Seems like DJ gets a lot of really unlucky down and outs on his 3s.

Theo with another nice move. If he can keep looking confident in the paint we will be lethal.

As I say that he hits another. Wow.

Frustrating. If I just turned the game on and saw the score I would be pleased, but having watched the half I am disappointed they haven't been able to be up by 5-10 points at half.

1st half was "fine" but another missed opportunity to close with larger lead.

3 point D not ideal, in particular Cain, Garcia, Carton. Wojo absolutely lost it late first half after seeing one too many slow, loose, Cain close outs on 3's. Cain's effort level is noticeably better early 2nd half on D. Need a few more McEwen efforts on D.

Giving up too many second chances 1st half.

Need to get to more 50/50 balls, and be more careful w/the ball.

Theo low post is there much of the time. It's also there for Garcia.

A couple of unwise Carton fouls under the hoop.

Scruggs knocked down 3's, late close outs. Then he backed down McEwen a few times. Then he drove on Jamal a few times. Then he hits 3 from corner, late close out. Doing it all.

Dagger. Did he travel though before he shot it?

Yes. That was close to what Koby got called for

Thought so live but after the replay I don't think so.

At least as much as McEwen did last game.

Symir no screen out on Kunkel. Almost no MU block outs for board on final shot. Xavier able to keep rebound alive, and, grab it with good hands. Sums up the game, close, either way, buy frequently Xavier got to the loose ball and/or had better hands.

MU good enough to be in close games with good teams. Have won some, lost some.

Let's take off the goggles. Koby took a trip to florida.

So disappointing to lose largely due to lack of rebounding and defense when those have been MU's strengths so far this season.

Tough start to the Big East. Looking at 1-3 after Nova if we don't win there.

Yes difference is he dribbled the ball once to get into position. Koby took a step no dribble then two steps.

We play tough but not so smart, if we get sped up we get beat, loose balls, rebounding and turnovers
like on the inbounds play

If you want to say the refs missed something on the last play, it was the blatant moving screen on Scruggs' drive

Part of the challenge when it happens is lack of crisp strong ball handlers, ...dribble, catch, pass, when playing with pace. Mistakes get made both physical and mental.

On the other end, today, MU looked confused too often on D, with switching, rotations, etc...

Great effort by Koby. He played great on both ends of the court. We almost won because of him.

As a fan of USC football, it's frustrating to watch the once mighty Trojans flounder to irrelevancy. Clay Helton's buyout is huge. He wins just enough, recruiting is excellent, but rarely do the Trojans go anywhere these days. They are what they are. Now, I'm not saying MU hoops is the equivalent to the once mighty Trojans, but Wojo and Helton are very similar. Wojo wins just enough. Wojo's recruiting is good. Similar to Helton, Wojo represents a private, expensive school well. But, just like USC football, MU basketball goes nowhere...and this season ain't no different. Figure 10-10 in the BE, borderline NCAA team (if there is a tourney) with a quick exit. Next season? Just like at USC with a who-cares 2nd tier bowl bid, MU will rinse & repeat.

Been an USC fan 30 plus years. The difference  is showing that attendance has went down at USC.

Marquette lacks a guy who has an excellent handle.  DJ and Kobe are not a sure thing with the ball, especially in traffic.  Symir has not played enough to gauge, and forget about Jamal & Greg.  Days of guards who were solid with the ball are way in the past.  Diener, Dominic James, Tony Miller, Aaron Hutchins, and Lloyd Walton to name a few.  Would just love us to get a point guard who could decimate a defense and distribute.

While I don't follow USC football, this is a good summary of what Wojo brings to the table.
