Just watched the game on DVR. 5th grade practice ran long. Nobody has done this yet?
1. Duane is everything I hoped he would be last year.
2. Derrick had a good game. He didn't start, MU down big. Do the math.
3. A few forced 3's, but for the most part good shot selection with lots of basket attacking.
4. Scrap the man. Play the zone. Goes against all logic and every one of Wojo's instincts, but at least until Luke is back and in the flow, the zone has to be our base defense.
5. Rebounding. Eeewww. Will be a constant refrain.
6. Good team effort, lots of energy and passion even when it went poorly early. 3 games in 4 days playing 7 guys.
7. 90+ minutes, one turnover, Derrick in Florida. Haters gonna hate anyway.
8. 2-1 record with wins over an ACC school and an SEC school, while playing a B1G power tough. All any of us can ask. Take it, run. Savor it.
9. The switch to the zone and its success is changing my long term thoughts and goals for this team.
10. Wiscy next. Try to not get rolled or injured.
Administration behind Wojo and the team 100%. Awesome to see Lovell tweet after every game.
We rely soley on you for these lol
Weird. Was it commented on when Juan ran the baseline on an inbounds after a turnover, not a made basket, with no call? Also, was it noticed that Juan and Wojo were really unhappy with each other during the timeout when it got to 17-6?

Caught that too... I was surprised they didn't call anything as well as the announcers not commenting on it. Can't worry about it now.

Yes. Appeared Juan swore at Wojo. Wojo was asked about it post-game and just glazed over it. Heat of the moment thing, apparently.
Juan's idea to floor slap starting the second half, so it doesn't seem like it was indicative of some divide between player/coach.
10. Wiscy next. Try to not get rolled or injured.

We talked about storming the court. It has been agreed upon that if Wisconsin is number 1 and we're unranked it will be done. But since the rankings come out tomorrow and Kentucky will still be number 1 it's not gonna happen.

If MU wins, do it anyway. You will never regret it.
Actually Derrick did start. JJJ did not.
It was Duane, Derrick, Carlino, Juan and STJ at the opening tip.
I'm generally not a fan of storming the court. But with a new coach, a home loss to Omaha, and a rabidly cocky Badger fanbase, I'd be okay with it.
Though I'm never against acting like you've been there. The whole "beating Bucky is just what we do" sort of thing.
Just shrug and walk away when we beat #2 UW.
No need to rush the court vs. a team who would have lost to Oregon in the round of 32 last season, had Bucky not been playing in front of a sellout home crowd. They may be on top, and be all full of themselves right now...but we are coming for them.

Winner, winner. You are correct. The other guy did not look at his TV correctly.
Glad we won and glad for the team. But....we really had our ass habded to us on rebounds. had 18 offensive and we had 5. Not going to win much if that disparity happens too often.
I feel like Derrick is just better at coming off the bench. Like a Ben Gordon of sorts. He had great games when he was not starting.

BTW, I have no problem with Derrick playing in his current role. Duane is going to be on the floor 30+ minutes / game for the next 4 years. I'll leave how JJJ, Carlino and Derrick fill the rotation up to Wojo. It seems he has a good handle on things.

Amen! Overrated and un-athletic team. Get in their jocks, push at all opportunities and get a big and raucous crowd behind every MU run!!! MU wins at the end 75 to 71.
Thanks Tower for volunteering your thought. ;D
1. I missed Juan's words to Wojo, but judging by what I saw the rest of the game, I don't think that there's anything meaningful to be seen there. We've all said stuff, we've all blown off stuff later... no big deal.
2. Given the setting, there were no complaints on the beer menu.
3. If Fischer can average 10/5 or 5/10 a game, this team is going to hit a serious inflection point in a couple weeks.
4. That said, I'm now much more optimistic about the rest of the season; frankly, I'm willing to write off the first couple weeks of the season at this point, and I think the committee will, too, to some extent.
5. That's right... I said the C-word. Maybe it's because I like some things I saw this weekend. Maybe it's because I think Luke is going to be productive. Maybe it's because Wojo hasn't missed a tourney since his freshman year. Regardless, I may not be the first to lob out March optimism, but I'll probably the first to encourage the pessimists to bring it on.

Marquette isn't more talented. More athletic maybe, but let's get real here. UW is a deserved top 5 team in the country.
MU has to hit shots and not turn the ball over. But Bo is 100 times the coach that Tyndell is and well have a much better plan than Tennessee did. Good think UW has to deal with Duke and may be coming off a bit of a letdown.

I'm actually hoping wisconsin beats the piss out of Duke. That way they're riding high and overlook MU.
I don't think Marquette is more talented than the Badgers. But Marquette does have 6 top 100 players on their team. There is talent there for them to win many games.
As much as it turns my stomach, Wiscy deserves their accolades. They have a tough game coming up midweek and MU has a week to recover and prepare. I think Wiscy wins, I just want the same level of competitiveness/energy/passion/smart play/hustle/smart basketball that MU showed for 110 of the 120 minutes they played in Florida.

Hell I rushed the court when MU beat a pretty average Notre Dame team in 1989. I'm not afraid to admit that.

That's the benefit of playing well during the regular season and getting a high seed.
The only time I was on the court was at the Omni in Atlanta in 1977. Regret not droppin' the Fruit of the Looms and moonin' Curt Gowdy.
The Juan/Wojo sideline exchange was odd and the camera stayed with it... Juan clearly said F U to Wojo and then a huddle formed with Wojo on the outside doing nothing. Several players looked at Wojo to see his reaction but nothing while the camera was on them. I know heat of the action and all that but was a telling exchange.

Rebounding, ugh. Thankfully Juan continues to fight for boards (and Wojo will drop an F-bomb on him if he doesn't). 2 in 26 minutes from Taylor, 1 in 18 minutes from Burton is just not acceptable. Know we had some good transition activity from the guards, but still 1 in 35 minutes, 0 in 15 minutes, and 2 in 36 minutes are poor lines. But more important that the eFG was below 50% and not hitting 70% again.

Duane had more boards than Taylor and Burton combined. Thank God they missed a TON of shots (3-20 from 3). Hope Luke is a rebounder.
On the plus side, Derrick was good today and Duane was GREAT. If he was healthy last year we would have made the tourney. If he AND Vander were available we would have been damn good. Guards game.

I just watched it again. Original argument was between Juan and Derrick. Wojo went after Juan, at which point Juan mouthed something about, "that's not my man, FU." He got pulled away by STJ as the players tried to huddle. Juan actually then pushes Taylor's arm off of him. Dawson then talks to Juan to get him back in the huddle. I thought the most telling sign was after about 10 seconds, everyone, including Juan was back focused on Wojo. Really nothing and was over in 10 seconds.
We beat Wisconsin, that is definitely an appropriate storm the court scenario.
One observation that I will add is that Josh Richardson made my list of most hated players. Threw Juan to the ground on that rebound. Unnecessary and dirty play. Should have been a flagrant IMHO

Telling the coach FU is more than nothing!
It was shortly after the dustup that Juan fought his ass off to stay with a rebound and put it back in. Motivation.
Great to have the victory. We beat a team predicted to finish no. 13 in SEC, so while not huge, it is much improved over that Omaha and NJIT stretch. Our energy level allowed us to compete and win over the Vols, but Bucky will be a whole 'nother animal. Surely they will use Duke as a warm-up game to their Super Bowl Sat. at the BC.

I am not a storm-the-court proponent, but ... if our kids were to choose an occasion to storm the court, a win over our rival and #2 team in the country certainly would be one to choose.
Agree on Richardson. I was surprised it wasn't a flagrant. They'll call an accidental brush of the elbow across a guy's chin a flagrant, but not an intentional throw-down? Oy.

I taped the game so I revisited the exact play. Juan took an ill advised shot. Tennessee came back and scored. Wojo called timeout. As the players huddled you can see Derrick saying something to Juan. Juan then says to Derrick "it was one f'in jump shot!" Wojo barks something at Juan, who then yells to wojo "I'm allowed to f'in shoot!" Wojo screams something back, and then Steve Taylor grabs and pulls Juan away.
We then went on a tear and never looked back.
While my lip reading skills are universally know to be unparalleled (joke), it really wasn't hard to see what was said. The camera was right on Juan's face.

All this is good, it shows passion and intensity.
If, on the other hand, players were afraid to "do something" because they would incur the wrath of the coach, that would be a bad thing.

In regards to the court storming talk, the Bradley Center will never allow it to happen.
Barricades are placed in front of the student section a few minutes prior to the end of the game. Bradley Center ushers then line the back. One or two people may sneak out somewhere but a mass court storming will never happen.

It was never mentioned. I was very much unimpressed with Donnie Tyndall as a coach. They wanted Cuonzo gone and brought in this guy?
Happened on Vols side of half court. Steve wisely retreated to MU bench where Wojo was gathering some things. Players had to be separated for a minute or two but the Vol wanted a piece of Teve all the way to the locker room.
On Juan, Wojo was wired from the get go. On his ass all night to up his play and it did. Team is intense but Wojo yanks them and puts them back in with confidence.

In regards to the court storming talk, the Bradley Center will never allow it to happen.
Barricades are placed in front of the student section a few minutes prior to the end of the game. Bradley Center ushers then line the back. One or two people may sneak out somewhere but a mass court storming will never happen.
Winless Marquette could defeat #1 Wisconsin by 40 points and they would not allow a court storming.
I'm 85.6% positive that whoever underwrites the insurance for the BMO-BC has advised management that they should barricade & usher-line the student section after every game (with particular emphasis on the big games) with explicit instructions that if there is a "court storming" that their employees immediately abandon the line. If just one employee is hurt in the storm, there will be a workers comp lawsuit brought against the BC, and it's very likely that the BC is going to pay a jackpot that will make Potowatomi look bad because the plaintiff's attorney is going to bombard the jury with enough video evidence to demonstrate that "court storming" is the norm in these situations and therefore, the BC should have not instructed its employees to physically resist the
inevitable push of several thousand students.
Disclaimer: The foregoing is purely speculation. No student, fan or attendee of any BC event should base any action of their own in reliance upon the above.
