Well, with no nickname or mascot, we're going with the Fighting Hot Dagos.
Hot Dago liver on the menu. Add some gardiniera and that's one heck of a samich. Nummy.
Bon appetite boys.
GO WARRIORS!!!!!
NM
Start time is......?
Must be 1:00, IPT.
I thought now ... stream not working
MarquetteMBB @MarquetteMBB 24m24 minutes ago
#mubb will be looking for its third win in about 45 minutes.
Which means closer to 1:30 CT
MarquetteMBB @MarquetteMBB 2m2 minutes ago
Same #mubb starters: @SwaggyDu1 @tra_carter @SandyCohenIII @Bigfishy40 @HENBA13
I believe game time is at 1:30. This 30 minute delay has been typical.
Game time.
We can't lose to a team with a guy named Dinca.
I am not diggin' the uni.
I'm diggin Traci Carter's nickname ... "engine"
Thomas introduces Carter as The Engine. Nice.

GET SOME! GO MU!
Yo, Dunks.
What is up with Vicenza's shorts? I feel like they're being blurred for some obscenity.
The Engine 5, Vicenza 0
Still getting unavailable >:(
Uniforms look like my a$$
Weird court. Got bus stop overhangs covering the benches, not really TV friendly markings, camera is up higher than desirable (probably to keep the overhangs from dominating the picture).
What a terrible feed today. Choppy, cuts in and out and blurry.
A non traditional Italian.
Georgetown beat Haukar by 10. NDSU beat them by 31...
Thomas said that Georgetown beat Haukar by 10. Think we can put to rest the worries that not beating them by 60 is anything to worry about. Whoever said they would probably a ~180 NCAA team might be pretty darn close.
I do like the international shot clock ...
24 seconds but on an offensive rebound, only 14 seconds (as you do not have to take the ball up court.)

NDSU for BE expansion!
That travel on JJ looked like a foul (Wojo thought so). Anyhoo, his three had much better form than anything he put up last yer.
These guys look like a somewhat weak opponent.

Like a rec league team. They said these guys are not in the top three Italian leagues. Sloppy game so far.
Brutal call.
The feed has settled down on my Roku. damn, Du is quick.
I agree this Italy team doesn't look very good.
Excellent half time show.
A mimed interview! ;)
I remembered the bathrooms in Italy not having a formal shower.. just a shower head and the water went everywhere on the floor... but these dudes still don't have air conditioning in their country?
I think I spotted Rocco Siffredi in the stands
My feed is good, no problems at all. Sound is the best of the three games so far.
This is hard to watch - sloppy. Getting physical. Hope nobody gets hurt!
Sacar will be very good.
A very sloppy game.
Back-to-back threes for Henry! "Engine checks back in."
I have heard of 3 guards, but we have been playing our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string power forwards.
Henry is a stud, hope he stays a while.
Soooo, what's everyone drinking today?
Diet 7-up here. Crisp and clean, with no caffeine.
The un-cola.
What's the score?
MU-57 Vicenza-37 at half.
Much like many of you, I couldn't be more impressed with the way Traci has run this team. Dude is looking to run (with his head up) all the time. He's had a few sloppy passes in the open court today, but the intentions were good. I had no idea he would be this ready to contribute and lead this early in the season summer.
Side note...if Detroit would've had the same protective barriers installed above the bench/scorer's table, there probably would've never been a Malice at the Palace.
Hope this half time show is at the BC this season
The Joker leaves it all on the hardwood
I'm digging this rap battle between athe guy who thought this was a 49ers game and the guy with a Joker basketball jersey.

Traci Carter with 11 points and a pair of assists at the break and Duane Wilson with seven points and six helpers. #mubb
"OOOOOOOOUUU!" - Thomas
freakin great.
"The Engine with a little shake 'n bake! Twistin' - Italian style!" - Thomas
"Clear the lane, here comes the Train."
"We have an Engine and a Train."
Digging this team.
Name changes to Thomas bring him to MU, hey!
What color shirts are the refs wearing. Lavender?
Only in Italy.
Oooooohhh.
Sacar will be a team captain in time.
JJJ showing better form on his shot.
We need to get Thomas on scoop.
Dunks over ladies in splits!!

Dang
young ref looks like pepper boy on SNL.... Say when.
Is that JJJ's 3rd or 4th travel call?
Wally with the MONSTER JAM!
Yowser.
Cameron look a lot like his father
Hey - it's the Golden Bear!
Wally's dunk

Did you notice the three guys in the red pants under the basket on the left? They are the firemen, required by the Italians at every event (sports, opera, symphony, etc.).
Saw them actually help a lady once who fell backwards down stairs at a symphony. They know how to use government resources.....
What's the alternative, sitting in the fire house?
Oh, BTW, the game was over the top, even saw a coach Ed Hickey triple lane fast break, don't ask.
We need to have Thomas announce a couple games for us this year.

What's wrong with Homer?
After the game, Wojo is presented with a trophy that looks like a bobblehead doll box by a woman dressed as Charles Barkley from the Dream Team, a woman dressed as Elvira, and someone in a tiger costume.

I tweeted that to Bilde and Broeker after the game yesterday. I love Homer -- but maybe if he or Jimmy Mac are on vacation or something.
Anyway, Mike made mention of the tweet today on the broadcast. Something about getting a lot of flack online. Hope they follow through on it!
I think Thomas lives in Denmark. Any of our guys playing there this year? I don't know much about the country except that during weekdays instead of soap operas like here in the states they broadcast raunchy porn.

I wish we had replays for those. Seems like he's been whistled for 6-8 of those this trip. I wonder if he'd be getting the same calls over here. Not complaining about the refs, I've actually liked them in general, but some of the calls we're seeing definitely look different than what we'd see here.

Georgetown beat Haukar by 10. NDSU beat them by 31...
Haukur was playing different players than what MU saw when they played NDSU. Probably back to the players MU saw when they played GTown today.
Just finished watching the game. This team stunk.
Still loving what I see from Anim. He just knows what he's supposed to do and where he's supposed to be. If I had it my way, him and Sandy would split the 3 spot.
JJJ took a big step back today. Not as much transition.
Duane looked like he was playing a bit too much hero ball today.
Carter looked good. A few forced passes but that's part of the learning curve playing point guard as a freshman. He'll be ready to go come BE play.
Hank is Hank. I'll go with King Henry rather than Train or Locomotive. But Thomas is right, he'll put the team on his back.
Luke is Luke. Just really solid. Thank you, Thomas, for having no control over your program.
Heldt isn't afraid to mix it up. He'll be really good by the time we need him to step into Luke's shoes.
Wally can will always give you a lot of energy.
Haniif...well, I expect him to be a lot like Sacar. Maybe won't show up a ton in the box score, but will be really valuable and know what to do and when to do it.
I'd like to party with Thomas sometime. He's money on the one liners, I bet you he pulls dime girls that'll make you hard as a viking shield.

It was actually North Dakota, a significantly worse team than North Dakota State.
Someone on here mentioned that Haukar played different players in their match against North Dakota. Wasn't sure if it was in jest or serious. Anyone know? EDIT: NVM, just saw Wades post
The Big East teams beating them by 7-10 and a team with no mascot beating them by 31 does seem confusing. North Dakota also played LSU Atletas and won by 12...though they were down 7 at halftime.

Thought the same thing. Refs call traveling very tight overseas. Still, it is a concern.
