Didn't think about it before but that boot thing is scary. Deep team but an injury against Carroll to one of 6 or 7 guys would be a real downer.
its a game of feet ankles knees and elbows.
These dudes on the stream have no idea their golf convo is being aired for all to hear.

Thought for sure it would happen
Blocked at work. Rooting for no more injuries.
It seems like the stream is unavailable overseas. Shame.
Don't live in Wisconsin, so never really listened to Homer.
He's awful.
we are awful. The season is a waste.
Link to the video stream??

Did I miss something? Theo isn't in uniform.
Lots of fouls, but so far the defense i think looks better
MY EYES....MY EYES!!!
This is not a display of superior talent
This is why we have exhibition games lol

Rust? Well, I suppose these guys haven't touched a ball in 9 months.
Tarps over half the student section. What's the deal? Just for this game I'm thinking?
I hope this is the only 0-8 3pt shooting start MU has this season
Book it: Rowsey is missed and our offense will take a significant step back this season. This is a Division 3 team we are playing.
Man, I think we would totally dominate the Frontier Conference.
New short term rule. Only Joey shoots
Joey looks good.
Marcus, and JC, not so much

Lollllllllll
Sacar is playing pretty well on offense.
Joe C can really pass. He's going to be a real good facilitator this year.
I'm very happy to actually be able to watch an exhibition game, but I really don't need to see instant replays when there is no stop in the action. I want to see Marquette on defense, too.
Playing a lot better now just missing open shots

hes thrown it away on some stupid full court and skip passes.
so far Sacar is the only one playing like hes adjusted to the new arena in my opinion

Guarantee we won't finish 9th (or better) in O-Efficiency Pomeroy predicts. We were 12th last year. Doubt we will be Top 25 on O.
offense - all bad except sacar and matt. joey ok but not a factor...who is
defense - cant tell. were playing a d3 not-so-good team
and is gruber related to one-call?

Marcus is not a PG
Sacar and Joey were the 2 best players on the floor in the 1st half.
Joey is gonna be really, really good.

Thank You!
Bad news: #mubb with 9 turnovers and 2/12 from deep. Good news: defensive eFG% was 37.5%.. would have been second best all of last year. #CrownThem

Markus and Sam will find their shot. What do you expect. Beat them by 60.
We need Homer posting on this board all day.. if he's not already
Joe C had one bad pass, but can get ball to inside. No clue on outside shot.
A lot of Bailey pre season hype, but wow Joey is gonna be real good. Watch how he handles the ball outside the arc.
Everyone else, it's like a practice and no judgement whatsoever. Wojo used 9 players in first 4:30, so no sense at starters.

WOW!!! We lose our best offensive player and that's your prediction? Very bold!

There's a reason why my sig has been what it is for so long. Joey is soooo legit. Only injuries can hold him back.

He was also an awful defender. Morrow will take some of Heldt's minutes and Joey/Bailey will take some of Sacar's minutes. Both of those options will be much better on offensive end. Offense isn't a concern for me, 4 guys who can shoot with Theo/Morrow/Heldt working the boards.
I thought JC had two long, bad passes

I expect Markus and Sam will have some regression in their 3 point shooting percentage this year, due to not having Rowsey on the floor. They still should be good, but, no doubt finding looks against high major D-1 players is going to be more difficult this season without Rowsey.
Joe C will be a much better defender than Rowsey, but he's a HUGE step back offensively. No ability to breakdown a defender off the dribble, as could Rowsey.

Yep. Agreed. But since MU wasn't winning by 30, 5 min into first game, Ners has complaints.

we are awesome. MU is going to the Final Four
Its very clear that Joey is much more athletic/smooth than Sam. He is going to be huge, I have very little doubt.
Said earlier, no clue on Joe C outside shot. He just had two wide opens, but just like paused and didn't shoot. Wide open. Maybe first game jitters, but he needs to shoot those.

Agreed. It might take a little bit with him to get fully acclimated but he's got great vision out there.
Full box score??

+1. Offensively he was very smooth - looked like our most polished and versatile player.
Joey's back-to-back scores in the first half -- a three in the corner and a turnaround jumper near the block -- were sweet.

So what happened last year when we had a worse offensive game against Lindenwood? Did our offense end up sucking?
You may end up being right, but 5 minutes of an exhibition is not good evidence.

He's better at putting the ball where it needs to be for shooters and is always looking to find teammates. He's not the scorer Rowsey was, but he will be a better offensive teammate for Howard and Hauser.
I don't think anyone thought that JC would be able to replace AR's offensive production.
He has been brought in to be a distributor and a defender. I expect him to be better than AR in those roles. (SIGNIFICANTLY better defensively.)
Marquette has plenty of offensive weapons. Not concerned about scoring in the least.
The only place I think we'll see a difference in is late in shot clock situations. I'm not sure anyone other than Howard has the ability to go and create a shot, and Howard has the tendency to drive head down into 5 people in the lane with no real plan other than throw something up and hope a foul is called. Rowsey was great at leaving Howard and Hauser on the wings, calling for a high ball screen, and either finding a shot, getting a defender in the air and drawing a foul, or dishing for a late catch and shoot for a teammate. The problem was he fell in love with that and would start doing that with Heldt setting a pick with 15 seconds left on the shot clock, would get blocked off, and then would reset and try it again, and again, and again until it WAS a late shot clock situation.

The other (nitpicky) thing I hoped Markus would get better at this year is staying on his feet through contact. Every damn time he slashes to the rim he ends up on his butt out of bounds. This is terrible for 2 reasons - 1) he is completely out of position to play defense or get a rebound, and 2) he's going to hurt himself throwing himself on the floor consistently (which he has already dealt with hip and tailbone injuries from this). Stay on your feet young man!

Howard got more comfortable creating his own shot last year, and I expect he'll continue to improve this year. But I think Sacar may still be better than him at this, and it looks like Joey will be able to create for himself as well. Bailey will probably get there too but still has some work to do (based on last night's performance).
With Chartouny's ability to distribute, and then having a few more guys who can get to the basket, we should have options this year that don't require us to rely so much on Markus forcing a shot.
