What, me worry?

Who realized that Joplin was 90% from the line?

I did, but only thanks to Wags.

Many weeks ago, I made a list of MU players who I most wanted to see at the line in the clutch. Joplin, who was a poor FT shooter
last season, was low on my list. But Wags responded that Joplin was doing a lot better this season ... and I looked it up ... and  he was right. And since then, I've been tracking it. He's been great!

If I got fouled during a 3PA in an NCAAT game but then proceeded to miss all three FTs, I'd work on my free throw shooting too.

I'm very glad he's improved from the charity stripe.

At first I chuckled, but then I said wait a minute!

That's gonna be the all-time leader in wins in Marquette history according to Brews astute research.

JopWagon, or IronJop, is just trying to get everything off that chicken bone in his final season...
Thing is, he's doing all the stuff we probably would've expected the least- rebounding and playing great defense, hustling and working harder than most probably expected- but the outside shot hasn't fallen as it should/will.

Good news on that front is that
1- DePaul is coming up, 2x in the next 10
2- All Marquettes reach equilibrium

I've got a feeling that Mr Joplin will be a very large reason why Marquette makes the Final 4 this year

Wouldn't he tie Kam and Stevie? Or were they out for games I'm forgetting.

Also I think Otule's the actual leader with 7yrs worth of wins!

The other 4 starters are shooting between 75 and 80% from the line.  The team is shooting  76% for the season.  It would be nice to get there more often.

Ha!! The prevailing thought through much of the 27 pages is they got screwed by the refs.

They go back and forth from patting themselves on the back for hanging with the #7 team in the country and seemingly agreeing that we are overrated and not a serious contender. With no self awareness about how those 2 thoughts contradict.

Sound scoopish.

There was a point early in the second half where every GU player on the floor had 2 fouls.   MU immediately attacked and hung a third on someone.....forcing Cooley to put him on the bench.

They would, if the refs called all fouls that we Scoopers see, and they miss.

I think it was Kam has missed 4 games and Stevie 3.

David has missed an astounding 0

A sign of Gtown hoops starting to care again. Their MU game chat is 27 pages deep

Just a heads-up I believe our re-match is on Peacock.

Portugal, The Man version.  Not Mad Magazine version.
1.  Bad halves happen.
2.  Good halves happen.  Making shots and getting stops helps.
3.  Chase was a man tonight.  One more thread that can be 'accidentally' deleted.
4.  The team is tough minded and resilient.   So is the coach.
5.  Turnovers, not usually a problem, were tonight.  Out of character.
6.  Tre had a game.  Not quote SOTG worthy.  Too bad.  That would have been an epic prediction to get right. Only productive sub in the second half.
7. Jean Felix night for the whole Georgetown team.  Crazy.
8. I don't gamble.  Games like this reinforce that decision.
9. I trust there were no hot takes in the game chat.  I will read it tomorrow.
10.  W.  Get Thievie healthy and develop the rest of the bench behind Tre.
11.  Did they find anything on Oak Island?

I think I had the only chase thread

Why the hell would this game cause me to delete asking about getting chase going........and then him getting going lol

[PGsHeroes32]

Amazing that Cooley did that without Epps. Very concerned about the game in DC assuming he plays.

That zone D of theirs...they clobber every offensive rebounder. Gold on at least 3 occassions got smacked in face or head trying to get off rebound.

Welcome to the Big East I guess.

I am far from convinced Gtown isn't a better team without a gunner like Epps
