Man, do I hate Calasan. What a dirty player.

I think once a team makes it accross half court you should not be able to throw an inbounds pass back accross half court. Especially from the baseline.

I agree, and I also think that you should be able to kick the ball in for 4 points.

Bucks are battling out there. Great effort so far on defense especially...they're playing with fire and really getting after the basketball.

ET forced that shot big time. Need to work hard to get good shots, not settle for tough individual plays.

Solid D by Dallas alters Collison's (sic :p) shot.

I love the effort this team is giving. They all look like they took a page out of PJ's book.

over the last 10 minutes, outside of transition breaks for Purdue, our defense and rebounding has been great.

Quick shots on the offensive end, kill us defensively b/c we don't have a chance to get set as they push it back. But our half-court defense has been stellar, and Dallas is making the paint his own today.

Looking good so far.

Keep it up Bucks!!!

Buford slides under to deny an easy score for Johnson inside...

Not sure who has been criticizing Buford's D, but plays like this typify why I think his defense is greatly underrated. He's also a good rebounder for a 6-4 guy without huge hops.

Diebler is on.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

That was a great save by Hill on a poor ET pass..

ET cant draw a foul.....what's new?

 

[BB73]

Turner misses on a tough drive, Calasan rebounds.

Diebs for 3! 30-24
