ESPN blog raves about MU offense

[Aughnanure]

How good was Marquette's offense in its 95-78 win over Cincinnati? Count the ways: The Golden Eagles scored 1.39 (!!) points per trip, shot 34-of-60 from the field and cashed 20 of their 24 free throw attempts. Cincinnati wasn't bad, per se. (Although the Bearcats might want to rediscover their mid-Big East form before their NCAA tournament chances fade from distance.) On the contrary, Marquette -- which has now won nine of its past 10 -- was just too good. Considering the Golden Eagles started from a 16-4 deficit in the first few minutes (something Buzz Williams' team does almost every game, it seems), this was an offensive burst for the ages.

First 5 minutes, score 4 points.  Next 35 minutes, score 91.  Seems about right.

Not to mention in that 35 minutes, we out scored them 91-62.  The good news is that the team definitely knows that they have that explosive ability and don't panic if we get off to one of our all-too-common slow starts.
