Sun Devil thoughts

[tower912]

1.  Officiating was puzzling
2.  MU missed so many bunnies and FT's early, evened it out, and then started missing again.   I keep telling my 5th graders that it boils down to layups, free throws and rebounding. 
3.  One day, JJ will play consecutive good games.  Didn't even go back in when Luke fouled out. 
4.  I always like seeing Wally on the floor.   Doesn't always show up in the box score, but he seems to be in the right spot.
5.  Haanif will be good.   
6.  MU does not match up well with muscular 6'7/6'8 players. 
7.  Making clutch 3's is for other teams.   
8.  Consistency is not something you can expect from freshmen.   
9.  ASU had everything they needed, but the big fella with the ball was just a bad combo.
10.  Carter wants to lead.   He wanted the ball at the end, despite not hitting anything all night.  They still aren't good decisions.  But he kept playing.
11.  Liked hearing the fans chanting
12. Two neutral court wins against power conference teams.    Bottom line.    Cannot complain.    Pleasantly surprised.

- Baby blues win again.
- Hang a banner.

I love the poise and toughness we showed in this game. Played solid defense and cut the turnovers significantly.

One thought:

HELL YEAH!

Hard fought win.  Let's go.

[GooooMarquette]

Solid performance!

Like that we caught up and pulled away....

[MUWarrior4Life]

I'll take it

[Hallmarq]

Love this win/

Bring me some Badger.

Going into this tourney, this is an outcome very few people envisioned. Pretty much makes up for Belmont.

Wojo's leash just got a lot longer, hey

This. I didn't like one shot he took tonight, but I am confident he will be a a stud of a PG at MU. We still got him for 3.85 years.

When will the MU Spirit shop have their Championship shirts on sale?

Only 10 turnovers
27 for 39 from fts. Henry 6 for 6.  Five missed fts in OT
3 for 14 from three.
JJJ had zero after 16 last night
Henry 18/11 and 3 blocks, with a bum leg for awhile.

23 MU fouls
28 ASU fouls

Nice win for the youngsters.

Team is growing up right before our eyes. Far from a finished product but they played their butts off in Brooklyn. Congrats to Wojo and the Warriors.

Your #6 point is what will make the top 4 in the conference very tough for us to beat.


But assuming we don't lose a cupcake we are looking at a 10-3(once we finally play Furman later on) non conference record if we happen to lose at Bucky. The resume wouldn't be real great. But 10-3 puts us in a position where we dont have to do extreme things in BE to fight for march basketball.

And we started 13-22 on free throws, I'm pretty sure.  So 15-17 down the stretch.

Box score.   HH32, I know.   Steve Taylor might have come in handy.   

[wadesworld]

Chrasbaz (spelling I'm sure is butchered) might average 30 and 20 on us this season.  That guy is outstanding.

Your abit off since they missed five fts in OT. Wilson had three, Carter one and Cheatham one.  12 total misses, but Henry came through.

1.  Officiating was puzzling

Was it ever! We got some gifts (obvious offensive fouls on Henry and Duane called blocks) and so did they (two missed travels, one on a game tying basket). Tough night for the zebras.

Except we are going to beat Wiscy.

[tower912]

Duane and JJ 6-14 from the foul line.    Rest of the team 21-25

Weird, I could've sworn they showed the free throws when Duane Wilson was at the line and it had us at 12-20, them at 13-18, and then Duane went 1-2 on that trip.

[GGGG]

Henry was quietly very good again. I hope people can appreciate how he impacts the game.

This--I'm so sick of watching these guys butcher early season games. Both ways--just bad.
