AE OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL BEER OF THE GAME, a.k.a. PINT TOUCHES: See if you can follow me here: a friar is kind of like a monk, right? (The answer might well be "no." But let's pretend it's yes.) And some monks, particularly Trappists, make beer. And Chimay is a good beer made by said Trappist monks. Pretty clever, no?

Good timeout Buzz
No seriously… Good timeout. That was the way you hope the “momentum stopping” timeout will work.
We all have to chase one rabbit. If we try to chase two rabbits we won't catch either of 'em.
Jamil for 3!
He must read my shit :)

And right on cue
He misses a baseline J that he probably could’ve gotten 20 seconds further into the shot clock.

Hard hitting break down of the draw and kick there.
Like that’s not the objective of every basketball team on earth.

Jae!
Bank that shit home son! And act like ya meant to do it!
Good to see him getting off early.

Loved that wide angle shot of the DJO 3
You see Junior walking towards half court, with his hand in the air, as soon as the shot went up. Sometimes you just know when it’s good, I guess.

Buzz has gone sans jacket early tonight
He’s clearly not messing around.

According to ESPN
Junior has 7 assists already! Damn yo!

Productive minutes from Juan.
Love to see that.

Very
Even that tip dunk that didn’t count was nice.

Good Lord
What a sloppy ass 50 seconds of basketball that just was. And what the hell is Vander doing?
Though I really wish we would’ve completed that alley oop… mainly cuz it would’ve prevented that transition 3 on the other end.

Just awful officiating.
Both ways. Shouldn’t expect anything less.
by Superstitious Bando on Jan 21, 2012 6:55 PM CST via mobile reply actions
That should've been a charge
Junior stood in there and took it like a man. Tough no call.

Offensive boards
9 of ‘em already for the Friars. That’s how you end up tied, despite out-shooting your opponent by 47% to 30%.

Horrible foul there
DJO was feeling saucy after the block on that last play, got a little over zealous.

Well...
Hopefully that was the “bad half”.

Horrible effort.
That was probably the worst halftime highlight clip ever. “There have been some upsets. Here they are.”

We're getting crushed on the glass and at the line
MU – 15
PC – 25
MU – 5-8
PC – 13-17

Halftime coach interviewers always sucke
But today’s dude seems particularly douche-tacular.

And of course...
“Sucke” is Latin for “suck”.

And apparently
Our lengthy halftime talk was about committing charges and allowing them to drive to the hoop. Good talk.

That's how you finish a dunk!
Make a note of it Todd.

I like aggressive Vander.

What the hell is going on?
DJO and Vander with 4 fouls?
by Superstitious Bando on Jan 21, 2012 7:32 PM CST via mobile reply actions
Doesn't help that the announcers suck
And have no idea what’s going on. Sounds like the scoreboard sucks there too.

Tick tick tick tick tick
This game can’t end fast enough

Davante has shown up at the right time
Stop the dumb ass turnovers and bring this baby home!

Shooting
DJO is 6-8 and Jae is 7-12 and Jamil is 7-13. I’m listening to the radio broadcast – is Keno coaching tonight’s game?

Nope
But he might as well be.

We're finishing tonight like we usually start
Put this thing away already.

Well thank goodness
An look at that! Jae had ZERO fouls! (If the damn box score is correct)
J. Wilson was fantastic. Jimmy Butler POTG for sure?
oh yeah, it's Jamil
But Jr did have 10 assists and Jae and DJO were damn efficient

Everyone played so nice today
A good sign I think, the fouls were all pretty stupid and im going to blame that on atrocious officiating.
5-2 in the BE and tied for 3rd
I’ll take it. Keep it trucking next week.
