wat. He's sporting a 53.6% eFG% this season and is a 69.3% career FT shooter. 52.8% eFG% in BEast play, including 37.7% 3FG.

Duane's shooting 52.8% eFG in BEast play.. who has shot better? Luke at 56.1% b/c of where he shoots from and JjJ at 55.9%... Haany is sub-48%.. HE 46%.. Traci.. 48% and only 36% 2FG



I never said he shouldn't be playing. Maybe you could read my original post again. It is quite clear about that.

But, 7 turnovers in a tight game negates all other numbers. In the last couple minutes (which is what I talked about in my post, in case you didn't understand), possessions are all-important. Offensive Efficiency on a possession is 0.0% if you turn the ball over. Zero percent chance that you score.

Duane has to play late. He's got balls. He can make 3s. He can make crafty lay ups. And he can pull up and make jumpers or floaters.

There isn't a shot he's not capable of making. Except like a sky hook or some 7 footer type shot.

His free throw shooting is mind boggling but that's not reason to sit him.

He's in no way a poor 3 pt shooter. Wildly inconsistent? Yes. Poor? No.

Not at all. What I am saying is that we can't afford to throw away half of our offensive possessions in the last few minutes. I never said I didn't want Duane to play. I said we can not afford to have two turnover machines (DW and HC) on the floor in the last couple minutes of a game.

Possessions are important. To not even get a shot repeatedly as we have seen in the last couple minutes can't happen.

I wasn't commenting on turnovers. I was commenting that you on how you said he's not a good three point shooter. It's not true

I don't want to imply that late game turnovers aren't crushing---they are.  I think the abilities Hayward cites are in short supply on this team and even with the turnover potential require Duane to be in at the end of close games.

I do think Wojo did a good job getting them ready to play this game. They certainly responded well after the Seton Hall drubbing. Wojo should be praised fro that. I recognize that a young team will do things to beat them. I also think Xavier fans should be a little bit worried. Xavier was good enough to win their last two games against St. john's and MU, after having those teams beat them for most of the game. It is a sign that Xavier is not playing as good as they should be. Having praise Wojo for his pregame preparation, I do not think he did a good job during the game. Xavier several times scored on designed plays coming after timeouts. Clearly, Mack outcoached Wojo during the game.
Xavier needs to come out of their funk or a so called potential final 4 team will exit the NCAA tournament early.

....So one road loss to a NCAA tournament caliber team is a funk? Better tell Oklahoma, they got embarrassed by Kansas State who is definitely not making the tournament. Guess they're not a final four caliber team either.

Finally had time to fill in the numbers for this game.

Marquette won in 3 of the 4 major indicators:
63.2 eFG% vs. 61.5 eFG%
36.0 OR% vs. 21.2 OR%
39.6% FTR vs. 39.3 FTR

Unfortunately, we got so badly beat in the fourth category that it made up the difference

26.0 TO% vs. 12.1 TO%

This was probably our best played game all season but the turnovers absolutely killed us. Though it should be noted, even though we won in eFG and FTR, X's numbers were still absurdly high.  In fact, with a defenseive rating of 122.1, it was our worst defensive game of the season (@NOVA was 2nd with a D rating of 119.1) If we had limited them more in that area, we could have also won. Killed em on the offensive glass though, hope that becomes a trend moving forward.

I think they will. Creighton played very well in front of a big crowd last night. It had kind of a tournament like atmosphere.  The game will serve as a wake up call for Xavier.
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.
