Becky game thread

And how do you know he's teaching him a lesson?? None of us know why he hasn't played. Until we get some confirmation of something, one can only ASSUME He's just F'n with Todd, because he feels like it. It wouldn't be fair to speculate otherwise.

Really? It's fair to ASSUME that Buzz is "F'n with Todd, because he feels like it," but its unfair to speculate otherwise.

You said it, none of us knows, yet you claim that you do. Seriously, how drunk are you?

[LloydMooresLegs]

Typical end of first half. Buzz takes time out. Buzz draws up play. Team does not convert. Have seen that dozens of times. Is it the play or the players?

Well, in that case it was not the play. JWil had a great look at a 3.  Btw, Juan did a nice job avoiding his 3d foul on the rebound chance.

[madtownwarrior]

i guess it does not matter if our second leading scorer does not play?

I don't understand the hand wringing over Mayo. Play him or don't play him...makes
No difference. He's never been a game Changing guy and he never will be. Who cares?

[willie warrior]

I hope Mayo gets in.  The starting backcourt for MU in first half:

0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 for 3 from field.  That is just amazing........, but only one turnover.

I guess we should be happy with the one TO. But we need some scoring from somebody beside Ox.

???

What was wrong with the play.  Good look by Wilson, just missed the shot.  They don't all go in, but no issue with that play.

This.

[Da 'Lanche]

I get frustrated with Derrick's lack of offense,  but, in fairness....we only have 3 turnovers this half which is outstanding.   Of course, that may be due to a real lack of creating shot opportunities (and hence a safe offense), but it is not like he is throwing it all over the place.  

Jake needs less minutes as he is having a difficult time even finding spacing for a semi-open 3.

JWill needs to be the leader like Dekker is the leader for UW...keep stepping it up in the 2nd half!

Ox needs to punch Burr in the head, knock him out of the game so Ox doesn't foul out in the first 4 minutes of the second half.   Burr is an absolute joke...an embarrassment that the NCAA keeps him active.  WTF is a double foul in that situation???

Bo Grinch face needs to keep playing Evan Anderson...thank you!

Keep playing great defense and get on the boards (Juan getting back in may help that) and we need JWill to be hot, Ox to get his looks and one other person to step up on offense...I don't care or predict who...and we can win this one.

No Steve Taylor...interesting

No Mayo...something obviously up and if the pattern continues I wonder if he will even finish the year with us...

Let's go Warriors....there is not question we can play with this team!

btw, out of curiousity....what was the spread today?

[ChicosBailBonds]

Man, our guard play sucks big time. Wilson and Jake are offensive scoring liabilities.

We will go as far as our guards take us

At least Mayo's playing well.

But hey, we need to recruit some bigs, no?

[LloydMooresLegs]

Guru, we have history as our guide.  How often does Buzz not play players that normally play?  When he does sit them, the reason is always because of something the player did or didn't do.  Whether it was Vander, or Junior, or Mayo, or whomever in the past, that has been the case.

If Todd plays in the second half, do you think he didn't play merely to rest him?  I don't.

What's more concerning to me is the attitude of win at all costs, teach a player a lesson in practice.  That's what corrupt programs do.  No thanks.

+1.  As frustrating as it is at the time, the team and the individual players and the university are much better off.  (Still not knowing the reason in this case, which could even be a pre game injury that buzz doesn't want to disclose to Bo)

[madtownwarrior]

statistically, some one please show me a worse back court in the NCAA...

cue the "wilson is great, quit hating on him crowd"

cue the "if marquette had a 2G who could shoot, it would not matter that Wilson has zero offensive ability crowd"

Man, our guard play sucks big time. Wilson and Jake are offensive scoring liabilities.

[hoops12]

I would like to see Duane Wilson back. He could be a major boost to our backcourt. Even without him I would like to see Dawson or Mayo to take minutes away from Jake Thomas/Derrick Wilson. I'm sure both are great kids, but they don't create or attack. Our guards have to do that for us to be successful. Once again, our starting guards are 0-3 from the floor (with guys daring Derrick to shoot) with 1 turnover, 3 fouls, 0 assists, and 0 points. Too big of void to consistently overcome.

[Dr. Blackheart]

And two of those turnovers were flops.  MU in good shape...cold temperature a factor for the shooters.

[4everwarriors]

This assumes we have guards, period.

[T.V. Diener 34]

Jamil needs to guard Dekker in the 2nd half.. he did a pretty decent job on him to start the game off

[LloydMooresLegs]

Chili, I hope your suite is warm. You get the dessert cart yet?

It's impossible. The way some people defend them on here is just gross.

They are not bad role players. But should not play basketball together at all. I like Derrick out there with Jamil, Ox, Juan and Chris today. Or if we go a little smaller someone like JJJ or todd.

[LloydMooresLegs]

Agreed - but it depends on other match-ups b/c if Ox and Chris are in and Bucky is small! those guys have to guard someone...

[Newsdreams]

Don't know about that, he has 2 fouls an early 3rd foul in 2nd half would be really bad.

[PGsHeroes32]

violation of team rules.


wow

[classof2k]

Mayo violated team rules. Out today per Lance Allen tweet.

[rocket surgeon]

mayo=violation of team rules??  wtf!!

[Newsdreams]

Wow no Mayo!!

[PGsHeroes32]

Chris just sucks. Don't even try feeding him

[muguru]

Great, so teach him his lesson next game when you should win without him anyway.
