Hope? Hope our guys find some nads and play like guys with nads. Not gonna hold my breath.
I think Joe put it really well on Scrambled Eggs. If you close your eyes while we are on offense, and just look at stats, you would have a more positive view on the offense. It doesn’t necessarily look like good basketball, but it is an efficient offense.
It would really help to have a reliable 2nd scorer. BB can be just terrible at times, Koby & Sacar cannot be counted on either. Hate to say it, but the difference between a .500 BE team and a upper level BE team is at UVA.
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.
We took and missed a lot of open 3’s last night. Unfortunately what we didn’t do was exploit their weakness inside. I have a tough time giving Wojo credit for designing a gameplan that lead to a bunch of open 3’s considering the matchup weakness of the opponent.
McDermott and crew has one of the fastest teams after a made basket. Seemed like they were initiating their offense while we were scrambling to find our defensive assignments.Too many missed open looks. Everyone was missing tonight. We hit our average on those open threes, we win.
Theo had more pts than he's had in awhile. Jayce could've scored more. What do you expect without a PF like Lazar or Jae who can play inside
No matter that a few morons insist that Sam and Joey leaving was “addition by subtraction” - you are spot on. With Sacar and Koby our 4th and 5th scoring option and BB coming off the bench this team would be much, much better.
Good point. Creighton went on the attack the moment they got the ball. MU to lackadaisical initially, and then to late after the Creighton player blew by them.But we could of won if we could hit a shot.Oh well, let us win at Providence. Go MU!
Good excuses
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
As absurd as this may sound, I think Wojo outcoached McD in the first half. I'll need to rewatch to be sure, but my impression was that our D was playing really well and forcing them into bad shots. Our O was getting wide open looks....that refused to fall. Even a slightly below average shooting night would have given us a halftime lead.
I expect our guards + BB to attack the basket. They had no inside presence to fear yet we once again sat on the perimeter chucking way too many possessions
We don’t show up to the big games. Looks like another first round exit
Why didn't Butler count as big game? Because it doesn't fit the narrative?
Hand up, I don't think Butler is that good.
Bet it would have counted as a big game if we lost it.
Their confidence has to be shot due to how bad we are from 2. We're 291 in 2 pt FG%. Absurdly bad. On "close" two's we're 282...
Thanks, Fluffy BM, I was looking for that.Remaining games:Above/Loss Seton HallTied/Maybe ProvBelow/Win Gtown, DePaul, SJUSo .. 3 more wins somewhere in there hopefully. 10-8. Yay, another 5-6th place BE finish.
If there was anything that gave me concern about Wojo this season, it is this. I thought with the Hausers leaving and Jayce coming in, we would have to change into a much more paint oriented team. I thought the additions of Greg, Jayce, and Koby, along with improvement from Sacar, Jamal, and Theo would lead to more slashing, post ups, and passing out of the paint. I give Wojo credit for taking guys like Bailey, Cain, Sacar, and Elliott and turning them into solid three point shooters, but the lack of slashing ability is really concerning. Wojo's offensive system is effective for sure, but I wonder if the pieces we have would have been better suited in a different approach.Will be interesting if Karim Mane does come on board. My impression of him is that he is an okay shooter but an elite slasher.
Lol
Since 1/10 they are 5-6.
