hope that 1/2 suspension was worth it

[mviale]

That was painful.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Oh bull. What was so painful about it? I thought the guys played pretty good under the circumstances

[MUMac]

Yeah.  Don't know what to think right now.  I will say this, if MU wins and DJO scores all the 2nd half points, the SOtG is Jae Crowder.

[Boone]

Anyone who thinks D. Wilson is a viable future starter is out to lunch.

[21Jumpstreet]

I'm not sure what you mean by worth it, but if it embarrassed the suspended players and they decide to buck up, then yes it was worth it.

It felt like that NIT game against Western Michigan.

He's a freshman, playing a ton of minutes, in a pinch, on the road.  CALM DOWN.

Not even close.

The proof will be in the pudding - if the first-half suspended guys come out and go nout it will be worth it. They didn't look too broken up on the bench in the first half.

Are you kidding me?

The low point was those air balls.

[21Jumpstreet]

Not even close.

No kidding, that was brutal.

[mileskishnish72]

LONG way to go with D. Wilson.

[MisterJaylenBrownMU]

Yeah.  Don't know what to think right now.  I will say this, if MU wins and DJO scores all the 2nd half points, the SOtG is Jae Crowder.

Or J-Wilson.  Given the circumstances, he played a fantastic half.  8 points/2 rebounds and held Kilicli to 4 points/1 rebound on 1-4 shooting.

(I know that Jae had a great half and held Kevin Jones to reasonable numbers.  I'm just saying.)

Actually agree.  Buzz is the coach, and he's in charge.  Players screwed up, got punished, and they deserved it.  We made the best chicken salad out of chicken s*** in that first half.

1+

[77ncaachamps]

Suspensions are given for a reason.

These kids have to swallow the bitter pill and accept the reality that they will have to fight for EVERYTHING in this game.

LOL...that is some MASSIVE REVISIONIST HISTORY.  Keep GOING, you're doing great!

Agree.  WVU is no pushover and they have the potential BE POY.  We haven't won there in the last four, they hit a few threes, are big, and need a win.  I'm relatively happy with the performance.

It felt like two freshmen and a sophomore averaging .8, .8, and 1.2 PPG blew away their season averages in minutes in the first half.  We've been down a lot worse with full strength.

[MisterJaylenBrownMU]

Worse defensively than offensively.  He didn't attempt a shot (read: "didn't miss a shot"), had more assists than turnovers, and even managed 3 rebounds.  Not awful for a freshman playing serious minutes against a good team and a hostile crowd.

Giving up 15 to Truck isn't what I like to see, but Bryant is good and he hit some long 3's to pad those stats.  

Probably an overreaction.  Not Wilson's best half, but that could have gone a lot worse.  That actually gives me a lot of hope for when he's an upperclassman.

[Bieberhole69]

At least Mayo isn't allowed to play in the second half.  Although that was a pretty nice dunk.

[Boone]

Tell me, ATL, what you liked about D. Wilson's performance in the first half. 

[mviale]

At least Mayo isn't allowed to play in the second half.  Although that was a pretty nice dunk.

Mayo could not find that rim - sans the dunk.  1st time we averaged more TOs than assists.
