Clear foul on Carter.

[PGsHeroes32]

LOL dudes got 4 fouls.


25% of the fouls this half are on that guy.

Of course we miss the 1 and 1

[MuggsyB]

What???  Scruggs slipped.

[BM1090]

Big East needs a complete reset on the officiating. It's terrible.

[MuggsyB]

Should be up way more.  Hoping to get it to 9 or 11 at the half.

[MuggsyB]

Why???  Garcia launching a contested 3 after a t-o??

[PGsHeroes32]

This half by Dawson is inexcusable.

If the player isnt listening sit him. If its a coaching decision, lose your job.

[PGsHeroes32]

Greg with some more big hits.


I hope he plays a good role next year. We need a deadly shooter.

[CountryRoads]

Thought there was good energy and effort out there this half. Was encouraging to see.

[MuggsyB]

Terrific half from Elliott.  Cain played well too.  That was a confident J for GE after a beautiful shot fake.  Start him the 2nd half for McEwen.

And replace him with
Lewis who is playing worse
Theo with two fouls

Lewis is at least trying to sit in the paint, just failing miserably.

Good grief, the turnovers suck again.  Plus Lewis dunk miss is that 9?
Lewis barking at people on bench, should look in mirror.  Probably worst five minutes of his career.

Fremantle with two fouls, Carter with four fouls. Get to Garcia low please coach.  Why is he chucking up threes with major foul issues, why?....X has big problems if Fremantle gets three.  One guy left on bench.  I don't get it, even announcers saying why isn't Garcia down low.

Glad have lead, but should be substantial. Thank you Greg Elliott.

[Daniel]

The last few games when we double a player on defense we are swarming him.  Fir last last 6 years we doubled and dropped off a guy just when we had them trapped.  I like this better.   Yes. Greg and Jamal flying high.  Like it.  Must be able to adjust second half to what they will do

[TSmith34, Inc.]

These refs are freakin' crap

[mug644]

Anyone bothering to coach Dawson and tell him to get in the paint?

Also, is he afraid of the paint?

I recall that many of us said the same with the last highly ranked big man freshman, Henry Ellenson.

[Ardmore Mug]

When Driscoll refs , the calls suck ! ! !   IDIOT ! ! ! 

[mug644]

Why???  Garcia launching a contested 3 after a t-o??

I think that was shot clock management. Taking a wide open 3 with 51 sec (or so), ensures that MU would have one more possession. I think it was a good shot; he just missed it.

Great points nyg.  I wish our big would just get position and slow down once they get the rock.  Also, Carton is drawing 3 guys quite often.  If he doesn't have the vertical drive get rid of the ball and find the open man on the swing.

[WarriorFan]

I hope winning is more important to wojo than giving seniors minutes.   Theo is in the way in offense, Greg needs to play more instead of Koby. Only  Jamal deserves to be out there.

[MUeng]

I would agree with the announcer. Marq looks like a tourney team, at least in the first half.  They played great, especially on defense.  Keep it going!

[GoldenWarrior11]

Im puzzled why Carter was out there with three fouls.  He was playing with so much emotion that a fourth was inevitable (and it happened very quick). 

Not complaining at all.  Just odd.

[MuggsyB]

I would expect some type of press from XU in the 2nd half.  Gotta continue to take good shots and take care of the ball.   Definitely start Elliott to begin the 2nd half.

[NolongerWarriors]

Elliot has been a savior for MU.

[MuggsyB]

Ughhh.  Lazy trans D.
