I can only hope that Stanley Burrell will be there to welcome Martelli back to the Cintas Center.

Look closer at the announcers for tomorrow's game. It went over my head the first time Martelli was at Cintas this year.

I'm fine with Miller acknowledging, after the game, that Michigan was the better team. My frustration (and I'm still pissed off) is that we played as if we believed that from the start. Every single player must take responsibility for that debacle but Miller shares much of the blame as well.

I do not agree with posters who believe our bench consists of some single dimension players not worthy of the Big East. What our bench needs is more minutes. Lots more minutes. I hope they get those today. We need those four guys to produce at a much higher level for us to end near the top of the conference and to survive deep into the tournament. Without them, we are toast.

PLEASE don’t foul the 3 point shooter.

Thank you.

Not a great start. Bench guys really hurting us. Turnover and shot clock violation in a matter of a handful of possessions.

Why don’t we have anyone that drives to the rim?

[Xville]

Officially concerned. wtf is up with this team?

[xudash]

That’s the Swain we need.

Ok maybe just some hangover from Michigan and weird start time on a sunday. Much better last ten minutes than first ten
