We hold Georgetown to 69 points … and lose badly?

[MU Avenue]

This Marquette team has many moments when it is anemic on offense.

It holds Georgetown to 69 points and loses badly? That is ridiculous.

Marquette has so few scorers, at least who are consistent and reliable.

Sixty points?

I recall having read over and over last summer and fall that this would be a team of big-time players and scorers.

What is happening?

[Warriors10]

Calm down...

Its one game.

[79Warrior]

Many monents?  how about huge lapses that no team can expect to win with when the offense shuts down.

I have seen enough of this team to realize 40 minutes is just to long for them.

[Lennys Tap]

Actually outscored 6-0 to end the game, but you're right about our offense - today, anyway. Most of the season our offense has been our strength.

[MU Avenue]

Calm down...

Its one game.

One game?

Uhh, no.

Marquette has averaged 59½ points over the past two contests.

The problem runs much, much deeper than one game.

Wow a two game sample size where we played badly one game and a team that will enter the top 10 on the road in the other.

Well, I suppose a 100% increase in his sample size from the South Florida game could classify as "much deeper"

Yes, it would have been a stellar win to beat Georgetown on the road, but they are a good team. We will be fine.

Hey, cheebs09, easy on the highfalutin business speak: "... a two-game sample size. ..."

Sample size?

I know you and mwbauer7 are probably hotshot marketing guys, but "sample size" at a site dedicated to discussing and debating MU basketball?

Kinda funny.

[MisterJaylenBrownMU]

Not sure when "sample size" became an elitist, highfalutin concept.  I learned that in eighth grade.

Would you be happier if he had just said, "judging the #12 offense in adjusted efficiency based on two games in the middle of the season against quality competition is completely, unjustifiably ridiculous?"  Syracuse only scored 56 against GTown and that was AT Syracuse.  I guess they're even more screwed than we are.

Don't really care what the sample size is. Open your eyes and be objective. This year's team has major offensive and defensive flaws. In addition, to this point, they haven't gotten appreciably better this season. Perfect formula for an early tourney exist or missing the field completely.

[Warriors10]

Before the Georgetown game Marquette was ranked 19th in the nation in PPG:

[MisterJaylenBrownMU]

And don't even get me started on Ohio State, who put up 58 on Northwestern, then turned around and only scored 62 against Michigan.  

[madtownwarrior]

it would be interesting to see stat on MU's scoring patterns - it seems each games they go through extended periods without scoring...

[ZiggysFryBoy]

all I know is that the sample size of MU Avenue's appearances on this board after a win is about zero.

MisterDMU was an eighth-grader who could define "sample size"?

Holy smoke! That is really something.

Does one really need to post here in blue (teal?) so certain others understand when someone is busting their chops?

Right or wrong, I give everyone here more credit than to color code my posts.

Anyone notice that when crowder dosent get his offense going we lose.   That is as simple as I can say it
