X vs Friars

[5DollarPitcher]

Who do we cheer for?  Could be an interesting game this morning.

[We R Final Four]

X.  Let the winners win.  Let those in the 2nd tier with us, lose.
Best if Prov stays below us in the standings.

[tower912]

Agreed.   Put DePaul, Providence, and Georgetown down and out early.    Then worry about getting ahead of SJU.

Friars showing a little fight playing even in the early going.

[muwarrior69]

Friars up 6 with 10 plus to go in the first half. With Bullock they are a different squad.

He is their best player, definitely got a break with him not playing against us.  The rematch with the Friars at home will be a difficult challenge.

[Oldgym]

X is really out of sync at both ends.

X has a way of coming back though.

Bullock might be their best player, but Cartwright is their most important player.  Apparently playing against X with a bad back that didn't allow him to participate in the full warm ups. 

There is a much bigger drop off between Cartwright and Ashton-Langford than between Bullock and Jackson.

[Dr. Blackheart]

I think they miss Holt more.

[Marquette4life]

I wouldn't mind seeing providence win because we want our win to look as good as possible come March. We haven't beaten X and probably won't at the Cintas. We have a good chance we will beat providence twice. If this is the case, come March we will be ahead of prov. As long as our records are similar

Officiating again very poor in this game.

[BM1090]

This is a very high level, entertaining game. Lots of fun. Hope X pulls it out

It was pointed out on another board that one of the refs in this game reffed the UW / Rutgers game last evening. 

[rocket surgeon]

wouldn't we rather have providence win cuz we beat them-better for our RPI, et.al.?

No because our SOS is equally affected.  Would rather knock a potential bubble team down.

[Mr. Nielsen]

I'm pulling for PC. Makes MU's road win look better. Plus, I want 70% of the league in the dance again.

That's a good example of why officials need to be dedicated to a conference and be full time, year round positions, with extensive training in the off seasons. 

A well trained Big East specific official wouldn't fall for Macura flops, they'd be looking for it.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Wrong, we want to finish as high in the conference standings as possible, and we aint finishing above Xavier.

[#UnleashJosh]

If the refs called the fouls on macura like today marquette would have won.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Creighton took care of Georgetown

[Mr. Nielsen]

Then take care of your own business.

[tower912]

Not going to lie.  Watching Cartwright flop against Macura made me laugh out loud.   Providence looks better with Bullough.

[forgetful]

That was a lot of steps by Bullock.
