NC State doesn’t turn it over.

up 3 and go 3 straight possessions launching 3s(Stevies was wide open)

Burns burning the double
Title: Re: NC State Game Thread
Post by: MuggsyB on March 29, 2024, 06:18:32 PM
I think the double 12 feet away isn't necessary with Burns.  Wait till he gets closer to the rim.

Three good looks from. distance early, just need to knock them down.  Let's go now!

Perfect dime. Great move. Then he just shrivels in fear at the rim.

Then we foul the 3 shooter again as they drill it.

Just a nightmare stretch.

This game—as it is being played out right now—goes Marquette’s way over 40 minutes.

Marquette’s defense is much better than NC State’s thus far. Difference is Marquette’s missed shots. As soon as they start falling, MU will pull away.

Has to be way more aggressive.  I also don't understand the defense on Burns from 12-15 feet.  Can't allow easy bunnies. 

We're fortunate to be only down 7 but we really need to get it together.  Hopefully we'll start making open shots.

Post by: nyg on March 29, 2024, 06:48:29 PM
That would have been number 2 on Burns. Big call because Horne has 2.  MU not taking advantage of Horne on bench.

Told you Burns is dangerous when doubled, he has more assists than total MU team.

Nothing going right, threes, missed free throws, not converting on NCST turnovers, now two straight MU turnovers.

Don’t get the three ball shooting, but maybe start or it’s Butler 2.0.

Get within five by half and good to go. 

And Burns with another pass assist.

I really don’t understand the strategy on Burns. Why double him 18 feet from the hoop? Closer in, sure. With Joplin the primary defender, sure. But he’s begging for that double in most of these situations.

That might be the most embarrassing half of basketball we have played in years.

Make a couple FTs, don't miss a wide open dunk, and make at least 1 of the many wide open 3's and it is at least a close game.

We are good enough to still win this one. We need to get on our horse, attack, quit playing scared.

We need to seize the momentum, dictate the outcome of the game.

Half time guys are shredding Shaka's defense about doubling the bug guy 18 feet from the basket.

Oso scored first basket on the game.......19 minutes later.  Better get it going, anything. 

Kolek has 14 of MU 24 points.  24 points and 2 assists.  Heck, Burns has 5 assists because they doubled him continually.  Barkley even just said the same thing.  MU doubling way too much.  Oh well.  Didn't take advantage of Horne on bench.

Joplin, don't get it, from a great game, to one of MU's NCAAT history's worse.  How does one miss three straight free throws. 

Not over,  get Horne number 3 foul, make 60% of threes and make turnovers into points.

When you are not hitting threes they can sag back and stop the cutting drives.

We are doubling too much but the bigger problem has been our offense.  24 points and frankly guys are not locked in.  You can't miss wide open dunks or free throws.  Or rebounds for that matter.  We're shockingly disjointed , tight, and lost complete focus once we started 0-6 from downtown.

-stop doubling burns
-create some to's and fastbreak points
-more shots for kam, less for jop ....or just make a normal percentage of shots
-get kolek to the rim more and more
-

it's over - 3 wide open misses by Kam, left them open for an easy 3.    See you next year...

Butler 2.0?  5 for 31 in that one.  This is just crazy. Maybe they hit next 10 to get it close. Gonna be only savior tonight I think.  Make it an MU history comeback moment, because this is a middle of pack ACC team, that’s throttling us right now.

And Mitchell throws it in stands. Not taking advantage of NCST misses and turnovers.  14 to go, let’s shoot 80% inward.

Guess not, while typing:

NCST miss, throw in stands
NCST miss, Oso loses it turnover
NCST miss, Mitchell shot block
NCST turnover, hey Kam scores, yeahhhhh
NCST turnover, Kam into stands
Ben Gold, two fouls in 30 seconds
NCST miss, Gold miss

Again, self inflicted. 7 possessions after non scores by NCST, 2 points

Ridiculously untrue.

If we just converted on half the opportunities they gave us, we are winning.

They gave us opportunities for us to be up double digits. We just haven't converted yet.

We haven't had a run yet. We will get one.

Then it is a matter of who converts down the stretch. I'll take our guys. We are the better team.

It’s going to take awhile to get over this disappointment.

At least last year I could look forward to this year.

Now it’s rebuild time with last year as the high point for this group of players.

this has got to be one of the most disappointing performances of all time right? end of an era with 2 years of this team.........only beat teams double digit seeeded and then crapped the bed at our best chance of the final 4 in years with this kind of performance

Shaka put them in a hole with that horrendous 1st half defensive scheme, not using timeouts to calm them down when  it was obvious they were tight. Shaka doesn't miss the open looks but he sucked just the same.

The defensive scheme wasn’t great but they adjusted and ended up just fine. Offense got a ton of good looks. What can you do?

If I was Shaka I would’ve gotten a little more creative looking for answer in the bench. I even thought Ben deserved more minutes

Unbelievably soul-less effort by the entire team. Not sure how Shaka ever recovers from a final four caliber roster that just gave up.

Maybe.  Shaka wasn't 3-24 from three until that shot.

When you only score 24 points in a half defense is not the biggest problem

Your starting PG for next year didn't even play in last two games and your starting center next year, has hardly played last two games.  Very bad loss.

I said it earlier, that when down six and Kam missed that three, huge momentum killer.  Would have changed the game, believe like 4 minutes to go.  Then next possession another miss three and NCST went on from there.

N.C. State is Providence level, but Marquette is playing Georgetown level.
That's exactly it. Most teams would've ended Marquette's season today the way they were playing. 3 for 26 from 3 and 14-23 from FTs isn't going to cut it. What an inopportune time for Marquette to have one of their worst shooting games.

Thanks. My UConn Huskies will need all the help they can get tomorrow. Illinois' offense is scary good.

Damn, I am sorry Marquette's season ended tonight. The poor shooting and uncharacteristically sloppy turnovers doomed them.

What do you mean rebuild? Shaka had it “rebuilt reloaded” in year one. Top 25 in year one. 2 seed year two and three? we’re still in rebuild phase?
