G, how did MU do that?

[tower912]

1.   Holy cow, MU played physical basketball and competed on the boards.   
2.  Maybe it isn't time to anoint Harry just yet.    Heldt played very well today.   Except that missed lay up. 
3.   Sacar filled a stat sheet today.   A shame he didn't work on free throws in his red shirt year. 
4.  Cain is playing the best of the newcomers.   He is so thin, you forget he is 6'7.   When he plays next to Sam, MU isn't so undersized.
5.  Markus is in some kind of slump.   A sophomore.   Hmmmm.   Not quite as bad as Haani and he is going to have to play through it, as there are no other options. 
6.   Rowsey is not in any kind of slump. 
7.  Theo really CAN get called for a foul for being in the area. 
8.  25 turnovers for Georgetown.   A bacon saver.   At least some of them can be attributed to (gasp) Marquette's defense.    And some were just careless.     
9.  The Big East is just plain ridiculous this year.   No nights off.   Hell, some might view MU as their night off.   
10.   So take it and run.

Wins a win.

Rowsey was siiiick

Hopefully Markus will be officially due for next game because we are gonna need it.

[tower912]

4 guys on the team who can shoot free throws.   5 who make you wince and look away when they are at the line.

If we play like this the rest of the season, this might be our only win.

Frustration, but critical time came when MU was up 15. Cain missed front end, then Hauser fouled on made three, then Rowsey turnover lead to a two.  Should have went 17, then no foul on the three.  Least they held on, but how Wojo puts up with that stuff is unknown.

MU missed a lot of layups and floaters.  A lot.

Still too many fouls and Markus has had three bad games in a row.  He'll come around, not in same category as Cheatham and his slump.

Take the win, Georgetown has no guards and it will be long, long season for them. 

Last, which coach teaches the ball screen.  Heldt and Theo are called for at least three a game.

You mean physical defense, competing on the boards, and forcing 25 turnovers?    Because I will take that every time.   Tonight, if even one other player had gotten hot offensively, (hello, Sam and Markus) MU wins by 20.     Georgetown's run because they blocked 3 layups, Matt missed a layup and Rowsey a wide open 3.    In other words, MU got the shots they wanted.   For a few minutes, they didn't fall.

Who should he put in?    Which is how he puts up with it. 

[NickelDimer]

Can't believe how upset some are with this performance.

Big difference between a slump (Markus) and not being very good at basketball (Haanif).

Marquette didn't force 25 turnovers.  Georgetown has poor guard play and many were due to their carelessness.

Guess put up with is wrong terminology.  Maybe how does he digest/deals with it.  Surprised he still has hair. 

[mileskishnish72]

Played down to our opponents, which is not unusual.
A win is a win is a win.

Georgetown was careless, no doubt.    But MU's defense was as good today as it has been in the last couple of years.   Good help, good rotations, fighting on the boards.   Rowsey caused a couple of turnovers by coming up quick on a G guard causing a travel.

In the last two minutes it seemed we did not run an offensive play. Rowsey just stood there dribbling and was lucky the shot made it before the shot clock ran out. You just don't stand there with just a 7 point lead. I don't think all 25 turnovers were forced. We are going to have to play much better than todays game.

[tower912]

Agreed.   The offense the last two minutes was to keep the ball in Rowsey's hands and hope they fouled him.  And yes, the Big East is a monster this year and MU is going to have to improve to compete.    This isn't news.

Marquette did not make a single 2-point shot in the 2nd half.

Has that ever happened for a team that eventually won the game?

Homer is researching..

Wow I would not have guessed that. They sure missed a lot they should have made

Holy crap.   Nothing but 3's and free throws?    Wow.    Lots of blocked and blown lay ups, but that is just crazy. 

[Goose]

Brutal to watch. Georgetown is horrible. Not much positives from this game, IMO. MU will need far better performances than today to post a BE winning record.

[MattyWarrior]

I see this team improving and playing hard, making some mistakes but the D is becoming better
The game had no flow in the first half and was hard to watch but I'll take it all day

[WarriorFan]

Come on people, we won!

[DCHoopster]

Georgetown is very athletic and long, hard to score on in the paint.  Might be the most athletic team in Big East but not very good.  Turnover machine, if they kept Tramon
Waters they might have been special.  DePaul is better and no pushover this year.  Butler surprised me today,  X was sleep walking today until they finally woke up.  The league is a beast.

11 steals for MU.    I think they have the blocked shots wrong for G-town.   I remember a lot more than 2.

Georgetown took Butler to double overtime, and should have won.  The same Butler team that destroyed Nova today. 

They aren't great, but they are also not bad.
