Can't wait for Rowsey to be gone

[GoldenZebra]

Wow. Really.

[Dr. Blackheart]

When Sandy trash talks, our stars respond.

[real chili 83]

They say on TV he's running the offense?  Stupid, forced shots without passing and working for a good shot is not running an offense.  Then a dumb bump for a foul on offense.  Ugh!!!

Hmmmm

Lots of people have shared the same sentiment about Rowsey's frustrating style of play, but when it comes down to it, he's an asset to this team. His pull up 3's and hero ball can make even his biggest fan pull their hair out at times, no doubt, but he's a fun kid to watch. He brings a competitive edge that I don't think anyone else has, and that makes a big difference for us as a team.

When he's hitting hero shots he's a blast to watch. A player like Rowsey has the green light always

Wojo: "We're a better team when [Rowsey's] a passer.  It just opens everything up."

Agree i love his toughness

[tower912]

I want Jersey to come back and defend it.

In my opinion same for Howard.  It is a team of five on the floor.

Hello?  You really didn't notice him running the offense with 10 assists and 3 TOs in 43 minutes?

[skianth16]

No need. We all get the frustration. Most seem to understand the net positive impact too, though. I'm sure jersey's tune has changed after that OT performance,

He only had 3 turnovers. And 10 assists! Wow. Tough crowd.

Agreed! And if that is your criteria, in two years he has turned the ball over 140 times. Dwyane Wade had 203 turnovers in two years and he AVERAGED more than 3 turnovers a game. When you need to make things happen you are going to have turnovers. I agree some of his shots were bad, but our guys couldn't seem to catch a pass during the first half. Don't get me wrong, Sam Hauser is our best player as I wrote this morning and his 7 of 8 on three-pointers takes him to 54.4 percent in Big East play.

But we would have lost more games without Rowsey on the floor.  Also, he had a ton of people up from Lexington, Virginia and elsewhere in Virginia provide a great cheering boost and we were behind the bench and heard down the stretch. Maybe he forced it a bit with the nice home crowd on the road, but in the end he brought through the win.

I hope he has a great sendoff as the only senior vs Creighton.

Probably the worst player in the history of Marquette basketball. Points and assists ... so overrated.

And what's with that hair!

If I were Wojo, I wouldn't even wait for next year. I'd just cut him now.

Wait ... that's not good enough. Banish him from campus.

No ... still not enough. Make him have lunch with guru on a "cranky guru day."

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Lol
Guru was being annass on the game thread and said Sam should be pkaying more minutes.  He ppayed at least 41-42 minutes tonite.  He also said wojo is stupid for subbing in Freshman.  🤪🧐🤯

[The Thing]

He did take a couple of long 2s that had me yelling at the TV. Overall, you take the large amount of good with the occasional really bad.

Some Scoopers say silly things.

Why, there was one guy who kept insisting that Luke Fischer was a horrible player who wasn't even worthy of wearing a Marquette uniform. Can you imagine?!?!?

Never said that.  Said with all the offensive firepower we had that Heldt was a better fit at the 5 due to his defensive abilities.  Low and behold Wojo made the move near the end of the season and the teams fortunes changed as we rallied for spme big wins and an NCAA birth

Ah, so that was some other guy mercilessly ripping on Luke. My bad.

[moneymac]

Rowsey is easily the most entertaining player on this team. Sure, he takes some bad shots and forces things, but you cant deny we play so much better when he's playing well and getting others involved. The heart and fire he plays with will be sorely missed next year. He's always the one to bring us out of large slumps like tonight when GT went on a 21-3 run.

Second, I'm so sick of people acting like Markus Howard is less of a problem than Rowsey. He is the biggest ball hog, shot happy player on this team. I can't stand watching him play hero ball. This team needs either a grad transfer or Greg Ellliott to play PG next year or we're not going far. I love him to death, but he plays a very selfish style of basketball that benefits him, but won't translate into team success. The guy's hashtag on social media is #LeagueME for christ sake.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Did i rip on luke as a horrible defender and a wholly overated offensive player when offense from the 5 was the least of our concerns? Yessir!

Don't disagree with a lot of this, but LeagueMe is a basketball training company run by his older brother.

He is too selfish right now but he can improve as a PG the same way that Rowsey has

Hahaha my bad. I just thought that was his "brand" or something. Can't hold supporting his bro against him

[94Warrior]

Tonight was not the night to rip on Rowsey.

But, I'll say this,
Andrew is a very hot and cold player.  He has been both frustrating and explosive. 
He has won games for us and he has lost games for us.

Great shooter (can be streaky).
Can be a good passer (not often enough).

Horrible defender (all of the time).
Poor shot selection (too often).
Loose handle (not what we envision a point guard to be).

Instead of leading by example in a game MU could not afford to lose, he absolutely set the tone for the DePaul game with his 2 fouls in the first 90 seconds.  (Not what you expect from a 5th year Senior.) 

Tonight, the pluses outweighed the minuses.  On other nights, they have not.  Hoping we can find an adequate replacement!
