On pace to get blocked about 100 times today. And weak trying to grab the loose balls after the fact.

Moving the ball decently other than that

Gotta grab boards. Giving a offensively challenged team extra chances isn't good
Title: Re: Johnnies are evil
Post by: PGsHeroes32 on January 16, 2021, 11:37:53 AM
Failure to get loose balls is only reason we are not up about 15 right now.

Given them 6 pts the last 2 trips
Title: Re: Johnnies are evil
Post by: PGsHeroes32 on January 16, 2021, 11:40:56 AM
GRAB THE FU CKING BALL.

Right now we are basically banking on SJU knocking a rebound out of bounds to get the ball back.
Title: Re: Johnnies are evil
Post by: AlumKCof93 on January 16, 2021, 11:43:47 AM
Overall we are playing well but poor rebounding,  or getting any loose balls and Justin Lewis on defense. 
Title: Re: Johnnies are evil

2 fouls on Champaigne is nice.
Title: Re: Johnnies are evil
Post by: MUBurrow on January 16, 2021, 11:47:24 AM
The rebounding will be a little worse when playing zone, but yeah there's a middle ground between that and this.
Title: Re: Johnnies are evil
Post by: PGsHeroes32 on January 16, 2021, 11:49:16 AM
Greg just misses a transition 3 which would put it to 11. They hit one immediately on other end. That was unfortunate.

Theo gotta take his time in the post he had positioning.


Offense getting a lot of good looks.

Post by: brewcity77 on January 16, 2021, 11:50:49 AM
This game is absolutely why our defense frustrates me. Not just allowing unguarded threes, but giving a shooter 2-3 seconds without even token defense to prepare the shot. SJU is at least 5/7 on unguarded spot up threes by my count.
Title: Re: Johnnies are evil
Post by: PGsHeroes32 on January 16, 2021, 11:52:01 AM
My god

Call a TO for DJ to throw ball away. Give Justin a second foul.

Luckily guy only made 1/2

Post by: shoothoops on January 16, 2021, 12:00:29 PM
Efficient 3 point shooting, when, how, whom. Greg of course is by far their best shooter.

Strong points in the paint. Some nice high lows, with Garcia and Lois, as well as some Carton drives for MU. 

Need to work on reducing 2nd chance points, grabbing the ball, as St. John's continues to miss many jumpers. MU Having a few of their own helped offset this a bit.

Need to be strong on the ball in 2nd half, defend, continue good spacing and making the extra pass moving the ball with pace.

The rebounding/loose balls has been brutal. But I think the initial defense has been really solid. We forcing a bad jump shooting team into taking jumpers.

Take that back about Greg.


IN BOUND THE DAMN BALL.

Just handing them pts. 5-0 run and they get a 3rd straight possession. Thats impressively bad.

Wojo seems to have no sense as to the flow of the game.

Not exactly Wojo's fault that Greg didnt in bound the ball.

And that seemingly every time we block a johnnies shot it goes right to another johnny. And when they stuff us, its possession over.

Wojo doesnt have a magic wand.

St. John's made the half time adjustment to attack MU's guards off of the bounce. Need to stay in front of your man. There's been some rim protection help a little bit but it's been successful. MU switches to zone and is late on corner 3 close out.

A few ill advised offensive fouls and unforced errors. McEwen will sit a while and is close to having at least 4 fouls in 8 of 14 games.

A few St. John's d lapses for easy MU buckets.

Theo is also sitting with 3. Jamal as 3 as well.

We gotta draw some fouls on them this half.

He didn't sit too long, and after watching Cain and Sy try to break the press, he checks back in.

Carton getting his pocket picked a few times this half too. MU has 8 turnovers in the first six minutes of 2nd half.

Cain has been late on close outs multiple times in the 2nd half.
Title: Re: Johnnies are evil
Post by: PGsHeroes32 on January 16, 2021, 12:32:29 PM
LMAO this is might be the most embarrassing one yet.

Just handing them the ball and letting their best player kill us.

This team is incapable of going a game without giving up a massive run. We simply have to hope that SJU like Providence made it too early and don't sustain it like Uconn

The challenge with Marquette is that if healthy (he isn't), Greg would possibly be their best non Freshman player. Too many of MU's returning players are inconsistent with their levels of play, game to game, and within the game.

For me it always comes back to, and starts with guard play. 1,2,3, and depth there as well. MU struggling at those positions has taken thr front court players out of the game a lot in the 2nd half.

Cain and Carton are really struggling defensively.

Carton goes 1 on 3 makes a tough shot after fake screen hand off. Then he flexes towards the MU bench while his man (Alexander) beats him down the floor on thr cut to basket for lay up.

Totally agree. That felt like the most stressful game of the season, at least that’s how it feels right now.

Well...at least that's a correctable problem!

That, and some occasional heat checks, but he'll work through that as he gets more games under his belt IMO

We’re about 500 in the wojo era against that program, but I always feel we match up poorly against them. Despite playing into their style, it’s nice to see them pull out the win.

Theo is man

Thought he had a great game and particularly about a five minute stretch late in the second half. Growth in so many areas over the 4 years. Love to see it.

He has trouble staying in front of his man on defense. He clearly can make the offense go. And, he makes things happen, as he did today. But he is at times a sloppy player. A very good player, but has moments as he had breaking the press with too much dribble in 2nd half etc...

The challenge is who else do you have, Sy.(he really struggled blocking out on the boards at times) .and foul trouble McEwen etc....McEwen made a great play left dribble drive overpowering Alexander, and using his body on the left hand lay up on the game winner. The question was the handle. Would he ve able to keep the handle. He did.

Perhaps he is not yet ready for NBA.

He isn’t. But he’s damn good still. We lose for sure today without him.

If he stays through his senior year, I can see him ending up like Brunson.    Completely controlling the ball and the offense.    Right now, he has played 34 college games.    Pretty good.   Not NBA ready yet.

Probably not that good.    But the kind of PG you want.   One who controls the game, can get his when it is called for.   One all of the other teams have to plan for.   

Today, the difference between when he was on the floor and when he sat was stark.    That is a sign of a good starting PG.
