The time is NOW!!!
Play with confidence and ZERO hesitation.
We can do this!!!

What a great opportunity for both teams to play in a great atmosphere and compete at the highest level.
Hope both squads play hard and with great dignity and sportsmanship.

Thatta boy Stevie!!! Let's go now!!!
Cmon Ben.
Second time gold has travelled. Thankfully only called once.
Stevie doesn't need to force there.
Game over.
TJ is such a meathead. ISU defense looks strong.
They a great defense. gonna be tough without the blow by speed
Quote from: Elonsmusk on December 04, 2024, 07:10:34 PMTJ is such a meathead. ISU defense looks strong.

Killing us now driving downhill. Jop way too loose with the rock.
Jop out of control yeesh
They are really tough on D.
Hope this showing means we are very prepared for Wisconsin
DO!
Can see we've got bad Jop tonight.
Freshmen don't play d yet.
Gotta stop the ball. They're getting inside at will.
Can we host any NIT games?
Quote from: tower912 on December 04, 2024, 07:18:50 PMFreshmen don't play d yet.
Totally. Crazy how immediately exposed.
Need to make lay ups
the numbers won't say it until the end of the season. But joplin is still the weak link of the starters.
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 04, 2024, 07:16:30 PMKilling us now driving downhill. Jop way too loose with the rock.
He should never dribble.
Ben looks good. Kam is getting to his spots. Nice to see Owens shooting confidently.
Everything else has been bad.
Clones are 8-11. Wake the f up and play some freaking defense. Now.
Killing is in the paint. What changes to make? Zone? Need some beef inside. Hamilton?
Royce is struggling in the post on D.

Good high low action, and DO giving up about 30 pounds there...better O than bad D
Good grief. Stop to superfluous dribble. Move the ball.
F off with these Hamilton 3s bs
Hamilton launching threes. I don't get it. Looks like he's never shot a ball before.
We need to get our act together. Right now we look more like a buy-game team than the #5 team in the nation.
I hate it when Jop drives.
Good thing this is on ESPN+ so maybe some voters can't watch it
That's what we need from Jop.
IS is fast and moves the ball well. They are clearly the best team we've played this year so far. Wow Let's Go Marquette!
Terrible transition D there. Our guards have to get going. Immediately.
Hopefully 2nd half Marquette shows up.
I figured the offense would struggle a bit more than usual but MU's defense tonight is not up to our usual standard.
blowout losses are demoralizing if u win Saturday this game is immediately forgotten
I'd be pleasantly surprised if we keep this with 20.
Quote from: Daniel on December 04, 2024, 07:26:50 PMIS is fast and moves the ball well. They are clearly the best team we've played this year so far. Wow Let's Go Marquette!
They're probably going to be the best team we play all season.
I thought that was our ball.
Oh...boy. Why?? Fk.
Well not that Shaka had the team ready, but now it's over
Iowa St just looks like they're in a different class
Getting our ass kicked
If Iowa St. hits threes they're a major problem.
My god these injuries
Quote from: WolfganghisKhan on December 04, 2024, 07:30:36 PMIowa St just looks like they're in a different class
They aren't. But tonight they might be.
Our defense is abysmal right now
Simply don't have the horses to pull the train when Kam is not Kam. C'mon second half magic!
Yeah, their shooting isn't bad. I know Brew said it was in the other thread. But they shot 36% last year and the only starter they lost was their worst shooter.
Quote from: Apolitical Warrior on December 04, 2024, 07:30:09 PMWell not that Shaka had the team ready, but now it's over
If they don't win they aren't ready? how incredibly tough is it to win on the road vs top 5ish teams. There are going to be off games.
Quote from: ATL MU Warrior on December 04, 2024, 07:31:29 PMOur defense is abysmal right now
It's not good. Not stopping the ball.
That's it. Good ball movement.
Lfg Stevie. Jop needs to stop selling
Jop handling the ball scares me.
Sean Jones would be an asset for this game (others too), but really missing his tenacity on D. No Zaide either hurts. Now Chase down. Just brutal
Focus now. Let's Go!!!
Damn. Great opportunity lost.
Jop getting abused inside.
Yall are reminding me why I'm not usually in game threads
Kam has to resist forcing. 3 guys are smothering him. Move the rock with the pass.
joplin is rough rough
Should've gone to the portal
We are off on offense. Whew. IS is very good in everything tonight
Owens has a long way to go on defense, looks like he'll be able to score though
Quote from: Daniel on December 04, 2024, 07:39:57 PMWe are off on offense. Whew. IS is very good in everything tonight
They're making all of their open looks and their speed is really hurting us. Plus they only have 3 fouls.
Quote from: Judge Smails on December 04, 2024, 07:39:43 PMShould've gone to the portal
Should have grabbed a guard cause Norman is bad bad... but as someone else Sean and lowery out hurts on defense and shot creation. Hell Ross maybe out the game as well

Are they doing anything offensively they haven't done all year?
Joplin is a Jamil Wilson level bumslayer
First team to really take away Kam's left hand in the paint. That is killing us. If Kam can't start getting some of those it is going to be tough for the rest of the offense to open up.
Our injuries are hurting us for sure. But wow IS is impressive. We need to get the open looks on offense. Too much fir ing so far
We hit the wall. 4 straight fouls and couldn't get that rebound.
Get a FT rebound!!!
joplin has 2 statted TOs. But he has at least 5 with his inability to catch
The secondary goal for the season should be giving Owens as much room to develop as possible. If they're gonna make a tourney run they him to be their legit secondary creator
What a fiasco
Like I said this was one of my two forsure losses on the year(might have to rethink at Uconn) so nothing unexpected
But definitely impossible tow in if they are gonna make 2 of every 3 shots and we shoot under 40
Owens is a dude.
Jesus these guys are on track to score 100 ffs
That was nice.
We'd have a chance at weathering these guard injuries if Norman weren't absolute ass
Just blowing by our perimeter defense.
Gilbert getting a Tonje whistle. Cmon ref. Let them play.
Iowa St with only 3 fouls vs our 9 makes it really difficult. Got to attack the paint with more force.
Now we get a few foul calls. Lol.
Ben and Jop dribbling is concerning.
Gilbert eating Mitchell's lunch
64 percent!
Well, given how that started, it could be a whole lot worse.
For what it felt like 9 point deficit feels kinda fortunate
We're fortunate to be in range. I said before the contest to force Gilbert left. Or they need to hard double him. The young man has torched us.
Down 9 with as poorly as we played is not bad. Let's get em half two! And with the harassing defense in both sides it's 5 TO for MU and 3 for them.
Let's Gooo Marquette!
Pretty good fight from our guys I thought. ISU is a heck of a team and they were making everything.
As Mr Dodds would say Shooting background is hurting MU
Need to focus on layups
Down 9 after that half ain't too bad. Let's see if Shaka can work some halftime magic. Not looking good with two of our best perimeter defenders out.
Down 9 at half at Hilton:
Iowa State, 64.3% from the field overall, 4-6 from 3, 6-8 from the fT line.
Marquette, 44.1% from the field overall, 7-16 from 3 (that's really good!), 1FTA
All things considered, surprised it's only 9
Offense is going to be a massive deficiency next year if they don't hit the portal. DO is a dude, but he and Chase might be the guys you trust night in and night out.
Quote from: forgetful on December 04, 2024, 07:51:50 PMWell, given how that started, it could be a whole lot worse.
ISU led Auburn by 16 at half and gave that up. Doable.
The problem right now is our defense. How would you attempt to slow them down? Within reason of course.

😐
Free throw discrepency plus their FG% edge and not turning it over. Ain't gonna work. Kinda a miracle to only be down 9
Kam has to get hot. And Chase has got to show some sort of offensive pulse

Give Ross and zaide magic heal juice. the def hasn't horrible. refs calling a foul on all their drives. They are hitting a bunch of tough jumpers as well.
Very poor defensive half by Marquette, easily the worst of the year.
Very uncharacteristically allowing a ton of easy buckets at the rim.
Lucky Damarius hasn't missed otherwise they would be down 15+
That Gaudi ISU shooting percentage is more a factor of MUs poor and unorganized defense imo.
Pressing too much away from the hoop and getting easily beat off the dribble

Agreed Dr. V. But they're a handful. I thought the half the played vs Auburn was the best I've seen this season. We must eliminate the chippies in the paint.
I'd say we should throw a zone at them but the few possessions of zone we played in 1st half were atrocious

For sure. If Kam gets going and we can get some stops, it's doable. Tough and unlikely, but doable.
Hoping Ross is back for the badger game. That would just be bullsh*t if he was out.
Per Marquette X, Ross out for the game. 😱

Don't care who you play, if you give up that many easy buckets in the paint you won't win the game.
That's wojo defense, not Shaka defense.
Let's see if they can be better in the 2H

Glad the rest of the Big East showed up to their matchups
Cmon Jop!! D up.
Chase in a boot.

Owens is gonna be special.
Ughhh. Cmon Kam.
Great defense guys. Shameful showing defensively.
Need a time-out.
Not Kam's night so far.
Was that a gtend on Jop's shot?
Will be shocked if this is not a 25+ point game. Worst body language I've seen in Shaka era.
lol no one can make a shot
Is Kam high? I am
3 on 1 and take a 3?
We look rattled. Our freshmen look calm.
Freshmen only ones playing ball out here. Complete no show by the vets
Gotta be tougher in the paint. On both ends of the floor.

Why? We're clearly playing better than we did in the first half. Just gotta finish around the rim and we'd have cut the lead in half.
Shaka needs to take a time out..guys are gassed and out of sorts.

Maybe an exaggeration. Obviously want to be wrong. Just feel we can't come close to matching their intensity.
Kam and Gold with 5 apiece. Jop with 8. Can't have that.
That looked like a travel.
RP!!!
Can't believe how little defense ben gives down low
Let's go now!!
What? A foul off the ball?
Thatta boy Caedin. Great screen.
Official Review??? Please.
Not sure what they are reviewing, that was a good screen. Gilbert should be pissed at his teammates.

Catch the ball!! Dammit.
Wow. Tre.
Lol
Tre is unplayable.
Let's go now! Time for Kam to get going.
Actually impressed to stay this close when being outplayed like this.
Playing better D now

Yeah I'll admit I was dead wrong. I thought we looked dead in the water coming out of half. Good effort tonight. We're also missing 2 of our best defenders.
We can do this..... need Hamilton to throw some weight around .... Workf for open shots. Calm down. Let's Go Marquette!

By far his worst game of the year and has a shot at a triple double.
Hate losing to them
Why no Owens for the last 6 minutes?
Jop needs to hit some shots as well.
Will we have any players left by the end of the season? Zaide, now Chase. Who is next?

Kam needs to shoot a 3.
Jop too.
Next 4 is the game
They go right down the lane,Candin can't jump
Maybe that gets Kam off. LFG!!
Makes note
Keep fighting!!
Count that!!
Amp it up !!!
Well
Kam doing Kam things.
Ok then. Welcome back Kam
LETS GOOOOO
Wow
I don't believe this
Really f*cking impressed with our guys right now.

Shaka's teams always fight.
Great D!! Time for Jop to step up!!
Putting away my phone because my feed is behind.
Prayers up that Marquette can pull this off!
Cmon Jop!!
What???? I thought he traveled and then no foul.
Weak ass call
Pile of sh*t call.
Woof balls
Jop is killing me. Focus!!
I'd rather Jop just chuck up a 3 then take it to the rim.
Joplin cannot play against good teams
These freshman will just be a massive upgrade over Joplin in the coming years.
Fing Jolp.
Joplin is a great player and a maddening player.

Put the ball in Kam's hands...
Omg. Jop.
Thought that 4 minute stretch could determine the game. Iowa State could have put it away or Marquette could have made it a game.
It's a game now. All they could have asked for was an opportunity to steal this and they have a chance. Pretty heady stuff from a team down two guys playing in a hostile environment
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 04, 2024, 08:45:44 PMOr gather himself and make a bunny.
No,not that either
F you Joplin clown
Joplin single handily ruining this comeback.
Our inability to get points the last 3 possessions hurts. We had great opportunities and came up empty.
Joplin just killed us. He was laughing out of that timeout too. Not sure what was funny.
Two tough shots by them but Jop has to make a lay-up. Absolutely devastating.
Joplin's a senior, right?
Dang it, I committed to being on the Jop Wagon this year for my son, just can't do it. Maddening
That garbage call looming large.

Scoop
Jop putting the ball on the floor is a disaster. Why does he keep doing it??
Terrible terrible shot selection. And jop should stop driving to the rim. It doesn't work often
Jop may have pissed this one away.
ISU good
Can't laugh during games. Al never laughed.
Joplin putting the ball on the floor is rarely a good thing.

Should have been a cylinder foul.

Two awful foul calls on Stevie bookends a collapse down the stretch
I see Iowa State gets a very friendly home whistle.
Depth is going to be a major problem for this team with the injuries.

We made some poor shot selections in past 5 minutes. Didn't work for open shots like we did with the run. Dang. Let's make this a game.....
Really looks like we ran out of gas after battling back into it. Missed a lot of easy shots. This game was there for the taking.
Need some big stops and shots now down the stretch. Not over, but we made it harder.
Had a lot of chances, not our night, kept fighting, ISU is solid. Finish the last four strong, crush UW on Saturday.
Just get the hell out of here without any more injuries. They had a good effort.
10 straight misses.

Here?!?!? I am OFFENDED SIR
Almost 6 minutes without scoring hurts. Worked so hard to get back into it.
We didn't handle the game pressure well once we nodded it up at 61. The paint misses killed us.

Oh for the love of god. When the game was tied we had about 3 or 4 straight possessions that ended with terrible shots. We were not playing through Kam at that time. Ended up with us down 7 I think
Royce is going to be an evolved Joplin.

There's a lot we can learn from this game imo. But we need to be healthy.
There goes our ROI
If that's an F1 there have been 10-12 of them this game.

That is the softest F1 ever.

The game threads are fun for me to play around in. People are complete knuckleheads and have no idea what they are talking about.
MU was competitive, particularly playing without Ross, Lowery, Kam cold, Jop with a poor game on both ends, and Gold not having a great game. Give ISU credit. Parham and Owens will be good with experience and strength

Lack of newsdream tonight was a major loss
Feel better seeing potentially 3 other top 5 teams lose yesterday and today
Iowa State is very very good. Fast, big, and moves the ball so well. We hung in there. Had we taken the lead things might have been different. Had the chance. Guys never quit. So proud of the fight. Freshmen were good scoring. Some freshmen mistakes but they played a lot

Score tied 61-61 Royce has a rare miss on a shot and Stevie gets called for a foul on a clean steal. Would have like to see what would have happened without the foul call.

Actually looked an offensive foul with the hook.
Iowa St. didn't turn the ball over until late when the game was essentially sealed. They're really good and we couldn't press them. Things just didn't go our way after that absurd foul call on Stevie. In the end they were physically stronger and got easier shots.

Tripling him most of the time, neededto get rid of ball quicker instead of dribbling so much. Doesn't have true PG instincts and ISU took advantage. I guess Shaka wanted him to be aggressive but it hurt offense at the beginning.

True, but he didn't have many turnovers. I think the key to these future scenarios is what the release guy does in open space once Kam relinquishes the rock. We need to do a better job of moving the ball once the defense is in scramble mode. We did that a few times but other times overdribbled and didn't reverse the ball.

I'm going to come back this even though I'm sure we'll all regret it.
I went back and watched the decisive minutes of the 2nd half last night from when MU was down 10 and came back to tie to when MU fell behind by 7. In the 10-0 run Kam scored or assisted on all 10 points. In ISU's subsequent 7-0 run, Jop had three wild drives, all with 15+ seconds on the shot clock, Royce had a drive into the lane where he threw up a wild brick, and Owens had a wide open 3. Aside from Jop's first and last drives where Kam passed him the ball, Kam never touched the ball on offense and was never doubled.
Looks like somebody else needs to pay more attention.
And yes, this was petty.

Thank you for this. I definitely did not like the shot selection and possessions after Stevie's foul. Even though Royce and Owens carried us at times offensively, I thought they were a bit quick on the trigger in key moments. I guess I would rather see that than them being timid, but not every available shot is a good shot. Jop might be better served by driving with more control and balance. He seems to go so hard to the bucket, but then when he is cut off he seems surprised and he often gets stuck with his feet in awkward positions and everything comes to a halt. Work in progress, though he has come a long way.

I told you. You cherry picked the possessions. So no, you did not lay out exactly what happened.
It's OK. You were called out for being wrong in the game thread and now have quadrupled down. You probably should have just let it go, but if you're going to continue to lie, I will continue to call you out for lying.

My god are you dense. I didn't cherry-pick anything. I made the comment about getting Kam the ball during the exact sequence I laid out after MU went on their 10-0 run. You said he was being double teamed. He was not being double teamed during that sequence. Not once. The announcers were saying that Kam should get the ball. It was the point where the game got away and our best player should have been involved.
You were and continue to be 100% wrong. Unless you were talking about some other point in the game, which nobody else was talking about contemporaneously during the game thread at that point in the game.

Uh-huh. ::)
Kam went on a 10-0 run - a 3, 2 drives and a kick out to Owens for a wide open 3. He controlled the ball for virtually all of our possession time on those 4 trips. ISU (as they did all game) was trying to shade their coverage and make things tough on Kam but they never really denied him the ball (he took 21 shots and had 9 assists and had the ball in his hands most of the time) - except in the 6 or so possessions immediately after our run when others (mostly Joplin) decided to create for themselves. Maybe Kam was exhausted (he played all 40) but we're a much better team with the ball in his hands than in Jop's.
Post or timestamp the sequence and let scoop be the judge.
I just think Shaka should the portal and get an Aircraft Carrier. Would solve all these problems.

Full game here:
MU 10-0 run starts 11:28 left in game, about 46 minutes into the video.
ISU run 7-0 run starts just over 9 minutes left, 49:30 into the video.
At question is whether or not Kam was ever double teamed during the 7-0 run.
I'll gladly admit I am wrong if Scoop decides what happened in that sequence meets the definition of a double team.

No double teams, no real effort to deny him the ball. Some help defense as he took it to the hoop but they pretty much did that all night.
