Snowing pretty good here in Germantown this morning.
A good inch or two here in Richland County.
Game Day!!

Western Kentucky is evil...
WKU reminds me a little of Murray State with their age and how they get up and down the floor. Luckily they don't have anyone name Ja on their team.
How's everybody feeling!!! LET'S GOOOOO!!

I've got tremendous energy Rico!!! And I put in four 12 hour days this week. Wake up! It's GOOOOO time! Grab yourself a 100% Pure Kona Coffee and prepare for the tip-off in about 2 hrs.
Wish this work call would end so I can fire up a bloody mary.
Gotta rebound today and attack with relentless and merciless fury. :)

Nor are they 30-3 which is what Porky's recollection of what Murray State's record was going into the game with us. By no means is Porky suggesting we shouldn't take WKU seriously. Of course we should! They're a formidable opponent like everyone else in this thing. Just sayin....

Okay. I was just trying to help.
The line has moved to -15.
The degenerates like us.
I'm a little disappointed to see they are wearing the white uniforms. I assume it's mandated due to being higher seed
LFG!!!!!
How's everyone feeling?
My poor dog thinks this is just any old afternoon and he followed me downstairs and is laying on the couch next to me. I warned him I'm here to watch sports. He'll run upstairs when I start yelling
I feel fantastic!!! LET'S DO THIS!!
I'm in! So wasted not sure which team is which!!!
I wasn't really paying attention. Did the studio guys just discuss HOW Kolek would get reinjured and not if he would?
I think this is the right team?
Am I the last to see Shaka in a Dick's Sporting Goods commercial or was that new?
They aren't huge
We can't hang with them
We are an elite rebounding team, like I've been saying
TYKO!!!
Jop not ready for the speed of this game yet. Needs to crank it up
Feels like this is going to the wire. They look solid
Getting hurt off the bounce and are a little 3 happy. Attack! Oso needs to be aggressive.
Jop and Kam off early.
Let's go now!
We have definitely got to stay in front of them, they have no fear on offense. I think they are a bit helter skelter and we can't turn it over. Great to see TyKo make a couple!
Kam hasn't shown himself in the game yet.

Not sure why we are not attacking.

They're pretty quick

Yes.
Cmon Kam. Focus.
Kam too worried about the defender than making the layup
Kam is playing like this game is at the rec center.
Kam needs to get it going.
Kam fing around
Man Oso has it deep so many times and refuses to go up and hammer it home
Kam needs to wake up. Game started.
Oso also needs to be much, much. much, more aggressive. They have no size.
WKU has looked very composed for a 15-seed so far. Need to turn them over and we need to get some easy buckets.
Annoying
What???
C'mon Oso
Ramsey head thoroughly up his ass. Only guy that came to play is Kolek.

Let's keep attacking and get to the line.

Focus!!!!!
This is terrible.
Make a free throw tre
Pretty frustrating start and brickinh FT's. Let's go now!
I'm starting to hate the very concept of free throws
Is anyone decent at the line on this team damn
Somebody needs to step up, or does Kolek need to carry the team.
Keep attacking
Hopefully that gets Kam going.
Maybe that gets Kam going.
Make a free throw.

I've been scolded by a few fellow idiots on Scoop that FT's no matta
Deep breath, keep working, step up the energy
I thought their big guy traveled before dropping it off
At least FT's don't matta.
1/5 from the line isn't helpful.
Certainly hasn't been a pretty start.
Every single time they do something good.
They miss a free throw. Turn it over. Let WKU score.
One positive is 6 fouls for WKU but you have to convert. Their quickness is giving us probs but our ball movement is not particularly good in the h-court.

The ft shooting so far is nothing short of atrocious. UConn would be up on this team by double digits already.
1-5 from the line.
Awful defense by Marq so far and obviously the free throws are mental blockers. They're feeling the pressure and nerves, not a good sign
Kam, get your head out of your ass. Or is that why you did not fare well in BEast accolades.
Clearly just a bit tight. They loosen up they'll be just fine. They don't, game on.
Why isn't Kolek bringing the ball up?

Hard to do when you're not in the game.
Oso's passive play on offense is concerning. He's got to take over inside.
MU looks extremely tight.
Shaky ball handling and nobody but Kolek can make a shot.
Free throws matter too. In this case they are showing how tight the team is. The misses aren't even close.

Jop and Kam contesting whose head is further embedded in their ass. Wait, Reeker wins.
God it must be miserable in Willie's head. And I'm speaking as someone who's been there before. Deep breaths, man. We're on pace to win by 30. They are getting looser after seeing some go through.
Already 9 TO's by WKU. Keep the D pressure on high and we'll win by 20
Oso should be able to score inside vs this team. Be patient and attack.
Defensively find Marshall.
Hard to completely mesh after a month off. Good opening opponent.

Free throws shooting is impossibley bad

Does MU a really have a play to dribble into a triple team and stop?
Ramsey headstill up his ass along with Osos
Why do bad 3-point shooting team always shoot lights out against us.
I was told they didn't shoot threes well and I knew not to believe it
And now we're leaving 3 pt shooters wide open...ay yi yi
Now they are blacking out
I have no idea what's been going on with Oso.
Now even TK missing 1 and 1s
Glad we got the soft Oso today. Look like Tarzan play like Jane.
Wow. Cmon Oso.
Oso might want to consider using year 5
Wtf is going on
Jop not making 3's nor defending. Beautiful.
I hate basketball
Not a good stretch. At all.
Get jobs ass on the bench. He is adding nothing except dung. This is a 15 seed beating our ass
What a pile of dung.
This appears to be a typical Marquette NCAA tourney game. We'll see if they can squeak it out. No other 2 seed had any problems dominating their opponent. When the lights are brightest...
This is a fu cking embarrassment
Our road ends here if Ighodaro doesn't emerge.
An absolute 0 so far. Now we are visibly rattled.
Whoooole lot of soft out there right now
Wku dominating all facets
Getting out worked
We're in trouble...WKU easily put that run on us. Wow

I'm happy the WKU fans are having a good time
They are playing lights out, we are playing super soft and only down 1. We will eventually roll them.
MU definitely not being the aggressor. I know FT's don't matta, but they definitely matter. MU should be trying to push the ball, get it inside, and keep WK racking up fouls.
MU playing very poorly on D. Jop can't cover anyone. Oso not finishing strong. MU's tightness is palpable. Marshall looking like Felix.
Every deep run starts a struggle in game 1.
Playing like scared to lose rather than just pouncing them
Their overall quickness is really bothering us when they don't turn it over. Our offense has been way too 3 reliant. I'm the h-c. Gotta move the basketball and go downhill. Oso with a tough half but we need to find a way to get easier baskets.

The problem is they aren't. They are just outplaying us. More aggressive, more focused, more composed.
That last series with them getting a steal and hitting a 3 shows it.
Oso GRAB THE F'ING BALL
Willie is right for once - this is dung.
WTF are they doing?
Wow. So sloppy and not getting to loose balls.
They look better at every position wrf
We are playing lazy basketball.
😂😂😂😂 which of these teams is the 2 and which is the 15?
This is ridiculous, these aren't even forced turnovers.
We are playing like crap and need to get our act together.
If Oso isn't going to try, can we just play Al at the 5?
Quote from: MUEng92 on March 22, 2024, 01:49:44 PM

Yes.
We have 9 turns. Better wake the F up. NOW.
Oso is doing more harm than good
What an embarrassment. Over ranked, over seeded and under coached.
It's TK and a bunch of guys scared of the moment
That last sequence summed it up. Chase drives erratic To.
Two loose ball turnovers. Stevie panick throwing to no on.
Drill a 3.
Are we drunk?
Never underestimate your opponent.
The only accurate thing to be said is that we are a team completely wilting under the pressure.
Classic Shaka in march. Blown out to a 15 seed. Fuckin sick
Playing so dumb right now.
Team looks terrified
A 2 seed should not be on the wrong end of a 24-5 run.
Wow. This is Wojo bad.
Man, what a letdown of a stretch. I think we win, but man what is going on will all the turnovers. Totally unacceptable stretch of basketball
This is just so sad.
Kolek has the "fine I'll do it myself " look and I think he's going to need to do it himself
Kolek should stop passing the ball
Getting crushed right on both ends of the floor.

And the two #2 seed teams yesterday won by 20 and 24.........
MU too many threes, 9 turnovers, out hustled, missed free throws. This guy Marshal can't keep it up. But I hope not, the nine point lead gone. 24 to 5 run against this team and another three missed by Gold. And another miss by Mitchell.
Better not lose this one. Long way to go. though
It's literally TK
He's the only one
I'll see you guys next year great season
There we go, start chaining stops and we can close out the half

And we don't need a fucking transfer next year???!!!!!
They are really quick.
Hey,
Let's keep getting passes from TK and missing wide open shots!
Why does kolek keep passing when he has an easy lay up?
Welp....that was an embarrassing half of basketball.
We're missing open shots but we're way too impatient and three happy. Getting basically nothing in the paint.
Choking under pressure.

No. This isn't a roster issue. It's a mental one.
If Tyler wasn't playing the deficit would be 20+.. I don't think we are who we thought we were.
It's 43-36. Take away Kolek and we'd be down 20+
Suck from 3, suck from the line, and multiple blown bunnies. If it ends like this, what a pity.
The one thing you don't want to do is let the underdog feel comfortable and like they can win, and it's exactly what we did.
We need to come out and turn them over a ton in the 2nd half.
We are making WKU look like UCONN.

Quote from: Jockey on March 22, 2024, 01:55:47 PM

No. This isn't a roster issue. It's a mental one.
So we need an entire new program?
WKU is playing like this game matters for some reason. MU playing like it's a closed door scrimmage
Tough eight minutes, good last few possessions. When we work, we win. We need to work WAY harder
26-10 the last 8 1/2 minutes. Inexcusable
5 for 19 from three. Joplin and Gold 2 for 9.
8 turnovers
5 for 12 from free throw line, with a missed front end.
Have to clean that up, MU caused 11 turnovers and still getting smoked. That guy Marshal can't keep it up.

He is not ready for the NBA and is proving it, just like he did against UConn.
Reminds of early season losses with lots of missed open 3s
I'm just shocked at that run: how do you explain. Them playing out of their minds like never before? Marquettes worse stretch of the season?
Going big was a bad idea. They couldn't guard the perimeter, WKU started hitting shots, and started rolling.
Oso is a huge problem in his head right now. He needs to figure it out.
It's beyond frustrating how they came out today. No idea what Kam was doing to start the game. That blown layup attempt...wtf was that? Most of these turnovers are unexplainable. The free throw shooting has been atrocious.
Other than that, everything else is great.
Oso is gonna play in the NBA?
Some people get cute when game threads melt down when we're losing to a lesser team but this demands a meltdown!
A different MU team better walk out the second half.
WKU not going to fold but we are a lot better than this.
I was called a troll last week when I said when the lights are brightest Marquette shrinks. I said just wait until next week and I was attacked. They may still win this game but no one should have any confidence in this team in March. Give this had been a decade plus issue, we need to question not just this team but is there something with the program that needs to change? We changed coaches and for all Shaka's success, Marquette continues to shrink in March.
They have a lot of size and speed. Marquette struggling to get good looks it's shocking. They are not playing anything near a 15 seed. Probably the best first half from a 15 ever.
Ummmm .... Lots of this IS on SHAKA

This is HORRIBLE

I truly don't think so. It wasn't personnel. They were confused and not communicating defensively. We've been so good defensively lately because of aggressiveness and communication. We didn't do either.
Come out strong and use it as a springboard. First five mins will tell us a lot.

Nothing demands a meltdown. But your second paragraph is spot on.
Feels like we already lost with the level of scatter going on out there.
They went down 9 and answered with a punch. We went down 1 and panicked.

Like in the BET last year against national champion UConn? Or against a top 10 Xavier.
Kam and Oso need to show up.
Shaka is getting outcoached.
Stop chucking 3s.
Take and finish in the paint.
Defend the 2 guys who are lights out.
It's been the same all season, the entire team disappears for long stretches. A ton of missed shots. There is no one on this team that can fill the gap.

I hear this every year. Some how Marquette always gets the team that plays way better than their seed. At some point you maybe have to accept the issue is with Marquette.
So far the issue today has been Marquette. Acting like that's always the case is insane.
Bewildered by Oso. Not even looking at the basket. That push shot is there and he hasn't attempted one.
Nightmare of a 1st half...hard to even believe.
I think we'll adjust but their speed and length are trouble. Need OSO to get involved
What a bunch of kitten posters.
Quote from: The Sultan of Semantics on March 22, 2024, 01:59:08 PM
Going big was a bad idea. They couldn't guard the perimeter, WKU started hitting shots, and started rolling.
It was. Jop isn't guarding anyone and isn't scoring to compensate. WKU is just too quick for him. Launching 3s is killing them. The FT shooting continues to be inexcusable.
The bottom line is we were totally outplayed for the last 8 mins or so. And if we're just going to jack up threes we're in trouble. Yes, we've missed wide open ones, but we're essentially getting zero in the paint. And then to add insult to injury they got a little hot from the arc and our defense broke down.

Like in the BET last year against national champion UConn? Or against a top 10 Xavier.
And they followed that up by wilting in the NCAAs. So in the end the BE tourney meant very little.
Quote from: Johnny B on March 22, 2024, 02:00:23 PM
They have a lot of size and speed. Marquette struggling to get good looks it's shocking. They are not playing anything near a 15 seed. Probably the best first half from a 15 ever.
Strongly disagree. They've had outstanding looks from 3
Sooooi much COLE!!!!
Pace affected our defense some. 24 playing out of his mind. Chase playing like garbage.
Gonna need to ride Kolek, Kam, Stevie. Oso neesds to step up. Would like to see a little more Zaide. His length and athleticism wouod br a good fit to defend 24.

I'm pretty sure it's only hard for you to believe. I told you last week just wait.
Outside of a major injury, that was about the worst case scenario half. And we're only down 7. Need to come out of the half a new team. Kam and especially Oso need to figure it the F out. Plenty of game left.

It's beyond frustrating how they came out today. No idea what Kam was doing to start the game. That blown layup attempt...wtf was that? Most of these turnovers are unexplainable. The free throw shooting has been atrocious.
Other than that, everything else is great.
Thank God Kolek is back. Without him we'd be down 20. Some guy who averages 8 points is killing us. Zero from Oso. Less than that from Ross. Still, if we just made free throws the game could be about tied.

"If you ignore the tournament wins over top 10 teams, they haven't had good tournament performances"
Conference tournaments are not equal to THE tournament. To pretend it is is silly. Just look how everyone on this board said rest Kolek during the BE tourney. Save him for when it really matters.
UConn Huskies fan here. FWIW, our fanbase likes Marquette a lot and are pulling for your team. Marquette is bricking too many open 3s from Kolek's penetration kick outs. But the biggest issue is the live ball turnovers and defense. Marquette is at their best when they pressure in the half court getting up into the opposing teams' face and forcing deflections and turnovers. They have to tighten up their D big time. Still another half to go, though.
Until 3:22 when the UConn-Stetson game starts,...
"We are Marquette, we are Marquette!"
Just come out in the second half and play ball. I have full confidence the fellas will step it up.
Kolek is going to have to go probably close to all 20 minutes in the second half.
I'm ok not seeing much (if any) of Tre in the second half. That rotation is going to need to be short.

Pretty good analysis, I'd say. Marquette must establish a defensive edge for the remaining 20 minutes of this game.
I will go on record to say, despite this I still believe Marquette will win this game. However, there should be serious doubts about their ability to make a deep run.
Confident, but I'm drunk & high so wtf I know

He won't be able to go 20, but Kam needs to be on ball when he sits. Agree on Tre. Starting five, Ben and Chase. Ben looks ready. Chase doesn't but they need a 7th.
Kam does need to be better. Especially with his free throw shooting.
But he had a 5 minute stretch where he went into attack mode. Then we subbed him and things went south.
Oso on the other hand. Looks like he's Ohtanis inside man

I kind of disagree. I'm worried about the second half. No guarantee they figure it out. If they do, I expect them to come out Sunday with fire.
This would be worse than Miami (O).
Please don't let it happen, guys.
If they made their free throws it would be tied or close.
It's the turnovers leading to points and chucking up 19 threes and not hitting. On pace for almost 40 threes. But again, that's Shaka philosophy, don't mind them shooting.
Get them in foul trouble, god, I hate saying that against WKU, really....... Shaka reeling them in lockeroom and keep Norman and Lowery on bench. Norman missed wide open three and then missed two free throws.
They can do this...

There are serious doubts. Happy? Don't get some of your posts. We're all aware of shakas record in march.
Kind of fumbling for answers, but recently, there has not been a player to carry Marquette through the tough stretches in the NCAA. Vander Blue seems to have been the last player.

I disagree slightly. I'm worried about this game. If we survive and advance, I'm more confident on a deep tourney run, because they would already have had their "big scare".
Get this one done, and go deep.

Good analysis. Our on ball defense hasn't been strong. Their pace has affected our rotations some it seems too.
First 4 minutes out of halftime will be big toward deciding how the game is going to go.
Huge stop and basket by Gold to close the half.
Tyler needs to be more aggressive looking for his shot.
Regroup.
Down 7 but easily could have been 11 or 12. Big difference psychologically (on both sides).

Agree on the second paragraph.
Re: their pace. We struggled with it, but I think we struggled in our heads more than the actual pace. Not mentally in the right spot.
I think BM1090 mentioned it, but these first 5 minutes are huge. If MU gets down 10-12 at the 15 minute mark, my confidence level will be very low. If MU is within a possession, we should be alright.
Live line is MU -210.
The defense has been the biggest issue and when you combine that with a guy doubling his season average in the f'n 1st half, that's a problem.
Combine it with Oso disappearing, Jop being bad, and leaving 3-4 points at the FT line, you put yourself in a bad position.
They get the ball 1st. Need a really good first 4 minutes of the 2nd half.

I'm actually planning on us going on a 12-0 run to start the half and are up by the 15-minute mark.
We were in the bonus about halfway through first half and did little except avoid contact and chuck up threes. That's bad
That's what we need to see from Oso! LFG!!
Joplin is playing like he's wearing cement shoes.
I want to see Stevie punch someone in the face
If that Stevie play doesn't fire up this team
There is no hope
Big play by Stevie there. Let's go now!!
How was that a foul but Kolek's drive wasn't?
Much better energy
LET'S F*CKING GO
Can't let up now.
Now we roll
It's not good enough to tie them.Keep this up the rest of the 2nd half!!
Good start. Keep it going
Two MASSIVE plays by Mitchell. LFG!!! Attack the freaking rim and increase the intensity!!
Stevie maximum effort play.
Made a run, time for another. Can't have this be a back and forth affair.
Different team so far. Give me 16 more minutes of this
Flex on em!!
Well it wasn't 12-0, but I'll take 12-5. Now, lets roll out another run. Let's go on a 10-0 run out of this time out.
If we win, that's the Play of the Year by Stevie. No doubt.
Crap. I got on the treadmill at halftime to burn some energy and now I'm going to have to stay on it the whole 2nd half

What??? WTF??? Not a foul.
Jop is bringing it so far in the 2nd half. Rebounds, shots. Please keep it up
Step on their throats now
I love that shot from Kam. All day.
Kolek doesn't have to be great in this game...just win and get in a groove. I like what I see. Rest of team needs to be consistently good.
Gotta give credit where credit is due, Jop has been awesome. Oso is baffling, is it because he is against another "Oso" and can't separate himself quickness and skill wise?
Starting in the 2d half against UCONN, Oso has missed a lot of those shots in the lane. Not sure why?
Omg Oso. Finish a 4 footer.
Oso is so hesitant on offense. Frustrating.

Take it to the f'n basket.
WKU looks like they are close to breaking, keep the foot on the gas!
The game plan is pretty simple at this point. Now it's just about playing smart and making good decisions
Gotta stop settling - too many drives into the paint where they don't even look at the hoop.
It's amazing, when MU gets sloppy, they have like 4 straight possessions of sloppiness at both ends.
Finally. Attack the fking rim.

Unreal. Oso absolutely killing us.

Oso has been awful. Mitchell has been a godsend
Holy crap, I slammed the treadmill after a bad play and the remote popped out of the bottle rest and crashed to the floor. It wouldn't work and the guide was stuck on the screen. Took 5 minutes of game time to re-pair it

Can't extend lead because Jop and Gold are 4 for 15 from three. Most misses when up five .Horrendous, along with letting have WKU four straight five footers to keep it close. Give Jop credit for being tough on boards
But have the lead thanks to Kam and Mitchell. Crazy good. Let's finish. Free throws....

Oso may be hurt. He's struggled defensively as well.

Agree. His defense has been sub-optimal as well.

Looked like he just fell over
Let's go now!!
Gonna cover
Scary for a while, but we look so much better now! Let's go Marquette!
BAM!!
Time to exhale - a fantastic second half from everyone not named Oso.
Nice job, boys! Way to step it up!
As a side note I absolutely cannot stand Purdue fans.
Joplin ate a snickers at half
Turned it off. Did Marquette comeback?
I'm going to have to spend the rest of the night going back and deleting every negative Jop post I've put out there. It's going to be a long night

He dud but it was a good reach in after the fall. :)
Play the starters as many minutes as possible this tourney. Take our 5 vs anyone.
MU played well and WKU melted away under pressure. Better teams won't melt so I hope we keep our stuff together. Against better teams that first half is death.
I would say up 17 with two to go is pretty much a lock..
Thanks Kam, Tyler and Stevie, with kudos to Joplin, who was tough and finally made huge three to up lead
No Norman and Lowery in second half, went with the big boys.
Next game is Ross and Oso turn.
Give it to him!
Get oso and kolek out pleas
Stevie Mitchell = Warrior
Count that!! :)
I'm confident in a win now.
What a turnaround! Jop was much better on D in the 2nd half. Stevie was sensational.
I'll have you know, I only stopped the treadmill to pick up the pieces of my remote. I'm sweating way more than Kolek
Kudos to Shaka for shortening the rotation. No Norman, very little Ross and Gold in the second half.
99.9 win probability

That waa an impressive 2H.
See you next game fartley
Warriors revealed.
WKU with 26 2H points. :)

Can you go back through the whole thread and get a final total on Willie butt stuff?
I'm good if Mitchell plays like that for the next five (5) games.

Based on this performance, something is obviously wrong. Pure dung.
Even if we pull it out, which is highly doubtful, this is obviously embarrassing.
A 15 seed.
This aged well...
Interesting who stopped posting once MU remembered how good they are.
I agree with SVG and wrote it in the thread. The sequence with those 2 stls from Stevie really flipped the game. What a Warrior that kid is.
Petition to retire Stevie's jersey
Covered.

Honestly think Shaka was playing the long game going deep into the bench but had to adjust on the fly. I didn't hate the idea of it especially as banged up as we are.

Stetson had 19 but UConn had 52......at half
I hope all the kitten POSTERS in the first half are doing ok now
This will go down as one of the most classic Scoop game feeds.

Don't take foot off the gas - comebacks do happen
This feels like a key thread in the story arc of big willie. Getting pretty close to NLM/Farley territory now.
Nice win fellas. That's the way to finish off a #15 seed after a rough first half. I am sure seeing Kam Jones light it up was a welcome sight for you all.
Hope Farley is crying in his beer right now!
Just woke up, did MU win? They have score board 0/0 Colorado/Gators wtf soo wasted
Great 2nd half by warriors. Kolek, Kam Jop and Mitchell stepped up. Oso was atrocious.
We defended better, stopped turning the ball over and attacked the basket instead of chucking 3s. You wish those adjustments happened earlier but they were made and we executed..
Ready for another war on Sunday.

Speaking of Ross.. absolute zero today.. need him to give something out there..
There was one point in the second half when the announcer said " Ben Gold is checking out." There were four people in the room and they simultaneously said "Good."
Credit me for the second half come back. I did not watch the second half. But I have a good reason, my wife picked an inopportune time to get checked out of the hospital. Will have to go watch the recording. Shaka must have used a dung remover at half.

Yep. The season was on the line and they're our best players.
Ben was fine today.
What are you going to complain about other than missing some shots?
Ben was fine today in limited minutes.
Gold played 13 minutes, hit a few threes, but missed five pretty open ones. Made a nice basket at end of first half for momentum
Ross played 14 minutes and I can't recall any plays he made. It's his and Oso's time next game.

It was clear the Chase's shoulder was bothering him in his short floor time in the second half - hope he didn't reinjure it.

This thread needs to be locked and burned from what everyone was saying at half.
Great win! My local bar put up the Marquette flag I brought - and wow! Yeah!!!
Whiner Dung Willie's Ass Count: 6
Congrats to those that bet the over.
What a piece of sh!t:
Ramsey head thoroughly up his ass. Only guy that came to play is Kolek.
Somebody needs to step up, or does Kolek need to carry the team.
Kam, get your head out of your ass. Or is that why you did not fare well in BEast accolades.
Ramsey head thoroughly up his ass. Only guy that came to play is Kolek. (Ed: Yes, he posted this twice).
Jop and Kam contesting whose head is further embedded in their ass. Wait, Reeker wins.
Bad idea
Ramsey headstill up his ass along with Osos
Get jobs ass on the bench. He is adding nothing except dung. This is a 15 seed beating our ass
What a pile of dung.
Oso is not ready for big time.
Shaka not ready for prime time either. A 15 seed.
What an embarrassment. Over ranked, over seeded and under coached.
He is not ready for the NBA and is proving it, just like he did against UConn.

There is no doubt. They won't.

He needs to do something positive
Some people don't know basketball.
P.S. Who the unnatural carnal knowledge is Ramsey??

Classic Shaka in march. Blown out to a 15 seed. unnatural carnal knowledgein sick
Dude. Will you ever learn?
Same question: who the heck is Ramsey?
That was a pretty good Clip Notes version of the thread.
But it is a game thread, so I expect nothing less.
If I took every in-game comment seriously, the Packers would have benched Favre in 1993, the Red Sox would have benched Big Pappy in the play-offs in 2004, and Wojo would still be coaching the Warriors.
Don't get me started on Rec League hockey.
