Get blue out. 

[Golden Avalanche]

Last basket at 13:26.  10 minutes, yes 10 minutes.  

Vander missed 4 free throws.  Terrible

That's the "winning" offense we were promised. Deserve this pounding.

[4everwarriors]

Slaughter rule applies?

[Lighthouse 84]

Eight and a half minutes without scoring.  MU has 12 points and Cuse up 14.  

This continues, they win by 35.

You're way too kind.

[Tugg Speedman]

Get blue out. 

What, get our best long range shooter out (at least today).  No way!!

[The Maestro]

2nd highest scoring team in the Big East?

[GOLDY]

Marquette the last couple years has been known for playing hard and out hustling the other teams.  Lately we are lazy and dumb.

13:31 without a bucket.  Yeah defense is the problem.

[MU80]

I hope there are no recruits watching.

[chapman]

Almost as many TOs as points.  I guess Buzz can stop bragging about how the team rarely practices offense cause it shows.  But it doesn't look like they practice defense either.

[ErickJD08]

At the end of the day, this whole crap falls on DJO and Jae. When the heat turns up, the whole team looks lost and no one steps up to make a play.

Blue just can't shoot or finish. One dimensional player. 10 TOs. SU is so much bigger and longer. Not much of a game so far.
We have no offense against good teams. Shot clock violation out of a TO.

But he does something that no one on the team (other than Jae) will do: take it strong AT the D.

The rest, esp. DJO, want it to look "pretty". F- it, cram it down, and get to the line.

Now, making the FTs are another thing for him.

Huge ?s are on this team. Two of them are:
- Where did Junior's offensive confidence go?
- When is Jamil going to play like the AA recruit he was?
- How is this team going to perform next year when Jae and DJO are gone?

[mwbauer7]

Every single one of our players plays defense with their arms and hands at their sides. Whats the deal with that?

[chicagowarrior]

I'm glad other stuff is on directv


switching off this game now

[GGGG]

Get blue out.  

He's at least being aggressive.  He needs to hit the FTs, but not sure who else you want in there. I mean, he's the leading rebounder right now.

We know DJO disappears, so really it falls on Jae, who has been more of a senior leader than DJO.

Maybe get ready for next year and start these guys for the second half:

D. Wilson  (no Junior)
Mayo
Anderson
J. Wilson
Gardner

[jmayer1]

Get blue out. 

And put in who? Everyone is playing like crap, at least Blue has been aggressive.

maybe someone should call him Orange

[#MUBB]

2nd half should be a good gut check.

[MattyWarrior]

All of our averages have been trending down. We're not even competing. JW looks lost out there. At least take some shots.

[MU80]

We have them right where we want them down 20. No wait that's what the other team says, because they know we can't hold a lead nor can we come back.

[ErickJD08]

Mayo
Anderson
J. Wilson

Get ready for season after two and half games in the BE. You're a bright one.

[groove]

maybe boeheim will call an ill-advised time out

[nyg]

DJO misses dunk
Junior misses layup
J. Wilson misses "bunnie"
Vander bricks 4 free throws

Thats 10 easy, easy points and maybe, just maybe be behind by 6.  

[StillWarriors]

We are awful. Not even close to a top 25 team at this point.
