3-2 NHU early
-
May need to wear a hard hat with all the bricks flying
-
One and done is the name of the game so far
-
just no offense being run so far

Shaka didn't prioritize shooting when bringing in players, that's for sure.
Missing is one thing, but just heaving the ball up from 3 and having it thump off the backboard hoping it banks in, lol.
-
No rebounding. Wow.
-
No rebounding. Wow.
New Hampshire has 9 boards to MUBB 4 and 4 offensive boards. Woof
-
So Lewis is called a Freshman on the graphic. I’m not sure if that makes it more or less confusing due to the extra year for everyone
-
<sigh>. Brian Butch is pretty good.
-
At least Oso can board
-
uh oh emarion
-
MU's talent level looks like middle-of-the-pack mid-major.
There's just nothing there.
Now an airballed 3 when no defender was within 10 feet. Yikes.
-
<sigh>. Brian Butch is pretty good.
He referred to a Marquette possession that lasted 4.5 seconds and resulted in a missed shot a “great possession”. That was shorter than every single offensive possession he participated in during his college career.
-
why is this team jacking so many 3's........
looking like last year all over again
-
If we don't fix this rebounding we ain't winning tonight
-
idk if lewis is as good as some think
-
If we don't fix this rebounding we ain't winning tonight
it is bad. our bigs seem so uncoordinated. prosper seems to move in slow motion
-
We are playing out of control on both ends of court. No discipline in executing offense and where is defense? Rebounding a major issue. Wow. Out of position no nose for the ball.
-

Shaka wants to make it interesting

I was going to reply with the coach carter no offense "what did we learn in practice; run!" But couldn't find a video.
Now I'm sad.
-
Through 8 minutes, MUBB is 2-9 from the field and 0-6 from 3. They’ve been out rebounded 14-6, with New Hampshire getting 7 offensive boards!
The first 8 minutes was awful basketball
-
Hard to say which is more inept, these officials or our 3-pt. Shooting.
-

This team does not have any shooter.
-
I love when the worst positioned ref makes the call
-
I complimented Kolek but it looks like it was just the poor competition. Now he's up against an average team and looks marginal
-
Joplin breaks the seal
-
Getting a tough whistle. The Kolek charge certainly wasn’t that. They got an offensive rebound that the guy clearly was on the baseline with the ref staring directly at it and didn’t get called, resulting in a layup. Seems like they’re letting a lot of physicality go on at the rim.
-
#3 looks like the chubby kid in a high school sports movie where you think, “does the movie maker really think we are going to believe this kid is athletic?”
-
MU first half team total under wagers are going to be a recurring theme this season.
36.5 tonight.
-
College refs suck so much. Makes the game almost unwatchable.
-
Marquette wins that 4 minutes, 8-4, tied at 16 heading to the under 8.
Shooting still miserable, NHU didn’t get any o-rebounds in that stretch and had a few turnovers.
College refs were college refs
-
You’d think MU would accidentally hit a 3 every once in a while

Now 1-10. Blowout city heading to Milwaukee some nights this winter

This team could sure use a cancer, hey?
-

A half court defense, too
-
Kolek had a wide open 3 from the top of the key and barely hit the very left side of the rim.
-
Get rid of the charge in basketball please.
-
When was the last time MU had a less talented team than this?
-
That 4 minute stretch goes to NHU, 8-3. Pretty awful offense and half court defense from Marquette, no sugar coating it
-
For someone who worked on shooting the 3 all off-season, Justin sure looks hesitant
-
When was the last time MU had a less talented team than this?
wojo yr 1 maybe? idek
-
I'm all for empowering our guys to let er rip from 3, but I would prefer it looks like they practice them from time to time
-
When was the last time MU had a less talented team than this?
program is at rock bottom right now I would hope. Only can improve right?

Sweet Jesus!! Down 5??!!! Is my phone accurate? WTH is going on?

They're bad and we're playing worse
-
We look worse than Wojo’s first team. Might be a long year. Hope to see some improvement throughout the season but I’m not expecting much at all.
-
Bad shots or just horrific shooting??
-
wojo yr 1 maybe? idek
That was my first guess, but I don't think they were this bad. Maybe I just blocked it out...
-
Bad shots or just horrific shooting??
A little of both, but mostly horrific shooting imo
-
Well, as bad as they look today, they do look better than against SIUE.
Hopefully trajectory stays upward.
Just wish they could hit a shot.
-

Are we getting into the paint at all? Looks like a lot of missed triples. What's up with our guards? Ty.

Mitchell has looked the best
-
Plenty of room for improvement for this year's squad. Start by outplaying NH consistently in the 2nd half.
-
Feels like they're down 10 but are really up 5, so that's a good sign.
-

Wojo lost to Omaha Nebraska. It was reaaaaaaally bad
-
This is the best product we’ve had in 10 years.
-
Played incredibly well over the final 4 minutes. Not sure how they’re up 5 at the break but we’ll take it.
Need to bottle that stretch somehow
-
Team rallied and is up 5 at half. Should get out of the blocks strong to start the second half.
-
Good end to the half. Love Shaka.
-
At least we turned it around a bit. Maybe the floodgates open in the 2nd half. I hate to see scoring droughts though.....maybe we launch from downtown too much?
-
Bad shots or just horrific shooting??
3 point shots off the dribble early in the shot clock by not great shooters - not a great concept.
-
Halftime stats:
Out boarded 22-18 but cleaned up the offensive boards New Hampshire got in the first 8 minutes. Think they had 7 early.
3 for 16 from 3, 11 of 14 at the stripe versus New Hampshire who is 6 of 13.
Lewis leads the way with 8 and Oso has 8 boards
-
This is the best product we’ve had in 10 years.
LOL LOL
-
Morsell is a winner. Need him to play like a first team all big east player this year. Also, loved Oso’s effort.
-

Half court offense and defense was bad

Mugster, da Fiserv iz downtown, aina?

Ty all. Overall take on New Hampshire?

They stink
-
If we can't outrebound teams like Edwardsville and UNH, this could be a long, cold winter.
My God, box out, box out, box out.
-
Interested to see if we start shooting better when the NBA line is gone. Coaches say it doesnt matter but our guys are clearly spotting up on that line instead of the college one.
-

They're not very good...

10 yrs ago we ended the season as #11, so no.

I know but I like to sort of troll back
-
wow we suck. time to watch us mexico
-
If we get beat by a team led by someone who looks more out of shape than me, the season is over before it starts

That dude doesn’t even fit into his shorts.

If Shaka has a system, I'm not seeing it.
-
Wow - we are out hustled every step of way. We need to start executing. No one in the three point shooters. Ugh
-
Guys running into each other. Honestly, Justin looks super lost on D. Not good
-
Stevie is gonna be really good.
-
That was certainly not a foul on Kur.
-
Finally looking better
-
10 yrs ago we ended the season as #11, so no.
Not trolling at all. And OK I agree so maybe I should be saying 9 years. Best product since 2012-2013.
-
It’s weird how much Butch sounds like the putz who does Big 10 games for ESPN
-
Don’t like these subs hete. Dang
-
Shaka tried to buy the group that was on a run an extra minute of rest time going into the TV timeout. Ended up giving up a run, but Osa with the play of the night hitting the floor to extend a possession, leading to a 3 for Morsell.
-
More Oso, please.
-
Bold prediction: Morsell 1st Team All Big East.
-
Shaka with the most casual sideline apparel since Majerus coached.
Long sleeve under the polo is certainly a choice.
-
An MU student just did the W hand signal on TV. Expel him!
-
Kolek not on the bench. Anyone see a report on him??
-
More Oso, please.
Agree, like Oso or even another guard like Mitchell instead of Kur.
-
How's our defense tonight? Sounds like we have some concerns moving forward.
-
That was good defense by Ellis.
-
Not trolling at all. And OK I agree so maybe I should be saying 9 years. Best product since 2012-2013.
We shared BE title that year, seems terrible
-
That was some bad basketball
-
Less Omax and Kur please.
-
Can we gauge our best 5 or best overall rotation? I'm not sure we're gonna get enough from Oso/Kuath.
-
Oye vey.
How to blow a lead in 1 min.
-
I don’t see great D. Sorry. Good for part of the possession then there’s an open guy and they find him. Wow. Need to change something. 9 point lead gone. Mistake taking out the lineup that got us the lead. Lol.
-
That dude doesn’t even fit into his shorts.
Did Perez transfer to New Hampshire? Maybe wearing body armor?
-
Guadarrama is solid player for UNH
-
Tie game?? Ughhhh. Smh.
-
Another dumb foul
-
Tie game?? Ughhhh. Smh.
Down
-
Getting a tough whistle but should be winning regardless.
-
Thank God for Morsell
-
Can we clone Morsell four times?
-
Big fan of Morsell.
-
Morsell bailing us out
-

Tripling down on the bad take.
-
Whoa. How many for Morsell in the 2nd half?
-
Morsell total of 24 so far
-
Morsell even makes the 10 sec call for the refs
-
Was that a shot or pass by Jones?
-
Defensive awareness on 3pt shooters is not good.
-
That was probably a foul.
-
Justin clutch free throws at the right time
-
Whew. I’m exhausted. Lol
-
Whew.
-
Whew.
Yeah Mugsy. Whew. Justin redeemed himself for two ft kisses earlier. Good effort on his part last minute. Wow
-
So, we know our 1-2 punch is DM and JLew. I think our Freshmen will have some ups and downs but the potential is there. Kolek hasn't shot well but should be alright. My concern is the frontcourt minus Lewis. Who do we go with, should we play 3 guards, maybe Oso should get more time, etc, etc. I understand it's two games but how would you use O-Max and Kuath? It didn't sound like they defended or rebounded all that well tonight. In other words if you were in charge what would be your super 7 rotation?
-
Can we gauge our best 5 or best overall rotation? I'm not sure we're gonna get enough from Oso/Kuath.
After 2 games our best players are:
1. Morsell
Big drop
2. Lewis
3. Kolek
4. Mitchell
?????

Oso has played pretty well
Oso has been a pleasant surprise. He’s shown a good nose for the ball and being in the right position/IQ, excellent motor and athleticism.
For 2 games that won’t instill great confidence in the fan base there have been 3.5 very pleasant surprises individually in the first two games imo
1- Darryls offensive ability and shooting effectiveness (spoiler alert very slim chance he’s that pure from 3 all season)
2- Oso
3- Stevie Mitchell
.5- Tyler Kolek and his vision/passing ability. That gets a half because it was great and then not so good.
On the flip side there have been several not so pleasant surprises, which there always are going into a season with so many unknowns.
I won’t list those because it’s early in the season, plenty of time to change the narrative
As a squad the biggest thing that jumps out to me is that in Nevada smiths offense, which stresses metrics and values 3P attempts and layups/dunks we sure as heck haven’t had a lot of dunks and made 3s. It’s an interesting flex to try to install a heavy 3P shooting offense when you have a squad filled with kids that can’t really shoot the 3 well but respect the process aina?
26/27 is the number of note
26-27% from 3 the first two games and 26-27 3P attempts in each of those two games.
Seems like that’s going to be the key number to the season. If MU can shoot 32-35% from 3 they should be able to score in the 70s or better and win a decent amount of games if the defense holds up.
If they keep shooting 26-27% from 3 they will lose a lot of games
Second number of note is FT attempts- both games they had nearly 30 FT attempts which seems like a ton. That’s great but I would imagine non sustainable as the competition gets better and cleaner, which is where the extra 3s come in to maintain the scoring.
I have no clue how many FT attempts per game MU averaged in the previous era, but I’d love a scooper to fill me in
