Wearing the baby blues today.
Let's do this!
Harry coming out of the locker room five minutes later than everyone else and not looking happy. I wonder what that's about.
He had taken Xavier and given the points.
In Australia, they frown when they're happy and smile when they're upset.
Biggest game of the season.
Let's play like Warriors for 40 minutes this afternoon.
Ya beat me to it
This is the most important game in the history of the program.
Get it, Warriors. Fly Eagles fly!

This game will determine whether millions will live, or millions will die.
No one gets called for cheaper fouls than TJ

It's weird to hear "first foul on Markus". It seems like he starts every game with 2
Will hit a 3 eventually. Statistically speaking.

There's the second foul.
I hate refs

Not lately, its been #2 which just happened. every...single...game...., someone is in trouble and the opposition starts bonus with like 10 minutes left.
Hard to see the second foul there on Markus. Can we get a home ref advantage and get the benefit of a call once in a while?

It seems like MU has a run of 15 straight made 3's every game...
3 minutes in we sub 3 guys!!?? Stupid

But good result, changed the pace of play.
Georgetown doing a nice job of running MU off the 3 pt line.
Nice to see Jamal go to the hoop like that. He needs to keep stepping up each game.
Pretty ugly so far. Georgetown's length seems to be really impacting the 3 point shooting.
Heldt getting a lot of run so far.

No it didnt no scorers
Stayed at 6-4 for the whole time
Cain gonna be so damn nice
Cain. Is. Able.
Jamal skying for boards, knocking down shots. He's gonna be good.
Should have been GT Ball out of bounds before the foul
The students are in session? Is that what the announcer said? I better tell my kid to get back to school because we thought school starts on the 16th. :D
Two straight weak foul calls against MU. Liked the Bronx cheer when a foul was called against Georgetown.
Theo made 1 free throw at least
Refs got the other team in the bonus again.
Yikes on Cain that time

Bill Raftery dropped that nugget in the broadcast against Xavier.
Howard was wide open at the top of the key and Sacar didn't see him

Haha did he? Wonder if he stole it from The Program like I did!
Butler up 11 on Nova in the second half.
This is like watching a 0-0 soccer game...or a Wisconsin Badger men's basketball game...
Howard. Ugh
A floater expedition. Thanks, Dickie.
I absolutely love Sam's game
Quote from: tower912 on December 30, 2017, 04:16:30 PM

Could possibly be the greatest shooting game I've ever seen
Butler had guys ive never heard of cashing 40 footers.
Hopefully we get one of those games soon
Dickie with a sports analogy for everything in life
Markus finally with a sweet looking 3
Then Theo...
And then Theo fouls Rowsey at the buzzer...

Let's hope that gets M2N going.
Are the baby blues our "play defense" uniforms?
Hoyas down to one time out
Georgetown is not very good, poor guard play.
12 of their 27 points from free throw line. ALMOST HALF......
10 fouls for MU and 4 for Georgetown. Can't blame refs every game, because thats what it is every game.
14 turnovers and MU only up 7. This should be a double digit point lead with opposition having 14 turnovers.
Just too many fouls and Theo John with just a stupid foul.
MU missed maybe five baskets within few feet and something wrong with Markus last two and half games. Maybe that made 3 will get him back.
Georgetown isn't giving us much room for threes. Hopefully we can get some screens to open up some shots.....not that the 2s aren't getting it done.
I really liked the play we executed pre-half for the the Marcus three.
But it was followed up by a real foolish foul by Theo.....
Nova shooting 48%
And down by 20
Reminds me of the georgia game
Should be killing this team. Froling needs to earn some time n not have it given to him he does nothing to this point.
Should be up 15-20
Hopefully, they can have a significantly better second half, ugly ugly ugly.
Wait, we have to play defense immediately when the 2nd half starts?
Froling in the dog house?
Difference in this game is not finishing at close range. We're defending well, forcing turnovers and not forcing 3's which they're taking away. Just need to those close range shots to fall
That was a charge on the last play. Sacar was 2 feet I front of the circle and set before the guy left his feet.
Yeah, Georgetown going inside now. This could turn into a foul feast. If MU makes any of their three footers or floaters, this is a blowout.
Georgetown has 19 turnovers at 15 minute mark and only trails by 6. Thats unbelievable.
On Howard?! Haha wow
If I was coaching against Marquette I would tell my guys to simply dribble full speed into Markus and Theo even if they aren't guarding you because they will get called for the foul
Had no idea that Muggsy Bogues was a BE ref
Rowsey hottt
Can we get AR open more??

Or in the case of Theo just stand next to him. Case in point
I am filing a Title IX complaint. They never choose women to do the Qdoba basketball challenge or the golf game.
Pat Driscoll would be embarrassed by those technicals
Markus struggles but doesn't struggle for confidence.
Playing physical and playing defense. Can't shoot. Surreal
I love it when the cameras catch Broeker yelling something to the the refs or Wojo.
Another well timed Rowsey
Tommy Boy is on to watch during commercials.
Rowsey got the stroke going today

Face it sports fans. While Froling looks like he has talent, we have vastly overated his difference maker status. Maybe "next year" which is our everyday mantra.
We really need Markus to get good again
Heldt is quietly having a really good game
Markus, they are taller than you.
Hopefully Sacar is ok. We need him.
Fouls, ugh. Hope Sacar alright, looks like just a bump.
Man, looking at some of the GT players, that must be Ewing recruiting criteria.
I love a guy who brings his garbage pail to work everyday
Hopefully Sacar is fine
Was relieved to see it was banged knees instead of a knee bend or something
Here comes the choke

Maybe you should choose dudes with smaller packages ey?
My goodness, how many three point plays do they have. Do we foul them on every shot?
Heldt ugh
WTF. As crapping as GT is we should be kicking their ass by 20 or more with all their TOs. Wojo , into his 4th year still is clueless.
Playing horrible
Luckily Gtown doesn't have much Offense at all
Howard's floater looks like something floating in the toilet.
Exactly. I would be seriously worried if it was any other team or if rowsey was out. Those two things give me assurance
Nothing like the stall offense to willingly allow the opponent down by double digits to get back in the game

Markus another brutal flotater
But a great rebound to get it back
Then Rowsey makes that wow
How'd you like to play horse with AR?
We played real bad down the stretch. Now with a minute I think we got it. But not until now. Glad they are real bad.
Markus might need electric shock therapy or something
Jeez Howard. Brutal down the stretch

It was four straight possessions down to one on shot clock. Bailed out by a foul on Rowsey and a miracle by Rowsey.

Rowsey. Wow. We get crushed tonight without him.
GU. 25 turnovers and are still close. Ugly game.
Sure does not feel like a win. We just stopped playing offense the last two minutes of the game.

All you do is whine
The team is not very good unless rowsey, howard, and hauser are filling it up.
Howard has gone complete full on [crap], cant make a lay up and cannot even be counted on to handle the ball in late game or full court situations.
Hauser very solid needs to be much more aggressive n shoot more. Nothing more frustrating then when Hauser passes up a gois shot n passes to Howard who chucks up a force. Hauser needs to realize hes prolly a better shooter than Howard.

Hauser is not athletic enough to create his own shot against more athletic defenders his size. Needs others to create space for him. Can't argue against Markus being in a slump right now.

I did about the time heldt n howard airballed layups n they hit 3 3s to cut it to 6 with 2 plus left. Got alil luck with the bailout foul on rowsey with two secs on shot click closely gurded from 28 feet

I agree howard is going to shoot more than Hauser all things being equal because he has the ball in his hands n hauser needs to get open. However, i am referring to hauser shooting on a higher percentage of the times he does get the ball. And specifically to the times that Hauser has a wide open shot and passes it up resulting in a deep contested chuck by howard. Happened once in the second half. And happens alot

Once a half = a lot? Seriously, it isn't in Sam's nature to force a play. He won't force a 3 out of rhythm just because he think he is a better shooter than Markus. Not the way he plays the game.

Markus will be just fine. The Hauser is not athletic enough narrative is way over stated. SH is underrated and doesn't get the credit he deserves. What else do you want the kid to do.

I love the kid. He plays defense, handles the ball well, particularly against the press, rebounds well, passes well, hits open shots. To say he has trouble creating shots against taller, quicker players does not mean I have anything but the highest respect for him and his game. I do. But when he tries to create a shot against a 6'9 guy who is equally quick, he struggles a little. Sam is the glue. And the Big East scouting reports are saying so, too. So they are having his guy run him off the line and not help as much. Good coaching.

Agree and what u are saying speaks to what i am saying. Sam does not shoot unless he has a open shot. Im just saying i wiuld rather sam, with his size take a few more "questionable" shots and howard with his size take a few less.
Additionally it happens more than 1 time , there was one time in the second that was very glaring where sam passed up a open 3, also could of driven and passed to howard who was double teamed by two taller players n threw up a total brick.
Tower will argue anyhting i say

I agree with you but I look at his play and his stats compared to wes, Crowder and lazar for example as sophs and hauser's are better. i feel because he is a tall white guy he gets labeled and stereotyped and I'm not sure it rings true. he's a sophomore, he is going to have trouble getting shots off of tall experienced players

I get that. His stats are great and I love his game. To say someone has a flaw in his game does not mean I dislike them. I loved Dom, he struggled from the foul line. I loved Jerel. He had a terrible habit of driving the baseline, elevating under the backboard, and throwing the ball away. I love Sam. Right now, against guys his size in the Big East, he is struggling to beat them off the dribble. Not mad, not hating, just watching
Quote from: NickelDimer on December 30, 2017, 05:34:03 PM
This one was never in doubt
They took a 3pt shot...off front rim when we had a 6 pt lead. I've seen it happen. For 39 of the 40 min I was certain we would win but we screwed up so bad that I wondered what if when that shot was taken. GT being awful was of real comfort though.
We win a game leading coast to coast by about what Vegas said we should win by (I'm pretty sure I saw on here that we opened at -9) and yet the game thread would make it seem like we we were down most of the game and won on last second free throws from a foul that the refs got wrong.
