Bilas on MU

[Sweenz]

If you have ESPN Insider, Bilas has some good things to say about Marquette, here is the text in case you don't.

Marquette has really refined its playing style the past two weeks. In its past few games, Tom Crean's team has taken 10 fewer 3-point shots per game, has shot 10 more free throws per game and has made more 3-point shots. The Golden Eagles have moved the ball better, attacked in transition better and attacked off the dribble more efficiently. Ousmane Barro has been more active; Dan Fitzgerald has been more of a threat; and the Marquette guards have benefited from both improvements. Marquette ranks near the top of the Big East in hustle and toughness stats, but near the bottom of the league in shooting stats. If the past three games are any indication, the Eagles' shooting numbers will improve. Meanwhile, Marquette remains one of the best and most active defensive teams. The Eagles average 51 deflections per game, and Jerel McNeal averages 12.5 of them. As a comparison, Dwyane Wade averaged 12.2 deflections.
