Thoughts from the game.....

1) Is there and bad blood with Otto Porter and Jabril Trawick? Pregame national anthem, both squads lined up on the court and as soon as the song was done, both teams met at half court to shake hands and say good luck....except for Porter and Trawick. For whatever reason, those two stayed back while the rest of their teammates met the MU players at half court.

2) Jamil Wilson's T. Really? I could hang on a nerf hoop longer than that without pulling it down.

3) If MU gets Pat Driscoll in the BEast tourney I may puke. There was one call tonight, he was under the hoop out of bounds - 6 guys packed into the lane, and at the free throw line DJO strips Clark from behind. Donato right there calls nothing, Driscoll, who I am convinced could barely even see those two because of the players between them, blows his whistle.

4) "I Believe That We Will Win"... best student chant ever, also loved the multiple "Let's Go Warriors" chants. Way to go students, carry that on to next season!!

5) How about the speech by Pat Idstein? Impressive Pat, impressive.

6) Jae Crowder - will he get Big East PoY? Bigger question is, why has that voting already taken place? Shouldn't that be voted on after the regular season is complete? Jae's performance tonight should have made him a lock, but the voting had already taken place. Dumb.

7) Davante Gardner's leg is stiff, he should have just put it over his shoulder and carried it, but damn was he effective!!

8) 19,000+ fans had to impress the host of recruits there tonight. Well done MU fans, well done.

9) Jae & DJO combined for more than half the teams points, more than half of the steals and close to half of their rebounds. They will be missed.

10) #2 seed in the Big East Tournament - "I Believe That We Will Win!"
