Trying to Stay Optimistic

[MU82]

You know what, tower and Goose ... I'm gonna try to refrain from sarcastic, should-be-teal posts for a week and see how that goes.

I can do it!

(I think.)

Love MU82  Don't drink the angry kool aid,  82.

Ditto!  But us Nutmeggers have a habit of sticking together.

Marquette is a top 10 team in the country in free-throw percentage. Getting in the bonus early will help the offense rack up some easy points. Attacking the hoop under control will lead to fouls.


Maybe worth a shot to try a larger guard posting up

FT's no matta (doing JB's work)

But again, if we're not happy with Wojo, why would we hire the guy under him?

I have consistently said Wojo has been a good recruiter and Stan falls into the good deeds of Wojo bucket.

1.  I don't subscribe the sins of the parents to their kids so to speak.
2. Stan is a great motivator
3. Stanhas the relationships with the recruits.
4. Stan has more swag and style which will get us some great media coverage.

I am bullish on Stan.

We have a bunch of really good outside shooters (Rowsey, Markus, Hauser, Rhinehardt) who are also great FT shooters. Driving the basketball is not their strength.

Markus can drive to the hoop, hopefully this off season Hauser and Rowsey work on finishing they would be threats if they could take people off the dribble and shoot

Markus can get there, but unless he has a mismatch, he usually shouldn't. Too often he runs into the trees when he drives and his shots get swatted or swallowed up. Maybe he can become a better driver, and he does sometimes get that nice floater going, but as Lennys noted, it's not a strength.

The killer is that the two guys we have who are best at driving, JJ and Cheatham, are so painfully one-handed that it makes their drives easier to defend.

True, but i think you meant a smarter driver like know when to drive instead of better driver

Completely agree that MU has more shooters than slashers, but if the outside shot isn't falling then sometimes getting to the free throw line and making a couple Fts can help a pure shooter find their shot mid-game.
