Some random observations on Notre Dame game

[GGGG]

**Davante really hurt us with his two dumb fouls in the first half.  Lost all inside presence after that.

**I have no flippin' clue why Steve Taylor doesn't play more.  None.  

**Too much Mayo, he simply isn't doing anything right now on either side of the floor...and frankly after playing well for the last few games, Lockett just had a stinker.

**Steve Taylor needs to play more.

**Turnovers....way too many turnovers.  Honestly that is going to be how this team loses in the tournament.

**ND just runs pick and rolls over and over and over, and we rarely made adjustments.

Oh well.  Sweet 16 would be a good goal for this team.  #freestevetaylor

You forgot Jim Burr

That about sums it up.

Marquette is a better than ND. No doubt about that. Can't double-up a team on TOs and expect to win...especially once Jim Burr turns on you. It's as simple as that.

Jim Burr is insufferable.  But the refs in no way cost MU this game.

+1. MU could have put this game away in the first half.

[jesmu84]

Burr absolutely turned in the first half when Buzz was on the court. Yes, ND started hitting shots and yes, MU turned it over. But the way the game was reffed after that point was totally different.

What?

Seriously?

You just acknowleged that ND started hitting shots, and MU turned the ball over, and you are blaming Burr telling Buzz not to run out on the court??

No.  That wasn't it.

The refs definitely did not cost MU the game but did hurt their chances.

No.  That wasn't it.

I never blamed the refs for the loss. I just said that the game was reffed differently after that moment.

Outside of being a bunch of pricks, I don't think the refs called a bad game at all.

[marquette09]

We couldn't stop them the last 12 minutes of the game.  When we did stop them ND got an offensive board.....just a bad finish.

Oh. So you didn't watch the game?  

[chapman]

Steve can take Anderson, Mayo, and Lockett's minutes.  How does he get 8 and those three combine for 51?  Since that's a few too many give Jake Thomas a few; he won't do much but he won't constantly lose his man like Anderson or turn it over like Lockett.

How do you know?

[NavinRJohnson]

Turnovers hurt in the first half. Offensive glass in the second. Rebound the ball and its a different game.

I was expecting a loss, and they would have gotten their heads handed to them tomorrow, so whatever. Moving on. Does it knock them down a peg as far as seeding goes? Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Doesn't really matter either. The margin between a 1 seed and an 8 seed is smaller than its ever been. You wanna advance, you need to win a game.

MU was 7 for 12 at line
ND was 18 for 21 at line

+1. Down the stretch it was a good look and bucket or miss and offensive board.

[MerrittsMustache]

MU was 7 for 12 at line
ND was 18 for 21 at line

At least 8 to 10 of ND's free throws came when MU started fouling. FTs don't tell the story in this case.

[CTWarrior]

MU was 7 for 12 at line

ND attacked the lane more than we did.  I don;t think officials were a big factor at all.  A call here or call there may have been wrong, but if you were officiating that game you would have had enough of our whining too.  Counter-productive if you ask me.

[GGGG]

MU was 7 for 12 at line

Considering how they played, that was a pretty good ratio even considering all the junk free throws that ND got at the end.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Connaughton was 6-10 from the field with all 6-10 from the perimeter.  And he was guarded on how many of those 10?  It ain't rocket science.

I'm not saying that the refs cost us the game, that's not true, but that was one of the worst officiated games I have watched all year.

So either you didn't watch the game, your blind or you just like to antagonize people on here.

[NavinRJohnson]

Yep, and? As stated earlier MU was outworked tonight. MU just didn't play very well, and ND did.

No.  I just know basketball and you apparently don't.

Seriously, it was an evenly called game with no serious misses that I recall.  Minor things here and there, but that's about it.

So tired of the "ref" excuse by people here.
