Can we blame the refs now?

[MUEng92]

Did he just say class act by Seton Hall? Seriously?

[avid1010]

Powell is a punk. Ridiculous refs.

Maybe...but he passes the ball...wish our guy did that.  Kills me to see Sam standing wide open with 2 seconds left and markus refusing to do what Powell just showed him how to do. 

[NickelDimer]

Marcus wrist is hurting more then everyone is letting on.

If true then don't play. You're hurting your team. And also if true how the hell do you selfishly take the last shot?

[Cheeks]

Marcus wrist is hurting more then everyone is letting on.

Been saying it since it happened and been ridiculed ever since.  Yes, he's hurt and hasn't played to his level since, but people want to ignore it.

[LA]

That was a shot at evening it up. But you already removed 2 of our starters and let their thug star stay in. Too late to course correct.

I don't like Powell as he is the star of a rival team but how exactly is he a thug?

[JakeBarnes]

Yeah, because their star no longer had our best defensive player shutting him down...he was in the locker room.  Funny how when Anim was playing him, Powell was doing nothing

Exactly. Powell should have been out on a F2 for the elbow. Dude doesnt get to talk a big game because it is clear he has no class

[We R Final Four]

Refs were brutal, but......

Their Star was better than ours - by a mile.

Their unnatural carnal knowledgein star should have been watching from the unnatural carnal knowledgeing locker room.

[GooooMarquette]

Losers blame the refs. Great effort by the guys.

Did you think the refs called a good game?

[jesmu84]

Yeah, because their star no longer had our best defensive player shutting him down...he was in the locker room.  Funny how when Anim was playing him, Powell was doing nothing

Plus one was healthy and one wasn't

[Its DJOver]

How would you classify his elbow on Sacar?  Great player, but classless.

[Cheeks]

powell made plays. howard choked again. howard put up big numbers in blowouts but we found out the real big east poy tonight

The real BIG POY has the trophy to prove it and was UNANIMOUS....but you being a MU fan (which you are not) and generally just a complete asswipe, continue to bash on players.  Absolutely pathetic.  You don't watch Powell every game, so you have no idea if he is the "real" anything, but we do know you aren't a MU fan based on your posts.  Sad.  Terrible troll.

[Smokin' Jae]

Marcus wrist is hurting more then everyone is letting on.

Umm idk, maybe don't take 15 shots and let Sam have a couple if it's so hurt that it's affecting your shot

[warriorfred]

Of course losers blame the refs when the refs decide the game.  Absolute crapfest.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Losers blame the refs. Great effort by the guys.

That was the worst officiated game I have ever seen—both ways, but mostly hurt us. In the end, Powell, punk or not, carried them. MU had their chance to win it. Powell delivers in crunch time consistently.

The refs were horrible. It was tough game and they played tough. I will take this loss over any other loss this season. They were tougher than I thought they could be.
Again, refs sucked. Hall has more studs, but our guys learned a ton tonight,

[NickelDimer]

Umm idk, maybe don't take 15 shots and let Sam have a couple if it's so hurt that it's affecting your shot

Exactly. If he's hurt to the degree that his shot is greatly affected then that was a selfish take at the end. Sam was looking right at him to get the ball. Oh, and Sams actually shown he can hit those in end of game situations

[avid1010]

Been saying it since it happened and been ridiculed ever since.  Yes, he's hurt and hasn't played to his level since, but people want to ignore it.

Maybe...but he had sh1t games like this earlier in the year as well.  Think about what this team would look like with Diener vs Howard...

Sam wide open at the end...

[Mutaman]

Losers blame the refs. Great effort by the guys.

Tough conditions but one thing I'm sure of: When u go 29-41 from the line and get out rebounded by 8, it is definitely not a "great" effort.

[GB Warrior]

I don't like Powell as he is the star of a rival team but how exactly is he a thug?

Thug, punk, use a word that suits your sensibilities. Willard deserves a lot of blame for creating a program of goons.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Been saying it since it happened and been ridiculed ever since.  Yes, he's hurt and hasn't played to his level since, but people want to ignore it.

My wrist got crunched in the autumn in a tractor mishap and it took like 3 months to feel better.  It always felt better 3 days later but a small wrong twist would make it scream for two days.

[HowardsWorld]

The reason we lost was again because Howard started taking shots away from Sam. In the first half MU went up 10 with Howard on the bench then at the 4 min mark he came back in and forced shots as he did the whole 2nd half. Exact same reason we lost to Hall 2 weeks ago.

If the refs were horrible, then why does it make those of us who blame them "losers?"

Yeah I'm having a tough time seeing great effort. We wilted under pressure and we're particularly soft on the glass. Cain's "effort" to get to a huge rebound was far from effort. I've seen way more effort and toughness from this team this year

[brewcity77]

Powell tried to go after Wojo after the game too. Kid should be suspended for tomorrow.

[Goose]

Mutaman
Respectfully disagree. Hall has ball players, tough environment and the they had chance to win. I have been anti on progress of program, but this can be a serious building block.
