Hang the Banner!!!!

[MUMac]

Wow.  Escape is the real story.  In the long run, I am not concerned. This may actually help.  In the short run, I did not expect to have troubles sleeping tonight.   

[4everwarriors]

Doubt it. That would be for hairy wet cats.

[MattyWarrior]

OMG! Without Crowder and DJO we would be toast!Hard to beat a team twice.

[DCWarriors04]

that would be an IU thing

[boyonthedock]

[DCWarriors04]

MU was totally looking forward to Jacksonville....

Hope the banner is better than the trophy.  Good grief what a cheesy trophy.

Oddly, I was worried about this game today.  In fact, I did not want it all weekend.  I was concerned that one week ago we beat them by 31.  Our start also may have attributed to some complacency or overconfidence.  

Escaped and moved on to next week.  Buzz is likely really pleased to have a week of practice ahead of them.

So will the banner ceremony be on Monday??  Will Laura come to help raise it??

Ummm guys, a few things to act as your Ambien tonight

1) It was the third game in three days for our Warriors. Won't see that again until the Big East tournament in March.

2) It was the second time in less than a month we saw these guys. Won't see that again for at least a month. You're nuts if you don't think that even little ole Norfolk State made adjustments and learned something about Marquette.

3) We won for chrissakes, Under a lot of duress and good teams find a way to win. Bad teams find ways to lose in the last minute,

4) Mississippi was the first team of any consequence we've played this year. Granted, they may be to the SEC what DePaul is to the Big East, but they are major power and they are SEC. We killed 'em. Absolutely left body parts laying around. It was a good start to the real season and we inevitably knew there would be a letdown today.

Now, go slay the rodent in red.

One correction...it was our third game in four days.  They didn't play on Saturday.

You say Sports Hot, I say Standard Def hot.

either way, she works for me

[Jay Bee]

Careful, BeeJay digs that chick.

I do kind of like her, but mostly because of her job. 

BIG effin honker and rough complexion... bad roots, totally needs another dye job.

But she had some curls in her hair, good chin, cute... I like how she talks.  Might even be a 7.5 or so.  Super young, though, I think.. probably will look like a$$ by her mid-30s.

(ps - Laura if you read this, I'm kidding.. please call me)

Its never easy to play a team twice in a week even Buzz said hes never done it in his career.

It would seem that this a "reality check" for the Warriors and fans. The troubling part evidenced tonight is the "trending" of Coach Williams teams to lose leads in the second half. Interestingly, Coach McGuire teams had the same tendency. He often put his teams into a defensive shell with a lead and would win it close by shutting down the opponent. Coach Williams teams seem to simply run out of gas. A trait exasperated by playing multiple games in a short time period. Are they over-worked? Regardless, the good news is that team plays like a team, is a team, has talent 10 deep. Could be a great year.

Cracked Sidewalks twitter account made a comment: "Tom Crean would hang a banner for this win & that ashtray-like trophy."

...To which Steve Novak seemed to take offense. ("What does that mean?")

I, personally, wouldnt be opposed to something hanging in the BC for *this year only*. It's a good accomplishment - our team and the MU community should be proud that we won it!...not whining because it wasnt by 30pts...
