LET'S GO NOW!!!
Huge game and it's mperative we get the W.
Last meeting at home, Lewis, Kolek and Morsell shot terrible and Kam Jones did not play. Plus there was the not fouling issue at end.
No Kaluma or Mitchell today for Creighton, therefore they have really one guy off the bench. MU needs to drive to basket, Creighton will be playing soft in order not to get in foul trouble. They get in foul problems, they are in trouble. Lets see what Shaka's gameplan is.
Dammit.
Let's get out of the blocks quickly.
Just a stupid shot by Lewis, cost us 2 on the other end. Gotta be smarter
Way too much one on one early for JLew. Move the rock.
A couple of sloppy turns early has cost us 5pts. Cannot turn it over today.
Time to play some freaking defense
Man...the little things are absolutely killing us. Very frustrating.
Just embarrasing some of the rebound misses. Grab the ball Omax jesus
Missing the rebound after two free throw misses is atrocious. Hope Shaka talks to these guys. They need to CRASH the boards.
Creighton does not defend well at all. We can't play to their level on that end of the floor.

Exactly right. 100% accurate. I would just utter this on repeat in the huddle if I was Shaka.
Be strong with that Oso!! Should have been an and-1.
What!!?? An away from. the ball foul on Kolek???
Next year.

Embarrassing. Such poor fundamentals.
Kam is gonna be special
LET'S GO NOW!!
Increase the Intensity and overall intelligence defensively. Why leave your feet??,
Aside from Lewis, we are really soft inside.
HEAT CHECK halfway down
Where is Kur?
Lewis has to see the floor there and pass the freaking ball. Drives me nuts. Refocus now.
Oso is completely lost on both ends
Really soft inside. FFS Shaka, get Kolek back in there.
Oh so pathetic D.
Oso.bad.
Is the game pace too quick for Kur?

Forget the talking. Start benching people.
Justin has a bad habit of bringing the ball too low and getting it swiped while he's backing down the defender. It's happened twice today.
Some sloppy possessions and turnovers. Need to clean this up starting now. Had a 7 point lead. We can drive on theses guys. And Creighton has 1 foul? Drive in them!
The recent defensive trends worry me. Creighton is not a good offensive team.
jeez
Terrible defense and now bad offense. Quick 9-0 run by Creighton.

Attack the freaking rim. They have 1 foul.
Oso picking a bad day to play like a Fr

Looking like McDermott owns Shaka. Leave Kuath in there and forget about the other softies. Foul differential is not pretty.
It also doesn't help that Creighton is making just about everything they shoot whether its wide open or not.

Defense has been bad but they've hit a couple tough ones too.
We should go drive in them every time until they stop us. We can do that all game long. Do it! And where are our 5 guys crashing the boards? Yikes
I just logged on and saw Muggsy with 7 in a row to start. The coffee must really have been flowing earlier today.
True. FK.
Need Kolek back
OMG
CATCH
THE
FREAKING
BALL!!!
Absolutely infuriating.
ive been hearing CU is a bad 3pt shooting team but i guess its 50% today
Defense is 🗑
Who the hell is on OConnell?
Lucky to be within two the way we're playing defense. 42 in 17 minutes to the worst offense in the league.
Edit: I exaggerated their offensive ineptitude.
Even when they get two hands on the ball it just gets ripped away from them.
Big mistake by Shaka leaving Kolek sit,
Need to pass more crisply, rebound, and get in their grills when they shoot.
As flawed as Kolek is, he can't be out of the game for long.
Is kolek our best off ball guard defender? because after this game he might be.
I still like where MU is, CU's shooting and foul calls are unsustainable

Silly foul. We need a time out to talk about our complete lack of attention to detail.
CU getting away with the little things that are called fouls on MU. How can ANY college team have 2 fouls on 18 mins of basketball? Absolute BS

Disagree.
We're giving up wide open 3s and layups. Lucky to not be down 15.
Will we ever get a stop?
I dont really have a grip with the fouls called on us.
But weve been driving it about twice as much as them and we have drawn 2 damn fouls
Big shot there by DM. Gotta find a way to win this game.. Grav the ball, stop the ball, play some freaking defense in the 2nd half.
Justin needs to facilitate more. Spinning into the double isn't working. Nice step up from Morsell in the 1st half. He's done a nice job on Hawkins after the first couple bunnies he shot.
Sweet Jesus!
Reach in...
Morsell so freaking casual with the ball. Ugh.

Exactly. MU is fouling, more aggressive and they have forced many turnovers. Refs again, ugh...
Jones more than better making up for Kolek sitting with two fouls.
CU frontline killing MU with O,Connell threes.
CU made two substitutions for two minutes each. Gonna be exhausted.
Just pathetic on that possession
Just your classic 2 foul half by Creighton
Was Kam in fir the last 1,6 second shot? Should have been the one shooting
Smart play to get the ball to start the second half
Road games suck. Let's get them in the 2nd half
shaka with the massive pit stains again. wear a diffrent color or somthing
This game will be won with poise and intelligence. We can't give them all these points inside, FT's, and whiff on defensive rebs. The mindset has to be this is an elimination game and we refuse to lose. I thought we were soft much of the 1st half defensively. The intensity and positioning have to be ramped up significantly.
Oso was hot garbage in first half.

Right on Muggsy. Our defensive intensity is not intense. And we don't all crash the boards for rebounds. Need to make adjustments for half two. And we should just drive to rim and draw fouls and score.
I miss our strong defensive performances.
Our 5's are killing us. Maybe go small?
That's it. Attack!!
Out rebounded 15-6 in first half. Terrible rebounding team. Get Prosper out of there. He cant defend either.

OMG. Our 5's are getting destroyed. Move Lewis to the 5
2K can block shots, but dang does he get muscled out of position
Kurt gor beat bad 2x
Garbage officiating today
our bigs cant defend a chair today
Kur is getting bullied.
Not gonna win this game if they don't find the toughness.
They left it all in Milwaukee it appears.

It never helps when Kalbrenner looks like Tim Duncan.
Kalkbrenner, Hawkins and O'Connell are 15 for 23 from field and Kalkbrenner hasn't missed. Not good for MU.
What a pathetic effort.
Starting to become a trend. With Kaluma out this is bad.
Like I said, even if its not a wide open look. They are making everything.
We look like crap
Omg we're self-destructimg. Our interior D is atrocious. Move Lewis to the 5. Go small. If our 5's are giving us zero get them off the floor.
and its slipping away. cant stop this elete creighton offense
On the verge of getting ugly
Layup, layup, dunk, layup.
MU just not in synk today, nor much of the last 4 games. They don't seem to be having much fun and laboring to get through games. Hope they get it out of their system soon and get recharged mentally.
That prayer 3 gave them a ton of energy, and Morsell yet again loose with the ball. Oso having beyond a terrible day.
Kolek two turnovers, five points given up
Elliott gives up two layups
They both sit.
Maybe Kalkbrenner sprains his ankle or something. He is abusing Oso/Kur.

Don't understand why Kam hasn't seen the floor yet this half.
Our defense against one of the worst offensive teams in the big East has been terrible.
Did I hear the tv color guy say he's bullish on Marquette? No, I didn't hear that...did I?

Ryan Kaka looks like a pro against us
Playing iso ball again
Wow. I'm glad Oso decided to look at the rim when no one was within 10 feet from him. Maybe that gets us going.
Creighton imploded when kalkbrenner went out. I'm sure he'll be back now.
Playing like garbage yet only down 1.

Ah I'm watching on my phone due to a tv switch so might not have noticed
- poor defensive rotations
- Elliott exposed on defense to the point I'm not sure he can be out there
- Oso struggling in all facets - needs a confidence boost
- Kolek was feisty and crafty. Where did that go?
Until the defense shows up, every game is a fight. It all starts in defensive end and it just hasn't been there the past couple of weeks
What?? Wasn't that our ball?
dumb pass from lewis
If Oso was some sort of elite offensive weapon, I could maybe understand some of the wild pass attempts to him. But hes not, so stop throwing low percentage passes his way
Don't they foul
So frustrating. Finally get a stop and they get an easy o-reb.
And now we have 7 fouls. Very upsetting.
After 32 minutes of play, 14 fouls called on MU, only 4 on CU.
For the love of god stop calling every little bump on just one end of the court.
Creighton in the bonus now
The poor defensive performance is to blame but is the foul differential now 14-4?
Come on...
All we need to do is play Defense like we did early in the year!

Hate to say it but the foul differential for the same level of play on many calls is disheartening. Have to play better than the officials. Lol
The buzzer beaters and chucked up makes are....ugh.
FOULS 14-4 ::)
Big time foul disparity again. That will kill us down stretch.
Going to need Justin to help Darryl offensively down the stretch here to pull this one off
Justin needs a spurt
We keep grabbing and bumping a game that has been called close from the beginning. Stop blaming the refs and adjust.
Jeez the whining about the refs here is amazing.
Every starter for Creighton in double figures.
0 effort defensively today from anyone. Can't win that way.
Who would you go with down the stretch?

On the plus side, when we do draw a foul its resulting in free throws 80% of the time.

Ridiculous touch foul call
Ughhh. They will not miss from 3.
Nembhard only makes 3s vs us
Great dish there by DM.
Shaka, your D sucks
Good Daryl on O is back today.
That's it!! Keep attacking with furious power!! Get some stops now!!
morsell domimating
Smart putting the shooters in the corners and attacking the interior.
Morsell a man today.
Morsell carrying team on his back.
Have to get that rebound. Ughhh.
Morsells best game since home at seton hall. And his best game before that was against Mississippi.
game completely changed without Oso in there and we begin to take it to Kalkenbrenner

Ughhh. Value possessions.
What??? You have got to be s-ing me?
Wish our end of shot clock prayer would go down
Are you fucking kidding?
Good call there. Daryl should know better.
Kolek should probably be in for Greg right now. Morsell as a ball handler could bite us near the end
Marquette has been admittedly pretty bad, but this whistle is pretty one sided.
That happens on the road though. Gotta battle it. No excuses. Just win.

Yes. And we need to stop the hero ball. Move the rock and execute to close the show.
That was the lousiest home cooking bullshice call of the year. refs are just blowing Creighton. They have their heads firmly ensconsed up Creightons butt, Nothing like giving them the game.
The possession up five and settling for a long three was a killer. Jones had a four footer if he wanted it and passed it up for a razzle dazzle play that got blocked.
First push of the game called against Morsell while Nembhard arm is extended every possession

Happens at home too GT had 4 fouls to give on Wed. It's a joke.
4 of their 7 fouls being on Kalkbrenner is nice.
Continuing to miss our free throws is not.
Fouls are absolutely killing us. We simply have to find a way to steal a W.
4 missed free throws since 12 minute mark

Good god Justin
I have never seen a team blow leads as quickly as Marquette
We blow
If NBA teams had concerns about Lewis putting the ball on the floor, they are only greater today.
Lewis has been sloppy all day with ball.
Unfreaking real
Another missed lay up
Nobody but ourselves to blame
Is Kolek hurt? Why is he not playing? And Oso in?
Pretty frustrating
2 layups, really?
The team looks so disconnected today.
Playing Kam and Greg late is horrible coaching. Forces the other three guys to play hero ball.
We can't make a layup! This is maddening!
Game ova.
pretty pathetic finish. horrible turnovers and misses
Marquette's basketball IQ just seems incredibly low. Factor in terrible D and no ability to rebound = swept by Creighton.
2 bunnies in the last min. Blown!
Kick the ball away, missed chippie, missed chippie. Absolutely and totally inexcusable. Still have to find a way to get this W.
How the hell do 2 6'8" guys miss layups. What a cluster screw.
MU has not made a field goal in last five minutes....almost every game slump.
This team always gives us trouble

Lmao. Just embarrassing dribbling.
Justin and Daryl simply cannot dribble the ball. Its not changing.
This is on Shaka
Lol their walk on stole it from Morsell twice at the end of the half
Again, where is Kolek for his ball handling and distributing?
Why wouldn't Kolek be in the game?
Now a Morsell choke.
Completely outclassed.
MU 7 or 8 seed coming.
big time choke
McDermott owns Shaka. And Shaka should have had Kolek in there. The guy still has much to learn about coaching.
Of course Wisconsin wins today and Marquette loses. But of course.
We're winning right here with a triple at the buzzer. Will Kolek be on the floor?
So that was beyond pathetic. All you have to do is dribble up the court and he goes out of bounds? What?
Greg for the win? Or Kam
I'll be shocked if MU gets a shot off.
Creighton will foul us
Go inside quick.
CU will foul to take off time. Two to give.
Low IQ
You can't make this s*** up
Just unreal.
F' Creighton - they are not that good (which means MU is not that good). These shitty losses to Creighton are all karma from the Sam miracle shot to beat Creighton.
Wow just wow
horrible
What an absolute f*ck up this 20 seconds has been
Respect whatever this process is.
Greg will not be back next year
disgraceful loss. unreal bad plays. what is this missouri 12 years ago. horrible. 8 or 9 seed incomijg
Elliot: What a doofus.
That ending was Woj-like.
Complete utter incompetence. This board will melt down
Really just embarassing play by Morsell and Elliot Horrible. HORRIBLE.
2 missed layups and 3 turnovers. Blew this one.

Elliott needs to play better. His defense is so poor and oftentimes it's just effort. It's great when he hits open shots but he gets too much pt.

Embarrassing. So bad that it almost erases all the goodwill this team built for me all year. Why Kolek wasn't in the game the last few minutes is craziness. He better have had some kind of injury or something going on. Worst loss in MU history as to how it was lost, in my opinion...due to this:

Perhaps coaches shouldn't listen to the bloggers?
A lot of people don't think McDermott is a very good coach. He's outthought and outmaneuvered Shaka twice.
Shaka is exposing himself as a pretty poor end-of-game coach. Not with respect to the strategy today (as opposed to 1/1) but as to personnel.

Two chances under 16 second to have ball and shot for the win. Never even got with 30 ft either time. Why the fyck wasn't kolek bringing ball up?

Hard to be a good end of game coach when your team missed 3 bunnies and committed two horrid turnovers to finish the game. This is on the players, not Shaka.
1. Sitting your best PG for that long when Elliott was giving you nothing was a mistake.
2. The play call with five seconds left was bad. Why was Oso even in the game there?

Shaka was out coached ...
Why the F was Kolek not in the game?
That one I think even Wojo could have figured out. Grrrrrr
100%. Shaka has demonstrated sawdust for brains both x's vs Creighton, at Butler, at Providence late. Should have at least won 3 of those.
Frustrating but these are teaching moments, I'd rather have these losses in Feb and hopefully make the adjustments in the next few weeks. Some might have forgotten, but this is a young team and has been all season.
I miss the gauntlet.

The so called experienced players made all the late mistakes! Lewis, Morsell and Elliott each gave the ball away at crucial times in the waning moments of the game. Where are the teaching moments exactly?

Really? A redshirt freshman and two 4 year players that have never averaged more than 10 pts per game and now they're going to be Michael Jordan with the game on the line all of the sudden?
Morsell, Lewis, Kolek had 13 turns. The ones down the stretch by DM and JL were beyond disastrous.

But what exactly are they learning with these mistakes? It's February 20. Not November.

Silly question, I am a keyboard warrior and not Shaka Smart, but that's why they call it coaching. In general and other phases of life, people learn from their mistakes.
My point was I'd rather they do it now and learn from it instead of these types of meltdowns in New York at the BE tournament or even worse suffering a loss like this in the NCAA tournament.
In my opinion, the team has locked up a spot in the dance and that's already overachieving my expectations but I hope they can use these frustrations as fuel to refine a better product and showing come March.

This team has struggled to execute in tight games down the stretch. We got that semi-prayer shot by JLew in Philly but if you look at our close games we've had a number of meltdowns and have not executed when we've had plenty of chances. My take is too often our best players go one on one during these possessions and we get low percentage shots or kick the ball away when we overdribble.

you mean a sophomore who played 21 games last season, has started every game this season and has played 48 games in his career?

morsell is not young. Elliott, not young. 2K, not young. Shaka has been around but makes some odd coaching decisions. Not sure 'inexperience' is an excuse for at least 3 losses.

I know he's really talented and the presumptive leader of the team but he's still young and will still need to continue to grow
Fify
I can't watch another game like that!
Tough loss with lots of questions...... effort and sloppiness with ball etc.

This, same mistake 1st half. The PG under pressure is Kolek, but Morsell is anointed PG on the fly.
I feel like MU is solidly in the tourney, but then I thought that entering February pretty much every Wojo year. This team is struggling to finish games. Like many people, I kept wondering why Kolek wasn't on the floor at the end. He's our best point guard and our best playmaker.
Creighton Scored on this possession. And Greg did not step on the court from the tv replay on his inbounds. Frustrating and disappointing.

Greg stepped on the line though. Plus, you could probably argue he traveled by shuffling his feet.
