Nova thoughts

[tower912]

1.  That first half comeback was the most impressive basketball MU has played all year.
2.  To finish it, Duane had to go off.  He was just off.  Ah, well.
3.  In the end, villanova is a top 10 team, playing in their little gym that they never lose in.  No complaints.
4.  On to Xavier.

This sucks, I hate losing to these guys. Way to many 3's and guards standing around on offense.

[PGsHeroes32]

Bummer that this second half was extremely predictable.

But the 1st half was great

[rocky_warrior]

I feel like my stream is 30 min behind.  WTF

Jeff Anderson has something against MU/Wojo.

[Warrior1]

By far the worst stretch I have seen. We launch double digit there's, make none, and then score on multiple back to back possessions just by walking it in.

We're huge. Use our size! Come on guys!

[T-Bone]

Aint over yet

[Tugg Speedman]

Will you post more thoughts when the game is over?

[Warrior1]

What is up with The Jeff Anderson jog up the court? He does an almost dance up the court on some possessions.

Is that really just to draw more attention?

[tower912]

It was over.  The only question is the margin and whether MU covers.

5. Really could've used JJJ tonight.  For his sake I hope he's better soon.
6. A lot of mistakes......can't wait until they are sophomores

Good effort, lots of positives

[CountryRoads]

Just couldn't make open shots mid way through the second half. Got good looks and if they fell it would have been a different ball game. I like this MU team. They have some swagger to them. Should be a fun one Saturday.

5. Why are we sitting Fisher when Ochefu is out!?
6. Why are we throwing up threes while Ochefu is out!?

Other random thoughts

-  Those turnovers, after good steals in the press, are soul crushing. 
-  It's been about 4 seasons since Marquette has had a good outside shooter.
-  Can't believe Villanova is about to cover the spread.

Agree, that comeback was impressive in first half.  Gives them some sort of confidence in future that they can do it.  Then another 10-0 run in second half, but way too late.  Had opportunities to cut lead even more, but turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. 

Terrible coaching in second half.  with Ochefu in foul trouble and then hurt, MU continued to jack up threes, at one point 0 for 11.  Nova had a 6ft6 and 6ft7 guys in and MU still shooting threes and not going inside to Henry/Luke.  TV commentators kept saying the same thing.  Don't get it, especially with MU's poor percentage.

Fouls early in half caught up with them, this team has to cut down on turnovers somehow.  They lead BE and probably up there in Division I rankings also.  Just killing them.

Xavier going to be hard to beat with Farr/Reynolds inside, but maybe MU will change up its gameplan. 

Henry is 4 for 18 from three in BE play now.  22%.

and Eddie Corbett will not win this one

+1000

Why we went away from inside I can't  fathom epecially with the big guy hurting

[tower912]

Marquette gets 3 happy. 

[jesmu84]

Thought Nova really adjusted in the second half to prevent the inside play of MU. Make those very open outside shots and this is a different ballgame. TOs and missed shots in the 2nd caused the loss.

Get ready for X

Terrible coaching in second half.

Jay Wright ran circles around Woj in the 2nd half. Another 1 half game.

[MattyWarrior]

Villanova cruises to victory,Jay said his guys let up on the gas.

Jeff Anderson has something against MU/Wojo.

He's a POS. Awful referee.

[Class71]

I also question the 3's in the second half but then again the foul problems were a real issue. Not sure freshman can drive much with 4 fouls.

No inside play whatsoever in second half.  I believe Henry had 2 points and 1 rebound.  That is brutal.
