Not sure what the situation is at Cincinnati but surely it can't be that bad, right?. Regardless, it's nice knowing that Marquette fans would never stoop this low, even with a season like the one we're having. At least I hope not.

Nope,  I hope not either. Not the way to get future players to MU. Not the way to keep the players we need.  Loved our fan support for the Villanova game.  Had to make the mothers of the current players feel good.  Looked like they had a nice section.  The freshman and sophomore parents and players need all the support we can give them so they can stick around.  And despite this year not going well Chase and Ben deserve out support too for all they have given to the program.

Just watched the game last night and I would take that shot any day. He will be part of the solution going forward.  Might as well start getting used to those situations.

Stevens or Nigel would have been the other two I would have liked shooting that ball if it had somehow worked out that way. 

I like the way MU has played the last couple games.  Nigel will be a star.  But we needed several more players to play at Nigel's level to compete this year and don't have it.  I think it will be a fun game but St Johns has too much fire power,  Also Ben being hurt does not help our chances.

Looking back, it's crazy how much fire power MU had on Shaka's first team. I think we will all look back and say the same of a limited number of players on this team in addition to Nigel.  I like Parham's toughness of late.  Love the way he took shoulder after shoulder in the chest guarding Carrol (sp?) of Xavier.  And although sometimes frustrating he has a good feel for scoring the ball.  Stevens catches my eye every time with his defense and just wish he would be more aggressive on offense.  Phillips is still a baby giraffe but I like him. 

Just don't have the Morsel's and Lewis' and Kueth's to supplement those guys to be a tournament team.  Chase and Ben haven't played well enough consistently enough on offense to supplement the freshman and sophomores.  Chase just needs to play within himself (straight line drives to the hoop and the occasional three) and continue to play good defense. Needs to be a leader on the team in a secondary if not tertiary scoring role going forward.  Should never have the ball at the end of games unless he is wide open.  Ben needs to continue to play good defense and hit a couple threes.  A coupe wide open threes a game will get us more wins.  If Both continue to be a liability on offense there will be very few wins, especially against teams like St John's.

Much more fun and competent team to watch lately.  Looking forward to the game and continued growth of the next wave of players.

Neither team has met preseason expectations.  If I bet, I would bet on the home team.  NJ gets a homecoming.   Hopefully, the stomach big has exited.  Opportunities abound.

Let's have some fun folks.
The last two games was some MU BB worth watching.

Is it conceivable he'll start drilling threes again?  Are there any psychological solutions?

what do you mean, 'again'?

No and no.

Freshman with a reputation as a shooter playing in crunch time for the first time got a look and shot. 

Come on, LaFleurper was right there.
