Seriously though, what do people see in dekker?

Weakside rebounds killed us

Carlino 18.   Everybody else 20.   

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Here's an analysis. Our senior PG is terrible and bogs down our offense considerably. 0-5 on field goal attempts and every one of them was a drive to the hoop. Just brutal

Kind of sounds like Duane Wilson. 1-9 from the field. 1-7 on drives to the hoop.

Or JJJ. 0-4 from the field. At least on ill advsed three over Kaminsky (didn't see the other one) and two wild drives.

Point is, there is plenty of blame to go around. Not just for your favorite whipping boy.

Sheesh... The Wilsons had a rough day.

Duane also had the best defensive player in big 10 face guarding him all game and nobody was guarding Derrick but let's just not pay attention to that.

I think this was Teves best game of the season.

[tower912]

Carline, Deonte, Cohen 8-13.    Everybody else, 5-32.   Nobody is putting this one on a highlight reel.   Learn your lessons, move on, hope that Luke is good.

If this team(and incoming recruits) continues to fight the way the team currently is. We are going to be mother effing deadly when the experience and talent catch up to the heart.

If the team keeps improving throughout the year I am not ruling out a nice garden showing

Are you kidding me?  Based on what?

JaJuan Johnson sucks, period.  He's good in the open court, horrid in the halfcourt.

I agree. Plenty of blame to go around. These two players are not our senior pg though. He showed absolutely nothing today and might as well not even suited up.

In order to beat a team like Wisconsin when you're a team like Marquette, you have to play perfectly. No mistakes. None, zippo.

We turned the ball over too many times. It wasn't awful but just wasn't good enough to beat Wisconsin. Our defense was good but not great enough to beat a Top 10 team (I think they are overrated at 2).

I'm encouraged and think this bath of fire will help us come conference time. Based on what I saw today and have seen, our best outcome for 2014-2015 is to be the last team in the NCAA. There is something I like about these guys. I think they're tough and they don't quit.

Both are an improvement over last year.

[LAZER]

I'd like to see Cohen get some more minutes

[chapman]

Are you kidding me?  Based on what?

Twice as many defensive rebounds as last game!  2-1

Even with the chance to spend time out of the 5 spot, don't see how his minutes aren't cut significantly with Fischer entering the rotation.

[HutchwasClutch]

Duane Wilson had a really poor game today.  That will happen, he's a redshirt freshman just underway in his career.  He'll bounce back.

But other than him, we have zero firepower beyond Carlino right now.  Steve Taylor except for OSU game has been a big disappointment so far.  I know he's playing out of position, but he should be producing more than he is offesnively.  

I didn't expect to win today, but the lack of firepower on this team is striking.

[tower912]

JaJuan Johnson sucks, period.  He's good in the open court, horrid in the halfcourt. 

JJJ is clearly not where he wants to be, or where Wojo wants him to be.   Yet.   Too early to throw him under the bus.  

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Are you kidding me?  Based on what?

His interior defense today was great.

[HutchwasClutch]

I'd like to see Cohen get some more minutes

Absolutely, and take minutes away from JaJuan who can't play.

[VegasWarrior77]

10.  NJIT beat Michigan.

11. U. of S. Carolina Upstate beat Georgia Tech 59-54

Wow, how dare you criticize one of our players.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

?

Nothing in your post is true. Neither Gasser nor Jackson are the best defensive players in the B1G and Derrick was being face guarded.

[HutchwasClutch]

JJJ is clearly not where he wants to be, or where Wojo wants him to be.   Yet.   Too early to throw him under the bus.  

At what point do we just be honest and admit he can't play?  Since UT-Martin, the guy's barely been noticeable except for bricking shots offensively.  This on a nine player team, and following a disappointing freshman season.  

[tower912]

But other than him, we have zero firepower beyond Carlino right now.

Zero CONSISTENT firepower.   Going into the season, this was one of the givens.   There have been flashes, but this is still a young, inexperienced, short team.   Nothing has changed.   There have already been highs, but to expect it all to gel and be consistent by now is unreasonable.
