Charlotte Game Thread
 

Let's Go Baby! No looking ahead to Xavier... let's go to 22-2! GO UD!

One thing, Mickey and Paul need to step up with MJ under the weather.

Looks like Mickey will start today per BG in the pregame

Another BIG game for the Flyers. They all will be from here on out! LET'S GO FLYERS!!!!!!!!!

Please, no one mention our next game until this one is over!

MJ will not start but will play.
That's a good thing.

So what Internet video feed of the game will we get today? Hopefully we won't have to watch a seizing televised game.

I'm watching the WHIO streaming video. So far so good, but these guys have not been very reliable in the past. If anyone knows of an alternate way to watch this one, please post a link.

LOL at this crowd. Is it even half full? Close to it? Doesn't seem like it.

wow a quality feed

Two great moves by KH so far. Get Mack in foul trouble.

Love hearing "Let's go Flyers" loud and strong.

Charlotte not doubling down on Kurt, so he should be able to do some damage.

I was gettin ready to say kurt playin good and then he doesnt rebound, doesnt play D on transition, and doesnt rebound all in 5 seconds


I think thats lets go niners not flyers

The quality of the feed has eveything to do with who is providing it in Charlotte. We got crap for a feed from Philly and it showed.

Cox Broadcasting (owner of Channel 7) has a station in Charlotte, so that might help.

Does Charlotte ever miss? If they're in zone, we're not even making the effort to go inside. Nice and 1 by CL, and Mack has 2!

I'm hearing "niners" not "Flyers"

although, I shouldn't complain....
 

So I think were supposed to be rooting for the red squares over the white squares.

then we should play all away games in charlotte

Hey Warren either dunk it or lay it in--don't change your mind in the middle of the shot

Wow, three 3pters so far. Nice shooting CJ.

cassanos pizza blows

Gotta crash the defensive boards better. We're one and done on offense if we miss.

Chris Wright gets blocked?--fake and go Chris

That offensive foul on CJ was kinda bogus. KH was blocking out his guy and moved him into CJ's path and the guy flopped and the ref fell for it.

Uh Oh here comes the zebras 3 straight lousy calls all go against the Flyers.

Calling some weak fouls on us!

Yeah, it looks like the ref's want people to know they are here today.

Why does Warren have to try to do things that are spectacular

Great flash to the basket by CJ for the and 1.

Chris Johnson is an unbelievable talent

CJ is a STUD! Nice get BG. Lets get a 3rd foul on Mack and open up this lead!

Go Flyers!

Chris Johnson sez: Who's your daddy?

CJ playing great so far, but we are missing FT's right and left.

KH is looking confident today.

3-8 from the FT line

not good when your 2 PG's shoot less than 65% from the line

Nice no call on KH down low...geez. I wish RL would be more consistant. His highs are great but his lows are hard to watch.

Go Flyers!!!

Dayton 3/8 at the FT line. Charlotte at 10/20 from the field has cooled off slightly, but it still could be lower. Might start to see even more zone with Mack and Jones both in at 2 fouls.

A 2 year starter that was a walk on. Not like he's a chump.

I cannot say anyone has showed up besides CJ. Defense is poor and rebounding only fair.

Only 3-8 from the free throw line. have to do a better job.

I grew up in upstate new york.. and CJ reminds me of a more athletic Mike Gansy (St. Bona/WVU)... and for those who don't know Mike Gansy that is a huge compliment. They both have a nose for the basketball and can score. I cannot wait to watch this kid for the next 3.5 years.

This is embarassing for the refs how we end up knocked over onto the floor in the paint and no fouls are called.

Awesome block by DS!

We are getting crushed in the lane so far..they are calling all the fouls on the perimeter.

Chris made his presence known with that first basket. Nice.

Didn't Lutz use to have a Harry Reems porno type mustache?

Loved the hustle by MJ. Three Charlotte players with 2 fouls now.

What a prize CJ is becoming. Great put back. But dangit! Someone make them miss!!

Amazing!
I am speechless!

Kinda cool seeing that TV spot for Jay's Seafood in the Oregon District. Jay was our landlord when we lived in The Woods in Centerville when we were first married.

Didn't he have an NCAA game for WVU where he scored like 30-35 points.
Gansey use to average like 38 minutes a game--never happen with CJ

Did you see that intentional free throw miss to CJ. Awsome!

Somebody needs to get in Anderson's face and let him know they are there

Hey Ian Anderson: Jethro Tull just called. They want their flute player back.

RL had a bad angle for the oop and wasn't even looking to see a guy was standing there. Can't do that. Glad Jones has 3, now lets get Mack and Coles their 3rds as well.

Does Dayton ever hit a mid-range shot?

41% from the FT line geez

Rob needs to calm down just a bit and get under control. He's a huge asset to the team, but he's having a rough stretch right now.

ie, Ally oop off the top of the backboard, then threw it right back to them the next time he touched the ball.

Good TO by BG! Better put a bug in RL's ear!

you see CW airball that free throw so KH wouldnt feel so bad about doing that against St Joes...what a team!

this MJ ailment is proving one thing that most of us have already known for awhile... Chris Johnson should have been playing major minutes and should get more down the stretch.

(and to avoid confusion, i'm not saying those minutes should have come at the expense of Marcus, just that CJ should be playing major minutes for us)

Great block by CJ, but there is another example of Charlotte just bumping and hacking our guys to the ground and no fouls being called.

Didn't stop their fast break, but they stopped ours. That was a soccer foul.

Hope CW is alright and it's just a headache.

He started his career with St. Bonas and was part of WVU that either made it to the elite 8 or final four. He was an amazing player.

I hope CW is alright. I love that guy.

Little hits one shot and then all of a sudden he thinks he's JJ Redick

these refs are a joke...that was a TERRIBLE call on CL on the alley woops and they miss everything concerning CW getting pummled.

Grab every rosary in the house and start praying!

can i breathe yet?

Hopefully just a stinger for CW.

Amazing teamwork.

KH misses two more free throws. Come on guys!

5/13. Our old FT shooting has returned at a bad time.

2 to make 1 and KH can't do it!

geezuz krist--can this team hit it's friggin FT's

X--sucked last night hitting their FT's and lost

Free throws!!!!!!!!

We are not shooting freebies well and playing stupid down the stretch. We need to play to the strengths.

The most amazing thing to me so far is that people are crying about the refs. We are on the road and have out shot the HOME team by 11 free throws. I want to say 5 fouls have been called on guys in the post defending Kurt.

LOL Luke Fab-three-zius. I actually kinda like that...

Close out the half!

Really happy to see Fabreeze starting to hit in any game. I'll take a 4pt lead at the half.

KH misses another bunnie.
Oh Boy!

That's 4 fukkkkkkkking games in a row that Gregory has had Warren in playing for the last shot of a half and they have yet to get a decent look.

Sometimes you just gotta wonder why our worst shooter takes it upon himself to get the last shot of the half instead of trying to create for someone else. Frustrating.

Flyers doing alright on offense. But not blocking out and not hitting their freethrows. If they'd do those two things we'd be up 12-15 points.

Let's go. Gotta turn it up fellas.

we need to start executing right before halftimes. Get the ball out of london's hands.

Love it run the clock down so our last play involves London and Kurt. Charlotte could have taken their team off the court and those two would not have scored. Why not run some picks and free up CJ or Fab? We are silly game after game when holding the ball for the last shot.

Charlotte's shooting finally cooled down. 60% for the first 16 shots--33% for the last 12. Our defense is wearing them down.

What's up with Rob. He's playing at warp speed and it's not working for him.

We had a decent look and missed the easy shot

cbs just showed our highlights (one charlotte put back and the cw dunk), good pub, Seth davis didn't say anything bad about us.... pluses all around

If Chris Benson becomes a switch shooter that would be amazing.

Chris Johnson is going to be a very special player.

Uggghhh......free throws!!!!!

The Flyers will wear this team out in the second half.

Ball slipped out of LW hands KH wasn't expecting it. Per Char announcers.

if you gave chris johnson the height of josh benson, he would be an nba lottery pick.

London and Rob, both not having a good half at all

Charlotte has, what, four guys with 3 fouls? Attack the hoop! Really want to see us start the 2nd half on fire! Eye of the tiger!

No one can make excuses for Kurt. He's not finishing, he need more from our center. Man, he's not a good FT shooter. Having him get fouled was a turnover.

I'm relatively pleased with the first half. Charlotte started out on fire, but only had a 3 or so point lead. As they cooled off we took control a bit.

If we can come out and win the first 4 minutes, I think we can win by 10-12. If Charlotte comes out lighting it up like the beginning of the game, it'll go to the final minute.

That seems like a pretty selective memory. I distinctly recall the last game where CW took the last shot of the half, missed it, and MJ had a put back.

The last home game, RL had the last half shot and didn't get a clean look.

We can go back even further if you want, but it isn't just LW not being able to get a good clean look. We were spoiled with BR being able to create space, it's not going to happen as much this year.

Really liked the quick pick and pop by Luke for 3. Took it with 45 on the shot clock so we were guaranteed to get the rock back. We didn't take advantage but we did get a 2 for 1.

none of those teams made the final four. he was on the Belein coached Pittsnogle club that bowed out in the elite 8 to Louisville in 2005, after WVU had a huge lead over U of L most of the game.

gansey was just a gamer, flat out.
