Let's go Warriors!
Let's get some Jamal run tonight!

Think Maybe Markus can go off for once, hey?

Thanks topper!
Hope Jamal can get in and see if he can knock down that corner 3.
Stop shooting Brendan my lord. Legit ten straight threes missed. 15% on the year
Jamal about to come in.
Anyone else think Ed May have walked on either of those buckets?

Four times
Hauser brothers shooting 1-7 right now. Hope the shooting funk ends soon.
Yeah.... who was saying baileys defense is better then Cain's?
He's not looking good to say the least
This is ugly. Markus taking dumb shots. No one else can do anything right now

Cain is much better than Bailey. If Cain didn't gamble as much his D would be substantially better, too.
If Joey isn't scoring, at least he makes nice passes!
Whats with us playing half asleep after these rest weeks. Dang!!!!! Look like a top 25 team already
Bad Howard so far. ISO at the top of the key, wait 5 seconds, run to the right, and do nothing
The Hausers have got to show up eventually
Boys look a lil slow tonight. I hate these long layovers, can tell a difference. Butler is hot right now too...
Joey has turned into a long end of the bench type of player last month or so
Got to crash the boards

Joey has turned into a long end of the bench type of player last month or so
He has lost all touch on his shot - and his confidence has plummeted.
Yup zero confidence hopefully that post up play gets him going. His jumper is gonzo tho
22 points?? MU needs to speed this game up
Gotta get a butt into someone on the boards.
Probably not a flagrant on Brunk but just a douchebag play. Theo don't play that sh**
Good comeback. Good D at the end. Let's come out with some fire the second half!
Fighting back, love it. They're awake now, second half is ours
Sam please start hitting shots
Then we got this
Point of those fouls?
Shoot 20% from 3 in a half and that'll happen. Hit your shots in the second half and we should be fine.

Agree. Dumb. And please don't use that Butler didn't score as proof that this was a good idea.
Just put unnecessary pressure on Sacar now going into the 2nd half.

Sacar getting his second isn't great, but it's smart strategy. Most teams run a 15 second set. Shortening that can disrupt flow. Basically forced them into iso.

Seems like most team's 15 second set is for one guy to dribble for the first 7 seconds any way
Not at the expense of one of those fouls being on Sacar. Stupid.
18 seconds vs. 12 seconds vs.
8 seconds.
Terrible trade off.

It was a good idea. They rushed into a simple pick and roll versus running a set. I wouldn't do it regularly but it clearly worked there.

Why not? If you think it's a good idea, and believe that strategy clearly worked there, why wouldn't you use it regularly?
It's a bad trade off. 2 fouls. One, to a player who may be needed to defend Baldwin deep in the 2nd half with 4 fouls. For what? Attempting to get the opposition to potentially rush their set one time? No way.
Jesus terrible start
Grab the rebound Markus
Here we go again with the slow second half starts
wow awesome start to the half
It doesn't look like anyone cares to be playing a basketball game right now
Jesus h. Get the unnatural carnal knowledge in the game. This is a team poised to make a tourney run this year?????

not ready to play at the start of the game. not ready to play at the start of the 2nd half. really pathetic thus far.

I mean I wouldn't use it regularly because you are most often in the bonus. Sorry but I disagree with you and think that Sacar going into the second half with two fouls isn't that big of a deal.
How many times can we take away rebounds from ourselves?
Who wants to get a bound?
Sam looks like he's having a hard time just dribbling
Butler doesn't even look good. We just look dreadful. No energy no flow nothing. Everyone out of sync. Brutal
3 on Sacar
Sam has been so slow with the basketball its frustrating. I get nervous when he puts the ball on the floor

3rd on Sacar. 18 minutes left. Now he has to play differently.
Joey takes a mid range shot and shoots it like it needs to go 35 feet.
Theo biffs an easy and 1. 3 on McDermott tho.
Williamson out with leg injury. Markus, your table is set.
Markus stop trying to get us back into it with 40 footers whn you're not feeling it
no idea what howard is doing right now. just throwing up garbage
Self-inflicted nut punch?
Howard, please distribute.... penetrate and dish. Stop with the garbage 3s
Sam!
Let's keep the pace now!!
BEast looks like a SOTG tonight
"Coach" Gilles has the same sch tick as Virale, calling for a time out whe he sees the coach already up.
Grab boards!
That's my guy. Cain!
Bailey you can't do that
MOAR. JAMAL. CAIN.
Why the F*** is bailey playing right now?!? What purpose is he serving today???
Did Gillen coach at Xavier???

Interesting lineup right now. Very long. Markus, Sam, Cain, Bailey, Theo
Theo is hunting for blocks a little too much tonight. Really getting himself out of position.

Noticed that too. Alot of dumb decisions always going for the highlight block. The guy needs to learn that sometimes just not jumping and putting your hands up is the best move
I really like seeing Jamal involved. Was kind of counting him out and he's worked has way back in.
Ahem...Cain
Playing now.
Bad sequence for Markus tho. Wtf was that pss
Ok, sacar playimh better now.
Huge charge Sacar!!
Worst 2g in the big east
Good adjustments so far out of the half
The defensive rebounding is horrendous. I cant keep track of the fumbled rebounds that we fumble into Butlers hands. Half if Butlers points have to be second chance. Fortunately they are barely a D1 team
john and cain have had very nice games. keep up this d
Didn't think I'd be saying it after the last couple of years, but the D has been what's done it tonight

Correct and boxing out so their 5 doesnt keep getting layins
Sacar you can't miss that
5 point swing
Sacar doesnt suck but jesus he can make the simple look difficult
Sorry but sacar really is the worst finisher for a starter level guard in ages. He must be in the running for blown layups
There it is Markus
Jesus Joey
Joey has no chance at the nba with that kind of slow footed d my god.
Joey is a piss poor defensive player
Get Cain in.
Some of Markus dribbling makes absolutely no sense
What was the plan there??
Howard is playing out of control.
why are we struggling so much to dribble the ball??
SAM DUNKED!!!!!!!
Sacar our best shooter now??
Is that the first sam dunk!!?????
Sacar is Todd Townsend.
When Theo stays out of foul trouble and is allowed to play with a bit of freedom he is so much fun to watch.
Even that assist!

sacar has hit some big 3's towards the ends of games this year
That's six turnovers by Markus. Three in last two minutes.
I was just gonna say this ended up being an easy cover
Then Sacar fouls the 3 shooter.
McDermott has a punchable face
Joey needs to sit for remaining game
Get that slug Joey out of there
joey needs some time on the pine to get his head right. just terrible
And another dumb foul by hauser
Quote from: ChitownSpaceForRent on February 20, 2019, 09:57:10 PM

A little bit like Deefendork from zSyracuse several years back.
Quote from: ChitownSpaceForRent on February 20, 2019, 09:57:10 PM

Agreed
Jorgensen overall more punchable.
Why not Jamal for Joey???
Joey, Joey.
This press break / trap break performance is concerning
Joey with 3 fouls in last minute.
Talk about playing with your head firmly embedded in your caboose
McDermott having the game of his life??
Dude is flying in for dunks
Season high 25 points for McDermott.
Great non blackout by zBailey
Just realized the lack of Ed tonight
That's what happens when Theo isn't in foul trouble
Ugly finish now
TOs and McDermot getting 95 rebounds
It's always fun to read this thread and wonder if y'all are watching the same game I am.

Are these like Nintendo rules where the team in the lead doesn't get any benefits like normal fouls?

Yep. Every game thread us just non stop whining. As if the other team has nothing to do with the outcome. As if every mistake is a personal affront. Toddlers.
Because we won the game by 10 points, doesn't negate the fact that our press break was absolutely horrible the last 3 minutes.
I find it odder that people on here think we shouldn't comment on such a horrific display and be happy and content with the last 3 minutes......because we won.
It's the game thread. This is where these things are brought up.
If some scoopers are absolutely thrilled regarding the end of the game......because we did enough to win.....good for you.
I'm thinking of future teams who are much better than Butler on the press. Needs to be cleaned up. That's all.
The press break wasn't good. Joey is a large part of the regular press break. Joey had fouled out. Ergo, we did not have our regular press break group out there against a very aggressive press. Ergo, it did not flow. IMO, it was a good learning experience. And it gave them a marker of what needs worked on. In a perfect world, I would want Joey, Sam, Markus, Bailey, and Chartouny in to break the press. All handle the ball, all hit free throws, enough size to be able to throw over the top sometimes. Chartouny had played next to nothing all game and Joey fouled out. Sacar didn't look good.
MU won by 10, Wojo has something to work on, fans have something to kvetch about.

You absolutely should comment on bad plays like the press break at the end. Why they kept tossing it to our worst FT shooter in the corner I will never understand. It was driving me batty. If this thread was a mix of comments on good plays and bad ones I would probably still participate. Lately, it has morphed into almost all comments on bad plays with the occasional complaint about the refs . That's not a bad thing, it just is.
Our press break was horrid and the lead shrunk from 13 to ......OMG 10 in 3 minutes. Fire Wojo! If they would have kept that up for another 9 minutes it would have been a one possession game!

I think my first trophy was a participation trophy for being on a soccer team when I was 5. I was very excited about it at the time because I had never had a trophy before. Then I realized that I was going to get one every time I was on a team of any kind. Then they started going in the trash.
