We have to thwart buckets at the rim and prevent high FTA's. If they beat us badly from distance or if we turn it over it will be along night. That said I think out B game beats their C game. Meaning a solid performance will be enough if they are average.

TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Maybe. I'd give them more than a letter grade advantage on us. Stylistically, they are our achilles' heel
B2B games where our bigs weren’t great, but Marquette handled business. That’s a great sign.They weren’t bad tonight but they can and will play better
Or not.
Nope, we played a great game and Nova a lousy one and it feels great!
We're capable of elevating our play offensively. I think two guys bailed us out but the bottom line is we scored 57pts. Some of it was the Nova D and few fouls being called but not all of it. Great win regardless but I disagree that we played near our A game.
We played a letter grade above Nova and won. It was awesome
I actually thought Kuath was great tonight, had his best game in a Marquette uniform. But it's OK if you saw things differently. We Are Marquette!
I would use them exactly how they have been using them. Screen and rolls. Dives to the rim. Shot blocking safety nets. Use Oso in some dribble action from the elbow. Don't change anything just because we are set to play the ALMIGHTY NOVA. Similar to how last week when they took us in the huddle and Shaka was saying "get the shots we want", I think that applies to the game as a whole against Nova.Play the game we want.
