DePaul playing slowdown game again.

[ChicosBailBonds]

On pace for a game in the low 50's

[nyg]

Playing down to them again and Fulce can't hang on to defensive rebounds, thats why Ewill just came back in.

Loss of Butler due to eye has hurt.  It was 14 to 5 when he went out.

[mrr1981]

Team looks lazy on offense.  Too many deflected or stolen passes.

[willie warrior]

DePaul is a lousy team---period..........

Agree, how did we lose to them???

MU up 13, with Butler not scoring.  Ugly turnovers and ugly three point NBA shots not falling.

DJO was hot, then had 4 turnovers and Buzz sat him for a long time.

Great defense.

But lead is good.  Now don't play to their level.

The only way DePaul can win a game in the Big East is to slow it down.  That being said, they are not good at basketball.  

This game isn't going to win any style points.  

[ChicosBailBonds]

How did we lose to this team?

[damuts222]

Sloppy passing and quick shots lost us the first game. They are missing everything, and I love Acker but how many bunnies has he missed lately. They said he is shooting something like 73% from 3pt range in Big East play but when he gets down low its like unchartered waters for him.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Painful game to watch and we are playing down to them.

[texaswarrior74]

Playing down to the level of competition....again....I'm disappointed because I would have thought they'd have more fire after losing to this team the last time around.....hope they crank it up the second half...

[ecompt]

DJO was great early, then had three terrible turnovers in a span of five possessions. Ugly, ugly game.

[ChicosBailBonds]

7 minutes without a basket for us

[damuts222]

DJO!!!! Are we going to see that guy with the massive Adams Apple and the mask come back in since Wallace has 4 fouls and so does their other big??

[nyg]

7 minutes without a basket for us

They starting to step it up now.  With two of Depaul's big guy's with four fouls each, this will soon be over.  

DJO putting on show, hope he keeps turnovers down in order that Buzz don't sit him.  

[MUEng92]

Can someone explain to John Saunders that free throws count as points too.  He even said "how does MU extend their lead without scoring a field goal in 7 minutes?"

they made about 10 fts in that stretch!

[ChicosBailBonds]

We're starting to move now, making the extra pass....much better

[damuts222]

DePaul doesn't guard the man with the ball, Buycks has had like 4 layups in a 2 minute span

[nyg]

Depaul basically just emptied it's bench, down 26 with 12 to play.  Sad......

[MUEng92]

They are playing better since they did

[willie warrior]

Depaul basically just emptied it's bench, down 26 with 12 to play.  Sad......

We went from a 26 point lead to 15--that is not good!

[nyg]

13 now.  Very bad shot selection.  Acker especially, too early in clock.  Can't play like this against Providence, but can't complain about defense and a win.

Switching to GT/USF game.  USF up 3 with 3 to go.

[WarriorHal]

This is agonzing to watch.  Lead down to 11. Just a terrible struggle to close out a game we should have won easily.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Two droughts of almost 8 minutes each....imagine having no field goals for 16 minutes of a 40 minute game....that's 40% of the game with no field goals.   How did we lose to this team....because we played down to their level.

[ATWizJr]

We'll  have to do better on Saturday and I think we will.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

The only way DePaul can win a game in the Big East is to slow it down.

I thought that's OUR line!?!
