Gameday

Get rowdy! This may be the best opponent we play at home all season

I really want to win today, primarily to keep the home winning streak going and to put a statement win on the board for the Big East. Not expecting to win, as this is a tough match-up for a retooled backcourt and Ohio State is ready to win big games now. I think the teams will be pretty equal come March, and I can envision us winning today, but it will only be disheartening if we are run out of the building.

Gold unis today.

Hoping MU can continue the long-standing tradition of the Bucks losing in the Bradley Center.

Last minute change voted on by the players. My game day ensemble totally messed up !:rolleyes:

Go Warriors!!!

Students are ready - MU's Gold N Blues acapella group was singing national anthem and student section took over in force. Team was facing mid court with their heads bowed, and as soon as the students took it over, one by one the players all lifted their heads with huge smiles. As the anthem came to a close, Jajuan Johnson had his arm up pointing at the student section. Pretty impressive.

Game on....

Starting lineup - Derek Wilson, Jake Thomas, Steve Taylor Jr., Jamil Wilson, Chris Otule.....

Officials: Jim Burr? Say it ain't so!! Will get the other two in a moment

Refs are active early - 28 seconds in and we have an OSU touch foul and a 3 in the lane on MU

Those at home - we had nop replay, what was call on Derek?

Slow internet with so many people connected - other two refs are Ed Corbett and Bo Boroski.

At the 11:55 mark MU up 7-5

MU up on the glass 11-9

MU 1-6 from three, need to get better shots - guys still have the jitters.

4 turnovers and 4 fouls, MU needs to keep that in check

Never really been a fan of official Bo Borowski, but man does he scan the student section at every stop in the action.

A couple of defense lapses on Marquette. Got to be able to inbound.

Diamond Stone in the house today

OXtule time

This game is painful to watch through the first 10

Need some offense. Go to guy?

Two defensive teams at the beginning of the year, so it is to be expected.

I'm not sure this is the place for John Dawson, but boy they need some movement on offense.

I like the fact that Dwill has taken it to the hoop a few times. He has been very sloppy with the ball though. I think point guard play is going to be our major issue this year.

Painful is right - at the 7:51 mark MU is 3-17 from field, OSU is 5-19. Both teams combine for 2-12 from three.

Rebounding battle is tied at 15.

Burton is earning his minutes

Guys - feel free to comment on TV action, we are getting NO replays at BC.

Mu is getting hammered going to the hoop - Jake got hit, Steve got hit twice, and they call Davante for the ass-check? Poor.

Marquette showing some nice intensity.

Not a good sequence for Jake. Terrible off balance three. Then drives to the hoop and tries a scoop shot. Looks like he got fouled on the scoop though. The charge on Davante was questionable.

at 3:01 mark, Derrick Wilson & Aaron Craft have yet to come out of the game. No question that players on both teams are gassed. Bradley Center is up for grabs - last possession may have been the loudest I have ever heard this place. Great job MU fans!

3 minutes to go in the half and the leading scorer for both teams has 5 pts - did not see that coming. Todd Mayo & Lenzelle Smith.

Buzz just got his first warning for being too far out on the court - warranted, even though it was a stop in action, he was damn near mid court.

I think Taylors shot was on time.

Replay on the shot clock? Did he let it go in time or not?

Buzz might not trust Dawson yet.

Good call.

No, I guess hat was a good call seeing the replay on Taylor

I thought so too, but no replays here today.

Hell of a play by Mayo.

What a play by Mayo

Derrick got lucky on that one, just as whistle blew he dribbled it off of his foot.

No replays on Fox either. Not many anyway.

I miss JR. Never thought I would say that!
