G, how did MU do that?

[TVDirector]

First 12 minutes and final 3-4 were brutal. 
I thought MU played D pretty well overall- not nearly as many lapses as in past games. 
Picks by bigs continue to need lots work- RJax, where are you??

Theos foul on three point show as time wound down at end of first half was unforgivable-  fortunately we came out strong enough in second half. 

Bucket drummer dude was impressive. 

We played down, but did what it took to win. 
Still waiting for some home cookin.

Does it count as being in the thread if you can’t think of anything to say?

That might make a nice Masthead.

Congrats, PF.  You made Scoop Takes.

[The Thing]

I don’t see us winning at Nova, but just in case....

Chances MU wins at Nova, not good, but there is a chance!

I'm in and will have my paypal account ready to go:)  Agree with all that it was an ugly game, but I really liked the play of both Elliott and Anim.  Great energy and a ton of upside.  On the downside I think that we are in possession of the softest Aussie since crocodile Dundee.

If we win at Nova I'll personally give everyone in this thread $100

Thought the Xavier game was encouraging, G was sloppy but happy to take the win.

A win at Nova and $100 would make me even happier. I’m in.

[mugrad99]

Can I get my 100 in bitcoin?

The win yesterday was never in doubt.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

In for the hundo. 

[Oldgym]

Too late to post in this thread?  No?  Good.

[brewcity77]

If we win at Nova I'll personally give everyone in this thread $100

For what it's worth, I don't see any time limit or specific date attached to this. So if we win this year and next, that should be $100 each time, carrying forward every year.

Well, in the first half Gtown was constantly at the line. In second half MU was.... When MU ran their plays they had a lot of chance that went clang, clang, clang...

[Lennys Tap]

I had no idea that so many Scoopers were in dire need of money #Sad.

[rocket surgeon]

Oh, what the hell...I’ll take the free “c” note.  This could get expensive

[MUfan12]

Straight cash, homie.

I love Scoop. When Georgetown has a lead for 95% of the game against Syracuse we start a thread worrying that they may not be the automatic wins we expected. When they lead Butler for 95% of the game the thread pops right back up.

When MU is winning games 90-84 we’re complaining that we’ll never be able to just win a game in the 70s and always have to outscore teams.

When the same team we question whether is as bad as expected or not comes to Milwaukee and we never trail in the game, while the team they took to double overtime smokes up #1 and undefeated Villanova, we complain that our offense is “very concerning” and Georgetown sucks.

Some people just aren’t happy unless they are unhappy. Always need something to complain about.

Oh well, hopefully we get the usual suspects crying over a win in Rhode Island Wednesday.

You have a lot of outstanding posts, wades (and some silly ones, too, like most of us do), but this is one of your all-time best.

Perfectly captures the mind of the Scooper.

I think some folks just don't bother looking at what's happening all around the country. They think we're the only team that loses to good teams, the only team that occasionally loses to a team we "should" beat, the only team that loses recruits, the only team that loses transfers, etc.

Open your eyes, peeps!

As for this from brew:

In terms of safe bets, this is still pretty safe. Villanova has only lost 3 home games since the inception of the new Big East. 2 of those were at Wells Fargo, where we play them, but that's still only 2 losses there in 5 years.

It wasn't a bet at all! It was an announced giveaway. If MU fails to win at Nova, nobody owes PG anything. But if we pull out the upset, he's got to start raining Benjamins on the rest of us like confetti.

THAT's the safest "bet" in the world ... for the rest of us!!!
