Froling?

[silverback]

I'm tuning in from overseas. I hear from those in attendance Froling isn't even in the building. Coach's decision?

Any news?

[jesmu84]

He's on the bench

[silverback]

OK. Thanks.

[goldeneagle91114]

Is he hurt, sick, or in the dog house?

Sucks?

[Eye]

Bad matchup. SJU much more athletic up front.

[barfolomew]

Sucks?

Yes, it sucks that he's sick, hurt, or in the dog house.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Has played himself to the back of the rotation. Didn't need frontcourt depth tonight.

[Dish]

Is curious that he went from starting a few weeks ago to the following:

@SJU   11 mins
@ Creighton  6 mins
SJU  DNP-CD

It's almost a two week stretch in real time, if he was hurt I'd guess we'd have heard by now.

I agree TAMU

This.  And nothing more. 

Mentioned this before the game - Needed to see a lot of Elliott, Cain, and Theo. Some Matt.  No Harry.  Harry needs another year of strength and conditioning work to become serviceable.

[Marqevans]

Needed Theo John when we played the Johnnies at home.Seemed like he only played about 15 minutes, but having a tough body in there made a difference.

This.  I actually give Wojo credit.  Froling is too slow defensively as evidenced the first time we played them.  Late in the year, best to shorten the bench and play those most likely to help you win

Some Matt? 10 rebound, 30 minute Matt? Geez, the poor guy can't even get any respect when he has a decent game.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Good games by matt n harry, the only thing that still dumbfounds me is how Wojo saw Froling as a starter??!!!

[Floorslapper]

Ha.  That was pregame hope for this game.  Personally I would have preferred Theo to play more than 11 - say 22, and Matt around 19.  But, Matt works hard and earns minutes as he is pretty solid defensively.

Matt also has one of the strangest stats of the season: after dropping in a pair tonight, he's 24-27 (89%) from the line.

Hes alot better than most people give him credit for.  Hes is not  an offensive juggernaut but does a lot of things very well

I leaned over to my wife tonight and started to say "Matt is one of the best free throw shooting big men I've seen at Marquette in a long time"...

...then I remembered Davante

[Herman Cain]

For his own development, I am glad Harry didn't play tonight. The Johnnies are simply too athletic for him to compete well against. Harry has some strengths in that he has a good nose for rebounds and some decent inside passing vision. There will be other games where he will be more effective.  My general assessment is that he will do very well against the cupcakes, but be challenged by the more athletic teams in conference.  He was a very enthusiastic supporter of his teammates, so glad he is on the team.  Harry will have a couple of positive moments between now and the end of the season in the right situations for him to compete .

[WarriorDad]

He'll be back, give him some time.  He will make some big contributions for this program.   It is like those that say we are better without Rowsey, or better without Howard (who is still 18 friggin years old).   This team is going to be a blast to watch next year.  An absolute blast.

[MUMountin]

I wish he had red shirted the entire year, so he could have saved a year of eligibility and started fresh next fall as a RS Soph.  Too slow and too far behind at this point of the season.

Untill davantes senior year?

[AZMarqfan]

Froling will be fine, but he has looked clueless during conference play.  He really should have been redshirted  to begin next year with pre-league games to get acclimated.  However, in December there was nothing to indicate Theo John would come on this strong.  He had some of the best post moves I've seen at MU in a while.

Davante was never this good. His season best FT% was 83.5%. Very good, elite for a big man. But Matt would school him in a free throw shooting contest.

Untill davantes senior year?

Actually his senior year was his second best. 78.1% is good for any player. Great for a big man.
