Pretty empty and lots of orange. But I heard the lines outside are very long.

Would guess so. Student turnout is good.
can we not fill the lower bowl for this game
Have to rebound the basketball. Period.
Start the bus
Sheesh. FOCUS.
Nice pass there from Kolek to Kuath.
Time to hit some shots
Gotta get these loose balls and rebounds.
D looks great early otherwise
Hope Lewis starts playing a lot stronger,to much finesse so far
Thatta boy Darrylll!
I'm loving the defense. Clearly an immediate improvement on that end compared to the entirety of the Wojo era.
I like that we're trying to attack inside but we're stagnant offensively. Defensively we are mucking it up a bit. 5 early turns for Illinois. Absolutely have to get loose balls and rebs
People were not kidding when they said Kuath tries to dunk everything.
Illinois not playing great right now. Gotta get some buckets and put pressure on.
10-2 rebounds is no beuno
Kuath has been very good protecting the
paint early.
Too much dribbling. Move the rock.
Sweet Jesus!! Kolek has to finish that. The defensive glass is a total disaster.
Morsell to MU gonna wind up perfect I think.
He got his experience playing lots of years of top 25 ball.
Now he can showcase his game more. And be a leader to all the young guys
Illinois getting all their points off blatantly missed boards.
This isn't one team just out muscling the other. We are way out of position and literally just not grabbing the ball.
has jones hit one all yr damn
Kam Jones is brutal.
Kam settle the hell down.
Just handed them points.
Can't force it against these guys
Ok. Listen. I get it. Kam
Has hype.
Get him on the bench. ASAP.

Yeah, really don't like what I've seen out of him so far this season.
Also I'm
SUUUUUUUUUPER impressed with our defensive rebounding
/s
Jones isn't gun shy. Ughh. Just need to calm down. Morsell is going to need some help.
If only anyone besides Morsell or Lewis could make a basket.
Have not seen anything all year to justify Kam being first guard off the bench.
Lewis is the guy who has to help Morsell

But his self confidence is a little bit above his currently college abilities.
Gotta reel it in a bit to start.
Lewis needs to receive the ball further in the paint. He's not a threat when he gets the ball beyond the three point line. How have we not emphasized that yet?

Well he could be effective with a little 8 foot jumper. Problems right now.
Damn shame Frazier plateaued for like 3 years.
Caused him to come back for a 5th year and singlehandedly murder us
Have to make some shots. Dribbling way too much and out of control.
Damn freshman
Tough to watch
Our offense is brutal right now.
Quote from: JamilJaeJamailJrJuan on November 15, 2021, 06:29:33 PM
Tough to watch
If you just focus on us play defense(sans rebounding) it ain't too bad
Time to knock down some triples.
BAM!!! KUATH!!
Reading through this thread, you'd think MU was down 30.
MU's right there, fun game so far, if MU can keep this within 3 or grab the lead by half, I'm encouraged.
Reading this thread I expected to be down 15.
Finally get a chance to turn on the game and Marquette is only down four.
Deep breath everyone.
Like what has been seen this year on Kolkata for handling passing and stealing. Would be great if he could shoot.
We should be up about 6 minimum. Illini with 10 turns which won't happen in the 2nd half. Morsell may need to take over but we desperately need Lewis and Kolek/Mitchell to put up some points.

They're on pace for like 12 field goals. It's warranted.
Tremendous D from DM!!
WtF was that? Lewis must wake up.
Justin gotta get going
D just keeps making stands but we need some O
Kam!! Let's go now!!
Kam
That's it!! That's the shot JLew can get at will.
Kur!!
Morsell's defense against both U of I guards has been incredible.
Shaka's defensive stance is textbook.
Excellent stretch by our young Warriors. Kuath has been solid tonight. Jllew absolutely lost the ball there defensively. What was that last call?

Foul on Kueth
Just about what we expected from this team so far. Fantastic defense. Anemic offense. But I'm just enjoying the ride
Wow, two different times Lewis had his hand on the bottom of the ball while dribbling and didn't get called
Are these the Bucks rims as well as the floor!?! Not friendly tonight.
Ughhh. Tough swing there. Forget about it and execute to close the half.
Gahhhhh Kur taking off from free throw line for finger rolls isn't how we draw it up.
Man we gotta get some boards
And more Justin Mid range please
The amount of layups we've missed is concerning.
Oof. Both DM and JL looked tired on those last two plays.
Quote from: Tha Hound on November 15, 2021, 06:49:38 PM

Otoh the amount of layups we're getting is encouraging
The D glass is driving me nuts.
While I doubt Illinois will turn the ball over so much in the second half, I want to believe that MU won't give up so many offensive rebounds in the second half. I hope.
Omg get a rebound!!!!
Need those rebounds from Lewis. That's two in a row he should have had. Defensive has been great otherwise.
There should be a stat for balls that aren't really rebounds but "gaining possession after a missed shot" because Marquette has none and Illinois has all of them
This looks so much more like Warrior basketball and I'm loving it
Wasn't it a travel on the rebound off the missed FT? Guy caught it (over the back) of Lewis, then went all the way down to the floor.
All things considered we are winning at half. Unreal.
Defense was incredible.
Gotta rebound second half cause I'll be the mortgage they don't have 15 TOs again.
Fun half.
wow weird game
Two good looks, unfortunate we couldn't knock one down. Happy we're up 1 but frankly we should be up 10-14. Absolutely must rebound the basketball. Poor, poor, fundamentals.
Impressed with D, very disappointed with rebounding, struggling on offense as expected. Overall satisfied and liking where we are at so far.
Illinois really sucks.
Absolutely love the first-half effort.
Rebounding is atrocious.
I expected the offense to be borderline brutal in November.
If come February it can get closer to passable. My optimism for the next couple years will sky rocket
This level of defense play will win us a lot more games than many here are expecting to.
Some bad rebounding in spurts but holy damn, we're up at half. Keep the pressure up!

+1. If we do not rebound the basketball we will get blown out. Imperative because there is no way Illinois will kick the ball away 15 times the next 20 mins.
Solid scrappy D. Thrilled to be up 1. The prettiest part of the game so far is Greg Elliott in the nearly Championship Blue suit! Solid look.
Still a ton to improve on, but a hell of a half all things considered
We've all said it many times already
But I really wish Greg didn't do whatever he did.
Man his shot would be nice in a game like this
@Matt_Velazquez: Popped on Twitter, saw a few tweets about the Marquette game that made me assume they were losing handily, checked the score and saw they are leading the No. 10 team in the country at halftime. Never change, #mubb Twitter.
Love it
Justin Lewis not going pro anytime soon. Needs work.
Pleasantly surprised to be in the lead. Time to start drinking.
Great atmosphere. Lower bowl probably 95% full. Students are engaged. Very encouraged by this half. Though I'm guessing we'll get more than 8 minutes of Curbelo in the second.
I like Frazier, Cockburn is obviously a difference maker, but I've never understood everyone's obsession with Curbelo.
Adam Miller would have really helped this team had he stuck around.

Nice to see the true frosh getting chances and being put in positions to do things and get experience. Rarely happened under old regime which held back development and overall team success.
BAM!! Thatta boy JLew.
Nice start Justin
I'm infuriated by the D glass. Good freaking grief.
Need a time-out. Slow the H down.
Yeah unfortunately just not gonna get the boards.
This run hurts
I'm having a bout of vertigo due to the change in momentum

Atrocious. Call me crazy but we would be in control of this game if we took care of the D glass.
We really gotta eliminate the wild floater from our offensive repertoire.
About 6 guys trying it. None making it.
I'll live with set 3 pt shot misses.

Really bad run here, intiated by an inability to rebound and compounded by the struggle to score.
Anonymous Eagle notes, MUBB went on 13-4 run with Curbelo out.
Weird a$$ game. Feels like they could be winning by double digits or losing by double digits. November hoops, man
Halftime: Cool, MU won't lose by 20
15:56 of 2nd half: Well....
See Kolek!
Set 3!
Kolek!
So you can pass to yourself now? Missed that rule change
Frazier. Unreal.
Dude needs to go to Europe already
Frazier is tough.
I didn't know you could pass the ball to yourself and kick it out for a 3
markus howard lvl shooter
Good first half. Now the expected is happening.
Looks like our poor three point shooting will be our Achilles heel this year.

That'll about do it.

As long as the ref judges it a shot, you can grab your own airball in college. Not in NBA.
Good news: I still really like what I see from Joplins stroke
Bad news: Doesnt go in very often yet.
Another guy with potential I see though
Team has no beef up front. Both Kuath and Oso are sticks.
Too much to overcome with their 2nd shots. I'm encouraged with some of the open threes we're getting, the kids need to knock them dowm.
Well, the first half sucked less than I expected. That's all I've got.
Thought that three by Joplin was going to go and instead we give up another second chance three at the other end. Bad, bad six point swing.

Yes but Lewis and maybe O-Max, Morsell, have to get D rebs
This was the first time in a long time I really enjoyed watching the process of Marquette basketball in a game where Markus or Roswey weren't going absolute bonkers.
This was a very promising step forward. Don't have the ponies yet, but they will. Kam Jones, among other young guys, played some fearless minutes tonight.

On the bright side Morsell is a stud. Time for him to take over the game.

Cause as a upperclassmen that's a guy whose gonna want the ball when it gets late
Keep fighting.
BAM!! DM!!
Wow Morsell has some cajones. 3 on 1 and pulls up for three. Drains it.
Kolek, just like the wild floaters, the wild layups ain't it.

Has missed at least five within 6 feet. Gotta keep fighting for every reb and loose ball.

Morsell is unflappable!!
"He's such a good free throw shooter."
CLANG!
LOL
Did the ref mistake Justin for Theo?
Announcers please stop jinxing Morsell's free throws!
Sometimes you have to tip your cap. Frazier has been incredible.
Absolutely killer missed front end.
Then we lose Frazier in the corner again.
Can't get on Morsell since he's been the offense. But really gotta make free throws
Need a time-out immediately.
That one is gonna leave a mark
11/13 shooting with 9 of the attempts being 3's? Whoa.
You're not beating good teams when you give up like 20 offensive rebs. Not happening. It's very unfortunate because we have fought and do show some promise.
We're still right there. Amazing.

Fk!!
Kuath almost buried Hawkins there.
2 meh games, and Kur finally decides to show up.
FTs matta
Terrible call on Lewis
What??? Was that a foul on JLew?
That's a fucking horrific call
TEE HIM UP!!!
How has 33 not been T'd up twice?
Hawkins is obnoxious.
Free throws......UGH
Ughhh....free throws.
Why can't he make free throws
Make 2, secure rebounds.
What a gutsy performance tonight. Fight their you know whats off
Lewis shoots the FTs the rest of the way
How'd did none of those balls go MU's way?
Jesus grab the ball!!!!
Cmon boys!!
Ughh. Kuath needs to catch that O reb. Not go for a tip.
Let's go!!
Draw one up Shaka
Let's go now!!! Time to take the lead!!!
I was not prepared to be invested in this game.
Gonna need a smoke
Please make me a fool for saying this game was over. Please make me a fool for saying this game was over.
Morsell time? Or an unlikely three?
Didn't like that shot. Too rushed
Damn. Great look. Shake it off.
Sweet Jesus.
Free throws omg
OMG!!!!
I LOVE DEFENSE
Kolek!!!
Holy fucking crap
Wowsers
Holy crap
Holy crap!!!!
BAM!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!
12 missed free throws in last four minutes. Includes Morsell front end miss.

Thank you Shaka1
I'm encouraged. It's only one game but this team could have easily folded down 12 as Frazier was going bananas. Heck of a win with a ton of areas where we can improve. Looking forward to GE returning.
Wow. Wow. Wow!!!
Huge win!!! It wasn't pretty, but it got the job done!
So happy for our kids, coaches and program tonight. Huge momentum builder for now and beyond.
I am still in shock. A really gritty win with heart. It was ugly and it was tough. It reminded me of one of Al's earlier games. Congrats to all. Defense works.
It would have been so easy to settle for a "moral victory" in this one. Really proud that our guys hung so tough. I've been really hard on Kuath but he made a lot of big plays tonight!

Kuath was enormous tonight. I'd like to see him calm down a bit offensively and not try to sledgehammer everything, but absolutely was critical to our W.
And I don't think we will face a more unlikeable tandem on a team than Curbelo and Hawkins.
There are some insane stats in this game:
We were outrebounded by 20 and Illinois had 19 offensive rebs. We missed 13 free throws. Illinois had 26 turns. One thing to think about is getting to the line is a much more important stat than FT percentage.
