McDermott has a punchable face

Agreed

Jorgensen overall more punchable.

Why not Jamal for Joey???

[mileskishnish72]

Joey, Joey.

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

This press break / trap break performance is concerning

[willie warrior]

Joey with 3 fouls in last minute.
Talk about playing with your head firmly embedded in your caboose

Why not Jamal for Joey???

Exactly.

[PGsHeroes32]

McDermott having the game of his life??

Dude is flying in for dunks

[Norm]

Season high 25 points for McDermott.

[willie warrior]

Great non blackout by zBailey

[PGsHeroes32]

Just realized the lack of Ed tonight

That's what happens when Theo isn't in foul trouble

[PGsHeroes32]

Ugly finish now

TOs and McDermot getting 95 rebounds

It's always fun to read this thread and wonder if y'all are watching the same game I am.

You are such joyless fans.

[GB Warrior]

Are these like Nintendo rules where the team in the lead doesn't get any benefits like normal fouls?

[willie warrior]

What a pathetic close to game.

Mike Deane, PGs, Willie, sand knit, etc... They always make the game thread lots of fun

Nothing I said was remotely bad.

Did MU win by 10, reading these posts you would think they lost by 10. Right, did not play that well, but still won. Give the coach for Butler for making the game really hard for Markus

Yes, Joyless for wanting our team to win when they are performing underwhelmingly.

I'll stop in once every other game or so...and remember why I stopped playing along...

Yep.  Every game thread us just non stop whining.  As if the other team has nothing to do with the outcome.  As if every mistake is a personal affront.   Toddlers.

[We R Final Four]

Because we won the game by 10 points, doesn't negate the fact that our press break was absolutely horrible the last 3 minutes.
I find it odder that people on here think we shouldn't comment on such a horrific display and be happy and content with the last 3 minutes......because we won.
It's the game thread. This is where these things are brought up.
If some scoopers are absolutely thrilled regarding the end of the game......because we did enough to win.....good for you.
I'm thinking of future teams who are much better than Butler on the press. Needs to be cleaned up. That's all.

The press break wasn't good.   Joey is a large part of the regular press break.   Joey had fouled out.   Ergo, we did not have our regular press break group out there against a very aggressive press.    Ergo, it did not flow.    IMO, it was a good learning experience.   And it gave them a marker of what needs worked on.      In a perfect world, I would want Joey, Sam, Markus, Bailey, and Chartouny in to break the press.   All handle the ball, all hit free throws, enough size to be able to throw over the top sometimes.   Chartouny had played next to nothing all game and Joey fouled out.    Sacar didn't look good.     

MU won by 10, Wojo has something to work on, fans have something to kvetch about.

You absolutely should comment on bad plays like the press break at the end. Why they kept tossing it to our worst FT shooter in the corner I will never understand. It was driving me batty. If this thread was a mix of comments on good plays and bad ones I would probably still participate. Lately, it has morphed into almost all comments on bad plays with the occasional complaint about the refs . That's not a bad thing, it just is.
