Buffalo game thread

Disappointed to see 21 hit a 3. That means there will be more.

Shot clock wound down. He passed it up next possession...issue is so did Sacar right after for a shot clock

Glad Chartouny made a couple freebies

[Vander Blue Man Group]

The refs were.

10 turnovers, 5 by Markus.
Theo played great, best half of year, only one foul
Only 7 MU fouls, very nice.
Threes by Howard, Sam, Joey and Joey kept them in it, was very, very, nice.

Hopefully Markus calms it down and goes nuclear shooting.

I could be wrong but looks like Sam went straight up. Kept his arms vertical.

Hopefully Marcus plays in the flow and doesn't feel like he has to make up for a poor half. We'll need him to win. Buffalo is really good.

Markus.
Key play - we've just hit 3 3's, he's dribbling up court, goes to the R sideline, almost loses the ball dribbling over shoulder height, then gets picked for a breakaway.
I love him, I appreciate what he's done to improve his defense, but God, he'll never be a good point.

I guess I see it differently...I rarely complain about a college kid...but he is playing like a selfish ass.  I must not understand the situation because if I was his teammate I'd have words for him and if I was his coach I'd pull him after any and all bad shots.  They play good D and can run their offense through the high post.  Markus just has to play solid for them to win and he insists upon jacking shots.  Obviously wojo sees it differently.

Boy is Buffalo quick. I hope we can tire them out. They can't play that fast the whole game.

Looked to me like He wasn't jumping straight up...was jumping toward the rim...

They said they average taking a shot within 14 secs of the shot clock so maybe they can

He's gotta find a middle ground. We know what he's capable of (Kansas State and Providence last year). But if he doesn't have it he tries to go for the home run.

You might be wrong, but refs have been great. Buffalo known for flopping, especially Jordan who leads country in charges called, and they only got one called on Markus.  They flopped at least five times and refs not going for it.  Also no offensive screen calls on MU yet, a miracle.

Joe and Theo missed front ends of one/one.  Gonna need them

Hopefully Markus not worried about #3 and starts going on one of his runs.

He has basically been benched for the first half. Less than 10 minutes?

When are they going to start calling the flops for what they are?

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Sacars play makes u long for Greg being healthy, some solid minutes by Cain

[PGsHeroes32]

Well

Not the start we wanted

Missed lay ups and 2 fouls on Sam

He's at 3 now

[PGsHeroes32]

So many in and outs

[PGsHeroes32]

Markus stop FUC KING rushing your shot

Theo block party!

[jesmu84]

10 fouls against Theo and sacar right there.

No complaints about the refs, which is highly unusual.

I still think I'm right. 

[GooooMarquette]

Great hustle by both. Minny representing!

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

Classic TO by tooney into heavy coverage.  Huge turnover liability

[PGsHeroes32]

Every foul on us this half

[jesmu84]

Every foul on us this half

Minus the 7 uncalled ones when Theo/sacar were on the floor

[PGsHeroes32]

Markus so damn dumb

Horrible 3

Then picks up his 3rd for an And 1.

Cain playing well tho

Poor sequence.

[GooooMarquette]

Bad decision by Markus. Just let the guy go....

[jesmu84]

Really going to be tested for the next 5-10 min. No Sam. No Markus.

Not benched...fouls
