Let's go now. Get a W and perhaps we can finish the season on a positive note? Obviously we can't go 3-25 from distance.
Elliott starting for Cain.
Greg starting over Jamal.
Probably to bring some semblance of size off the bench.
3 turns early. Two by Cartion and a moving screen by Theo.
Strong take by DG with the right hand.
Decent first 5 mins. Some sloppy turns but the D has been pretty good as well as the defensive glass. No reason for Carton or McEwen to force things.
My kingdom for a decent entry pass.
We are so bad at taking advantage of mismatches
In bounds play.
Butler really sags when they sense an entry pass.
Was that a successful BOOB!?!

Bam. Finally hit a three!! Nice kick DJ to GE.
Well crap my mouf! A great BOOB play from MU!!!
Yes, DJ, that's called the back door.
Bam!!! Nice offensive reb and the and-1 for JC. Detroit kids going to work.
Cain emerging.

Rainbow 3 from GE. Let's go now.

Lol.
Nice box out, Theo.
2nd on Theo. Golden has taken him to school a few times. Smh.
Catch the ball!!
Was KM trying to hit the ceiling on that corner 3? 6 pt swing.
I'm not sure Carton even touched Thompson on that foul...
Sy!!!
So whose points count as bench points - Greg or Jamal!?!
(https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.76b8R_0_7UWC8_z5QsxOdAAAAA&pid=Api&P=0&w=300&h=300)
GE is bringing good things to life.
Can't lose focus. Finish strong to close the half.
College Derrick Wilson might beat Torrence in a 3 pt contest
Perez comes into the game and takes that shot? Why?
Kobe Perez
Did you see the bench jump on that Boldin foul?

What happened to Garcia? Uh-Oh.
M*A*S*H unit.
Nice change of pace dribble there by DJ. Get this to 18-20.
How many boards does Jamal have?

Then they will have us right where they want us.
What?? That looked like a charge.

100% Obviously lowered the shoulder.
You could call a charge on every one of their possessions. They repeatedly lead with the shoulder and push off with the arm.
Also, fouling non-stop on defense.
It's clear that Butler's plan is to try and bloody this game up.
Like the spark tonight. Cain and Torrence are playing with fire.
Theo!!
I realize Butter isn't good but that was an excellent half of hoops from the Warriors. Hopefully DG is alright.
So if, when they win we get 10 days off to enjoy it? Looks like we have Butler's # this year. Knock on wood...
Foul trouble and minutes management is going to be the second half issue.
Also, Butler is going to make a run. Probably because of foul trouble and fatigue.
Solid first half. Team playing with intensity necessary. Need to bring the same intensity in the second half.
Very good first half. Should get an easy win here, but damn Butler is bad.
So who's getting the "we have a pretty good team and coach" thread all primed? Seems like a Tower or BLM task.

If Garcia doesn't come back, I think Butler completes the comeback this time.
Let's go now. Keep attacking.
How long is Golden allowed in the lane??
Wrong thread...but was wondering...is MU not playing Gtown to close-out the season?
Jesus, Golden, pitch a tent!
Thatta boy Theo!!
Ughhhhhh. Cramp?
Extension coming

I don't think it's been rescheduled.
We have played well so far. No one is mistaking Butler for the Lakers or saying we should extend or retain our coach.
Love this version of Greg! I'm not sure he has the gas in the tank to keep this up all game, but let's hope!

sadly a 2 or 3 late season meaningless wins to crap teams is gonna get wojo back next. oh well i cant do anything about it
Sloppy turn by KM. A bit surprised they haven't ball pressured more. Need to continue to attack.

That would be utterly shocking. I honestly don't see it happening Johnny.
Butler goes zone.
Bam. Finally nailed a. open 3. MU up 20. Get it to 30.

Sorry you're content with mediocrity and can enjoy any moment of Wojo's tenure - which in its entirety has effectively relegated us to complete irrelevancy. Truly sorry.

Who said anything about being content? I am not so sad and miserable that I can't enjoy a good half by my team. You should try and enjoy something once in a while.
Butler is really bad.
Not sure why so many were convinced we would lose this game. Obviously we are not good either but aside from Nova we at least play competitive vs everyone.
Butler straight up sucks.
No posing there DG
Lame foul call there.
Cain with the double double
Quote from: MuggsyB on February 17, 2021, 07:04:05 PM

I've decided I really don't like Golden.
Would like to see the Scout team kids get some minutes tonight.
Butler is bad, and shorthanded, but thus far this is the most complete game we have played all year. That includes Creighton and Whisky. Can't lay off the gas down the stretch.
Brilliant Koby
That was not good. Should have been back to back hammer flushes after breaking the press and a 2 on 1.
Theo making those high arcing free throws is a thing of beauty.
I don't care for Golden either. Let's push this out a bit.

Push it out?!?!?!
We are up 24 lol
I think we might hold on for the win.
Butler is more Marquette than Marquette is, hence we are winning and I'm thoroughly enjoying it!!!
Butler is an abysmal 131 in NET, and looking it. Just two bad teams playing each other. Nothing to see here.
We have lost 20 pt leads in 5 mins. I remember that L'Ville game was it...2010? I think we will hold on but I'd like to unleash darkness.
Wonder if walk ons get in.
I think I'd like to see Greg start over Koby next game.
Damn...DJ limping.
Quote from: MuggsyB on February 17, 2021, 07:24:07 PM
Damn...DJ limping.
Should be putting walk on kids in . Don't risk injuries the last few minutes.
Nicely played game. Good to see confidence from Greg and Jamal. Hope it sticks.
Sweet Jesus. Total lack of awareness by Sy.
This team never wants to beat a press
It feels nice to get a blowout conference win. Butler looks like doo doo, but credit the team for wiping the floor with them tonight.
Solid performance. Cain/Elliott were really good.
Aksnno doesn't appear to he ready.
COVID really set Akanno back, never got going this year, to bad
Lavall jordan with another classy performance pressing while down 25 with 4 min to go.
Expected him to try and injure one of our players again
Awesome Win Only Negative Walk ons cost Us precious NET Points.

He's also the 400th ranked recruit who redshirted last year due to not being ready. He's got a long way to go.

You can filter by Q1 wins here:
https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings
Looks like Minnesota and MU are the only 2 outside the top 50 with 3 Q1. MU is certainly the ONLY school outside the top 100 with 3 Q1 wins! If you drop it to 2+ Q1 wins, Oregon St and Tulsa join MU as the 3 outside the top 100.

Sure, but either I was smoking crack or they just updated (likely the former - page says "Through Games Feb. 16 2021
"). Both Minnesota (52) and Stanford (57) have 4 Q1 wins, MU (108) has 3. Everyone else with 3 or more is in the top 50.
