Everyone Happy Now?

[4everwarriors]

Otule starts tonight and is holding his own. EWill obviously got out of Buzz' stinkhouse and contributing. Yous didn't play in the first half. Maybe we can bitch about that. And, for all the Crean lovers, IU didn't lose to a nobody today.

[MU B2002]

yes, i am.  Thank you for asking.  Although i was hoping we could hold them under 10.

[ChicosBailBonds]

I am happy, though I know nothing about this team yet since we've played 3 absolute stiffs.  We might be good, we might not be, who knows.  Probably find out next weekend when we play someone for real. 

PS  I'm not against the schedule we've played thus far, it makes sense considering how young we are and the roster turnover.

Nice dunk by Otule....announcers giving him some props too....

[ChicosBailBonds]

I didn't realize that Centenary actually beat Grambling this year already...at Grambling.  But Grambling did get a nice win over Paul Quinn College.

Our schedule strength is 299 right now, before playing Grambling who is ranked in the 300's.  LOL.  I'll bet we have the worst schedule strength in the country after tonight's schedule.

To be sincerely honest, I don't think Grambling could beat some Community Colleges, thats how bad this competition is.

How Hayward got 4 fouls again so quick against this team is a scary thought.

Good practice, lots of lineup changes, Buycks and all guards played great.

Bad things - Maymon non-existent and Buzz really getting into E Will's face in huddle until the point Hayward had to pull Buzz back twice.  Thought it would be a Bobby Knight explosion for a minute.

Ominous?

More bad things:
Grambling shot 83.3% from the free throw line. We were already 340th in free throw defense at 80.1%. Now, we sink even lower.

Probably should consult Skiles. He's got this figured out.

[4everwarriors]

Wouldn't you just love to be Buzz' drycleaner? The dude soils more clothing in 2 hours than most of us do in a month.

[AZWarrior]

Its said that you cannot coach free throw defense.  A team either has it or not.

Although a well placed fan with a powerful strobe might contribute in a positive fashion, I think.

He might consider wearing a T-shirt......

[pbiflyer]

Oh and I am not happy that my predictions totally sucked. Was close on 3, way, way, way, way off on the rest.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Ding ding ding....who the hell wears a shirt and tie without a t-shirt underneath.  I thought that was just common knowledge and a MUST.  Maybe it's a Texas thing.

Wouldn't you know from Texas things?

[ChicosBailBonds]

Wouldn't you know from Texas things?

I haven't lived there in 30+ years....

This might help

LOL...We don't practice free throws, and it's obvious we don't practice free throw defense.

Bruce Pearl starter kit?

[4everwarriors]

Nah, if the truth be told, Bruce just actually pees himself.

I think Bruce's sweat has a beer "head" on it from partying with the young kids!

better sweat than being I4, he just shits his pants in big games.

Nice visual.

It is nice to have an end to the EWill conspiracy theories.   He got sick, missed some practices and then didn't practice with the intent and intensity Buzz wanted.   Message sent, message received and acted on.  Came out of my seat on his first dunk.     It was nice to see Buycks acting like a Jerel McNeal/Vinnie Johnson hybrid, chasing his shots, getting boards on both ends.    It was nice to see Cubi's defensive pressure.
Too many dumb fouls by Lazar, too many JMay shots blocked.    Both need to play smarter.

Absolutely true. No way to judge this team until we play in Orlando. Beating up HS teams is one thing. Lets see after this week what we have.

It's alright if we beat bad teams.  It gets the guys a little bit of intense play, even if they are better than who they are playing.  Plus, a lot of teams step down and play at their competitors level of play....its good to see that Marquette has not stepped down to sub-par competition and have kept to their game plan. 

If they did step down to their opponents talent level, I'm pretty sure Buzz would rip them a new one, so I can see why they haven't done so.
