Friars are twats. Ed Cooley is a twat. Twat, twat, twat. Twats gone wild.
GO WARRIORS!!!!!

Golden warriors
Nice to have Gus Johnson and Jim Jackson doing the MU game!
National audience...let's do this!
Let's have Sacar finish at the rim, have Bailey and Cain positively contribute. Gotta be careful. We got this.

Championship Blues
Wait, do they have the same intro song as us?
Let's go Warriors. Gotta play better than this. Stop sleep walking.
Sacar puts us on the board.
Rebounding is not our friend
Man, what's up with the slow starts? Providence is everywhere on the boards, fighting for 50/50 balls and we're a little flat-footed so far.
On the bright side, Sacar is off to a nice start, though.
Great clear by Ed
Sacar again.
Ain't der no chat, hey?
11 am start for MU. Kind of expected a bit of a sluggish start. We'll find our energy
Given up 4 offensive rebounds n a live ball turnover by Howard. Speaking of a list if concerns... smh

I think Markus got hurt on that drive....slight grimace
We going to be in foul trouble if this stays this way
Sacar coming up big so far. Keep going guys!!!
Big time foul trouble
Refs seem to be calling it very tight - on us.
Baileys shot is broke
Brendan needs to stop shooting threes. He'll get there with some work, but he's not there yet. His green light from 3 needs to be red.
Does Bailey shoot 90% in practice or what?
Big time brick and no d by Bsiley. Put cain in
Providence plays tough defense, a bit too tough....how about some whistles

Agree
Big time rebound by Cain.

Hits a lot during shootarounds. Shoots too quick during gameplay.
Cooley whines to the refs too much
Friars much more physical-using hand on Markus-body on MU drives. Warriors playing good defense and getting called for touch fouls.
Ed's playing much better of late
Like I thought, he got injured
We've been lucky with injuries all year
Quote from: Cheeks on February 23, 2019, 11:28:31 AM
Like I thought, he got injured
Looked like groin.
Sam at point, four straight turnovers by MU.
He's back.
Back on the bench is a good sign
How dare those Providence fan chant bullish!t.
I'm going with slight groin strain
Anim with a one on three hero loosey goosey play
Turnovers and fouls are killing us.
NickelDimer,you were right. We are setting in. 18-12 and playing well last 5 minutes.
Boom! Sacar
Thugs....total thugs
Stay classy Providence fans...does bring a great environment though
Sacar on a mission today. Thunder Dunk!!!
Joey looking better today. Hopefully he can build on the early success
Markus definitely lacking explosiveness right now....
Theo's Defense has been spectacular. He is doubling per the game plan, communicating and controlling his man.

The only bullshit going on is the home cooking refs. The Providence chapters surely must recognize the big kisses they are getting
Yet again, game thread makes it seem we're down 10. Crazy. Wish PGs were here to reinforce the negativity
There really banging on Howard but we're playing with confidence

Calling Cooley a twat......now that's class!
Sacar is 5 for 6. Let's keep feeding him. He's feeling it.

Absolutely banging on Howard, but Anim is freed up.
Bullshit call on Morrow
When is Howard going to wake up from his deep sleep

Reading is difficult
Does not sound like the usual RC 83. Maybe he's drunk.
7 straight turnovers without Howard on the floor?
How is that not a walk?
Quote from: willie warrior on February 23, 2019, 11:47:41 AM

Personally I love other players stepping up.
Press break is fine eh?
Providence is embarrassingly terrible at everything save for rebounding. What an awful team.
Man Prov getting some calls
Quote from: willie warrior on February 23, 2019, 11:47:41 AM

Almost like he's hurt or somethin?
Also, is it just me or are there was more TV timeouts than normal today. That's the sixth one by my count.

Theo's Defense has been spectacular. He is doubling per the game plan, communicating and controlling his man.
Underrated post. Great D and the doubles have been great.
what is wrong with Howard?
Sam has done that 2-3 times now. Sam!! Shoot!
How many turnovers do we have
Quote from: WarriorDad on February 23, 2019, 11:56:42 AM
what is wrong with Howard?
"left hip injury", whatever that means (was said on tv)
Nice half. Don't worry about Villanova. Marquette, take care of business.
Yes—post D has been great.
Quote from: 79Warrior on February 23, 2019, 11:53:01 AM
Personally I love other players stepping up.
Yes, as long as we stay ahead. Just have a feeling we will need his scoring in 2nd half
Quote from: ChitownSpaceForRent on February 23, 2019, 11:55:31 AM

It's just you.
Per ESPN Theo only has one block? I have seen 3.
Marquette bringing the energy today, especially on defense. Hausers are killing it down low. Playing great right now, keep it up!
Turnovers will be the death of this team in post season.
Theo with two fouls, anyone else......rough game. I hate playing these guys.
Quote from: WarriorDad on February 23, 2019, 11:56:42 AM
what is wrong with Howard?
Looked like he pulled a groin muscle early in the first half. I think he's toughing it out since providence is keying their whole D on stopping him which is opening up things for others. That and the fact I'm not sure a possession has resulted in anything other than a TO when he has been out.
Quote from: 79Warrior on February 23, 2019, 11:59:39 AM
Turnovers will be the death of this team in post season.
All but one team dies in the post season, it is simply a matter of what the cause is....turnovers, bad shooting, defense, rebounding, etc
Goal #1 for second half: Wojo does not use a TO before the first media timeout.
It's happened way too many times since conference play has started.
10 turnovers is very bad, still up 11 thanks to defense.
PU scored 13 points in the final 17 minutes. 13.
MU doubling Watson who has missed a few, but also has dished twice to Diallo for scores. Thats about it for PU.

Treatment at halftime, cannot let that stiffen up. When did it happen? Began watching with about 5 minutes left in the half.
Limit the TO's and we got this
Quote from: 79Warrior on February 23, 2019, 12:02:21 PM
Really? Who knew.
Don't worry 79, Cheeks / Warrior Dad will keep us on track.
Good half defensively. Keep that focus up while limiting turnovers and we'll walk out with a W.
Defense was very good.
Only 30-31 possession first half. Would like to see 40 in second. More possessions to our advantage.
We need Howard for nova 100% healthy
Virginia is struggling at Louisville.
Go Cards!!!

I mean it's worked out ok
Regardless of the score it was not a great half. Could have played a lot better overall. Thankfully a few guys stepped up and Providence is not playing well.

Why are you attacking me?
Joey is playing better. Really toughing it out.
Nice Sammy
No attacks. Thought you made a good point. Keeping us focused on what we need to do to win.
We are on the same page!!!
Markus not looking to score, this will be interesting to watch
2 quick fouls on Watson
Didn't get points tho
"They call him the Sheriff"
??
Cmon guys get it together.
Beautiful Sacar
Nice to have Joey going
Joey splash
Reeves best game since his injury of course
These refs are doing it all to get John out of the game.
Sacar playing awesome
Half to under 16, lead stayed at 11. That's a win in my book.

Agree. Didn't immediately throw away the great first half effort. Hopefully they can hang on. Have a feeling the pace is going to ramp up.
Phantom fouls on TJ
Quote from: LloydsLegs on February 23, 2019, 12:17:22 PM
"They call him the Sheriff"

Homer has called him that a couple times. Pretty sure that nickname is spoken for.
If we score more points than them, I think we can win this one.
Ed's gotta kick that out

How is it looking now
One of the Hauser's needs to set the screen for Markus. It's useless if our 5 does it.
THE ANSWER
We need a run to put them out
Sacar is unreal today
Sacar is really bringing his A game today. He's killing it
Quote from: WolfganghisKhan on February 23, 2019, 12:20:27 PM
Sacar playing awesome
If Sacar can play like this routinely next year, this is a Final Four caliber team next season.
BEAUTIFUL BASKETBALL
Wow
Wow
Wow
Sacar might actually be right where JJ was his senior year. And JJ was really good his senior year. And I never thought I would say that.
Holy blackout
LOL Markus from Foxboro. Drive home safely Friar fans
Sam...en fuego
wow.. just wow
Great 1st half.
2nd half so far? Wow.
Quote from: Cheeks on February 23, 2019, 12:28:50 PM

Yes, absolutely. Could also be a great run this year if Sacar keeps this up.
Go Warriors.
this is excellent basketball.
2 or 3 starters out for most of that run. Deep team.
Just beautiful.
This is such a great feeling I wanna bottle it, what a run
Last four minutes = unbeatable basketball.
Is this the best team basketball MU has played all season? Still a lot of time left in this game, but this has been so fun to watch. Everyone contributing!
Markus is definitely walking gingerly.

Virginia found their mojo. Came back at Louisville.

True
And yes, Go Warriors
Can't let up now
Hopefully Theo can make these free throws
It won't be a complete victory without a dunk from Theo.
Quote from: WarriorDad on February 23, 2019, 12:38:29 PM
How was he injured?
Didn't see anything specific. Shortly into the first half he came out and went back to the locker room for a couple minutes. Guessing just a fall...
If we can start hitting the big men on the roll, watch out.
Alright guys, wake up
Jeez, there's away to go in this guys.
MU not scored in almost four minutes. Up 22 with ten to go, now down to 13
Here it comes. Referred home cooking
Get Markus out. Start the healing process now
Back to 19 we good.
Let's boost the efficiency the final 4.
The red under the basket has a huge quick anticipatory whistle
Heard he Is Cooleys boy.
Quote from: Cheeks on February 23, 2019, 12:54:10 PM
Get Markus out. Start the healing process now
Agreed. Bring him back in if it gets within 10.
That should do it.
Reeves and Duke gonna be very good for PU over the years, just like Okinju and McClung for Georgetown. Just young backcourts now, but potential problems for MU in future.
Getting the easy rebounds according to Gus
Gus said Morrow got an "easy rebound".
Pumping those stats.
Refs trying to foul both our centers out.
Get Markus out of the game. Need to get him healthy.
Pre mature whistle again
Need some TERROR

Yeah, I don't get why he's in. Doesn't make any sense.
A very weak hear we go "friars"
