Be Quick - But Don't Hurry - John Wooden

[PGsHeroes32]

TV crew helping us with recruits!!! Have Wes with 23.1 PPG this year!!!

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Great move by Duane; no finish. Too bad. Keep doing that.

[Lighthouse 84]

Great move by Du. Need to finish.

[VegasWarrior77]

We need to see more of that ball movement.

Marquette would be much better if they could trade Derrick for Barlow. Barlow's bball iq is much better. At least he can read a transition break.

Will we need to include draft picks or just cash?

[NersEllenson]

He got a coach slap of five - what do you want here!?! I mean, 40 minutes? So Ners how many minutes SHOULD JJJ play this game to satisfy you?

No reason to take him out at that point. Was going good things. Gets back in game now for a bit, missed one shot going to basket and back to bench. Meanwhile Duane Wilson can attack run and miss frequently and keep playing. Players notice this disparity in a coach's leash. But go ahead. Make another lame joke.

Way too much standing around on O.

Way too much standing around on O.

It's the Derrick dribble at top of key offense and Wojo not happy.

[real chili 83]

Crown on the rocks.

Ice fishing today. Lousy internet.

Man, we could make those bunnies.

We got this.

Luke for SOTG.

I don't think he was mad at Derrick there, but the other players who just stood there and didn't do anything.

Glad to see JJJ playing like this. Effort on D, smarter offense than just jacking threes. This is how he'll earn more time.

[nyg]

The bad Carlino in first half.

I've been thinking the same thing.  He is playing within himself and the offense.  Maybe he is starting to buy into the process. Would be great, because the base athleticism and potential is there, just needs to round out the game and he could be a good one.

[PGsHeroes32]

Well lost some momentum. That big guy barrels into JJJ and somehow ball lands in his lap.

Then derrick drives diagonally to the corner for a fade away worse than Derrick(Rose) two nights ago.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Too many air balls and on our home court

[chapman]

Oh no, the second half is next.

[PGsHeroes32]

Good News. Luke got 7 shot attempts that half.

Bad News. He biffed on multiple occasions.

[NersEllenson]

Of course he wasn't mad at Derrick. You really think Wojo would get mad at his boy?  Ever seen him chew out Derrick?  Lol. Meanwhile he can bark at a lot of other guys.

but the Sprecher Tripel Abbey I had last week was divine!

Yum.  Love the Mai Bock as well.

[Niv Berkowitz]

It's like I'm watching an old episode of Seinfeld.

I recall little of the first half but then realize....I've seen this before and I know how it's going to end.

[nyg]

Butler's best player Jones is scoreless, but their center is having career game.  

Luke has taken seven shots in first half, more than previous whole games, bad news is he has missed three shots within two feet. The Butler center does not miss those.

Four other MU layups missed and Taylor missed from three feet.  The good teams make them or at least half of them.  

JJJ got some good minutes, must have practiced harder this week.  

Carlino is not a shy guy, believe he is 1 for 6, some have not been close.  

Keeping it close, but must continue to contain Jones.

Maybe he has been reading scoop  

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Duane, JJJ, and Fischer with consecutive misses from 4 feet -- ouch.  Pretty good defense again today.  Dorky white dude somehow beating us.
