GAME THREAD 1-19: THE QUETTE AT NOVA

[NolongerWarriors]

Gotta laugh at people wondering why opposing fans hate Kolek when he takes every opportunity to chirp at the crowd.  You love his intensity if he's on your team and hate his guts otherwise.

[TFlegend]

6 points in 9 min.  6.

[Goose]

Oso should not be in the game right now. He is struggling on both ends of the court.

[IL Warrior]

Last NINE foul calls have been against Marquette. No fouls on Villanova in over 18 minutes...

[SaveOD238]

Oso not at his best tonight, needs to up the motor big time

It's all of the first year players.  Jones has been bad.  Stevie had two quick fouls.  OMax has struggled shooting.

Vets doing ok, but they can't do it all

[DoctorV]

Sheesh that one got a bit away from Shaka. Hate to see Kolek pointing to Kam to pass the ball the other way when Kam just wanted it out of his hands.

Can't have Kam, Oso in there for that long when they are struggling at a key point in the game

[NolongerWarriors]

Home calls sure coming now  4 fouls to 0 ! ! !   Jay got to them at half ! ! ! 

Heh.

I hate Nova, but the announcers love them

So do the refs, it seems.

[jfp61]

Not getting calls, plus loads of individuals making mistakes.

[MuggsyB]

Well stayed in it for 3 quarters. Couldn't get to the line or grab an offensive board.

You would think that simply by dumb luck a team would have one offensive rebound in 30 mins.  It's absolutely crazy how slow we react to the ball.

[GoldenWarrior11]

Villanova is a machine. New players every few years, same style of play with high-level results.

[StillWarriors]

Oso getting abused defensively and Kam really costing us possessions too. Nova more physical than MU this half.

The complete lack of offensive rebounding isn't going to work.

Need these calls to balance out a bit.

Vegas called it in. Need a 14 pt win, please help

[MUEng92]

Morsell was bailed out with that foul call

[Daniel]

Shot selection poor, and no offensive rebounds whew.    We didn't settle for threes in our last 4 games.   We are back to where we were before.  Chucking up quick threes

[Uncle Rico]

Good experience for the team to be in a hostile environment against the best team in the league.  How you handle this adversity says a lot.  Ten minutes left

[IL Warrior]

Morsell was bailed out with that foul call

Yep. They've missed plenty on Nova, but that just looked like Morsell driving faster than his feet could move.

[DoctorV]

Solid bailout there by the refs

[MUfan12]

They panicked. Happens a lot in that gym.

Just keep it relatively close for the computers.

[BM1090]

Refs are missing some but I'll take a game officiated like this every time.

[Viper]

I hate Nova, but the announcers love them

dear Lord, I know you know I hate RED. And, well, I hate Villanova too. I know, a biter heart. Please forgive me. I promise not to tease my BADger loving neighbor, scare his dog, or allow my dog to dump in RED's yard anymore if you'll just give us a win tonight. Amen.

That's why Wright is a good coach. Made adjustments at half to go inside and their bigs are way too strong for our skinny two bigs. Even Moore has backed in twice. 

Not over....

[AlumKCof93]

- I love Oso but he's had a very poor game
- kolek needs to find his shooting stroke.
- nova only has 3 fouls in 30 minutes.  Wow
- no picknroll the past 20 minutes
- is it a game plan to not pursue offensive rebounds?

[21Jumpstreet]

Two outstanding out of time out plays for threes, outstanding. Stay on your feet, Greg!

Jop!

[DoctorV]

Hope that was a drawn up play to Greg, nice
