AE OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL BEER OF THE GAME, a.k.a. PINT TOUCHES: Playing the Panthers today, huh? Well, in that case, there's only one direction we can go here. It's a beer that's illegal in nine countries and 60% of the time, it works every time. That's right, I'm talking about the official beer of Brian Fantana, Sex Panther from SanTan Brewing Company. Mmmmm, double chocolate porter......

Tip of the hat to Mr. McCarter

The DJO line was his. And seriously, have we ever seen a guy more in love with his shot fake?

We all have to chase one rabbit. If we try to chase two rabbits we won't catch either of 'em.

Look out Don Cherry

That tie looks like Buzz is coming for the title.

given the nicely dressed coaches we have in this league

Its possible that buzz might be the worst dressed. And that’s saying something considering we have coaches who think mock turtle necks and wind shirts are game appropriate apparel!

Davante doesnt appear real interested in participating today.

Gonna need a big effort out of Jamil.

Realistically

I didn’t expect back to back high output games for Davante. But I had hoped to be wrong.

More Jamil Wilson please

Give him the damn ball when he’s got a guy 4 inches shorter backed under the hoop.

Can we just send 'Cuse as the Big East rep to the Dance this year?

I don’t know that any of the rest of us should go.

ugh

Another forgettable half. Buzz’s “play” on the last possession was, um, bad

I was going to say...

We need more outta Jae this half. But before I could he comes out and scores like 6 quick points.

I might have to come out of sabbatical

To write a post on how awful Buzz is in end of half and end of game situations. He just doesn’t have any idea what to do, and it’s gotten to the point where I don’t think we can expect him to learn.

Whatever. Take the win, move on.

Brad basically summed it up after the game:

somehow, we consistently look MORE disorganized after the timeout is called. I mean, how many times do we say: “Christ, that couldn’t have been what they drew up in the huddle” after a TO? Four times a game, maybe?

As a Buzz promoter, I can't say I disagree

However, I’m not going to nitpick considering our overall success since he’s been here (both with empty and stocked cupboards).

by Mr.McCarter on Jan 14, 2012 8:07 PM CST up reply actions  

Considering the amount of close games Marquette plays

I think that particular shortcoming qualifies as more than a nitpick.
