Murray State / MU Game Thread

[jtsanto]

This is a team that has played well from behind. I am worried about this game, because we look sloppy. That being said Jae has done nothing and that can only mean good things in the second half.

How many FT's have we shot?  2 or 3?  That's a bad sign.

[nyg]

MU has only taken 2 free throws.  Relying on jumpers and of course missing layups.

That has to be a season low.

[jtsanto]

That is good for momentum into the second half.

[mileskishnish72]

25 at the half. We couled petition the Big 10.

Jae has been a second half monster all year.  It is now or never.  I would not want to be in that locker room right now without earplugs.

Trust me, will we dine on horse liver in the 2nd half.

positives:

no foul trouble

ummmmmmm

no foul trouble

[MarquetteDano]

Backdoor's always good

Wow... thats a layup for you. Shame on me for leaving that one out there.

On a serious note a lot of no calls in the 1st half. I bet the refs now call everything in the second half.

Why does vander have so much trouble making lay ups

[Lighthouse 84]

Got away with one at the end but we'll take it. Need to shoot better and get to the line. Take care of the ball and limit TOs.

[real chili 83]

Ox missed those two bunnies.  Keep feeding him.  He is hungry, and will not miss again.

[chapman]

We should be destroying them on the boards and we aren't - Gardner should not have 2 and 0 offensive with the minutes he got.  Got to get to the hoop in the second half, taking two free throws is not our game.

He is setting up too far from the hoop.  Not his shots.

DJO could audition for Dancin' With The Stars

Murray state is overplaying.  This leaves driving lanes open.  Let DJ go off on them.

Yes, but he can manuver on the dude with this the Artis Gilmore hairdo.

This is where Blue hurts.

Vander can really get to the rack but he loses his head once he knocks on the door. That's a missed opportunity for us.

[EnderWiggen]

Guys, we got this.  Charles Barkley said we would win.

[Markusquette]

Just missed way too much that half.  Got to knock down more shots.

[79Warrior]

Murray is tough. This game has upset written all over it.

[jtsanto]

It is easy for Buzz at half...

Vander get your head out of your a#@ and play basketball. Jae relax and have fun. You do that and we will head to Phoenix next week and continue on this road.

[nyg]

From three:

DJO is 0 for 4
Jae is 0 for 4

Something has to give.  A momentum flow.  Thought it was when Mayo hit that first three, but then two staright turnovers.  Man, did those hurt.  

[Markusquette]

Murray is tough. This game has upset written all over it.

Ok I know we're the 3 seed but can people please stop talking about upset?  I mean they have the best record in NCAA and ranked ahead with the home crowd.  I know they play in a "mid-major" conference but this is a very tough game.  Yesterday was a perfect example that so-called mid major teams can win and beat some of the best teams.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Vander just needs to dunk whenever he is within 5 feet of the hoop.
