They must, must, must, wake the H up.

Kolek needs to try to get the layup on his drives. Everyone knows he isn't going to the rim. He needs to go up and score or draw the foul.  He should be at the line all day long.

I don't hate him at all. I think he is solid. I just think with his ability to move with the ball that when he gets to the paint he has to shot the layup more often. He is in position, he will draw fouls, it will open passing lanes. Got to keep um honest.  If he learns to do that consistently I just think he will be even better.

1. Facts. Criticism does not equal hate.

3. Three of his four missed threes against UCLA were contested shots. One hit the side of the backboard.  For him, especially now, a contested three is a bad shot.

2. No, Markus was a bad point guard. It's why in his 4 years, he only ever played it on his senior year. And was bad.

3. Koleks 4 shots.... 1 open corner rimmed out, 1 open top of key of back iron, 1 step back open top of key, off front, 1 corner contested off backboard. ????

Post by: nyg on December 18, 2021, 04:16:47 PM
MU will have problems winning this game and others if they continue to let the other team have layups in transition defense when they press.  It has become a pattern and in first half, X had many layups. 

If MU cleaned up around the basket, it would be a significant difference.
Prosper missed a dunk, Kuarth missed a lob dunk, Elliott threw a lob dunk pass to Kuarth two feet over his head, Elliott missed a two footer as did Kolek and Morsell.   

Just thank X for missing their free throws at this point.  I predict a barrage of MU three point attempts coming in second half.

Does he have to give him a step or two when landing? That's the only reason I could see the block being called.

Unsure, but Kolek had that position before the ball was even thrown. Offensive player had no idea where he, or Kolek was. Kolek was entitled to the position he established.

Again, that's Shaka's gameplan and is not going away. It has not only been this game.  Needs someone back by rim to protect alittle.  Even the legendary Dickie said it earlier in game.

Last three X baskets have been at the basket, layup or fouled on layup. Other teams are not stupid and know how to attack it by making appropriate coaching adjustments.

MU attacking basket, but either getting it blocked or turning it over.

Morsell takes a beat or two every single time he misses, turns it over, makes a bad play, and it is punishing. Also, pretty solid evidence that Kolek, while struggling, has high value to this team.

The 8-9 ticky tack fouls really changed Marquette's defense and the flow of the game.

Morsell is a problem. When the ball is in his hand, I expect a turnover or highly contested shot.

The offense is really struggling now. We have no one that can drive and get to the paint, so it's discombobulated as the team just passes around the perimeter.

Tough game away against a tough team. We didn't handle their best shot (at least so far). Need to be tougher.

Kolek has to play and Kolek has to not shoot for MU to win.

A wide open three was the utterly obvious end to that possession

I take it you're not a fan? I couldn't tell, but maybe eighty seven more posts about it will make it clear?

Terrible collapse in last 2 mins

No execution.  None.  Could not handle it.  Shaka ... blew it ...

( I am confident he TOLD Kolek to shoot / terrible... And , they should have taken a foul when X had 11 secs on shot clock )

Why should we have won a game on the road against a team who is more talented and more experienced? We were 10.5 point underdogs for a reason. That was the 2nd most difficult game on the Big East schedule.

Some of the reactions on here are ridiculous.

The fact MU lost isn't surprising or particularly upsetting   
The way they played those last couple of minutes, after having worked their way back into the game, was rough

Agreed. Last few minutes were tough. But overall I thought it was encouraging. Tough first half whistle, only offensive creator in foul trouble all night, still battled on the road vs. a ranked team

That was a valiant road effort.  Elliott had a good look for three from the corner to give MU a two point lead with 2:30 to go in a very tough environment.  Unfortunately he just missed it off the heel and Xavier converted on the other end.  The Kolek three was certainly a poor decision on the next possession, but there are plenty of reasons for optimism after this game.  These guys have a shot to beat other BE teams on the road.  Let's hold serve at home on Tuesday night!

Man, the Kolek criticism is getting old
Guess the only solution is to permanently bench him and see how we do, eh?
Think most people know the answer to thatone.
