Marquette favored by 3.5. "Biggest game of the year".
I think we get it done today. Marquette by 5.
We're gonna batter the Shaka out of the Rams.
Sam for early SOTG call.
GO Warriors!!!!!
So why is the championship game on ESPN2 but the semis are on ESPN?
Got my live stream all set up. Let's go get a W!
Anyone live?
Is WatchEspn the only way to stream this?
I'm live right meow... talking about howard and rowsey.
Lost the tip... game over ;)

Pics?
sounds like a TON of MU fans
Sounds like a home game.
Damn crowded stadium. Well traveled teams eh
Pressure! :-\
threes ;D
Already a turnover in the press. Hauser with a solid 3.
this press is gonna really be a challenge.
Brutal start. Need to get some intensity damn quick!
HOLY CRAP... we are screwed. wow
A bit rattled now
We look prepared.
Just gotta stop the long passes vs the press. It'll be fine.
Are they a three team?
No help on the press. Howard and Cheatham need to move up.
So how about that press...
Rows
Rowsey is a God.
How did marquette get the ball back after the 3?

VCU player stepped over the line while inbounding.
Let me quick say, I fuggin love my Maui Jim sunglasses.
4 turnovers already. we gotta knock this crap off quick.
Need to slow down a bit. Too many turnovers. Pudh it when you can, otherwise slow w up a little
Go after williams
Big play by Elliott.
Elliott is a pretty decent defender. Moves his feet really well.
Theo looking decent except bad foul.
Sacar needs to make his bunny layups for goodness sake.
Pretty glaring that Greg Elliot is bringing the ball up against the press with Howard in the game.
Wish I could have seen that Sacar drive.
There's Sacar!
Sacar The Answer Anim
Howard Floater!!!
Theo with another HUGE D stop
Sacar with another layup
Sacar, I apologize kinda.
So excited about Theo and GE
Coming in from the TO:
Jamal Cain
Howard,
Elliot
Theo
Sacar.
THIS SHOULD BE INTERESTING....
And right away a steal by Jamal Cain!
Theo didn't have control / can't be a travel.
Howard shot off right now, only 1-5 from the floor.
The Frosh look decent. Cain looking great above the rim.
Still need to cut down on the TO's

They turned over in the inbounds pass guess passer had one foot in?
A bit sloppy, and not just the turnovers. Shuffling feet and missing some good looks.

Newsie! Vino Roja or trabajo?
#THETHING by Rowsey!
One a game.
Massive foul. Gotta take advantage with Williams out.
We Are chant very audible in Maui.
Howard is definitely off... Maybe a few too many Mai Tai's last night?
But great Offensive rebound by Heldt, then the layup by heldt. Then Heldt takes the Charge!
sounds very nice...can we keep it "sounding" like this to the end.
And espn cut the feed during Rowsey inbound?
Looks like Malik Crowfield having a career game thus far for VCU.
Just can't seem to put them away...get it to 8 and it gets cut again.
Eye test tells me we are not hitting our normal amount of 3's.

You expected to put them away in the first half??
Homer mentioned the TO numbers...we have 9 they 11...we need to get better before they do.
I see the TOS are 11-9 when I turn game on.
Immediately watch Markus drive wild and sam throw it 40 feet out of bounds
Smh

Yes, getting into double digits(12-13), without their starting PG.
What is Markus doing???
We should be up 12-15 by now. A bit nervous that the lead isn't big enough.
Where dem cheatham haters at?
Solid play by Haney and Sacar.
Howard needs to find his shot yet today.
Elliott for Howard for this game? Or at least for the rest of the half.

Exactly this...especially with Williams being on the bench most of the half.
Good extra passes. Nice shot by jamal cain. Gotta make a few 3's from howard and we would be up quite nicely.
Quote from: fjm on November 20, 2017, 02:12:16 PM

Solid play by Haney and Sacar.
The that last and one was interesting. Great cut to the right, but seemed harder to shoot with his left from that angle. Still made it, and at least he can go left, but man he could use a right hand.

We must watch two different teams. A bit unrealistic based on the Maquette team I've seen
Sam has had a really poor game so far
Air ball on a free throw ;D
Dumb three attempt by Cheatham.
This is atrocious.
VCU is bad
Cheatam is a travesty
Hanie needs to grab some bench for a time...out of control.
2 Missed FT's, a terrible three attempt, and now a blocked layup..Haney responsible for last 5 pts.
Oye... for the figgen love of God. What a terrible 2 minutes by the whole team.
quick jam by Theo..... he's got some hops, hey?
Get a good lead, somebody does a bad play, vcu goes on a run =/
At times we look brilliant, at others just scatterbrained. Very schizophrenic game so far.
I know Rowsey's got a green light, but damn, he throws up some long shots on the break..
Terrible decision by Rowsey to jack that long three on the fast break with two guys ahead of him. WHole team needs to make better decisions in the 2nd half.
This is our best lineup right now.
Howard
Rowsey
Elliott
Sacar
Theo
Team has to be point shaving
Rowsey just pulled up from half court on a fast break

At least they got him out of there. He needs to be in that 10-15 per game Duane Wilson role to maximize effectiveness. He can play well in 3 minute stretches.
Great D stop... terrible 3 by rowsey...
then give up an +1... Solid. Damn it all
MU seems to pay for rushed/bad shots more then any team I have seen.
Another brilliant shot by Rowsey.
Up 1 at half
How was that rowsey shot not Goaltending?
Brew's right. We should be up 12-15. Instead we're lucky to have a lead at half.
That's the second time we've been screwed on a goaltending no-call this season.
Goaltend on Rowsey's last drive?

Internet is terrible not able to send attachment. No trabajo discovery of PR celebration. Drinking brother's Blond ale unable to send photo
VCU's point guard hardly plays and zero points. Mu leads by only one.
Howard played poorly, that last foul was bad. 2 for 8 from field, 0 for 4 from three.
Shot selection was well, less than adequate, especially Rowsey who is 3 for 8. Some of which very bad.
VCU is 6 for 12 from three, kept it close.
Cut turnovers, cut the terrible shot selection and get foul #4 early on Williams.
It's amazing we're actually up by 1 at the half with how poorly we've been playing
What's the 3 PT line....Aren't we supposed to be better? ?-(
Not a very impressive 1st half...I find it a bit concerning that so far, 3 games into the season Sam hasn't been as much of a factor offensively as I thought he would be.
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on November 20, 2017, 02:25:12 PM

Oh relax. He beat his man and had an open lane to the basket.
Quote from: NickelDimer on November 20, 2017, 02:28:20 PM
Goaltend on Rowsey's last drive?
Yes it was that guy even hit the backboard same time as the ball
Our frosh are looking pretty good.

Defensive player is allowed to hit backboard if going for the ball. If a ref deems he intentionally smacked backboard to cause hoop to shake, then it's a goaltend.
VCU 6/12 3 PT% MU at 31.5% only 5 makes.
Sam has been too quiet
Marquette thought... "man are we lucky they're playing bad..."
VCU thought... "man are we lucky they're playing bad..."
Howard and Cheatham with rough starts to the half so far.
Heldt is having a solid though quiet game.
Jeez, MU not hitting any threes, yet keep chuckin. Both baskets in half Are inside
Howard and Rowsey are 5 for 20 right now.
We got this
let's put them away now
Howard with his first 3. Maybe he will start to feel the heat a bit.
I really like what I see from the freshmen so far today. Big stage and their hustle is keeping us ahead.
Good sign with Howard heating up...great plays by Elliott too.
Feshmen!!!
My crush on GE grows every game
Greg Fuggin Elliot!
THEO FLIPPIN JOHN!
MARKUUUUS With a few 3s.
This looks decent and the Frosh look better than they have all season...
(Take this with a grain of salt as VCU goes on a 7-0 run now.....)
I'm am all aboard the Greg Elliott train. The kid can play!
Foremost i want the win...but I also want this to be the beginning of good things from the Frosh Class.
we look to last years Freshmen...and next year's freshmen...but this year's is making a statement.
What is it with bad starts after timeouts for MU? Seems to happen every time.
Need Sam to get it going.
Quote from: Norm on November 20, 2017, 02:59:24 PM

After the first time out we went on 12-0 run. It's just going to happen or not.
Need to burry this now.
That and 1 was not good.
Smart shots and we got this
Need a few D stops here boys... Allowing too many makes.
And now we are getting in a bad trend of giving up a bucket almost every trip VCU takes down court.
Heldt's rim protection leaves a lot to be desired
I can see why Tom Izzo wanted Greg Elliott. He has tons of upside.
They just cannot get up double digits and put this thing away.
Listening on radio is brutal.
FLOOOR SLAAAP!
Quote from: T-Bone on November 20, 2017, 03:08:17 PM
FLOOOR SLAAAP!
And they actually stopped them on that trip too!
I'm a little worried Sam won't go up with an offensive rebound right away. I really like what Theo brings to the table.
We need this one. Leading virtually the whole way, gotta finish this.
This is unreal
Glad Rowsey made that, but after what, 4 offensive boards, maybe slow it down?
Damn...their inability to get this to double digits is frustrating...they get it to 9, VCU answers every time. :-\
That offensive possesion. ALL THE REBOUNDS
Everytime we get up 9
We miss a 3 and let them go down an score.
Now we answer with a 3 on the 4th attempt then they hit another
Crazy
Rowsey is maddening
living and dying by the 3. Need to get some other offense somewhere.
Heldt with nice game.
VCU with NO FOULS this half!? WTF
Quote from: real chili 83 on November 20, 2017, 03:16:45 PM
Heldt with nice game.
He's done much better on Tillman. Unspectacular but solid.
Didn't think that was a moving screen.

That and the fact every time VCU drives to the basket MU fouls them.
Great possession, even with the miss. Need to bleed that clock.
We got this
The upside to VCU never fouling
Wasting a lot of clock for them to foul
Great second half. That's how you handle a must win situation. Bring on the Shockers.
That should have been flagrant.
OK, good enough!
Kinda wish Theo was on the floor when Tillman did that.
Tomorrow at 12:30CT....Most important game of the year ;)

Quote from: MUMountin on November 20, 2017, 04:09:39 PM
What happened?
Sam blocked a Tillman shot then took the ball away. Tillman pretty much punched at him from behind in frustration. Sam turned and got in his face but the refs totally missed the first shot from Tillman.
