I love how these haters like “???” go back under the bridge when the Bucks start winning. That troll is a douche bag. That being said, nice win on the road and a good resume builder for the NCAA toournament. Diebler might be the most improved from last year…although Swatterdale still deserves the nod. That 360 by Turner was dirty. Remember you hyper critical, non athletic, panties in a bunge haters out there, this team is YOUNG – lighty is your most expeirenced dude on the floor…give them some time and the next thing you know Matta’s won 20 and they’ll be a team in the tournament you won’t want to play.

“Maybe Ohio State should recruit Plexico Burress, I heard he could shoot pretty well…”

Nope. Plaxico actually dribbled it off his leg.

“Do you think Miami will blame this loss on a bad call by the officials?”

Is that a rhetorical question?

Wait…One more joke before I go.

Do you think Miami will blame this loss on a bad call by the officials?

God, I could keep going.

Hey, I heard Miami’s best player was out for the game…

Can I make a bad Will Allen/Willis McGahee joke? Please

great job bucks. looked like two totally different teams: shaky and then confident. is it true that they didn’t turn the ball over in the second half? i believe this is what Thad envisioned when he recruited turner & diebler. anyone know their 2nd half scoring efficiency? they seemed to score at will. i thought mullens made some progress as well. he just needs time to get comfortable and used to the competition at this level.

I live in south Florida and my phone was ringing off the hook during the first half from Miami fans wanting to gloat and taunt me. Got a little quieter in the second half and then dead silent from 5 left in the game until now… 30 minutes after the game. I have some phone calls to return!!!!!!!!!!!! I am loving tonite…. how the hell did we win??? Either best coaching in the 2nd half or best choke job of 2008 (so far)….. nice personal foul to seal the loss douche bag McClinton. Crater reached in and should have had a foul called… McClinton reacted like a girl in a slap fight and got tossed….. dick!!!! We own the Canes and they know it. Can’t wait for the football home and home in 2010 and 2011— Pryor is gonna run wild.

Matt – It was kind of a slap by McClinton. There was no blood, apparently.

The ESPN crew was pushing the idea that Crater slapped him first. He was reaching for the ball and hit McClinton, which should have been a foul. McClinton’s girl slap was flagrant.
