Ok--let him play the game by himself. You obviously support throwing it up from 25 while others are in the game.

Good lord Willie

[PGsHeroes32]

Just can't believe he missed that.

[LloydsLegs]

Down 3 w 15.7 to go.  Doable.

[CTWarrior]

No way Carlino gets an open look here.  Look elsewhere.

[PGsHeroes32]

Derrick couldn't even get him the ball. Unreal

[LloydsLegs]

Dow n 3 w them on the line w 3.4 left.  Not so much.  

[Dr. Blackheart]

And why not sub in Sandy as another shooter.

[brewcity77]

Derrick was wide open in the corner. Wish he'd given that up. Oh well, just not enough depth, especially with the foul trouble and the refs letting so much go.

[willie warrior]

Great one on three shot there by Carlino. Two of our guys were open on that one. But hey that's OK because it is not a team game, ain'a

...gone.

Marquette simply needs to play in the last half of the 2nd half. four big east games, four awful last 10 minutes.

[Niv Berkowitz]

Everyone can get mad but.... 7 guys, on the road and foul trouble. That's tough.

[DUNKS45]

brutal finish,

What would be your ideal last possession there then?

You're an idiot. Put on ignore.

EVERYONE knew we were going to Carlino there.  Likelihood of a good shot slim to none.  I think we could have gotten Cohen an open look.  He probably wouldn't have made it, but a better chance than Carlino in that spot. I think.

I would have ran it for him.  Everyone looking at Carlino, get it to Sandy on some switches.  Have Derrick dribble handoff to Sandy...he dribble handoffs to Carlino.  The switch would leave Sandy wide open.

I'd take my chances there.

Interesting final possession. Oh well - good game.

I'll take my chances with a contested Carlino three over a wide open Derrick Wilson...

[Johnny B]

Another game pissed away. Horrible 3 pt defense. Luke missing that was a disgrace.

[willie warrior]

Per Kevin O'Neil: Marquette tried to go loosey goosey with the 3 by Carlino--you live by the 3 and die by the 3.

[forgetful]

In the end, too many TOs (18).  Duane needs to hit open 3's (1-6) and Luke needs to be stronger in the paint.  Stainbrook is a load, he'll get there.

Depth. Simple as that. We just run out of gas. I'm actually impressed we didn't fold when they took the lead.

What do you think is the root cause for that trend ?

I would agree of course but Sandy was sitting on the bench!
