damn, so many missed bunnies

[PGsHeroes32]

Yeah this is bad now.

If it's a layup I can make in a D1 game. You gotta make it.

Good time out.   One of those frustrating stretches.   MU is doing everything right but the ball won't fall right now.   And suddenly Sparty heats up while the ball is rolling all over the rim for MU.    Just one of those things.  

[PGsHeroes32]

C'mon Juan.

We're just handing them momentum.

[tower912]

Double dagger.   Juan makes the play and hands it back and the Spartans throw a dagger.

What a difference the zone has made so far.

[BossplayaOtto]

couple of clutch 3s by 'lino and jujuan or this could have gotten ugly. overall pleased with the effort this half. entertaining game so far.

[PGsHeroes32]

What a difference the zone has made so far.

It's really nice.

Getting Fischer is gonna make things even more fun.

[Niv Berkowitz]

Like this game a lot. Enjoying the effort. Just the missed bunnies are killing me.

[tower912]

I am starting to have hope for the season.    BTW, New Belgium Abbey, in case anybody cares.

[tower912]

2x we have our hands on a steal.   2 x MSU hits jumpers.   As frustrating as the missed layups.

Someone outta kick Valentine in the nads, hey?

[tower912]

Dumb, dumb foul by Teve.

[WayOfTheWarrior]

Crowd getting into it too! gotta keep up the intensity!

Really sucks the bounces right now

[VegasWarrior77]

STJ can't foul 70 feet from the basket!

I'll take that first half.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

If they beat us by hitting 3s and long 2s then so be it.

Nice job by Juan of getting back in the game and not picking up a 3rd foul.  

[BossplayaOtto]

solid, solid half. very good effort. couple of frustrating bounces (missed bunnies and almost steals that turned into Spartan baskets) but only being down 1 is pretty sweet considering we are 13.5 point underdogs.

[PGsHeroes32]

Wish we coulda grabbed that board after valentines early miss. Still held em.

Frustrating because I feel like we should actually be up 5 right now.

But realistically should just be thrilled with the exceeded expectations.

[Daniel]

Hope we still have energy left. Our guys were hustling like never before this year. Wow. Impressive D - go Wojo. Go Marquette!

[Slim]

If we win, I am going to find some New Belgium Abbey for Sunday

[tower912]

Agreed.  Tough to complain.   Playing solid defense, rebounding well, getting the looks we want.   If the bunnies fell, we would be up by a handful.   C'est la vie.

I'll take that first half.

Yup, with Carlino shooting 2 for 10, Dwil scoreless and Juan a bit tentative with two fouls.

Good to see Burton early and being effective.
