Sooooo, which is more offensive, Fighting Sioux or fighting irish????
Let's give these fellas a good scalping tonight. Good prep for skewering a couple of Buffaloes later this week.
Brandon for the early SOTG pick.

Just an hour early. I'm on Newsie time.
It seems a lot of cupcakes are hanging with majors tonight. It's a tough night to play. Hope the guys are ready.
I'm not looking ahead...but Buffalo is on ESPN2 right now. They extend their defense really high.
Come on Coley, stick a fork in them.

Missed the first five due to Providence taking their sweet a$$ time. Announcers said something about Howard getting banged up?

nh? He got back on the court after that. Looks fine.
Sloppy play so far. Better pick it up.
Markus back on the. Bench last oking for treatment.
9 turnovers. Woof.

Yikes, this is getting ugly. Gotta take care of the ball out there, guys. Ed, Chartouny, Sacar, Jamal - all got stripped or tied up way too easily in the last few minutes. They all just need to take a breath here and slow down during this timeout.
11 goddamn turnovers in 11 min
No amount of time off makes that ok
Classic tooney with steal coughs up a dumb pass on the fastbreak and ND turns it into points
Avoided the dreaded Dickie Simpkins until Dec. 18 this season. All good things eventually come to an end.
Both teams appear to be on cocaine.
Trap game.
On the bright side
When we are not turning it over
Pretty much scoring at will

What is this referencing ? Not aware of any blunder history ????
Markus certainly is settling down. And we're finally playing like we should. Should cover, hey?
Man, those are some ugly uniforms.
I think this is my first game with Dickey this year.
Really missed him.

Watching Syracuse v. Buffalo. Buffalo may loose tonight but they are for real. Experienced, tough, focused, resilient. Maybe not the greatest players but they are going to be a very real test.
First 14 minutes, 12 turnovers.
Last 6 minutes, 1 turnover.
But, 13 is way too much. Can't o this against Buffalo.
Theo had 2 fouls, 2 turnovers in three minutes. Guy can't stop fouling. Six of last seven games he has had at least four fouls and just can't stay on floor.
Cain subbed for gimpy Markus for like one minute, had a turnover and then sat. Usual story there.
ND is not real good and MU should destroy and yes, their uniforms are downright ugly.
Hope Markus only has a bruise.
What's up with Theo? Just not the right matchup?

Scoop doesn't have a mobile app???
But the game chat usernames are not authenticated, so don't trust anything there.

Score mobile....it's a sports score app.
Definitely possible that's it's not him, but it defaults to your real name. The message board/chat things on there are not often used.

Interesting. You should ax him on another medium.. like his Twitter or something. His sis was a star here, so would be a little weird, but...
On the plus side, when we can hang on to the ball, this is about as good as our offense has looked this year.
I'm hoping Wojo can use the second half to test some lineups and give guys like Jamal and BB some run since this is our last cupcake of the year.

Buff now +10 with < 2 minutes left
I love how the big east tourney advertisement has literally zero footage of Marquette. Must have gotten all their footage on friday and saturday nights, ayna?

1 minute or so. Turnover.

Time to get it going again
I'm liking Ed's game tonight. Let's hope he brings it Friday.
Chartouney makes some of the nicest plays followed by some of the worstplays you will witness multiple times a game.
Realistically. How far can we go with this ridiculous turnover rate? 20 vs. this squad of junk ballers? Hoping Greg can come in and help that number.

If we continue to play defense — we will have a decent season. Makes up for a lot of sins on offense.

For this team, turnovers matter. They have the ability to be an achilles heel as we get into conference play. The whole point of these early season games is to improve on weaknesses, so the fact that we're still struggling to take care of the ball against a very clearly inferior opponent is worth noting.

Scoop needs to temper its collective expectations for Greg. He's coming off a surgery and hasn't played a single minute. His practice has likely been pretty limited. And he's just a sophomore who had a solid but not spectacular freshman year playing the 2/3 and very little PG.
I don't see any strong reason to believe he'll be able to pick up solid minutes right out of the gate. If it has taken Ed and Joe this long to find their roles on this year's team, think about how hard it could be for Greg to do the same. He's got to be considered the 3rd option at least until mid-February at point unless there has been a very big change in his game over the summer that has yet to be mentioned.
On the turnovers, obviously this was a bad turnover night. No reason to be giving the ball away 20 times in any game let alone one against North Dakota.
That being said, I do think there is some level of playing down to their opponent. Check out the numbers against high majors vs low majors
UMBC - 11
Bethune - 22
Presbyterian - 15
Charleston Southern - 19
UTEP - 15
North Dakota - 22
Avg: 17.3
Indiana - 14
Kansas - 13
Louisville - 9
Kansas State - 20
Wisconsin - 8
Avg: 12.8
You've got one outlier in each (UMBC & Kansas State) but our best TO games have come against high majors and our worst have come against low majors. I think its reasonable to believe that the team takes more risks against low major opponents when they know turnovers are unlikely to cost them. I think it's also reasonable to believe that they are trying new things and new rotations against low majors which may lead to more mistakes.
This completely lucid analysis, supported by verifiable facts, has no place here.

Makes sense. I wonder if minute allocation plays a role in this too.
