Game will probably start late, as WMU is far too competitive with Butler for their game to end on time.

Ughhhh.
Please end this game.
Let's go MU!!
Did too many bongs, hopefully won't pass out.
Cmon Ben. Focus!
We stink
Quality defensive foot movement by Ben.
Huh, Jop dribbling better in the lane than Kam?
Cmon Ben. Really dumb foul
Should see Willie soon
Chase just ripped that ball outta his hands. Nice
Ugh, Chase landed on side rib cage. That had to hurt
Ben. Make f'ing shots.
Badgers are going to kill us
I love hearing Wes Matthews on the color commentary today. He's already compared Chase Ross to Jerel McNeal due to his nose for the ball on defense.
Whoa. Jop does that from that spot every so often.

Gotta get Kam involved
Air ball for Jop. Sight lines must be tough after playing at the Al - shouldn't have played there against George Mason.

Mount Ararat.
Do we just not practice wide open shots in practice with Ben and Jop? I have no idea how they miss so badly so frequently with no one within a mile of them.
Stevie def looks better in the early 4 min. Good aggressive D and a nice take for the lone bucket
Wes as color commentator: So far making John Madden seem like he was balanced while talking about Brett Favre. I'm totally fine with it
Stop with the dumb fouls
Caedin with 2 in like 10 seconds
Caedin with a freshman foul.
Now 2

Who was that foul on?
Brutal start on O.
Kam with 2 unlike Kam TOs.
Everyone missing open looks. And we've missed Kam off screens multiple times for open looks.

I think the court might be a different length too
Why aren't we blowing these guys out
Central's defense is legit.
Awful
Quote from: THRILLHO on November 11, 2024, 08:19:52 PMI think the court might be a different length too
It's not.
It seems to me we are overdribbling in the h-c and playing a click too fast.
8:00 in and Kam is shotless, much less scoreless
Good D. No O yet
Ben is a total disaster. Open misses. So he passes up another shot. Dribbles like a guy who cant walk and chew bubble gum. Luckily is bumped.
He's got to figure it out fast
Why did Stevie go to the other side of the rim there?
Ben can dunk?
There we go Ben. Take advantage of the guy gambling. Dunk it home
Defensively I'm not too worried; but the offensive struggles outside of Kam are gonna be brutal this season if this continues.
Joplin has been way too streaky during his tenure at MU to be reliable. Who does that leave???
Kam should have given that up earlier to Mitchell. We're a bit out of sorts.
There we go, Benny.
Quote from: MUEng92 on November 11, 2024, 08:23:29 PMBen can dunk?

Alright. Enough of this. Let's take control of this game.
Quote from: The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole on November 11, 2024, 08:27:11 PMAged well. 🙄
Actually it can only age perfectly.
He either stays an erratic mess. Or his one dunk figures it out quickly as stated.
Ooh, I'd hate for my boss to give me the look Shaka just gave Jop after the brain dead pass
Chase is a difference maker. Such a menace
Good grief. An off the ball foul on Ben?
Royce!! Let's go now!
Nm
Royce finally hits one.
Hope that gets his outside shot going
Chase again.
There's a Kam look
Great D and zip pass from Ross.
This team is very impressive on D. They can be very dangerous when/if this offense jells.
Nice 3 by Parham.... Let's see more of that!
Royce!!!
ROYCE!!!!
I'll save my bitchin about refs for later but that didn't hit Kam before rolling out of bounds. I'm sure it looked like it did from where the ref was but, no
Incredible potential in Parham. This guy can be an All-American player. He and Owens may be a very special class.
Great run boys.
Chase is playing fantastic and don't think he has even an actual field goal attempt yet
Another excellent decision by Chase. Let's freaking go!!!!
Chase is so damn disruptive.

Yup. But to be fair I was surprised when seeing the replay that it didn't. That was a tough one.
What's the school record for number of steals in a game?
Quote from: Tyler COLEk on November 11, 2024, 08:36:30 PMIncredible potential in Parham. This guy can be an All-American player. He and Owens may be a very special class.
I'm not saying he's going to be as good, let me repeat, I'm not saying it at all, but I told a coworker, something about Parham reminds me of Grant Hill in college.

CMU just sucks
Hell yea

He plays with such reckless abandon. I hold my breath any time he's involved in the play.
Quote from: Uncle Rico on November 11, 2024, 08:40:29 PMMight be one-post night for Willie
Really the only downside to a good Marquette performance.
If Owens hits the ground running this team will be real fun. Rebounding and ability to get to the line much improved from last year. Unsurprising with Kolek and Oso leaving.
Kam is so locked in mentally on offense it's absurd. Shades of TK from a focus perspective.
Espn has Chase credited with 2 steals
I feel like that's about 9 short
Quote from: Johnny B on November 11, 2024, 08:40:49 PMCMU just sucks
They've actually got some talent. Doesn't matter if you cannot hold on to the ball though.
The MU record for most steals is 18 set in 2012 against DePaul. We have 11 so far tonight
Quote from: Johnny B on November 11, 2024, 08:40:49 PMCMU just sucks
They can play some D outside some of the dumb fouling.
But their offense is very much not equipped for us
15 turnovers for CM. Wow
Crazy that Kam is so meh at the line. His one offensive flaw ha.
Not watching, but just read the first couple pages. I assume we have since conceded the game and quit basketball ?
Quote from: Uncle Rico on November 11, 2024, 08:39:03 PMExcellent. I'm meeting with Ken Griffin tomorrow so I need to be focused

Quote from: Newsdreams on November 11, 2024, 08:45:59 PMHerm going to be there?
No, we don't need someone to serve us drinks
Ross has been everywhere defensively.
Here comes the CMU run
Zaide needs to stop with airballs
Zaide's last 3 threes have all been 5ft too long.
Is there some wind from the left corner?
Sloppy few mins. Time to refocus.
Shaka doesn't look like a coach up by 18. Apparently, not a super fan of between the legs passes

It's fine. Feels like a baseball blowout game where the announcers just talk. That's the vibe and if you take it in that way it's pretty good.
Nice take Zaide
Great pass by Hamilton there
Rushed the tip in right after. But very nice pass from the post

Shorter court affected Lowery too

I don't understand why we have to play fast and fly downhill every possession. Especially vs a set defense. I get wanting to play at a fast tempo but we are out of control. What the F is the rush? Set up the offense and get a good look.

They way he was limping I though banged Knee. But obviously as we saw, no contact
Royce's mom says "He's fine put his ass back in" on Twitter. 😂
There ya go. That's how to attack their weak ass zone.
Brick!!
There we go Ben
Ben!!! Finally
Don't like the way Royce was walking back to the bench after a noncontact situation. Lots of ACL's are like that.

Creepy
This is so bad. Kam is in no scoring rhythm. And we cant do anything offensively in the half court
That's as bad of a defensive play as I've seen from Stevie
It's just ugly. Especially if they don't turn it over.
5 fouls already
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on November 11, 2024, 09:34:59 PMThis is so bad. Kam is in no scoring rhythm. And we cant do anything offensively in the half court
Terrible. Awful play by Jop
Didn't that bounce out of bounds when Jop lost it
Jop being this inconsistent as a senior is insane
Cant dribble or make anything tonight. Brutal
Jop airballed his first 3 and has been way off on all his shots.
Why is Gold still shooting? Seriously, why?
Ben Gold is the death of this team
Just a total zero right now
Jesus... did not expect a single digit ball game with 11 minutes to play. wtf
Very frustrating game
This is starting to look like a game that's going to the wire.
Foul trouble with no depth and CMU is getting good looks on every trip.
We better wake the F up. Absolutely inexcusable 2nd half.
1-7 three point shooting is enough to say, it's not your night, pass the ball
Can Shaka
Quote from: MUEng92 on November 11, 2024, 09:38:00 PMWhy is Gold still shooting? Seriously, why?
Absolutely killing us. Especially because he's not doing anything but spot shoot triples. I'm at a total loss right now.
For 3:34 we played like the #1 team in the nation. For the rest we look sub 200.
Sorry, I'm harping on Gold when he and Jop are a combined 1-13. 1-13!!
Where is Willie?
Ben is killing me.
Ugly half for MU but I expect we will go on a spurt and win by 20+.
Kam has missed his last 5 shots. Not getting consistent looks either.
Just a terrible terrible game ever since the run
Wow....Gold has had a rough start to year and doesn't look like he had improved at all. That sophomore class also killing us, nothing off the bench. Friday will be interesting
Stevie biffed lay up. They drill a 3.
Down to 5. Pathetic'
Now a Ross missed lay up
Unfreaking real. Getting our asses whooped right now.
This would be an apocalyptic loss. Can't believe what I'm seeing
What are we we doing???
Just throwing it up at the rim
Why is Gold the only one ready to shoot when they catch the ball and he can't shoot
Can't make a shot. Fking Focus!!!
7 fouls for MU. 3 for CMU.
Settle down. Play our game
What is going on? Why are free throw rebounds hitting the floor?
Another moronic foul by Caedin

If you aren't going to use the portal then guys gotta improve. It's super early but the early returns on Jop, Gold, all the sophomores ain't great
I'm an idiot hoping I'd be able to go to bed early tonight.
Pretty nasty commentary in this thread ripping some of our guys. Be better Scoop!
Jop is a joke.
Nc State all over again. Just shooting like a jackass
Catch the ball!
Omg. Jop wont stop literally losing the game
Absolutely brutal. Totally out of control.
I was ready to compliment Jop for knowing it's not his shooting night and passing up an3, then he drove and did that?
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on November 11, 2024, 09:51:26 PMJop is a joke.

Good grief. Travel!! How do you miss that????
Jop and Gold: wow bad.
Now I'm bitchin about the refs. They haven't not called that travel in 3 years
Is Driscoll in the house?
Absolutely disgusting shooting from Jop and Ben.
I hope it's cramping. Wow.
Classic jop a super star one game horrible the next one

The only remaining goal for this game is to try to avoid one of the most embarrassing losses in program history.
When you have a 22 point lead against a 27 point underdog, you should win.

There was just no way Ben was making back to back
Unreal foul from Stevie. What the hell are they doing?
Awful foul. What the H??
Jop misses again ahaha
Sometimes I wonder about the coaching staff and the offense. Jop and gold don't have it tonight, yet how many offensive possessions are they just launching?
19 3s attempted from the 4/5 spot, 17 attempted from the 1-3 spots.
Seems like coach should revisit that
Another ridiculous shot. Very frustrating.
He has to keep stepping into them? Really Wes?
Defense is going to have to win this game
