Quote from: brewcity77 on Today at 02:51:09 PMIf anyone wants another example of how incompetent the PR side is, still no mention of Nigel James setting the Marquette freshman record for points in a game last night with 38. Nice, easy chance to point out how one of Markus' all-time records was broken, something positive in this negative season, and Marquette is just ignoring it, I strongly suspect because no one there actually realized it.

Quote from: tower912 on Today at 02:59:05 PMI think that he had to grow into the opportunity. Continue to recover from his surgery. I thought for the non-conference part of the season he was the worst defender on the team and cited instances. At least now he isn't so far out of position that he is picking off teammates.
So, yes, as he has healed and improved enough on defense, he is playing more and making the most of it. Shaka said he was improving in practice and close to it translating into games.
Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 09:57:52 AMHe normally is, but I thought he was brutal on defense last night. Consistently blown by off the dribble while he's trying to get into a guy 38 feet from the hoop, and fouling a 3 point shooter at a key moment.
Quote from: MU82 on Today at 01:01:40 PMQuite encouraged by the recent play of Owens. Folks were giving up on him (and Parham too) way too early. Young players develop at different paces, and it's been fun watching DO play more freely, with more confidence and spirit, lately. He had several huge plays last night.
If he can continue to improve - and there's really no reason he can't - we'll have him, Parham, James and Stevens as a solid core. Plus Egbuonu, Sheek and an improved Phillips. Hopefully add a couple of good players through the portal, and that's a team that can win next season and beyond.
Quote from: BM1090 on January 19, 2026, 10:59:50 PMCould not disagree more on Ben. He's playing really well outside shot making. If he was shooting his normal percentage from deep he'd be our clear second best player.
