WTF??
Why is ESPN2 showing me SVP highlights?
Why is SVP and highlights on my screen???!!!
Wow lame gonna start on espnu
Piece of Sht ESPN
Why am I still watching highlights of football!?!?!?!
We are getting bumped to ESPNU so that Espn can show highlights?
Thats a program low point.
Meanwhile ESPN 2 still showing a repeat football game.
Jesus ESPN sucks.

Someone want to check bonas birth certificate? Dude looks like he's 36
Not a great start so far.
This is sloppy as all hell
Going to be tough getting anything around the rim tonight.
UCLA tough defensively as expected. This may be a good Sean Jones, Chase Ross, and Benny Gold game
Another awful turn. Let's go now!
Holy sh it stop throwing it away into traffic just slow down. There isnt pressure when we are making these passes.
TK usually way smooter

Very. We just need to calm down a bit.
Elite defensive play by Stevie to draw that charge on Bona
I think this is the most sober I've ever heard Walton on a broadcast.
Gotta value the ball better.
Good to get a foul on Bona
That dude is a kamikazee. He had one on defense of our bad pass where he barreled into us. And he came flying into our guys on two O boards as well.
Hopefully he keeps it up cause the fouls will eventually be called as we just saw.
Just need to settle down a bit - playing a bit to fast and UCLA is overplaying everything.
I pray the Big East next media rights deal isn't with ESPN. This is a CBSSN-level broadcast.

Nice turnout MU!
Ouch, osos layup taken off. Wasn't aware they could do that.
Wow....ugly wide open shot from Stevie.
Kinda wild they can take two points off the board from 4 minutes ago
Apparently they can review that so we are down.
We have to wake up
Stevies shot looks awful so far this year
Quote from: MuggsyB on November 20, 2023, 10:48:14 PM

He is just an awful shooter.
4 vs 5 on offense when he's in there.
Cant get over the hump early
Have to combine stops and buckets
Gotta get Oso involved offensively. I also think we're playing a click too fast.
UCLA has 4 Euro freshmen? That's wild out of nowhere
Going to see Chase Ross coming in right now...... and maybe Ben
They seem to have found something in that 10' baseline area
Still getting good looks though.
Jop had a couple rim out
Slow down a tad and we should be able to score enough. Just have to settle down. A bit like Illinois where our bad offense is mostly self inflicted.
I get that it seems like Marquette is playing too fast because of the mistakes, but this is the game we want.
What we don't want to see if the game start to slow down, especially in the second half.
If that happens it could mean trouble

Agreed. Need to slow down and click and make better decisions. Kolek has had several good possessions in a row. He came out too jacked, imo.

Theres a difference to playing at a faster tempo and what we are doing. Where we are forcing wild passes that are not needed. You can still move quickly and not just blindly throw the ball around.

Exactly right. But use Oso in the paint a bit? Or at the FT line?
That's our ball.
Ben got hacked
Tough to rebound if UCLA is gonna be able to jump onto us every time
Gold gets run over and then they call that.
Ughhh. Why??? Self-inflicted mistakes early.
Ah, Chase.
That's a bs turnaround.

Facing the refs so far in this one.
Going to be a slog if only one team is allowed to mug the opponent without fouls being called
They look tougher which is making them better.

WTF!!! Very upset right now.
Tough start, hopefully can turn it around on shooting. Worst part is dipshit NLW is back at first sign of struggle. Hard to believe he is even a fan.
Now Sean is out here rushing 3s for an airball???
If they aint even gonna try lets just head home
UCLA just dominating
Norman!!!
Two baskets in a row!
One of them a 3!
I told all of you...
MU might be in the top 20-25 range, but no higher than that.
They aren't even as good as UCLA.

"Daddy will you read to me?"
"No, I'm posting on the college basketball message board of the my teenage years rival school."
Wow, I wonder what Jop's vertical is.
Jop has taken 11 shots? Shoot to get hot then shoot to stay hot.
Man....brutal shooting.
3-14 from 3. yikes.
OMG
Stop taking stupid 3s.
Stevie you cant shoot so do not take a non catch and shoot.
Stevie should never take a three.
At some point tonight Kam is going to have to do his "instant points just add ball" thing.

Yes. And it would help if he was actually on the floor. It seems like he's been on the bench forever.
This game reminds me of last year's taffy pull against Mississippi St in Ft Myers.
Some really questionable shots this half. Also, need to play under control. They look like a team having a panic attack.

No. He is 0-7 on the season so far from 3.
Maybe that gets us going.
That's what we need - Kam!
Let's finish strong
The only thing that sucks more than our offense is Bill Walton. I've muted the TV. He is sooo bad.
Not helping that most of the fouls UCLA is drawing are shooting
And they are drilling the free throws
BENNY

We finally got a call on the perimeter.
Oh my god stevie
that free throw wasnt even close
I like what they did there. Kind of a fake pick and roll, with the purpose of drawing the big/defender too far out to rotate back down and defend the drive by Jones.
I'm sure he's continued to be a great teammate but Stevie has been trash this year
Just keep fighting!
Good to see Kam get going. WE need him
The last 21:12 have to be Kam and TK time
Early in the year we gotta ride them. The roll guys aint hitting wide open shots.
What a bucket by Kam.
When Kam and Tyler are on this team is so special.
Stevie is unsittable on the defensive end, but unplayable on the other

Focus Chase.
Pretty similar to the first half of Illinois here.
Giving away points at the line.
Missing two 1-1's absolutely sucked. FK.
5 point swing on that missed front end
Just can't make a free throw to save their lives while UCLA hits everyone
Just embarrassing.
Cant make free throws.
2 missed front ends
Give up a 3 to end it
Its just stupid and self inflicted basketball
Ref show
Poor shooting first half. Keep it under ten and come out in the second half playing more focused and more efficient. Relax. Do not panic. Play to your strengths. Where is the havoc? Press the Bruin guards. Hit some threes in transition. It's all about getting to find your rhythm. It see it coming getting closer to the half. Patience. Determination.
Unreal. UCLA was shooting 29% before this game. Cam looks hurt Cronin said hmm
Bill Walton sucks badly.
Interesting Cronin thinks Kam is hurt.
Miss 2 front-ends. Brutal.
Would you rather: get a colonscopy or play a Mick Cronin team?
Like seriously at some point one of the role guys is gonna have to look like a BE player
They are all doing everything they can to miss open shots and free throws.
Cronin said he thinks Kam is hurt. Has anyone noticed anything?

True and they're +7 at the line. Those two missed front ends and the foul on the triple from Chase did not make me happy.
All things considered, I'll take the first half and regroup. I thought they started out pressing and playing too quickly, last 6-7 minutes they had much better possessions.
I have been saying that MU experience and poise is a big part of my excitement for this team, we will see if that makes the difference in the second half.

I would like to see Oso get more touches in the H-C. I also think Tyko is letting UCLA's physicality get to him a bit. Additionally we need more offense from Stevie, Chase, or someone playing that 3rd guard spot.

It will, and some shots will fall too.
Just have to rebound those ucla misses
We played like crap. And only down 5. Let's get going and wipe them out in half two! Gooo Marquette!
Muggsy
Kolek had horrible game against UCLA two years ago and I think he was pressing early. I think he has a big second half.
MU needs to get the lead and force UCLA to shoot the ball before the shot clock is under 8 seconds. If UCLA can wait for late shots the whole second half MU will need to shoot much better and hope for a late, tight win.
Fingers crossed on a quick 10-2 for similar type run to start the half. It would be a big game changer. Get a lead and UCLA is forced to play quicker.

JOP!!! Let's go now!
Stevie is driving. me nuts!!
Stevie is approaching Derrick Wilson levels of useless on offense.
Stevie needs to find a nice bench
Oso is so disappointing so far this year. Just so many simple misses
And Stevie wide open brick again
This is insane
Stop shooting 3's Stevie!
MU doesn't look any better to start the 2nd half.
Joplin hammered - no call.
Mitchell cannot shoot.
I don't like to see Jop drive.
Certainly looked like Jop was fouled on that drive.
Get Stevie out of the god damn game
Beyond frustrating.
This offense is torture
And it leads to a Stevie heave. What in the hell
A hip check an Admiral defenseman would be proud off on the Joplin drive.
Quote from: Tyler COLEk on November 20, 2023, 11:42:50 PM

Love the "blame the refs" portion of the evening.
Joplin should never dribble and Stevie should never take a shot from the perimeter.
I'd press ucla at every opportunity
Pathetic.
Every possession.
UCLA is killing us with midrange jumpers - but I've been told those aren't good shots to take.
Don't want to say I TOLD YOU SO about Stevie Mitchell, but...
Needed a time-out before that possession. Totally out of sorts.
No fight
Well, time for MU to have somebody step up here or this one will be over very soon.
Embarrassing
Does Walton ever shut up?
Ugh
Bedtime
Need another 'big'. Roster a touch unbalanced, it seems.
Waste of a tournament playing like this and then getting chaminade.
Just inexcusable that not one guy seems to want it.
Outside of a few players, where is the talent on this MU team?
This is the Michigan st game again. This offense won't cut it come tourney time.
The idea that UCLA is not a good team was clearly insane. This is one of the most talented teams in college basketball.
Why the hell is Kolek getting into the lane and then trying to force it to Stevie for a corner three?? We know that's not going in. Losing plays all over the place...
Just don't see how this a top 5 team at all. They look bad. How great is UCLA anyway?
Gotta roll with Ross or Norman. And I probably insert Ben as well.
Stevie can stop shooting for the rest of the season.
I'm no coach, but I'd use the bench.
Getting KILLED...
Apparently no halftime " adjustments " ...
No defense. UGHHHH

They're not very good imo. Borderline top 30.
I'm scouting Chaminade on YouTube right now.
And people on this board were talking about MU being ranked #1.
Gotta love the delusion.
We have gotten a score, stop, score exactly 1 time today.
So I have no clue how in the hell we are supposed to make up 10 points.
UCLA just a better team so far, pick and roll game not working, good coaching from Cronin, always liked him as a coach, end of the year they should be right there. Good shooters something MU is not doing
Matador D by Oso.
Think Mick Cronin knows Stevie can't shoot? They don't hardly bother to guard him.
Cronin's a really good coach. Still think we have a counterpunch.
Quote from: PointWarrior on November 20, 2023, 11:47:27 PM

He's only taken 1 shot that wasn't wide open.
The best shots from Marquette belong to that old man taking photos of the Illinois cheerleaders. What a disappointment.
Cronin is a very good coach. Really has them ready to play.
Big probs.
Kolek bad as well
It is the MICH ST game.
10-0 run
Literally cannot shoot the ball
This offense is smoke and mirrors. Good tourney teams will shut it down.
Gents, we gonna lose.
Should Chaminade be favored tomorrow?
F-ing embarrassment
Have essentially gotten nothing at the rim. Two lay-ups total I think.
Not sure what is more frustrating. How MU is playing, or Walton.

I'd Probably go with the trolls that come out of the woodwork every time there's a bad showing.
If they can't get anything in the lane the offense just doesn't have enough shooters.

TK invisible, Stevie afraid. WTF. Same movie.
Obviously they are playing terribly and it's frustrating, but lots of time.
Kolek getting rattled was not something I expected.

I don't understand why we have looked frantic all night.
Should've kept the game on ESPNU, MU chokes on these national stations.
They will bounce back. Might not be tonight.
Going into the tournament, MU with a shot at #1. Coming out MU with a shot at falling out of the top 25.
We are getting open shots. Just not hitting them. And internal D is weak, UCKA is physical and we don't do well against physical teams. But still a chance.
This team is a top 5 defensive team in the country, most Cronin teams are.
This game was always going to be a battle.
Let's get it together and pull one out

Its 12 pts. Looks like we raised the white flag.
This team can't get over the hump in tough situations. Cut it to 2 before half - Stevie and Chase miss front end of 1 and 1's and then give up a last second three. 7 point swing.
Totally embarrassing sh*t show
I like arbys
Quote from: MuggsyB on November 20, 2023, 11:49:02 PM

He's open pretty much all the time. Cronin is daring him to shoot. When they can leave one of your guards alone it's tough to play offense.
We got this.
Maybe that gets Oso going.
I don't have the answer but teams are going to stop guarding Stevie going forward. Bona is a beast.
Guys gonna have to make 1on1 plays! Let's go
Some fight
Ok heres the run
Hell of a move by SJ. Wow.
Jones the Younger!!! LFG!!!
Got sick of Walton, muted the TV, 9-0 run.
You're welcome.
Bench players stepping up.
A D minus for 6 segments and now down one possession. I guess that's why they've got 4 next to their name.
Think its gotta be a lot of SJ and Chase to close it out
Stevie O is so bad and his D against a team like UCLA just doesnt help enough to offset that.
Time to keep the foot on the gas. Keep this momentum.
Sean Jones against elite defenses is a necessity

WTF????
That's a flagarant.
OFFENSIVE
Flagrant 1
I know cause that was a Theo John special
That's at least a flagrant.
Theo would be arrested.
F1 is the right answer here
Chef's kiss on that call. Same sht all night. Borderline flagrant 2.
Im so damn tired of guys 5 times our size somehow getting all the foul calls
Bona is a damn wrecking ball out there at all times and hes allowed to throw bows?!?!?!
It was also 3 secs in the lane.
Quote from: forgetful on November 20, 2023, 11:59:38 PM

That has to be a F1.
Agreed on F1.
This team just wiped out a 10 pt deficit in 2,5 mins with no Kam or TyKo

T Cronin up!!!
Mick Cronin losing his mind about some extremely favorable officiating for UCLA.
EDIT: Nevermind, MU's ball. Broadcasters of course making a mess of this.
Interesting choice putting Kam to the line
But he made em
Get a bucket here!
Encouraged K Jones shooting FT actually.
OSO!!!
LWTS GOOOO
Settle down there Chase
Oso coming alive. Cmon boys. Keep it going.
This is the Oso we fell in love with last year.
Best segment MU has played in a while.
Oso with a little edge there
Why do we ever throw the towel in on a Shaka team? I almost did tonight. LFG!
Props to the 6th man..MU crowd travels well
Wife dozed off when MU down 12. Just woke up and was like, "What happened!?!"

Please.

Let's go now!!!

Holy fvck this guy lol. Have some self-respect.
It's clear hyperbole to convey how poorly they were playing. Of course they wouldn't be out of the top 25. Some of you all are dumb.
4 on Bona.
Good attack Oso!
How was that not on Bona?
Great D by JTY!!
That wasnt on Bona??
Haha wtf
Good to see Diener in the building.
Quote from: forgetful on November 21, 2023, 12:08:22 AM

Dude has the Sean May amount of fouls tonight.
Nice to be on this side of the run
(https://cdn.dribbble.com/users/251177/screenshots/2988571/comp_1.gif)
TyKo sits, 17-0 run.
Unbelievable
We are in the bonus now too. Keep making your free throws this half
Especially the potential one and ones that are starting now.
This game's a little too fast for Walton and the PBP guy.
UCLA having the jump shooting game of their lives
Great D Sean!!!
This is a key time.
Extends this with a few big 3s
Our boys finally making some good 1v1 buckets.
Awful block call.
Lol kam not moving at all but they never call it when it's a dunk
That dude should be fouled out already.
If that's not a charge, the charge is truly dead.
How is that a blocking foul? It's either a charge or a no call.
Ugh just an awful and uncharacteristic gamble from Oso.
Quote from: #UnleashSean on November 21, 2023, 12:13:43 AM
Awful block call.
How the F was that notva charge or no-call?
Sit Jop
Stupid shot by Jop. Cmon man.
I thought no call live
I think Bona has 7 fouls now.
I don't like that shot by Jop.
Brutal timeout.
They will review and give UCLA the ball
Too fast for the refs, too. Obviously off Kolek.
Got a break obviously. Take advantage.
4 fouls on Kam hurts. Definitely wasn't a charge, Bono avoided him but definitely should have been a no call
Boneheaded
Quote from: DoctorV on November 21, 2023, 12:16:14 AM

Not 'til final 2 minutes, right?
Wow these refs. Horrible.
Not sure if it's reviewable but the crowd was booing at the break.
If it's reviewable it's a turnover
Gotta just get it in if you're tyler
Worst game from TyKo in a long time. Hoping that posting that leads to him doing something great down the stretch.
At least Shaka knows that Stevie was awful tonight
Not reviewable

Worries me. No way that should have been a foul.
Only a few guarantees in life...
Death
Taxes
MU fans blaming the refs
Great comeback
I really wish we had one true " big "
Well, on the plus side we can only shoot 1, 1 and 1 at most now.
But of course Oso misses both free throws anyways.

That is what bothers me. The only unacceptable call there was calling it on Kam.
A no call would have made sense. Could have called a charge, but didn't think it warranted it. No way it was on Kam.
WTF is going on?
Too fast for the table, too.
With some of the ticky tack crap called on MU, Bona should have about 25 fouls.
Wow already in the one and one
Officials not distinguishing themselves tonite.
Back in the danger zone for MU here.
Had the 7 pt lead and its now turned into a slog again.
the Jop jack, Oso missed free throws
And fouling them 3 straight possessions.
Have to get it back going.
Terrible swing. We need Tyko to score.
58% on free throws and that doesn't even factor in the opportunities lost on 1 and 1's. I'd say they're shooting themselves in the foot but I'm not sure they would even catch a toe.

MU doesn't think making FT's is important.
Good D. Now execute.
Love point Oso, gets Bona out of the paint
Bona with 4th foul for the 5th time.
Fuuuuuuuuck great fake by CHase woulda been huge if he finished it
But finally 4 on Bona for real
C'mon Chase! Focus!!
We literally cant stop missing free throws.
Fk.
Free throw shooting is horrific tonight.
If they lose ... it's the missed FTs
OMG Ben.
Wanted that three from Ben. Sit Jop
Get Kam back on tbe floor.
Not sure how not a foul on MU about 25 seconds ago. Boy this feels like a late March game.
Gotta be more judicious about shooting the threes.
Jeez Benny
Would been huge but that was way off.
Ucla just doesnt miss at the line
Terrible decision there by Gold to chuck that 3.
Brutal
Cya kam thanks for the 6 seconds
Frustrating. Hate that shot by Jones.
What is the fcking foul there?
I'm furious. Fk.
Up 6 with the ball
Gold and Sean chuck 3s on back to back possessions
And we foul back to back possessions. Now Kam is fouled out.
Just stupid.

Can't happen.
Sean needs to realize he's not a shooter
Back to terrible decisions...
Stop being dumb, please.
Then Chase misses a 3
We are trying to force shoot ourselves out of this
Can Oso for the love of god make free throws?
Needed this media timeout.
Their bigs are on the bench and we stop attacking.
Can they play offense defense with Mitchell for a segment?
Fts no matter?
We're our own worst enemy tonite.
These refs are not having a good game both ways.

That was just terrible shot selection under the circumstances. No excuse.
Bona with summer league foul rules
Kansas will kill either of these teams tomorrow night after the energy they have both expended this game.
Ross or Jop is going to have to make an open shot for us to get this one. Tyko will be smothered.
UCLA basically put in a walk on big as their only big and we started launching 3s with our role players
Sweet Jesus.
Knew that extra point was coming
UCLA gains points out of every time out
Its a tie game
Thought they'd messed that three point call up.
There has to be a statute of limitations for how long you can take for overtiring a call.
3:10 of sustained excellence needed
These idiots have actually given UCLA 3 points minutes after they happened.
Ross, Jones and Gold missed 3s and missed FTs making it really hard to win.
Omg.
We are absolutely gutless at the line
What an f-in bailout there. I guess we are playing UCLA. Reggie Miller would be proud.
3 free throws
You have got to be fcking kidding me!
Wow, all ball. Not even close.
They do not miss free throws.
Ah, Ross did get him. Mack has been excellent.

I thought it was questionable but Ross has to stay on his feet.
No no no no no no no yes!!!!!!
That was a...no no no no, yes!!!
Can't back off Sean 😁
Do not let them take a 3.
If they get a 2. We got time for the win.
I'm shaking!!! Let's Fking Go!!!
And for the love of god do not give up a And 1
Quote from: #UnleashSean on November 21, 2023, 12:42:29 AM

This.
If they are going to let him have it, he's got to make it, arc or no arc on his shot.
Thank goodness he did.
No no no no yes!
"Wht the f*** ar...okay" was the exact quote in our household.
Gotta rebound
YESSSSS!!!!!
Sotg sean. Close thread.
WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!
Survive and advance. Zero expectations for tomorrow.
Holy sh*t.
Warriors!!!!!!!!'
Unbelievable
Cant believe we didnt grab that ball.
But we survived.
Way too much stress. Just make the FTs next time.
Wow. Crazy finish. Sean Jones tip was HUGE.
This is all way too much for November basketball.
Big W. Rest up and get ready for #1 Kansas.
That took years off my life.
This and the Illinois game will serve us well in March - winning games where we didn't play our best and still got the win.
How is NLW doing? Someone should check on him?
Averted disaster. Lots of teaching moments from this one.
Also, stay out of foul trouble, Kam.
The Maui Invitational bracket right now looks like it could be a final 4 bracket.
Holy crap!! Thank you Jesus!

Both with shot clock about to expire.
Ross and Jones won that game for us though despite some Ross mistakes along with all the positive plays.
Thank God for SEAN !!
Huge .. HUGE SHOT !!
And ... this FF will probably be stronger in terms of rankings than the actual FF in March will be

Never a doubt
If I see one more 3 point shooter being fouled this season, I'm going to heave.
Some would say well that's just being aggressive. No. Fouling a 3 point shooter is....just..... being........STUPID.
I believe it's happened 5 times this season in 4 games. Unforgiveable .
