Marquette Preview from last week on Busting Brackets. I would love to get feedback on the analysis from Marquette fans.

Honestly, it seems pretty fair and well researched. Howard, Rowsey, and Hauser form a potent offensive trio. Fischer will be missed, but Heldt took most of his minutes by the end of last year.

The defense is questionable at best. It was awful last year. Another year in the system for the first five as well as more length inside and out should help that.

Depth is both a question and a positive. The starting five you project have all players starters minutes here before, and there is a legitimate case for all 11 scholarship players being able to contribute this year. However, none of those last six are proven at this level, so while there's hope, there's also reason to be skeptical.

This is very close to the roster Wojo wants to run. Mostly positionless basketball with a variety of lineups for any given situation. It will be an interesting season, but if this team can get to 20 wins & the top half of the Big East, they'll comfortably be a tournament team with a very bright future. However if the defense continues to flounder, it will be a long winter in Milwaukee.

Not sure what "took most of his minutes" means, but this appears to be #fakenews. Luke is a big loss.

I thought this was a well written research report. I continue to believe MU will finish 3rd in the Big East and make it to the second week of the tournament. Our offensive is going to be very strong and we have some big bodies that will contribute on the rebounding and defensive end. I also believe that because we have a core group of experienced players, there will be less pressure for immediate production from the newcomers and they can grow into their roles at a comfortable pace.  Sacar is a wildcard, however I think he is going to surprise people in terms of the strides he made during his year off.

It means that Matt was playing more minutes down the stretch. He tallied more than Luke in 5/7 games. So no, it's called paying attention. As usual the person saying fake news is the one who's incorrect.

Nope, I simply asked a question. Your definition could have been bizarre... and it was. So, "taking most of his mins" means "he played more in the final 7 games"

Your claim is a lie if that's not all you meant.

In the last 5 games, Luke's minutes were higher than Matt's by double digits.

In game -6 and -7, Luke simply fouled out in 11 & 12 minutes, so Matt played a ton.

So, "Matt took most of Luke's minutes" actually means "Luke fouled out super quick in two games so Matt had to play a bunch in those 2 games."

Tell the truth to the people!!!

To me, "took most of his minutes" means that he beat him out not that he played more due to extraneous circumstances (an injury, foul trouble, etc.).

He was also starting over him while Luke was healthy.
