Flemings is a heck of a Frosh.

Every player on the floor for both of these teams can make plays.

MU desperately needs ballers to compete at this level.   And far more physicality out there.

Very upsetting.

If Marquette is interested in a Freeman they recruited out of high school, Owen wouldn't be the one I'd want.

If your'e still arguing that Owen Freeman is the reason for Creighton's defensive problems, that's not supported by any data. In fact, at least one data point - DBPM -  indicates Creighton plays better defensively when Freeman is on the court.
Ben Gold, who gets glazed around here for his defensive improvement, has a career DRtg of 105.7.
Freeman, who's "been an absolutely terrible defender his entire career" has a career DRtg of 104.7.
And in case anyone is curious, Oso's career DRtg was 101.0.
Things that make you go hmmm.

What's making you go hmm? Is that supposed to be some insignificant difference? Freeman's is closer to Caedin Hamilton's career defensive rating than he is Oso's. I'm not sure why you're trying to convince people Owen Freeman is some elite defender. He's an awful defender that rebounds well.

Ben's defense isn't the team's problem. He's also not some elite defender. So congrats to Owen for being close to a mediocre defender whose stats are skewed playing on this atrocious defensive team this year.

Shaka's decision to build an entire position group with two guys who didn't even get low major offers is worse than his no transfer policy. Broeker needs to tell him that choice doesn't get a pass moving forward.

Today, along with a clip from the movie Infinity War, we look at the one future in 14,000,605 that would result in a Marquette Big East Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament bid.

Well, it is not zero. So there is that.

Obviously these two teams are vastly superior to MU, but it's their level of physicality and tenacity that really stands out. 

We could use Momcilovic.  Smh.
