Whoa, whoa, keep it clean boys
Shaka better take Buzzs ass, or there will be a big blowtorch on his ass.
C'Mon Zaide. Wide open.
NJ has Zoomability.
Chase!!!!
Great play by chase. But, something Chase gives you the Kam didn't? We saw Kam do that 400 times
Find Coit.
Three wide open triples. Gotta knock them down.
Great drive by Benny. We need much more of that.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 01:08:29 PMThree wide open triples. Gotta knock them down.
I thought you were talking about Maryland at first
Maryland raining 3s and showing off their transfers
Omg. Maryland is bad at threes and they hit 4 so far. Come on regression to the mean.
You have gotta be shiiiting me! They will cool off.
Of course they were 4-21 against G-Towm.
Nice walk by Coit on that last 3, Jesus
Maryland looks like they know how to use the portal. Oops, sorry I forgot that subject was blasphemy here.
Yikes, Maryland can't miss. You know they are motivated to win this for Buzz, gonna be an uphill battle today
Why wouldn't MU want to win this for Shaka?
Dumb pass Chase
Just a silly pass by Chase.
Will we ever get a stop???
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 12:58:32 PMSorry for your troubles. Have some broth or Camamile tea.

Can a single MU player stay in front of their man?
It's the Indiana game all over again.
This team seems not to appreciate the necessity of playing defense.
Typical, Marquette starts ice cold from 3 but the opponent can't miss.
Couldn't ask for better looks from distance. These are practice threes. Fking focus.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 01:08:29 PMThree wide open triples. Gotta knock them down.
Wouldn't it be great if we had somebody that could consistently make 3s

Not even close. Maryland is getting lucky as hell on offense. We're inches away from forcing 5 more turnovers.
Our offense is rough though
Why does every other team's desperation 3 at the shot clock buzzer always go in but never MU's
We are out of sync everywhere so far. Need to calm down. Maryland is nit going to keep shooting 80%. Let's Go Marquette!
Who needs the portal?
Gonna be a long year
Quote from: MUEng92 on Today at 01:23:47 PMWhy does every other team's desperation 3 at the shot clock buzzer always go in but never MU's
It's us, not them.
Maryland hitting some tough, contested shots. Defense has been pretty solid. We look pretty lost offensively.
Defense is fine. I have no idea what offensive gameplan we're trying to run

That's it! They are lucky and we are...unlucky.
Giving up a ton of points and the offense looks mid-major. Rough start today
Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 01:24:33 PMIt's us, not them.
Yeah, I suppose if no 3's go in, by definition, 3's at the shot clock buzzer don't go in either
Finally. Maybe that opens the floodgates.
Thatta boy Zaide. Now D up.
MU has saved 3 balls from going out of bounds and all 3 were thrown to Maryland. Ugh
I think they're 10-14??
Soft foul under the basket. jfc
Shaka recruit some real bigs challenge
Ben, what are you doing ?
Some of our turns have been unconscionable but it's the D that's extremely worrisome.
Quote from: willie warrior on Today at 01:26:11 PMThat's it! They are lucky and we are...unlucky.
Hey Willie. You're literally wrong about everything. I don't care what you have to say.
Might be another second half of freed up time instead of watching
The advantage of not using the portal is supposed to be continuity, and in early season the team knowing who they are. Why are we the team still trying to "find our identity" then.

Shh we aren't allowed to ask those questions or suggest there is no plan
I think I'd rather get a root canal than watch this so-called defense.
Fouling him out is one way to counteract 21
I believe ;D
Time to make a run. Parham has to start making open looks.
Quote from: GB Warrior on Today at 01:32:44 PMShh we aren't allowed to ask those questions or suggest there is no plan
No, ask away and please let us know which portal players you'd have liked them to go after.
8/21 FG. Gold, 1 attempt. Hamilton none. WTH?
Get Royce off the floor.
Quote from: forgetful on Today at 01:31:41 PMThe advantage of not using the portal is supposed to be continuity, and in early season the team knowing who they are. Why are we the team still trying to "find our identity" then.
Because most of the continuity guys aren't good enough right now. Maybe the forecasted leaps from Hamilton, Owens, Parham and Lowery are still in the offing, but it hasn't happened yet.
Thatta boy Ben. Let's go now!
Royce is going to have a hell of a 2nd half to get back to 0 in the +/-
I really like this Stevens kid.
I'm starting to understand why parham didn't get the starting spot. Young guys and Ben keeping us in this
Quote from: forgetful on Today at 01:42:39 PMI really like this Stevens kid.
Absolutely. The Frosh are stepping up.
I was going to take credit for Royce finally hitting a 3 after my insult and then I realized it was Stevens
Quote from: MUEng92 on Today at 01:41:27 PMRoyce is going to have a hell of a 2nd half to get back to 0 in the +/-
We need the kid but he's hurting us right now. Let me talk to the young man for a few mins before bringing him back in the game. :)
Quote from: forgetful on Today at 01:42:39 PMI really like this Stevens kid.
Nigel and Stevens look the part.
Hello!!!
WOOOOOOWWWWWWW
Holy sh*t.
That's #1 on SC.
As good of alley oop finish as you'll ever see..Zaide!
Sorry Chase. Your dunk from last game has been surpassed
Gift foul call to take some momentum away from MU after that insane oop.
That was something.
That was such a beautiful play by James too
More surprising... a Buzz team getting killed on the boards, or a Shaka team killing someone on the boards?
Fk. Bcrap call.
Chase!! LFG!!
Chase!
Catch the ball Royce!
Parham has been on the struggle bus big time today..hope he rounds into form quickly
Zeeeee!!!!
How wasn't Zaide fouled on that take?
Goooolllldbrick with the air ball.
I've never seen a guy get called for a foul by getting landed on
Goooolllldbrick with the air ball.
Great D by AS.
Contusion looks about 50 years old. Probably been in college 10 plus years.
Gooolllldbrick
Let's get a cheap foul on 21
Damn.
Well there was a cheap foul but not what I asked for
We are bad. Thankfully they are bad. Hopefully they don't bring the Payne in the 2nd half.
Coitus looks about 40 years old. Probably been in college 10 plus years.
Good finish to the half.
Missed opportunity at the end of the half to build a little cushion but after being down 13 I'll take a tie.
Willie sharing a lot of wisdom, too.
Good punchback, but let some points get away.
We have to get more from Royce and Caedin. I'm a little perplexed as to why Royce wasn't pulled after a brutal stretch of basketball. He's gotta tighten his handles and protect the rock better.
Ross is the man at least. Hamilton is virtually useless. Time to give Clark more time. Nice to see Lowery doing a few things today
Quote from: willie warrior on Today at 02:00:50 PMGood finish to the half.
Still offering to buy you a beer. I'm sitting behind the bench.
Great fight to get back into the game. Gold is playing well. Lowery - wow. Chase doing what he must - leading the team. Must handle Payne when he returns. Go Marquette!

Not convinced we're bad. Frustrating but I see upside as guys get used to new roles and gain confidence.
Zaide needs to assert himself more consistently. He's on the verge of becoming the MAN.
Quote from: Uncle Rico on Today at 02:02:22 PMStill offering to buy you a beer. I'm sitting behind the bench.
Willie is a Zima man.
IMO, we're a pretty bad team when Gold/Hamilton are out there together. Since Gold gives us more, need to significantly reduce Hamilton's minutes. Our energy goes up considerably when Hamilton goes to the bench.
Tie is good at this point.
Maryland went 4 for 4 on first threes, then went 1 for 6 after.
Freethrows hurt MU, missing front ends, etc and Maryland having 11 made. Just another over aggressive defense scheme.
MU 7 for 24 from three. On pace for well over 40 three attempts. Maybe make some key ones in second half.
I think it's clear Shaka doesn't really trust DO. Parham is better when he gets a bucket or two in the paint before moving outside. I don't mind the spot threes, but him going downhill and using multiple dribbles is not a recipe for success.

Agree. And yeah Ben probably can't play the 5 all season physically, but his rebounding has gotten so good that he can hold his own. He's definitely our best option at the 5.

Not bothered by Royce missing 3's. Needs to be stronger with the ball and more aware.

It's a problem. Caedin must be more productive.
I want to be wrong but I just don't see it with Caedin. I can't even envision what a successful Caedin looks like.
Would we have a fighting chance to beat Radford?
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 02:00:16 PMWe are bad. Thankfully they are bad. Hopefully they don't bring the Payne in the 2nd half.
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 02:10:33 PMNot bothered by Royce missing 3's. Needs to be stronger with the ball and more aware.
If he can find a somewhat consistent offensive game it gives us a lot more options on that end of the floor
I think we should try Ben with four smalls in brief stretches. I agree with the experts that the Hamilton/Gold combo hasn't been ideal.
Great kick look there from Nigel.
Good grief. No idea what Chase was doing there. Focus!
Great swipe by Z.
LFG!
Ughhh. NJ should have given that up.
Yeah, should have been GT
Bad D fron Caedin. Can't allow that position.
Seems like Shaka is just using Caedin for fouls today
Bam!
LFG!!!
21 doing his Aaron Rodgers impression
Now THIS is Marquette basketball!
That's it RP. Nice o-reb.
Time to get the triple cooking again.
Was that TO called before falling out or was it a foul?
Sweet 3rd foul on 21
Zaide has to love playing with Nigel.
Good change of direction there from Chase.
Let's go now!!! Amp it up!!
Ughhh. Why Tre?
Keep attacking Chase.
Mr. Ross!
Another gift call
Didn't like that shot from Ben.
Chase can get that shot at will.
Make-up call after the other play.
Nice extra pass DO, would've been cool to go in
That was about as soft as a foul as I've seen called in a while.
C'Mon Royce.
Omg.
Hate to see that.
Ugh that is awful
Please don't show that again
That was really bad. Made me nauseous seeing it happen.
Having Clark, Norman, and Owens on the floor together defies some logic for me.
Ouch. I hope Payne is okay.
Quote from: forgetful on Today at 02:36:25 PMThat was really bad. Made me nauseous seeing it happen.
Agreed.
The scorebug blocked the shot but it looked his hip popped out
Terrible.
Quote from: KolekThrees on Today at 02:37:22 PMOuch. I hope Payne is okay.
He's not. That was a really bad injury, they type that can be career enders.
Will put out a prayer for him though.
Is anyone having issues with the Peacock feed?
No loose ball foul there huh
Just got a little blurry for a few seconds
Can't foul there. Ridiculous.
Where's the foul?
Gotta refocus.
Need a time-out.
That injury was gnarly. Dangers of hanging on the rim too long. Hope it's somehow less bad than it looked
Does Ross have 3 fouls?
Let's go now! Good pressure.
That was a clear foul.
Saunders with 3 fouls as well
Lowery was fouled
Lost our rhythm.
Energy completely flipped since the injury
Waited way too long for that timeout.
Guy's lower half is displaced and we fall apart
Needed a time-out earlier. And Caedin should not be going one on 14 feet from the rim.
Embarrassing. Should have called timeout minutes ago to reorient
WTF is Hamilton dribbling around for with who else is on the floor
That timeout was taken about a minute too late and it may cost us the game.
Quote from: Markusquette on Today at 02:49:28 PMGuy's lower half is displaced and we fall apart

Shaka's rotations and lack of TOs will cost MU this game.
Buzz is a hell of a coach. Crazy adversity they are going through.
Ughhh. C'Mon Ben.
Quote from: Norm on Today at 02:52:37 PMShaka's rotations and lack of TOs will cost MU this game.
Some of the rotations have puzzled me.
I feel bad for Payne, but I want his team to lose
Last four minutes MU was up 57-48
Then 22 -7 run by Maryland. MU still three happy and costing them, not surprising.
Hope some start dropping.
Peacock sucks
Can't make a shot now.
I didn't think play was to be stopped for a shoe problem.
Early game 3 pt shooting has returned for both teams
Terrible D from RP.
What??? Didn't see a foul there.
Quote from: GB Warrior on Today at 02:51:59 PMShaka is committed to making sure we learn through losses

Self-inflicted adversity? Some Matt Lafleur bullsht here
No one on the court did the action that the ref motioned on the foul call
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 02:55:29 PMWhat??? Didn't see a foul there.
Yeah looked like a player who was out of control, jumped away from the hoop and simply lost control. Ran into his own player too.
Ref simply couldn't see the play and made the wrong call.
Quote from: GB Warrior on Today at 02:56:14 PMSelf-inflicted adversity? Some Matt Lafleur bullsht here
Don't remind me of MLF during a rough MU game
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 02:04:31 PMNot convinced we're bad. Frustrating but I see upside as guys get used to new roles and gain confidence.
This would be a loss that probably can't be overcome in terms of at large chances if Pharrell Payne misses time like it appears he may. Maryland will not be good at all.
More important than this being a potential bad loss is just how we are playing. The defense is sad. No urgency to win.
Ughhh. Wake the F up guys.
We will take no gifts
Why are the Frosh sitting?
DO brings nothing!
Fear it might be a long year.
Not really understanding the use of Owens in this game.
Unreal.
The missed lay up and air ball 3 is classic BG
Fk. Catch the ball Royce!
Someone shoot my eyes out
Can't keep missing so many wide open shots.

Should be Maryland ball, but Nigel was fouled too.
Saved us from going 2/17
Put the RGV shirts in the cellar next to the GTST shirts
Now chase can make an uncontested layup
Throw this game in the trash. Worst finishing I've seen in a long time
Well I never even expected MU to come back after that terrible start but the ending wasn't much better
We're just so unskilled.
9 for 20 on chippies. You're not beating even average teams with that stat.

Quote from: rgoode57 on Today at 03:27:20 PMThey cannot keep giving up this many points and expect to win a lot of games. Where the hell is the defense?
Exactly right. We don't have many competent defenders after our initial pressure. Especially among our bigs.
I think we are going to have our hands full in the Big East. The team never quits, which is great to see. But apparently we don't have the horsepower . . . Chase Lowery and Ben stepped up but we need a couple more . . .

...what was successful about last season...making the tournament?...but I get the point you're making. Problem is, we've seen what this team is. Maybe some improvement as the year goes along, but unlikely ncaa tourney caliber. End of last season and so far in this early season, it feels like a significant backslide.
