Jay Bilas on Marquette

[MisterJaylenBrownMU]

Marquette senior Wesley Matthews is playing the best basketball of his career, and he has been one of the most productive players in the country. Matthews is averaging over 21 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.4 steals while shooting 51 percent from the floor, 43 percent from 3, and 87 percent from the line (and he is getting to the line often). Matthews has played with the same lineup for his entire career, and sometimes a player can get "stuck" in a certain role. With the offseason coaching change (Buzz Williams replacing Tom Crean), Matthews seems to have broken out of that role to be more productive. But even with the game against Dayton, Marquette has yet to play the meat of its schedule. The real tests are coming up.


He also had a bit about Chris Wright's dunk being the play of the year.

Can't argue with any of that.  BTW, does anyone have a clip of that dunk?  I saw it on tv watching the game, but they never replayed it!!

For what its worth, the Wright dunk was the CBB Play of the week in Canada.
