Folks, friendly reminder that it is important to limber up before attempting to post to the game thread. Proper stretching is key to avoiding sprains, dislocations, and general inflammation.

It is strongly recommended that you perform Willie's Warm-UpsTM prior to the tip. Type each of the following at least three time each to ensure injury free in-game posts:

"Oso needs to get his head out of his kielbasa"
"Another brick from Gold"
"Time to bench Stevie Dung"

It's very hard to beat bubble teams on the road. We're playing the best team in the country on the road.

We're good enough to win. But we should definitely be somewhat significant dogs, and are.

The point spread in this game is similar to Marquette at home against the likes of Seton Hall and St. John's.

The road team could win but the home team has a decided edge.

Oso picks up two quick ones, Gold picks up two others and ballgame. Breeding at fault.

We are playing with passion.  Love it.   If the refs call a fair game we could win.  5 fouls to zero.    Ugh

Love our hustle.  We do need to take a breath moving the ball around and get the open shot.    We will hit a three soon.... Can feel it! Goo Marquette!

Didn't Stevie shoot 2 FT?

Maybe Gold can hit a wide open three, not get burned three times for slam dunks and have a turnover pass leading to a three.  He has not been good.

MU needed to hit threes to win and not happening just yet. 2 for 12 so far Get it down to 5 or 6 by half, but doesn't look good.

Couldn't be more right Jump.  Extremely disappointing but there is time to punch back.  Brando is annoying the F out of me as a side note.

Shaka not having his best game.  He's had Kolek off the ball a ton.  Should have called a couple more timeouts to try to stem these runs - team was clearly rattled - and also looked gassed a couple of times - which I'd say was more adrenaline based versus actual fatigue.

We have gotten some good looks from 3 but not falling.

You mean refs?.....

Both teams ugly from three, MU missed like five in a row and UConn scored after each.  UConn is just slicing and dicing with back doors and scoring on stupid MU turnovers. Very effective and impressive.

Joplin and Gold no good, maybe get it a little closer in second for moral victory.

UConn gets the ball to start too because the the "jump ball" called when the UConn player had his knee in our guys stomach.  lol. Even the announcers were sayin that's a foul. lol.

So.... Gonna need a good start.    Kolek will explode second half.    Kam too.   We can use Ben to hit a few in half two.   Let's Go Marquette!

Post by: CTWarrior on February 17, 2024, 03:11:07 PM
Bascially, UConn doesn't give us the layups we're used to getting and consequently we're tentative anywhere.  UConn at home where they can get away with a little extra bumping, coupled with their size and quickness is very tough.  Hurley is a good coach, they play like us with bigger and quicker and more players.

But, even during our win streack, we tend to play one blah half and one very good half.  Let's hope our very good half is coming up.

And, maybe Shaka felt one of the freshman could offer something.  Jop has had a good run the past 5 or 6 games...and to be fair, Gold too...but UConn is the standard. It's clear what we need...and if we get it...a big that can play D and clean glass, and another 6'7" wing, we're right there. I'm not sold on TK leaving, but I suppose we'll need a pt gd too.

I actually thought BG was decent, two in and out threes. Limit the careless, lazy turnovers and make some shots. Up the energy level on D, beat the guy to the spot, box out. We aren't going to outbound anyone, but we can do a better job of limiting third chances. We need to press the permitter ball handlers.

You can try to convince yourself that this is just MU missing open shots, but this is pretty much exactly what UConn did to Creighton. Several of those missed 3's may look open, but they are rushed and out of rhythm.

Sure, MU could have made a couple more, but they would still be looking at a significant deficit against a clearly superior team.

UConn is only 4 for 18 from 3 and that includes a lot of shots they usually make. They are making up for a subpar shooting game by getting inside for easy ones. MU is not able to do that.

I'm afraid that not even the huge boost from Senior Day will get MU past these guys when they play here.

Gold was brutal in first half, on both ends. His threes were right there, whatever that means, but he missed. Just got your wish, he is in now and five seconds in, fouls.

All in for him playing now, don't want any starters to get hurt.

Kam's dropoff has put a lot of pressure on Kolek. Now you have a 3-guard line-up, only one of whom scores.

Joplin being an undersized 4 with no lift and not great court awareness doesn't help rebounding.

Only one game though very ugly. On to the next.

No team loses in spectacular fashion and gets blown out on national TV quite like MU.  Humiliating.  6th Kolek no show game of the season.  Exactly why you can't trust this team in March.

They either didn't have the courage or she knowledge to say Wojo was very limited in ability.  Either is detrimental. It's pretty sad. Shaka is on the verge of having more winning seasons in the BE than Wojo had in 7 seasons.
