I do both so I dont miss anything.
Same starters...
anyone have a link for a live stream?
No Junior start... As much as he seemed to deserved it, I guess Buzz just wants defense early.
Wtf do Sacre's tattoos have to do with anything??
ESPNU lost picture!!!!!!
Frack U ESPNU
And my pict is out. Guess I shouldn't have talked smack about ESPN
Blue needs to shoot 10000 jumpers a day
Another great assist from Jr
Pressure has the Zags frazzled. let keep up the pressure

If I had any computer know-how, I would make a .gif of Cadougan passing Ryu-type fireballs....HADUKEN!
It's nice to make a mistake and not have it immediately result in a three by the other team. Duke was good...
2-3 zone now. Be interesting to see how they handle it.
Need to beat them down the court

not very well
Knight is excellent
wow, can we possibly play some 3-point defense on grey? we look absolutely pathetic against the zone
Really struggling against the zone. And they are killing us from deep we have to improve the perimeter D
It looks like nobody wants to try and initiate any offense. We're just passing around the perimeter expecting open looks to come to us. We need to be much more aggressive.
Don't understand why Buzz didn't call time out earlier than the 1:45 mark of the first half. Gonzaga went on quite a run before that TO.
Can somebody guard 20 or 41?
I'll stick to what I said the other day....every team should zone us to death this year because we likely don't have an answer. Ugly
Hopefully second half is better but when you don't shoot well from deep and do not attack the zone, that is a problem.
Halftime adjustments should be coming
We need to hit 2 or 3 3s to break up that zone, or attack and drive and hope for a foul - tho they aren't calling many inside ont he Zags seems. The zone is why we are losing - great call by them. Every team will play zone against us if we don;t show we can crack it.
Let's GO MARQUETTE!!
No shooters. Horrible.
I hope Jamail gets some play. He looked pure. Unless practices have shown otherwise...
as knight said - we need to attack the seams - we just keep passing around the perimeter. As stated above, it's like we're waiting for a shot to come to us.

Nor is that surprising, but it's early. Halftime adjustments
No defense. No shooters. DJO playing like a kitten, Vander isn't very good at this stage.
MU is 10 for 29 from field (34%).
Gonzaga is shooting 62%. Gray is insane from 3 and he had 2 fouls on him for like 13 minutes.
That zone destroyed MU. BE teams are watching and going, mmmmmmmmm
That is two games in a row in which MU had the ball with 10 seconds left and throw up a 35 footer, this time by Buycks. Not good.
Reggie Smith came in, threw ball away after 30 seconds resulting in 3 pointer by Gray.
DJO and Buycks have do what Gray did in first half to survive.

Buzz has to strongly tell that whoever is guarding Gray, that guy can't continue to leave Gray to double on another Zags player. The double team simply isn't worth it if the result can be a kick out to a wide open three for Gray.
Gray is their main offensive weapon and he's averaging nearly 7 three point attempts a game and tonight he's already taken 9 of them with 5 makes. When he has the ball, let him drive if he wants, but don't fall for the jab step and then pull up for three move either.
It always amazes me how often basketball players will play off a guy drilling a bunch of threes instead of staying close on that guy at all times.
Knight is a pleasure to listen to
I agree with Chico's here. They have the break to figure it out. I expect a lot more "old school" (see: last year) Marquette bball with the penetration and kick out. If only we actually made those threes...
Gray is 5 of 7 from three... not 9
I imagine Buzz's halftime speech went something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u05Qot_yh9c

I went by the yahoo box score which says 5-9 from three for Gray.
Either way, whoever is guarding him needs to stop playing off him or doubling which leads to a kick out three.
that was old JFB where he initiated contact instead of going strong for the dunk - and he got it swatted
put the ball on the floor
No words to describe what a stupid foul that was.
Cut it 5, then two turnovers. Otule just made an idiot foul outside the fouline. Jeeeeez.
This is messy.
We look terrible. Major letdown after last night. U would think DJO would have learned from his charge from last night but guess not.
foul on DJO on the drive looked like the wromg call in real time - hope to see a replay
That is the 9th time in 6 games that DJO did that and it costs us points, a foul and the ball. Really, he either has ZERO court vision or he is a ball hog. Wither way, I'd sit him down and not play him until he learns how to play. That really sucks.
Bring home a win boys...plane is taking off in 1 minute so sling needs to shut down
Go Warriors!!
Our rebounding is awesome.
Can ANYONE get a rebound?
This team really knows how to crap on themselves... Can't finish around the rim. Buycks committing a travel in the back court with no one on him. And I can go on...
Does any team in the country miss more no footers when there's contact? At least three times tonight we have been fouled going to the basket and made one of two free throws.
Five minutes without a field goal. Come on..
BTW, is it me or is Blue hesitant or should I say scared to shoot from outside??
doesn't look like we have the fire tonight. Lackadaiscial, sloppy, ugly play.
Seems like we should be getting more offensive rebounds versus this zone. We are not crashing the boards well enough. Not sure if Buzz is worried about the transition defense so we are not crashing aggresively. We have maybe one offensive board versus this zone.
i know these tournaments are scheduled far out, but perhaps we got in a little over our heads in this one? or just an inexperience team not playing well?
We are playing the let down game - after the big performance against Duke. We need to get going now. . .
Honestly, I know he's a freshmen, but why was Blue rated with 5 stars. Aren't these kids suppose to be pretty polished?
Blue has zero offense. And Marquette has no rebounding because our bigs are in foul trouble. I hope we figure something out because right now we are getting worked.
Yikes.
If we could shoot we'd be in the championship game. second cold night in a row
got to free JFB up
Crowder making some good defensive plays (looking for positives here)

He is taking very awkward shots near the rim, and his 3's have been dismal all year - I think he made one or two. Hopefully he gets int he groove soon
Can we get a fracking rebound my lord
Wow we really need to box out and rebound
Lay-up drill for the blue team.
just about to say the same thing - REBOUND!!!!
There fighting there own guys for a rebound! We are not even around the rim
Cripes.. Can we frickin rebound please.

maybe he's reading the Scoop during timeouts :D
MU really needs a talented PF, this is embarassing. The offensive rebounds are killing us this half. Just like last night with Plumlee.
Cooby, Mo, Zar, where are you?
Buycks is playing like garbage too.... MAN!
3 on 2... and buycks tries to take it coast to coast. :'(
Did they just say Gonz has 11 offensive rebounds this HALF?
ok Byucks needs to be taken out. Totally useless and what is he thinking half the time! Its safe to say that he doesn't have the quickness or the offense so why not play a freshman!
Cadougan needs to control the ball.
Gonzaga has more offensive rebounds than Marquette has dribbles tonight.
Quote from: ATWizJr on November 23, 2010, 08:23:40 PM
Cooby, Mo, Zar, where are you?
Maybe Lazar could teach our team how to rebound...he was the only one that could pull one down last year after all. And maybe Coobs and Mo could teach them how to shoot a 3 and not travel.
playing with a little more fire, now can we act like we care on offense?
BOX OUT AND REBOUND
Quote from: marquetteff03 on November 23, 2010, 08:28:10 PM

No. DJO open 3 miss. Butler keeping MU in game.
6 point game, missed one and one, CRAP ON OURSELVES!
If we could box out at all, we would be up 5.
Offensive boards are killing us.
we needa stop and we're in it
4 on Sacre
OK... SO 6 FRIGGIN POINT GAME AGAIN... ARE WE GOING TO JUST PISS THIS OPPORTUNITY AWAY AGAIN OR MAKE THIS GAME TIGHT?
We should be down 20 the way we are playing and we are only down 6.
How is this still somewhat close?
Quote from: Jacks DC on November 23, 2010, 08:33:00 PM

To the line 20 times off 15 fouls.
FINALY
DJO should learn how to pass on a break from Crowder of all people
Thnak Gos DJO didn't charge on that play
Quote from: Jacks DC on November 23, 2010, 08:33:00 PM

16 offensive rebounds to MU's 5 and this is a one possession game. Unreal.
MU 1 for 12 on 3's since first half????
Only down 3, wow.
Try again Buzz.
can't blame byucks for that shot he was wide open had to take it
Quote from: warrior_rugby15 on November 23, 2010, 08:40:02 PM

Can I blame him for missing a wide open shot?
Does buzz get angry at all! What does byucks do in pratice that warrents his playing time because his playing in actual games isn't very good(thats being nice)
Did anyone notice that the play drawn up was similar to the out of bound play against Duke with 15 on the shot clock?
Horse Sh$t call on DJO, at least he missed a shot
Buzz just saved us
HA... I would have stayed off this board for a few days if DJO made that.
Williams needs to grow a pair bench buycks. He's a liability he can't be any worse then the freshman. Finally if they can box out . . . then this team might have a chance against good competition.
That second to the last play was not executed well!
What a crappy game, so many coulda shoulda wouldas
I dont know what to say. Fuming. I need to take a walk and gather my thoughts before posting any more.
The way they came back... I am proud of them... can't beat longer arms under the basket. It will be a long year
If anyone posts something about "well we played 'em real tough, came awfully close again, so proud of our guys" I will hunt you down and punch you in the mouth.
For the record my post was in no way shape or form a "we played them tough" it was a we made so many stupid mistakes rebounding and clanking 3's it is a shame.
Gonzaga is garbage this year. That was a bad loss. Gardner isn't healthy either.

Not sure I agree...seemed like a total lack of urgency for long periods of time. Poor shooting getting in their heads?
No moral victories this week. 0-2 in KC is not a good omen for the season. They had so many chances to get back in the game in the second half, but decided to give the Zags bunnies off offensive rebounds. We really should have won this game tonight. JB needed to show up about 10 minutes earlier. Sooooooooooooooo frustrated.
williams better tear into the team in the locker room and not do any baseball analogies this time. They played poorly plain and simple. We should have the video to prove it in a few days!
Your nobody till you beat somebody and this team hasn't beaten anybody. . .
I really hate to pile on, but Buycks was just horrid these past two games. In consecutive possessions he lost Arop on a backdoor alley oop, gave up 2 straight offensive rebound putbacks to Arop by not boxing out, got a stupid offensive foul called on him, then botched a 3 on 2 fast break with a gator-armed floater. It really took the wind out of any sails we had for a while. Then add the awful possession to close out the first half and the bricked wide open three to tie at the end and it really couldn't have gone much worse for him. DJ-O should have been in the game with Cadougan instead of Buycks in that second half stretch.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
My heart is pounding, and I am really peeved with Buycks and DJO for the stupid non-plays they didn;t make. But it was a team effort - the team is responsible - everyone could have played a lot better. That's it - I need to blow off some steam......
disappointing on many levels. JC played better than I expected, tho. Where was Butler for most of the 2nd half? Can't crack the zone. Not good.
