Oso planning to go pro
End of the day, Creighton is really good, and simply better than we are. Those three guards they have are problematic.Don't think we need to offer up the "we missed a bunch of open" shots explanation, that has now become the go to rationale for losses. Creighton defended really well, just as we defended them pretty well.Live and die by the three - yet tonight Theo was highly efficient inside and we rarely attempted to play through him.
The Projos can call names with no consequences. I love it.But to address the spirit of your post. Do you really think the underlying point of my posts is to promote DePaul? That was one thread. At the end of the day, it’s about how Marquette is mediocre and Projos like you (yes you!) have accepted mediocrity.Comprehension level 4/10 - you can do better.
Depends on what we do with the other 4 games. On their own, losing either of them or both really doesn't hurt us, both are Q1B games. They would be missed opportunities to improve our resume but we wouldn't be "punished" for losing those games. Win the other 4 and we are likely a 5 seed with a shot at a 4 seed depending on the BET and how the teams around us perform. Win 3/4 and we are probably looking at a 6 seed. Win 2/4 and we are looking between a 6 and 7 seed. 1 or less and we the overall record would really drag us down and I could see us falling as low as a 10 seed, but unless there are a lot of bracketbusters, I think we are already in the tournament.
Disappointing. Would have like to see us better prepared and coming out with a bit more fire after a week off. Winning 2 of 3 from Butler, @Nova and Creighton would have had us in great shape. No need to pull the rip cord but we need to win 4 of the next 5 to get us "above" expectations. 5 points off the bench is tough.
Go back to sleep old man
just the facts Mam.
Took my buddy with me yesterday who has only watched one other game the whole year which was also with me against Purdue. About 5 mins into the game he turns to me and says what offense are they running. I said exactly my issue with the team. Everyone standing around the 3 line. About 2 mins left in the first have he says Creighton is just playing a 3-2 defense because they have no one to get to the hoop with. If someone who doesn't even follow college basketball much less Marquette can pick that up while drinking beers then I think that speaks to the volume of the coaching.
What are Marquette like results in your world? Never winning important games? Recruiting better than your conference foes and losing? What are our chances of winnimg the Big East tournament right now? >10%? Hey we got great recruits coming in next year! Hopefully we can get an 8 seed and have a good matchup!!
A lot of trolls on here, but #3 is such a homer comment. Are you suggesting MH was fouled tonight and it wasn’t called? Are you referring to Jayce’s rake of his face? The blocking call? Not sure what you are referring to with that comment.
Love being average. Love it. Hate anyone who hates it.
No he cant. Name calling is his kindergarten forte.
Marquette is 7-6 in the Big East. 1-4 against the three teams above them1-2 against the two teams they are tied with5-0 against the four teams below themWe are who we are.
Our offense has been fine for most of Wojo’s tenure. We had plenty of good looks yesterday. Just didn’t hit them. If a second scorer isn’t hot from deep, they’re in a lot of trouble. That’s what happened yesterday.
Wojo's offense is a success in that it gets players in position to take open shots. That is the point of every offense. To maximize the talents of the players you have and get them the ball in places where they can get open looks. The players have to hit the shots. Last night, MU had all of the open looks they could ask for. They didn't make them. No offense looks good on bad shooting nights. Creighton's offense is really good because McDammit has made a virtue out of necessity, much like Buzz did during the midget year. He has a bunch of guards with size who can dribble, drive, pass, and shoot. So he is maximizing his strengths. They are incredibly disciplined in that they can make what looks from the outside to be virtually blind passes, but they know where their teammate is going to be. And they have been the best team in the Big East for the last month because of it. Marquette actually played decent defense last night, holding Creighton under their season average. Wojo tried zone. He tried a 4 guard set for a few minutes. But in the end, poor shooting was too much to overcome, like it usually is.
