Kevin Willard is coming off his first losing season since 2013 and brought in a slew of transfers and All-American big to try to turn that around. Last year the offense was anemic but the defense was elite. This year, the question is if there's enough shooting to bolster that defense back to the NCAA Tournament.

Bump.
Derik Queen's start to the season has been interesting.
TWENTY total rebounds in their first game, a total of three in the next two games.

Reese is a legitimate great rebounder. Assume he will have to guard Joplin on the perimeter unless they go to a zone.

Not sure why they wouldn't go zone after watching last nights tape.
Loss. Move onto the next game. Honestly, Shaka should start the walk-ons to send a message

My sources say that Mrs. Shaka was out at Target buying white t-shirts for practice.

Your strength is definitely more being pedantic and less being funny.

He's really not wrong so far to this point...we shall see if that changes.
what does his comment even mean? 'He just wants you, he don't want to do nothing else?" Is that right?

"He just wants to shoot"

Got it! agree with GoldenEagle03, and with Queen for that matter. I know its a small sample size, but...
- 80.76% of Gold's shot are from behind the arc,but...
- He's currently made 19% of them.
- He also currently accounts for 13% of the team's total shots, which is 4th out of our 5 starters
(at least that stat makes sense to me).

Sounds like scoopers. What's the big deal?

That sound bite is about as pure of "bulletin board material" as you're gonna see on the collegiate level.
It was pretty funny, made me chuckle.
Benny probably gonna bang down under a bit more in this one, hopefully the refs don't have a quick whistle

Sounds about right. Hits some threes at a reasonable clip tomorrow and I like our chances to win.
Honestly, this is a team I would zone if I was Marquette. Not the whole game, but for stretches. They were in the 13th percentile against zone last year according to Synergy and they really only put two shooters on the floor at the same time. Do to them what CMU did to us to get back in it.

Seems weird for one of the worst teams in NCAAB history to only be 1.5 point dogs on the road against a top-30 team.
