fools gold for 30 min ?

[forgetful]

Wojo needs to do a better job in the second half of games. Terrible coaching. They are just stepping in to open threes.

It is always easier for the team that got drilled in the first half to come out strong.  There are clear things they need to adjust to and they can game plan for it.

The team that is up, basically can only say lets keep it up, which plays into the 2nd half game plan of Xavier.

You can see the fatigue - our guys don't have their hands up like in the first half.

Again, that's on coaching. You would have thought they would have learned their lesson against DePaul and even creighton. Guess wojo is all talk. Maybe he will at least admit he should have played JJJ for a few min.

I don't remember us playing the 1-3-1 trapping yet this half that got us so many steals in the first half.  Maybe we switch now?

[LloydsLegs]

We win this if 1) we feed Luke or 2) Carlino and/or Duane blow it up from 3. Must score in half court- not getting transition take-aways.

[rocky_warrior]

get JJJ in for Taylor, he has no recognition on the  zone, too slow

Agreed.  I donno what JJJ did to get him a DNP, but hopefully he's learned his lesson and will be back for the next game.

Well maybe not jacking up shots 5 seconds into the shot clock would help with that......

Keep playing zone It ms great when they get wide open 3's

The points off MU senior turnovers in transition has set X off in the 2nd.

You're out of your mind.

Need to switch to man.  They have adjusted to our zone.

That and they're making the shots over it.

Burr is a dirtbag

[brewcity77]

How was that not a foul?!?!? Duane literally thrown to the ground after the turnover. Just dirty.

[geagles10]

so frustrating, but I bet we all saw it coming

[Coleman]

Just not creating turnovers like we did in the first half. That's what it comes down to

One word answer; BURR/DIRTBAG

[GooooMarquette]

Finally get the ball to Luke and he misses a layup.

[PGsHeroes32]

I hate how these meltdowns are so predictable.

Get your hopes up then crush then.

Wish they woulda just got the doors blown off like I expected

"Just shoot it Matt offense"

[LloydsLegs]

Kid is nails

[T.V. Diener 34]

I'll never say anything bad about Carlino ever again... I promise

[muhoops1]

If our games were only 20 minutes long we'd only have 1 loss this year!

[AirPunches]

2 tough shots. Need the stop here.
