Bulldog livers on the menu?

[Benny B]

HE certainly not taking it easy in warm ups. Looks like he's a (near, at least) full go. 

[Boozemon Barro]

Cohen needs to play zero minutes.

[#UnleashSean]

And  I think we won't see Cohen for the rest of thegame. What the hell  was that

[GGGG]

Well time for a nap ai na?

[nyg]

Cohen stupid foul

Fischer just picked up number 2, no surprise again.

Six turnovers in six minutes.  Cannot wait until next year when the "young, inexperience" excuse is over.

Way to go in game though. 

[#UnleashSean]

Jujuan takeover time?

[willie warrior]

Guess the zebras do not know a charge. What idiots.

[DJO's Jaw]

Guess the zebras do not know a charge. What idiots.

Ball don't lie though.

[#UnleashSean]

Well that's 3 horseshit calls in a minute.

[#UnleashSean]

This can't be real can it?

[DJO's Jaw]

Luke's third foul has to be one of the dumbest decisions I've seen someone make all year.

[willie warrior]

Just a boneheaded foul by Fishy!

[nyg]

Luke , oh boy. Stupid foul after a great stop.  Yes, that was a foul, but MU getting boned otherwise with calls. 

Have to make very free throw, no turnovers.

And another foul with two seconds on clock.  Shooting foul of course

[WarhawkWarrior]

Game doesn't count, refs took us out early

No. Marquette is playing awful. Don't place blame elsewhere.

[WarhawkWarrior]

No, when the refs gave them 9 early on 3 miscalled charges and then a bulls mitt 3 point foul, it disrupts you a bit, aina?

[Afroman]

Having players who can make shots from behind the 3-point line really helps.

Other than that, Butler has been extremely fortunate (lucky) on a number of occasions and a few calls have been definite head scratchers.

[nyg]

Cut it to three mid half.

Then floodgates opened.  Numerous and one calls, turnovers, can't grab rebounds, missed free throws, stupid, stupid fouls, offensive boards again.

Wojo at one time went with Carter, Wilson, Cheatham, JJJ and Wally.  Didn't work, but try anything.

Thought they play better, but oh well.  This may be worst effort of year, Butler may score 100. 

Rest the ankle Henry........good luck in play in game. 

[auburnmarquette]

Maybe the biggest difference I see between this year and the Buzz's Sweet 16 teams is the attitude to finish the and-ones. We seem happy to have just drawn the foul near the basket and sort of throw one up there and then go to the line for two. I used to come to a lot of the games as soon as the doors opened and watch those teams get pounded by tackling dummies over and over and over again and the message was "I don't care if you are fouled - FINISH and then take your one free throw with two in the bank."

Is that a standard drill and do we still do it?

[willie warrior]

Where the did wilson learn how to not shoot fts?

[dgies9156]

This really sucks.

[auburnmarquette]

No, when the refs gave them 9 early on 3 miscalled charges and then a bulls mitt 3 point foul, it disrupts you a bit, right?

I agree those were huge momentum killers - but part of that is that we are freshman and if something goes wrong it kills us, whereas a more veteran team does the old, "that won't be the last bad call I ever get" and keeps fighting through and then gets a makeup call or break the other way and goes on a run.

I don't know if MU has just made the decision to stop getting JUCOs, but in today's game I do believe you always need one or two if you can't get a senior grad to help the youth along. If the freshman all take over during the season that is fine.

[Oregon Warrior]

Not going to win many games when you let your opponent shoot 61%. Our defense is comical.
