Quite simply, Nova is impossible to beat when they are shooting like this. They're the best team in the country and they are playing near their ceiling. We could play our best game of the season but if Nova is playing like this we would still lose by double digits.

Have to respect what Nova’s done here. Wright has built a monster.

Um.

When did MU "routinely" knock off top 5 teams?

Go pull Wojo’s win pct against top 15 teams and Buzz’s and compare the two. I’ll delete my account if Wojo’s is higher.

LOL. Man getting shredded.

Was dumb to extend pressure full court in the zone. You don't make your zone travel and defend full court.

1. First shift? Less than five minutes.

2. The ran the same zone pressure at Creighton and it worked.

Too bad we don't play in a conference where we could play a couple mediocre teams before running into a title contender in the conference tournament. Nova is so good. Hope they win it all again (If it can't be us

).

We’re playing much better tonight than we did last night.

Nova’s ceiling is the roof

When Spellman is hitting three's...not much you can do. Unreal.

AZMarqfan · « **Reply #160 on:** March 08, 2018, 07:41:03 PM »

After Nova had 13 layups and 13 FT in their first 47 pts, they now have caught fire outside.

Floorslapper · « **Reply #161 on:** March 08, 2018, 07:41:18 PM »

Nova shooting 78% this half. 67% from 3.

That aside, the zone wasn't anymore effective than our piss poor man defense. Nova is good. But, of course we suck defensively under Wojo every year and it is getting worse with "his guys."

Man, take a Xanax, it’s just a game. Seriously, this team is headed as. #1 seed in the NIT, so enjoy that at least. Life’s too short and you are going nuclear on all this.

Afroman · « **Reply #164 on:** March 08, 2018, 07:41:46 PM »

Marquette should have three players who stay on the offensive end of the floor -- like the old Iowa girls high school basketball. It would be genius.

MUEng92 · « **Reply #165 on:** March 08, 2018, 07:42:24 PM »

So are Joey and Ed going to make up this difference next year?

I understand your frustration. But I never expected much this year. Next year? Yes.

Yuyp. The same mantra for us every year. We will be really, really, really good next year. We might make it to 6th place in BEast.

chapman · « **Reply #167 on:** March 08, 2018, 07:43:19 PM »

So...Haanif gonna make the trip up with his new team next week? Or maybe Rowsey against his old school? I'm thinkin' Harvard doesn't make it out of the Ivy tournament and we get them.

MattyWarrior · « **Reply #168 on:** March 08, 2018, 07:44:16 PM »

I like Heldt, but he is out of his element, and now the praising of Nova begins by the announcers!

NickelDimer · « **Reply #169 on:** March 08, 2018, 07:44:31 PM »

We see you Sacar

TheREALwrk · « **Reply #170 on:** March 08, 2018, 07:44:39 PM »

So much for it being tough to beat a team 3 times

NickelDimer · « **Reply #171 on:** March 08, 2018, 07:44:56 PM »

Sam had a really poor tourney

GoldenZebra · « **Reply #172 on:** March 08, 2018, 07:45:15 PM »

nice dunk by sacar but this team is just outclassed in every department.

Anyone
Could it be our crap defenders has something to do with that. Wojo=national defensive player of year.

How Is anyone mad? Nova is just unconscious right now, who cares. It's beautiful basketball, just wish it didn't happen against us.

I actually thought we played well. Proud of this team
