Providence Game Thread

[Herman Cain]

Loved how we closed out the game down the stretch

Pretty perfunctory handshake between Shaka and English.

This reply is the funniest tweet I've read in years " They'll lose in the round of 32 again... don't have the big east refs bailing them out". If this is Big East refs bailing MU out...

I'm looking forward to playing games with competent refs.

More like Big East refs keeping Providence in a game when they should be getting blown out.

[Judge Smails]

Very impressive!

[Daniel]

Great great win!  Tyler looked so sad on the bench.   Will be a great game tomorrow.   Will Tyler play?

So glad to be finished with Providence.   They foul intending to injure. Oduro was ridiculous.  Poor Stevie... man he is tough!

When the hell do you think that's going to happen?

[MuggsyB]

I think tbe value of these games are massive for our young guys moving forward.  Both in the tournament and beyond. 

[Lennys Tap]

Good teams win.  Great teams cover

To paraphrase the great Al Davis, "Just cover, baby!"

[willie warrior]

Great win. Need to get Kolek back. Otduro is a thug

[oldwarrior81]

Oso is not a PG. He's a good secondary ball handler, especially for a big. But we really miss Kolek.

He's like an underpaid Ben Simmons.

Too bad he flunked his mid-terms and needs to sit tomorrow.

I know I am biased but I do feel quite strongly that Gus and Jimmy were openly rooting for Providence.

Gus was really bad tonight and it wasn't because of that.  Sometimes I think they're rooting for a more competitive game vs. a specific team.

I suppose that's fair.

Gus just kinda rambles at times.

I don't even care about that.  Feel like he got a lot wrong in terms of names and facts.  Wasn't he the one that said Kam was 2nd-team?

Shaka doesn't like Providence any more than Hurley does

There was an entire segment where both Gus and Jim Jackson (who I like) kept calling Oso Oduro. That wasn't great.

I think we had at least 5 different pronunciations of Oso's last name.

100% they want their entertainment product to be more entertaining

Gus is a hack.

This was a major sentiment among (low bball knowledge) Providence fans at MSG. If Providence plays an NCAAT game like they do in the Big East, they might not have enough scholarship players available to finish the game. Oduro will foul out by halftime.

Gus is a hack.

You bite your tongue. Gus Johnson is a SAINT!

What was all the commotion with crowd during one of the time outs towards end?Announcers didn't say boo about it.

[Judge Smails]

I think it was just some stupid intermission thing like when fans try to make half court shots. Or a donut race on the big board or maybe cheerleaders throwing out tshirts. I'm always amazed at how crazy people go for the chance to get a free cheap t shirt.
