Wow! I knew there would be some apathy but was surprised to see no game thread at the 7:30 mark of the half.

As I’m watching Butler, I now know how it feels like to play against Marquette. Man Butler is BRUTAL.
Title: Re: Butler game thread
Post by: PGsHeroes32 on February 02, 2021, 04:33:21 PM
I made the very bold choice to take over 128.

Gonna need about 3 over times to get that.

This is brutal

Yes, with two fouls.

Theo has 3.

Kinda can't risk much more than that.
Title: Re: Butler game thread
Post by: nyg on February 02, 2021, 04:58:33 PM
Dawson glued to the bench.

Picking up second foul had him sit.  Theo really stupid after missing front end free throw.  Miss Lewis.

Up 12, but should be 20.  Didn't realize Butler was that bad.  Nze, Thompson and Golden each have two fouls.
9 Turnovers, too many.  Cain, Sy and McEwen missed two footers.

Your guards for next year, Dex, Sy and Greg have not made a field goal in the last full game and a half.  Zero points and three turnovers so far today.  Sy is like 4 for 30 from three on the year. 

Should be good second half.

But killed them on the glass and in the paint.

Butler couldnt make anything including free throws.

Not only the number, but the nature of the turnovers time and time again is just maddening. Soft holding the ball, passes across the court, but most of all the dribbling. Several guys dribble the ball so high it is so exposed all the time and seems its just a matter of time before we lose it.

Title: Re: Butler game thread
Post by: jesmu84 on February 02, 2021, 05:39:43 PM
We might be the worst team I've ever seen at punishing teams for aggressive play - press/doubles/etc.

Also, Koby shouldn't be allowed to take more than 4 dribbles.
Title: Re: Butler game thread

Post by: BM1090 on February 02, 2021, 05:40:43 PM
The turnovers are maddening as always. MU is not very good.

But Butler shooting 50% from deep with mostly terrible shot quality sums up MU's luck pretty well.
Title: Re: Butler game thread
Post by: nyg on February 02, 2021, 05:41:10 PM
16 turnovers, 7 in half

MU was up 14 when Garcia sat
MU was up 17 when Theo sat few minutes later.

MU turning it over, then either fouling or giving up 3’s.  Terrible

Put Garcia back in. Butler put Nze back in with four fouls

Wow. Only a combo of bad coaching and stupid playing could bring this game down to the last shot.

Really, don't foul with 8 seconds left.

A responsible athletic director would go down to the court and fire Wojo right now.

Let's just say if fans were there today it would not have been pretty.  Talk about limping to a W.

We might have won the game, but the team is clearly regressing. I don't know how any objectionable basketball fan can see that the product is good right now.  This continues to build a case for making a change in a few weeks. This cannot carry over to next year.

I've followed Marquette basketball since the Bob Wolfe, Brad Luchinni, and Paul Carbin days , this is the worst product I've seen.

Don't disagree that it is bad, but you must have missed the Dukiet years.

Would that be his 8 turnovers?

I haven't read the full thread and was working during this game.  Did they say why Greg barely played today?  Just curious.

In his one minute he had a terrible turnover and gave up a layup on D. He stunk.

I get the frustration, but Theo and Garcia had fouled out.   Butler makes the first and you have Osa, Jamal, Dexter, and Koby fighting for the rebound in the intentionally missed second.

Considering who was on the floor, fouling could have ended up in a 4 point trip.

Frankly, I don’t trust this team to execute fouling up three without screwing it up. Better off just chancing it with that much time on the clock.

MU dominated for ~35 min. Obviously it was ugly at the end but if you’re going to criticize the last 5 min then I think it’s fair to acknowledge MU played really well for the vast majority of the game.

They played better than Butler, but it is a stretch to say they played well.
