Syracuse Elite Eight Game Thread

[mr.MUskie]

I'm makin the call now- this is what NCAA moments are made of. An unsung guy stepping up. I'm calling D Wison will finish with 4 assists 5 PTs and 1 TO... And an MU win!

Has he taken a shot this year?  It's like we're playing with 4 offensive players whenever he's in.

I'm still wondering how that wasn't a foul

Yes. You slap a 3 point shooter on the wrist after he shoots it, it's a foul. You nearly break a guys neck after a floater. No call.

I think I'll go to Mass early and say a prayer for Jr. Could care less about the game.

He's ok 69, time to start caring about the game!!!

But a hand check on D Wilson was. Nice game refs.

[real chili 83]

Niv, I like the call.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Need to stop bricking outside shots. Mayo especially.

[mr.MUskie]

Mayo.  Sit down.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Get Mayo outta there.

Did you see the Syracuse IU game the other night...they raped Zeller about 10 times....Syracuse gets away with a ton.  Part of their strategy.  Louisville is the same.  Play rough, if the refs don't call it then advantage them.

[Da 'Lanche]

Get Mayo outta there.

Agreed

[LloydMooresLegs]

Down 6 w 20 minutes to go.  Doable.  

[brewcity77]

Down 6 is okay after that first half.

[Rockmic87]

I really hope Junior is OK. Man, I'm still in shock from that situation. My thoughts and prayers go out to him....

[MUFlutieEffect]

That very may well have been the worst last play of a half in Marquette history: Junior dribbles for 7 seconds, Thomas throws up a (terrible) three from 5 feet behind the line.

[mr.MUskie]

Cut this lead down to 5-6 by half and I will feel pretty good.

So we got this, right?

[mileskishnish72]

Nice end-of-half management - JHC!!

[T.V. Diener 34]

Mayo needs to sit down and not come back in...

[nyg]

Good god hit an open shot please.

Mayo with two misses, Derrick with one.  WIDE open, when lead cut to three.

Last possessions, down three:

Mayo wide open miss
Mayo wide open miss
Derrick wide open miss
Mayo turnover
Terrible last shot

Five last possessions hurt big time, but glad it's only 6.  Lucky.

[cj111]

Very doable.  Will shoot better in the second half, guaranteed.

[Sunbelt15]

D Wil is awful.

[Markusquette]

Southerland's shitty threes are the only difference now.  DG getting fouled down low.  Todd's typical missed threes.  Rachel Nichol's being grossed out by Boeheim.  This is still totally winnable after a dismal start.

[Da 'Lanche]

Regroup...Could have been so much worse than a 6 point deficit....defense is playing well.  Need paint touches and Jamil/vander to step it up on offense.  Feed the OX!   And, no more mayo please.    Looks like we can excel on the offensive boards so lets see Mr Lockett do his thing too!

[Afroman]

DO NOT PLAY REGRESSION MAYO AGAIN !!!

[real chili 83]

We got them right where we want them.

I love our chances.

Tighten up our shot selection, we go to Atlanta.  

Book it.

[netty24]

Cannot stand how Junior slowly dribbles the ball like that on every end of the half situation. Show some urgency and attack the hoop! dont dribble for 7 of the 9 seconds and force someone else into putting up a horrible shot!!
