giving this one away. Completely giving it away. I'm not even that impressed with Nova honestly
Wow.
That is ball game after that bunny miss.
They have 26 3 pt attempts to our effin FIVE!
And thats how the cookie crumbles fellas
Dagger by Bell. Could be ball game. Especially after missed bunny by Otule. Archiandiando scores. Glad we just had Otule, Derrick, Jake and Jamil all on the floor the last couple minutes....
Can't make lay ups and don't deserve to win. Missed at least 4 this half
Nova Guards: 57 points
MU Guards: 15 points

Nova is not that impressive, we are missing bunnies and FTs to give it to them.
Most teams seasons are killed due to injuries.
Ours is killed because Chris and Derrick don't get injured.
Thats 8, 8 misses from like two feet. That with free throws is the ballgame. Nova does not miss those.

Thank god Derrick finally did SOMETHING. Game not over yet.
Down 11 and buzz is content to ride our starting PG AND SG who have combined for 1 basket on 3 shots.

Spot on. Either get him in position to
hit attempt some shots, or sub him. Not sure how Buzz has just gone back to letting it ride.
This MU team plays weak. All the loose balls are novas, spacing is real poor, no real leader, missed assignments. Such a difference from Buzzs past teams. novas pg is a heady player, start with that.
The Jake era should be over.
MU has not taken a three in second half, still 1 for 5. Nova has taken 27.
MU is 12 for 21 from ft, with two front end misses.
Jake still has not taken a shot.
No JJJ, Juan and very limited Burton/Dawson/Mayo in second half.
Why more Thomas and less Mayo very confusing.
Quote from: NickelDimer on January 25, 2014, 03:00:25 PM
Giving this one away. Completely giving it away. I'm not even that impressed with Nova honestly
I agree with the latter, but not the former. Even when we were down by 1 it feels like we're down 7 to 10 the entire game. Hard to give away something you never had. If we end up winning this it will be one of those games where I would say how is that possible....just as there have games in the past where we were leading 39 minutes and lost said the same thing.
Just feels like we're a step slow to rotate, to a rebound, to a loose ball all day long.
Quote from: Niv Berkowitz on January 25, 2014, 03:02:07 PM
In a honesty, for ALL of our collective bitching about JT, buzz isn't exactly setting him up for success.
Agreed. As was alluded to earlier, against a team like this, Buzz either needs to be calling plays (double screens, etc) that will get Jake open, or get Jake out of the game.

"Some guys have a nice assist to turnover ratio but they're not really creators"
Even Wayne Larrivee gets that.
Set play 3 pt attempt for jamil coming up.
But yeah, let's keep playing D. Wilson and sitting Dawson, because it's not like Dawson has EVER proved he can lead a team to a win.
Trying to get my mind of this debacle...

The entire game has been Nova building the lead to 9, MU cutting it down, only for Nova to build the lead back up.
But sure. Jackass
So far, Bell has 24, Hilliard has 20 and Archie has 9 points and 9 assists. Impressive
So it looks we need some deep shots to fall... Does Buzz keep DW in?
Jake finally shoots!!!1
and misses!!!!
Just showed Bell's highlight reel. Wasn't defended closely on any play, until someone stepped in too late...and it was a different person every time. Nice defensive scheme, captain.
Anyone else think that 3 was rushed by Thomas?
should be feeding Gardner, not taking 3's....

Under a minute to go and still dribbling into trouble, picking it up, and looking for the bailout.
Nova gifting a lot of chances here. Someone hit a goshdarn shot.

Christ! Damned if u dodned if u don't on this board I guess.
Was just stating that it came real quick in the shot clock, maybe wait 10 more seconds for a better shot.
Doesn't Jimmy Jackson these missed FTs by Nova late in the game are no more important than in the first few min
Mayooo! Huge three! One point game.

They all count 1 point each. Those missed earlier in the game would give a team a bigger lead. Those missed by MU earlier in the game are rather large right now.
They are all worth the same amount.
BANG
TODD MAYO SHOULD BE PLAYING ALL OF JAKE THOMAS'S MINUTES... ALL OF THEM
Not enough chances to chuck when you're 7-8.

OH NO, here comes the free throws.

TODD IS MY HERO
Amazing Todd.
lol that fan
O MY GOD.
Well, we just got a gift
I hate hate hate hate D Wilson.
Holy crap bad call - will take it. Don't think thy can over turn it though.
can you review it??
Nice job Steve Thomas!
Mass confusion and rejoicing in the BC
Talk about a bailout. Terrible call. Pathetic defense by "Lockdown" Derrick, blown by and "Steve Thomas" inside the circle.
what......the heck happened....
DWIL needs to go to church tonight and thank god that was a charge.
He got beat bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. Stellar defender, oh boy.

Game over.
You said this with about 5 min left.
Haven't you ever seen Buzz' team play???
so, is that charge the same as a charge at the beginning of the game?

They happen throughout a game. Bad calls early, middle, late game. Happened earlier in the game also, 2 points averted.....just that everyone notices it now because it is "dramatic" at the end of the game. Still two points either way.
Can we insert Dawson in Overtime.... Like against Georgetown....
Give him Hell Jay!!!
Who was defending on zchennault out of bounds?

Yup, earlier in the game it happened....wiped out 2 points. Is the charge late in the game worth 8 points or something...or still 2?
I know he's a college kid but man. I played better than him... And I'm Israeli!
MU misses 12 free throws, 8 misses within two feet, gives up a bunch of threes and gets to OT based on a bad call at end. Pretty awesome.
Mayo has 18 points and no turnovers and wow those free throws.....
Jake has no points and 3 turnovers. Now it is his time.
The way this game has gone makes me more UNIMPRESSED with Nova than it does make me IMPRESSED with MU.

D. Wilson is not a lock down defender. Time and again he was beat off the dribble including that last play. Bench him the rest of the year.
And for his efforts, mayo is on the bench to start OT.
Bottom line,these announcers like nova to win.
Does Derrick do anything good?
well, looks like butler. not gtown.
I love Wayne, but Gus & Raft would have been great today.

Offense/defense. Went right in for firs possession.
Put it in wrong thread, but Villanova is going to get all the calls in OT. The officials reviewed that play and know they screwed up.
Terrible TO.
Not a clue by Buzz playing Derrick. Don't ever want to hear again about his game changing and lock down D. He was beat off the dribble all game.
Jamil does not move to the ball when player needs him to give him the ball
Well, J Wilson fouled out. How about we try a lineup of Taylor, Gardner, Dawson, Mayo and Thomas?
Feed the ox
But yes, this game has shown Derrick Wilson is "an elite defender"
Quote from: Blueprint on January 25, 2014, 03:34:58 PM

Well, they never trailed....probably just going with what they are seeing. Pretty amazing that MU is in this position.
No MUer has more than TWO 3PT attempts.
DG has 4 fouls
#15 for Nova is taking the game over.
He's a damn good PG that Nova has....what a difference....create, shoot, make free throws.
Archie is just schooling DWil, just schooling.......
As long as Derricks playing 30 min.... we are not winning... close the thread....
AWFUL
I've heard of a make-up call, but make-up calls???? F*ck these refs

Crazy good. Playmaker, confident, finisher, shooter. Ice.
+1 consistently beat all game long, created nothing on offense

It also helps to be guarded by the dude with the defensive foot speed of a sloth

But can he dribble around, stalling the offense, then get stuck and wait for a bailout?
need a score here
DWil wasting time out on top.
Juan sighting
A Juan anderson sighting.....

Mayo was guarding him on both plays
Buzz sees in DW what Shallow Hal saw in that fatty
D Wil, Jake, Juan all in right now. Buzz is throwing in the towel.
Quote from: nyg on January 25, 2014, 03:39:32 PM

DWil isn't guarding him, which is why I don't think Buzz really thinks he's a lockdown defender.
Foul anyone other than archie
Scrappy kid...STOG for Nova
DWilson picks up his dribble early....uggh
finally a stop. no rebound. of course. defense has fallen apart in the 2nd half/OT
God damn I really miss having a good point guard watching this kid play. It's miserable watching a team without one.
Good d by Todd on that one.
Great D all for nothing
Dawson in OT?
Archie: 18 point, 11 assists, 0 turnovers
Dwil: 6 points, 7 assists, 3 turnovers

I figured Juan was in to foul. Surprised they played that possession out.
Quote from: warriorstrack on January 25, 2014, 03:45:19 PM
Dawson in OT?
Hasn't gotten off the bench, and I have no idea why.
Down 5 and scoring threat of de Wilson, Thomas and Juan Andersen. Good lord.
Jake Thomas + Derrick Wilson 74 Minutes, 6 points < John Dawson + Todd Mayo, 30 Minutes 21 Points....
NIT BOUND
NIT here we come.
No wonder Duane Wilson rumors starting, Buzz probably said DWil is my PG next year. Wow, Dawson sat almost entire second half.
I am not a fan of Derrick Wilson, but hard to pin this loss on him. Outhustled for most of the game, and very poor defensive rebounding the biggest problems in this game.
Huh. 9 points.
Fitting air all by DW at the buzzer
Nice decision Jaun. He's the same player he was when he first stepped on campus
When you are in Ozt and have DWil, Jake and Jusn on the floor, what do you expect?
Juan miss and d Wilson air all to end it. Great!

The fact that there is absolutely ZERO offense from the guard position (Mayo didn't show up til late) is the reason why we're destined for the NIT...
unless the confidence of this teams drops off a cliff.

He is what he is. It's on buzz for not realizing that. Was Dawson THAT bad in the first half?
Vander probably left cause he was told DWil and Jake were the guys
The NCAA selection committee doesn't care about close losses vs good teams, they care about wins. NIT bound.
Derrick, Juan, and Jake? Now we've gotten carried away and are playing 2 on 5.

I blame the coach for going with a PG that can't create off the dribble, can't penetrate, has one speed bringing the ball up and can't shoot.

I am by no means a defender of Derrick Wilson. I have repeatedly said that he kills us on offense. Today, we moved the ball around and scored well enough. We did not defend, and we got killed early on the defensive boards. He had 6 points and 7 assists today, which is a representative performance.

Nova Guards: 77 points. (30+20+20+7)
Eight less than ALL of MU's team (85).
Slightly off topic, but can we retire the "Automatic" chant for Gardner, please?

Well, he did shoot 11 for 14 from the line - 78% - which isn't that bad.
