Chicago State Game Thread

[Jockey]

Wow. This defense is worse than bad.

[tower912]

Cain, Elliott, Anim, and Sam do a decent job staying in front of their man in space.   Markus and Howard  do not.   

[PGsHeroes32]

Haven't watched yet

But 40 pts to Chicago state???

Yikes

[MarquetteDano]

The more I watch, the more I think that Rowsey, and to a slightly lesser degree Howard, are the primary problems for Marquette's defense.   Neither can keep their man in front of them, the help and rotations start and the defense breaks down.

Both poor defenders.  Sometimes I wonder if we would be better suited with a turnover driven defense.  We cant stop dribble penetration,  low post,  offensive rebounds,  nor are we good a perimeter defense.  Maybe we could cause some havoc and get some turnovers?

Our turnover rate defense in the first half was 12.9%.  Not good among other poor defensive stats.

On the bright side, after watching 4 minutes of the Duke Indiana game, the number 1 team in the nation is playing the same level of defense MU is playing right now

[tower912]

Wojo and K..... defensive geniuses

[Herman Cain]

Bardo is my favorite announcer.

[Bo Ryan's Massage Therapist]

I love Theo but man is he a foul machine.  I had heard he fouled out of every High school game it was supposedly due to him being so much bigger than the other players.  I think its largely due to defensive technique. I'm sure wojo and company will teach him the art of the good D without fouling.

At some point you just have to embrace the terrible D. Either with full court pressure or...anything diff.

Or something like Beilein's (sp?) defense which created turnovers in the half-court by jumping passing lanes.

[Johnny B]

Should be up 25 on these clowns

[fjm]

Just saying.

FRONT COURT: all voted Burrito

BACK COURT: all voted Taco...

[MUEng92]

I’ve heard they don’t matter but still, I’m now used to seeing Rowsey, Howard and Hauser shoot free throws, so I am startled when an MU player misses a free throw.

Markus and Howard!?!

Primarily rowsey cannot stop initial penetration, howard has gotten better.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Elliott better than haanif, its official.

[chapman]

Elliott can do that too?  I thought he was fun to watch before that.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

How about the defense on the possesion before?, hes tuffing the stat sheet again tonight, probable double double n a bunch of everything else

[Lighthouse 84]

Cain and Elliott are going to be good. Lots of activity and hops from both.

Speaking of Hops, what’s everyone drinking?  Zombie Dust here.

[Class71]

Our defensive issues are more than just one run and gun shooter.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Delgado is going to have 86 rebounds.  In the first half.

Dayquil.  2nd F'n cold this month.  First cold lasted 10 days, got healthy for 4 days, now on day 4 of this cold.  Got a sixer variety pack in the fridge mocking me.

[djvern414]

Will be impressive with 80% efg

[LoudMouth]

Elliott better than haanif, its official.

I wouldn't go with that just quite yet. But probably by the end of the year and definitely higher potential for years to come

[Lighthouse 84]

I think GE can go left or right ...that’s a start!

M2N is shooting prettay, prettay, pretty good..
