Highlight for me was seeing DWade rubbing elbows with Dick and Donna Strong. They could play a big role in keeping the band together next year.
I get the counter arguments, scoopers. I like a legit 9 man rotation. Like pineapple on pizza, that is just where I land.
Idiosyncracy, not problem.
I agree on the half court trap and playing the bench more. Also, I hope teams stop making hard shots with one second on the shot clock.
How is 52.7% shooting from the field - including 8 of 19 from three - considered an off night? Throw in 85% from the line and moving from third to second in KenPom adjusted offense and I'm perplexed that anyone could call yesterday's performance an "off night." Every time Providence made a run, Marquette parried the blow. What am I missing?
Absolutely. Can we also try to lay off some of the late game fouls? I know aggression is part of the team philosophy, but time and place has to be factored in at some point,
I think it's fine to get you to March, but you start trimming back and figuring out the best lineups and rotations in January and February.Once you get to March, you limit to 7-8 and most of those minutes should go to the first 5. You still have the back end if needed, but winning in single elimination settings takes getting the best from your best.
My dog has PTSD now from me screaming and pounding the coach cushions every time that happened last night. Jeez.
I agree with this, but the refs changed the way they called the game. They practically had a no-blood-no-foul stance for the first 25 minutes, started calling it closer for the next 10 minutes, and then started calling every breath a foul the last few minutes.
I'm actually of the mind we need to show more and switch less. If the guard truly gets caught in the screen, then switch it. But MU lately has been switching even before contact and it has bitten them a bunch.
