Need gaston to get his 3rd early.

Jjj will play second half I think. Hopefully come in for atleast 5 and show control.

[skianth16]

What was that double tech about? Didn't look like much from the stands.

[nyg]

I'm sorry, but why isn't Luke playing?  In last three possessions, Xavier went to Jones twice and Gaston.  Jones scored 4 and Gaston had a basket and foul. All against Heldt and that's 7 points.  Gaston was playing with two fouls and Heldt no where near the offensive player Luke is. 

No clue why he played like five minutes, but least MU has sort of big lead. 

My bad, just saw Luke had two fouls.  Hey, Heldt had 6 points and 7 rebounds, very good hustle also.  Might have been abused at end, but good job.

Hot start notwithstanding, we're gonna need JJJ down the stretch. I hope he gets some minutes to correct whatever put him on the bench.

Marquette 42, Xavier, half. 47.1% eFG% for #mubb, 42.9% for X. MU has not won a game this yr shooting less than 52.5% eFG% (0-8).

turnovers and rebounds will probably trend unfavorably for us in the 2nd. Need to shoot better.

[GoldenZebra]

All these bad 3s...MU going back to relying on it.

Matt with 3 fouls.

Wojo is sending a HELL of a message.

Luke will play more second half. Jjj will also see floor time im sure.

Why will need JJJ?

[fjm]

Ps. HELDT: 6 points,7 rebounds.

I did not expect that at all.

See my modify answer.  Luke had two fouls, so he'll play more.  JJJ, oh boy........

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Why will need JJJ?

For the 1 on 3 drive into the pines for a turnover?

[skianth16]

Ps. HELDT: 6 points,7 rebounds.

Heldt actually looked pretty good until the last few minutes. Easily his best half of the season.

[mileskishnish72]

Big leads scare me this year.

[Jay Bee]

#mubb shooting just 26.3% from 3-point range tonight. They've been worse in one game all season (their last game - at Georgetown).

[nyg]

MU 5 for 19 from three.

Hauser and Wilson scoreless and KR has one three.  They are 1 for 10 combined.   

Need to do bit better there.  Those two Cheatham turnovers on fast breaks really hurt also.

12 point lead with depleted team, just control Gaston who hardly played, but has 8 points and 8 rebounds. 

And thats a bad start........

[rocket surgeon]

where the hell was the foul on the dunk??? 

[Herman Cain]

Matt with 3 fouls.

JJJ dog house whole game . Must have had a bad week in practice.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

I appreciate Chris Mack wearing a Marquette valour blue shirt, in honor of National Marquette day.

[nyg]

And Luke picks up another foul 25 feet from basket.  My goodness......

[DJO's Jaw]

Pretty concerned about the foul situation. At this rate, we'll be playing 5+ minutes without a center...

[nyg]

Up 16, then MU holds Xavier scoreless, yet MU has not scored in last six possessions. 

Now Luke and Hedlt with four fouls each.  This could get interesting. 

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Must learn to put the nail in the coffin a al Nova

[PGsHeroes32]

Really need to ice it here

[nyg]

Cheatham turnover (again)
Rowsey wide open miss, like 0 for last 8
KR wide open miss
Hauser miss

Then the Howard show continues.  If not for him, this would be close game. 

Nice game Heldt.....

[PGsHeroes32]

Wait wtf happened lol

Turn channel quick and Gaston is tossed?

Let's go!!
