PrintFive games left. That's it. Then the second season begins. Even if this team goes 3-2 over the final 5 I still think they have a pretty good shot of getting its first ever double bye in the Big East tournament.
How amazing is this team? Down 12 points after the first 5 minutes, only to be leading by 12 at halftime? That has to be pretty close to the largest point swing in a half, right? I won't lie, I yelled at those people who complain about the slow starts, but I was annoyed like the rest of you on Saturday. 16-4? How on earth do you allow that to happen at home?
Give Buzz some credit. Few teams in the country could lose their starting center, go 10-4, then lose your back up center and go 3-1 in the next 4 games. Buzz's mantra of having players that are "switchables" has saved what is turning out to be a really special season.
Random Stat: Derrick Wilson played 4 minutes. He had 3 steals.
How the Memphis to Big East deal went down.
Who is Bon Inver?
Who is Paul McCartney?
Grohl nailed it.
Women be crazy.
Emma Watson is not ugly.
Danny Pudi & a Golden Eagle.
Holy Kate Upton hotness. (some bosses might not appreciate those pics on a work computer)
WTH was this?

BrewTownAndy with the recap.
AP recap.
JS recap. I heard Tom Enlund is going to join Twitter. If he's as half-assed on Twitter as he is with the blog, I'm not sure I even want him on Twitter. Nothing like waiting until the season is practically over. Brilliant.
Paint Touches: It's all about the defense.
Cinci recap.
CBS Sports has MU at #14, yet Badgers at #11. SMH.
Mellow for three.
If you subscribe to Milwaukee Magazine you should already have the received the issue w/ a in-depth story on Buzz. It will hit newsstands next Monday, until then, read the teaser Howie put together on it.
Chicago has a ton of basketball talent and the IL schools aren't getting it. We are.
Computer profile.
NBC Sports gives Jamil some love.
Steve Novak getting some love.
What good can Dominic James bring to Partizan?
Nobody cares about DePaul.
Random music video: Any Little Town. Tomorrow marks 8 years since I asked my lovely wife to marry me. It was after this Memphis game. Our first date was the Reece Gaines Louisville game the year before. Dear Marquette, stop losing games on important dates in my life. Seriously, this woman had Marquette season tickets, in the lower bowl. Why wouldn't I marry into that? Any way, this song was the first song I put on the first mix cd I made for her.

Grohl nailed it
and then his band played a song that was remixed by a terrifying cyber-mouse.

The whole
show was a trainwreck. From the high point of the Glen Campbell tribute to the the cyber mouse to the nightmare that is Minaj. yeesh.

It wasn't THAT bad.
The Golden Slumbers medley to end the show was great. Foos rocked (save for the 30 seconds with the aforementioned cyber mouse). Adele is magnificent (and British! Who knew?).
Of course: all of that was nearly undone by the cringe-worthy Beach Boys set, which ranged from insulting (Adam Levine HELLO) to baffling (where was Uncle Jesse?) to sad (Brian Wilson looked like he’d been fed 48 ‘ludes before the show). But Dr. Love’s hat looked OK.

I'm guessing
Maroon 5 was not the first choice. That’s the medley that Bon Iver refused to participate in.

I've never heard a single Bon Iver song
and yet I can confidently say that I hate his music.

a pompous hipster of the worst kind. What is there to like?

I figured you'd be able to tell me.
Thought he seemed like your kind of boy.

Not my boy
Warrior Brad’s boy. He’s a bigger hipster than me.

Best part

Bravo
to D. Wilson. I didn’t even realize he only played 4 minutes. Must have seemed like longer with all those steals (and a free-throw, to boot!).
I'm Ron Burgundy?
He's an impact player.
Right up there with Justin Credible and Lance Storm.

2006
I hate to be “that guy” on my first post, but didn’t MU have the double bye in 2006, the first year in the Big East?
by MerigoldBowling on Feb 13, 2012 11:40 AM CST reply actions
I think that was just a first round bye
That was back when the bottom 4 teams missed out on the BET. But the premise is pretty much the same – a bye into the quarterfinals.

I love Bardo's analysis
“Other teams cheat and I know it. Just don’t ask me to prove it or cite specific instances.”

I enjoyed that.
Cheating is the obvious answer, not “no one wants to go to college in Champaign.”
