UWM game thread

[MarquetteDano]

To me the biggest issue in the first half was offensive rebounds.  UWM would be totally dejected right now if we limited them to 2-3 offensive rebounds as they would probably have about 18 points.  Way too many second chances.  Probably the biggest achilles heel defensively for this team.

No. 10 ranking be damned, this is not looking like a team that going to tear up the BE. 10-8?:

Crowder zero points
Blue      zero points

Shooting 31%, 14% on threes

Letting that guy (Allen?) get two layups with four MU players standing there was brutal.

If MU does not come out with a passion and blow these guys out, then I can't imagine what the Syracuse game will be like.

What is going on here?

[mileskishnish72]

Totally agree, Dano - BE will hi the boards harder than we've seen.

We're #10 for a few more days.

I expect us to be #15-18 in the next poll.

Other teams are playing harder than us and the pollsters are noticing it.

Nice start to the second half.  I like the way Jamil looks right now.

Not going to deny that...that said, we've hit a rough patch, this team will battle through it and be the better for it.

How could you possibly know this?

At least someone out there is grabbing the bull by the horns.

[mileskishnish72]

Pretty this is not.

When will DJO learn? 15 games to go?

[VanderBabyBlue]

Of course DJO immediately picks up his fourth. 

[MerrittsMustache]

Awful call on DJO's 4th. Absolutely terrible.

[77ncaachamps]

Dude is really trying to do too much.

Todd Mayo and Jae. Show us the way.

[nyg]

DJO is keeping Milw in the game.  Same thing over and over, driving in the lane and Globetrotter throwups.

These referees are just taking way too much out of this game.  Cmon...this is D1 basketball.

Agreed.

And I didn't know Antoine Dodson was the PG for UWM.

[WarriorDoc]

This game is completely out of control.  Bad basketball, terrible refereeing.  Stupid calls going both way.  TWENTY SIX FOULS?  Jesus we're not even 30 minutes in.

[MerrittsMustache]

29 fouls called (including 3 techs) in the first 28 minutes. Ridiculous. Let them play.

[mileskishnish72]

There is no need for a new nickname for the Ox. I love him, but have you ever seen an ox jump?

[MarquetteDano]

Yeah, we could have used some of these fouls during that very, very physical LSU game.

[real chili 83]

Here comes UWM's run.  Are we up to it?  DJO?

[DCWarriors04]

He seems to be able to jump better than most guys on this team when it comes to rebounding the ball, minus Wilson. How many times is Jae just standing there while his guy goes around or over him to grab the board.
