I didn't know Val Ackerman was an old Harley dude

Geez Val, comb your hair.

So Micura's not a one trick pony, eh?  Got a handle.

Luke has missed several point blank opportunities this half.  Missed shots, travels....

Macura.

Yes, he can put it on the floor. All around guy - pass, drive, shoot from deep.. whatever you need.  Good size at 6'5".

This is not how coaches think.  Wojo will coach to win THIS game.  If he would sit Juan and give his minutes to Sandy, what message does that send to the rest of the team? That we're giving up on this season?  I think a message of quitting has a much more detrimental effect to the program long-term than throwing Sandy a few extra minutes. With 8 guys (7 tonight) he's still going to get plenty of minutes to gain experience.

I prefer the message Wojo is sending by playing to win now, it says that as long as he's at Marquette they are going to fight tooth and nail every single night.

Anyone that has observed these two players body of work knows that the gap in their levels of contribution (if any) is minimal. Certainly not enough of one that anyone would perceive it as "quitting."

That was a nice finish!

[Texas Western]

JJJ nice court awareness and transition basket with high degree of difficulty (1 on 4)

[JTBMU7]

i am not confident that we will score 40 pts in this game.

In the last 19 minutes, MU had 2 points in second half(after 7 minutes) and made a total of 4 field goals. 4 field goals in 19 minutes. That is brutal.

Looks like the MU PR machine got to the announcers about JJJ and Juan

[GooooMarquette]

Juan playing a complete game.

Without Carlino, it would be tough to argue if someone said this is the least dangerous offense in Division I.

Xavier freshmen kicking our ass

[PGsHeroes32]

Ners has polluted this board so much that every time JaJuan turns it over, I take a mental note that I can use as ammo in the JJJ/Derrick arguments.

What do you do when Derrick goes on his 5 minute bender of JV girls bball?

Sorry but you all are just as bad as ners. It's amazing these debates still go on. And pathetic you wait around for fuel.

Must have.  That's how it works, you know!

[mileskishnish72]

Major suckage.

[Nevada233]

Never heard of JP Macura but the kid can pass, shoot, dribble and defend.. Sheesh, He's "The Goods"

[Texas Western]

JP Macura is quite a talent.

[Shark]

Derrick wouldn't start on UWM
