Zags. In game chatter

[Daniel]

We need to hit 2 or 3 3s to break up that zone, or attack and drive and hope for a foul - tho they aren't calling many inside ont he Zags seems.  The zone is why we are losing - great call by them.  Every team will play zone against us if we don;t show we can crack it.

Let's GO MARQUETTE!!  

[77ncaachamps]

No shooters. Horrible.

I hope Jamail gets some play. He looked pure. Unless practices have shown otherwise...

[romey]

as knight said - we need to attack the seams - we just keep passing around the perimeter.  As stated above, it's like we're waiting for a shot to come to us.

[ChicosBailBonds]

not very well

Nor is that surprising, but it's early.  Halftime adjustments

[Blackhat]

No defense.  No shooters.   DJO playing like a kitten, Vander isn't very good at this stage.

[nyg]

MU is 10 for 29 from field (34%).

Gonzaga is shooting 62%.  Gray is insane from 3 and he had 2 fouls on him for like 13 minutes.

That zone destroyed MU. BE teams are watching and going, mmmmmmmmm

That is two games in a row in which MU had the ball with 10 seconds left and throw up a 35 footer, this time by Buycks.  Not good.

Reggie Smith came in, threw ball away after 30 seconds resulting in 3 pointer by Gray.

DJO and Buycks have do what Gray did in first half to survive.

[El Duderino]

Really struggling against the zone. And they are killing us from deep we have to improve the perimeter D

Buzz has to strongly tell that whoever is guarding Gray, that guy can't continue to leave Gray to double on another Zags player. The double team simply isn't worth it if the result can be a kick out to a wide open three for Gray.

Gray is their main offensive weapon and he's averaging nearly 7 three point attempts a game and tonight he's already taken 9 of them with 5 makes. When he has the ball, let him drive if he wants, but don't fall for the jab step and then pull up for three move either.

It always amazes me how often basketball players will play off a guy drilling a bunch of threes instead of staying close on that guy at all times.

Knight is a pleasure to listen to

[JakeBarnes]

I agree with Chico's here.  They have the break to figure it out.  I expect a lot more "old school" (see: last year) Marquette bball with the penetration and kick out.  If only we actually made those threes...

[chren21]

Gray is 5 of 7 from three...  not 9

[JakeBarnes]

I imagine Buzz's halftime speech went something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u05Qot_yh9c

[El Duderino]

Gray is 5 of 7 from three...  not 9

I went by the yahoo box score which says 5-9 from three for Gray.

Either way, whoever is guarding him needs to stop playing off him or doubling which leads to a kick out three.

[romey]

that was old JFB where he initiated contact instead of going strong for the dunk - and he got it swatted

[Steve Buscemi]

put the ball on the floor

[MU B2002]

No words to describe what a stupid foul that was.

[nyg]

Cut it 5, then two turnovers.  Otule just made an idiot foul outside the fouline.  Jeeeeez.

[JakeBarnes]

This is messy.

[DiaperDandy]

We look terrible.  Major letdown after last night.  U would think DJO would have learned from his charge from last night but guess not.

[romey]

foul on DJO on the drive looked like the wromg call in real time - hope to see a replay

[Daniel]

That is the 9th time in 6 games that DJO did that and it costs us points, a foul and the ball.  Really, he either has ZERO court vision or he is a ball hog.  Wither way, I'd sit him down and not play him until he learns how to play.  That really sucks.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Bring home a win boys...plane is taking off in 1 minute so sling needs to shut down

Go Warriors!!

[MarquetteFan94]

Our rebounding is awesome.

[Jam Chowder]

Can ANYONE get a rebound?

[nyg]

Can ANYONE get a rebound?

No

[ErickJD08]

This team really knows how to crap on themselves... Can't finish around the rim.  Buycks committing a travel in the back court with no one on him.  And I can go on...
