F(ou)ND a way

[tower912]

1.  Defense travels.  Switching all 5 positions.  What MU has done really well over the last two seasons is switch big for small off the ball.  Trying to avoid more Sean Jones getting posted up.
2.  I love the 9 man rotation. They all are playing d. (see 1)
3.  Joplin wants to score so badly that he is out of control.  Just a dumb play.   Watching his body language lately, he is frustrated. 
4. Kam, on the other hand, is not.  Have yourself a game, young man.
5.  Keep kvetching, but Stevie has Shaka's trust (for good reason) and will continue to start.
6.  9 man rotation.  Three juniors, three sophomores, three. freshmen.  Only one has more than 1 season at MU.   Ponder that.
7.  I am impressed by the freshmen.  The game was put away by the starters
8.   Putting in the walk-ons on the road because it is in the bag.   Priceless.
9.  Few things sweeter.

I love kicking the piss out of Notre Dame.

Notre dame is an astonishingly bad defensive unit. That was an awesome performance from us but man, they make some Wojo defensive performances look gritty.

[5DollarPitcher]

Team is much better than given credit for. Mississippi, Purdue, and Wisconsin will compete for the conference's titles. Our non-con is going to look like an absolute gauntlet in March.

Let's go hammer the Big East.

[The Sultan]

Yeah I love the freshmen but they weren't great in the second half today. Stevie was good.

[warriorchick]

In memory, have the walk-ons ever played in a ND game, especially in South Bend?

Celebrating with a beer...and NO, Joe Montana, it's not a Guinness!

Better be a fine Milwaukee brew!

[The Lens]

Dr. Blackheart's must win post was one of the best things written on this board in 10 years.  And I guarantee Shaka would agree with everything he said. It was time for the rubber to hit the road and it showed.  This program is being built right. 

Let's make some real noise in the Big East.  We're back.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Oso with 16 and 18.

Kam and Omax are so much under control than the beginning of the season.  Much better decision-making and shot selection and you can see it in the results. 

[PointWarrior]

Shaka ball gives up too many easy garbage time 3's up 15+

Just kidding - great win.

Sean Jones played about the right amount of time. 

[MattyWarrior]

They all played well, very few TOs and great defense!

Your #1 was mine as well, UNTIL the walk-ons came in.

Walk-ons playing at ND? No. 1 by a mile.

[The Sultan]

Gotta thank the refs for getting Jop off the floor. He'll have better days.

I remember 2008 we blew them out pretty good at the BC.

[MuggsyB]

ND isn't great but this still was an extremely strong performance by the Warriors. 

[Milkshakes]

Well. That was the last of the cupcakes.

Miss state.

[1SE]

Good win. Top 3 in BE is a legit goal.

We should make it a new holiday tradition.

An annual match-up just makes too much sense.

[5DollarPitcher]

Miss state.

Right

[Goose]

Vastly improved overall team from a year ago in the NC portion of the schedule. Team defense is very much improved, playing with a purpose vs just playing hard. Hats off to the team, the staff and the system for a very nice NC run. Now, time to show the BE we are not a 9th place team. Fxxk 'em.

[NickelDimer]

I love Shaka. That is all.

[MU82]

I love kicking the piss out of Notre Dame.

Yeah, that was effen fun!

I loved the way the team responded after the flagrant on Joplin. It was still very much a game at that point and things could have gone the other way. But we took control again right away with stifling defense and real nice team-first work on offense.

[Elonsmusk]

Good road win for the team.  We are a terrible matchup for Notre Dame.  Kam played like the budding superstar he is, Kolek solid, Oso was fantastic.  Yet, I still didn't feel like we played an "A" game - and not complaining.  Just highlighting that this team has a lot of upside to where you play a "B" game on the road against a rival and are up 20 with 3 minutes left.

BTW - 24 year old Cormac Ryan...Kolek got the last laugh on you by thoroughly outplaying you - after your tool move of the "too small" gesture.  Comical coming from Cormac..not exactly Giannis.
