LFG!!!
We have no choice. We must subdue the Sooners.
Oklahoma uses the portal so Marquette's already lost.
Outstanding start.
Ughh. Focus Caedin!
Nigel!!!
Gotta d rebound.
Fouls? There are no fouls on Black Friday
Royce hitting the 3 helps.
Stevens!
LFG!!
"Marquette hot from 3". That is a sentence I haven't heard in a long while
First time all season we have looked composed on offense.
Not pushing into mistakes. Just making the right play. If you're open, shoot it. If you're not, pass it. If they give you a lane, drive it.
Making. The. Right. Play!
Playing with a lot of confidence for the first time this year.
Caedin with 2 great moves so far and nothing to show for them

Point blank.
2 big threes for RP.
Oh so this is what fun basketball feels like
C'mon Zaide. Go stronger.
Wow that was an impressive block by OU
Zaide has to play with far more tenacity. He should have grabbed that ball.
Gotta finish. 3rd missed bunny.
Grab the ball Royce!
C'mon Royce that's two loose balls he should have gotten
NJ's was a 2. Bummer
I despise Caedin Hamilton and it's not even his fault.
He cannot be playing in the Big East.
Nigel!
Getting pushed around a bit. Gotta toughen up. Ben looked like a toddler on that block out.

Him getting those looks is a good development though. If he can consistently create that he'll finish eventually
Zaide is so weak attacking the basket. He doesn't know how or want to draw contact. I like his ability, but a major concern of his game. And he's had two blocked now as a result.
Quote from: BM1090 on Today at 01:28:37 PMHim getting those looks is a good development though. If he can consistently create that he'll finish eventually
Plant, shot fake, relax, and dunk the fking basketball or lay it in. Period.
We'd rather turn the ball over than shoot a mid range jumper
Zaide will be a much more effective player if he learns to absorb contact at the rim and draw fouls.

Sure, that makes sense
Chase!!!
Great D Stevens
LFG!!

And plant sometimes and shot fake. Drives me up the wall.
Quote from: WolfganghisKhan on Today at 01:30:41 PMWe'd rather turn the ball over than shoot a mid range jumper
We have two turnovers.
Nigel James has been as good on yhe court as Fanta is bad in the mic. Good Lord
Chase has used 2 Kam moves already today
Get Royce back on the floor.
Is there a way Nielson can track if viewing households in Mequon are giving standing ovations when Porter Moser is shown on screen?
Count that!
Pathan's 3 going in means something is different today
The double heat check
Damn. Missed the two easiest threes.
Quote from: MUEng92 on Today at 01:36:04 PMPathan's 3 going in means something is different today
Huge for us if he can find some consistency.
Owens and Hamilton being total 0's killed the season but there is so much else to be excited about. Thankfully Owens was accounted for in the roster construction by guys like Stevens and Phillips being able to step in.
We somehow had no backup plan for Caedin Hamilton.
Very inspiring start all else considered.

100% correct. Move the ball, make the right play, knock down wide open looks.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 01:36:42 PMDamn. Missed the two easiest threes.
The reload was ugly mechanics
It's amazing how much better a team is when they're hitting 3's.
Find Pack.
Call the time out.
What's the call??
Sweet Jesus Zaide! Focus!
Execute and get a freaking bucket.
That's three of Zaide's shots in the paint blocked already
Coming back to earth
Unbelievable. Should have called a t-o immediately and gotten in their grills.
Ben gold, my god.
Just a piss poor end to the half.
Expected.
Just an atrocious 4 mins. Shaka absolutely should have called a time out.
Think we just need to acknowledge we aren't a good man to man team for whatever reason...zone has been much more effective
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 01:46:08 PMJust an atrocious 4 mins. Shaka absolutely should have called a time out.
Timeout wasn't the issue...we stopped making shots and they got back in the game as a result.
We should at worst be up 10. Zero points for 4+ mins to close the half? Total lack of focus.
One FT. We're so soft
Quote from: Elonsmusk on Today at 01:48:18 PMTimeout wasn't the issue...we stopped making shots and they got back in the game as a result.
The possessions weren't good. Didn't move the rock and took bad shots or forced.
So OU scoring the last 9 points of the half isn't great, but they also went scoreless the last 2:43 of the half. Could be worse

True. Wright St. up 3 on Butler.
Decent half overall. At least the first 15 min. We look a bit better than the past few games.
Parham has never met a 3 point shot he did not like. Good attitude for a 25% shooter from 3.
15 good minutes, 5 bad minutes.
Will the Real Slim Shady please standup?
Sure wish these guys would embrace contact in the paint. OU with 7 blocks already because we're little snowflakes in the paint.
Like how the announcers kept on touting MU making threes, yet Oklahoma is right with them with 6 on 43% and MU with 7 on 44%. Oklahoma's been wide open because Shaka doubling teaming again and player kicks it back out to wide open player.
Difference is Oklahoma blocking 7 shots inside and Hamilton, Parham and Lowery missing a bunch of shorties.

Zaide, in particular, could improve in that regard. Been volleyball spiked 3 times so far.

Absolutely!
It's time to get back to finding our rhythm.

The next time Zaide goes strong to the basket will be the first.
Looked like a slip to me there.
Let's go now. Move the rock, let it rain.
Maybd that gets Zaide going.
Three great moves by Caedin but bupkis
My goodness. I don't understand Caedin going one on one from 18 feet.
Great take by Chase there. Good plant in the paint.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 02:07:27 PMMy goodness. I don't understand Caedin going one on one from 18 feet.
Well, his four teammates were standing around watching so I don't know what else he could do
Finally Royce gets a loose ball
Let's go now.
Excellent take by Chase.
If Ben goes up with 2 hands, that's our rebound.

Difference? We haven't trailed.

That's on the coaches. He needs to keep it simple. He's too often trying to do too much.
I know he hasn't finished at all, but this is the first time I've seen what Caedin could become.
What on earth was that from Royce? Plant two feet in the paint.
