Is Vander hurt, or just in the doghouse again?

He's not good.

He sat for like 10 minutes.  MU had six point lead, came back in and now tied.

Junior has two fouls, thats is only reason he is playing.

Did providence just get a turkey on us?!!!

[Jackson_Downer]

That Cotton shot didn't look like a 3 on replay.

TODD MAYO:  GET OUT OF MY KITCHEN

[muhoops1]

How many jump shots have our guards blocked this year?  Answer...none.  How many shooters have they put on the line attempting to block a jumper?  Answer....one too many.  This dates back to Dominic James...It's stupid.

[Golden Avalanche]

If it wasn't for the terrible fouls on jump shooters and getting owned on their defensive board, this was a solid half.

[chapman]

Ach, would be up double digits if we weren't getting slaughtered on the defensive glass.. Hopefully a combination of the 3/4 pressure and getting some good minutes from Gardner to take up space or Anderson to pull some down can fix that in the second.

[ErickJD08]

I must say. BE network is so low budget.

Agreed.  The feed blows & the color commentator sounds kinda like the mayor on the simpsons

Reason MU is behind:

Rebounding.  PU has 24, MU 15.
                 PU has 10 offensive, MU has 4
                 Batts has 11 for himself.

Free Throws. PU has 13, MU 5

                  Fouling Cotton on a three and Council on last second shot stunk. Stop fouling Cotton.

Adjust to above in some way and MU will pull this out.  

Gardner is a no show and Blue is a no show.  Rest of team playing well, especially DJO and Jae.

ND ahead ....under 2min

BTW, PU is shooting 30% for the game and is in the lead.  Unreal......

Cannot see a team shooting 30% and then winning.

You nailed it earlier...rebounding.

[BossplayaOtto]

Hoping for a better 2nd half from Ox which in turn would help with the rebounding disparity.  DJO, Jae, Mayo, Jamil look solid and 7 dimes from Junior.  Vander looks lost again.  Hit the glass, get some paint touches which will even out the foul shots and we will get this W.

[TallTitan34]

Free throw difference is the reason the team shooting 30% in leading.

[PGsHeroes32]

Missed the 1st half see the box score but anyone fill me in? I see Ox didnt score at all but had 2 fouls so did he sit a lot? DJO and Jae filling it up but batts with 11 1st half boards? I know Prov is good at getting to the line but 17 freebies already?

Just wondering how the game looks

Oh, you found the time to watch the game?

[National Champs]

Haha, classic Buzz.

[4everwarriors]

Thought Buzz would punch his lights out.

Odom is very good.

MU getting bitched on their glass. Leading to swipes on second chances, thus, the high FT attempts.

They've also decided not to defend PC's best 3 shooter.

[4everwarriors]

Did Ox miss a team meeting or somethin'?

[Golden Avalanche]

With Cuse going down, MU cannot blow this opportunity.

Real chance to get into title chase.

[ecompt]

The more I watch Vander, the more I wish he had not changed his mind about attending Wisky. He is in no way a Big East-caliber player.
