They're practicing free throws!?!?!?!?

Love the coverage, fantastically written by MattyV....wait a minute....wasn't that name of a user on here? Not the same guy is it?

Love the sound of the practice. Sounds like Wojo has them working towards a good direction.

Wait 2-2 on three pointers? Let's say derrick starts then Ners is gonna $hit himself then derrick hits a 3 or two then Ners is gonna have a damn stroke.

If Derrick starts burying 3's in games I'm gunna start throwing pigs off of roofs.

Love this, of course his own coach did this as well...so did Wooden and others.

Buzz Williams didn't believe in setting aside practice time for free throws. Wojciechowski doesn't think the team can afford not to. "We need everything we can get in terms of scoring," he said. "If we're getting to the free-throw line we have to convert those at a high rate. Everything's important. We're a team that's got to take advantage of every opportunity to score and make the most of it."

Jsonline limits your reads. If you hit the cap go into private browsing mode and it won't recognize you.

It really is great to have a reporter that actually produces some content once in a while. Well done.

If Derrick Wilson starts threes in games... We will be in good shape...

Sharpie · « **Reply #17 on:** October 31, 2014, 07:26:37 AM »

I think he has offered more quality pieces before the first game than Mike Hunt did all of last year.

GGGG · « **Reply #19 on:** October 31, 2014, 07:38:24 AM »

Hunt was good at the old-school, longform pieces. This guy is really good at the more regular tidbits that drive eyeballs to your site on a more regular basis. Printed newspapers are dying, but quality content is more important than ever.

Did all this run in the paper? If so, that's almost Packers coverage from the JS. Excellent reporting job.

Neither Ners nor anyone else was cheering against Derrick. I think Ners, like a lot of others, would be very happy to see Derrick improve his willingness and ability to shoot improve to the point that he can at least hold defenses honest.

LOL -- Maybe Coach Wojo took outr advice seriously and had Derrick shoot 5,000 shots a day.

Seriously, I think Marquette is going to surprise A LOT of people this year. I'm still worried about Jujuan but overall, things are looking up!

Chill man I wasn't saying that anyone was cheering against derrick. I was saying that derrick shooting in general would give him a heart attack.

This has to be one of the best JS write ups on Marquette basketball in a long time. Some really good, detailed coverage of what happened and I like that he's not afraid to interject some of his own opinions on why things were done a certain way and how the players are progressing.

This is a great start.

It's exactly what we were calling for with Hunt.

Just spend an hour in practice, take some notes. Boom. Blog.

Like it or not, that's how media coverage works now.

I'd love for Matt to continue the good work, and maybe one of the radio stations in town could eventually use him as a "Marquette insider" when applicable.

AZWarrior · « **Reply #31 on:** October 31, 2014, 01:00:41 PM »

Matt V. If you follow this board (and of course, you should) thanks much for the excellent coverage so far. You are a welcome addition. Looking forward to more stuff like this. Very well done!

Finally some good MU reporting post Rosiak and much welcomed.

tower912 · « **Reply #33 on:** November 01, 2014, 08:22:43 AM »

Glad to hear that they aren't dividing the players up defensively, as our smalls are going to have to guard bigs at some point. Also like that they are being coached to press after every made basket. Injuries are going to be an area of concern this year. 1-2 to the wrong player at the wrong time and the season could go sideways.
