Questions answered, K-State version

[tower912]

1.  Can Wojo coach defense/was it scheme or personnel?     He can and it was personnel.
2.  Does home court matter? Yes.   Just like MU at IU, K-state had not gone on the road yet.   KSU looked like MU at Assembly Hall.  It happens and is not unique to MU.   Understand the rhythms and patterns. 
3.  Will Anim ever do anything?   Yes.   
4.   When will Markus break loose?   Today.  45  Holy Crap.  Fun to see him get a little cocky as guys fouled out.   
5.  Can Marquette compete against good teams?   Apparently
6.  Was it too early to give up on this team after IU and Kansas?   Just a little. 
7.   Does MU still turn the ball over too much?    Way too much.   As epidemic as the flu going through the team. 
8.  Will the Fiserv Forum be noisy?    Yes. 
9.  Will MU ever get friendly officiating?   Yes.  Today.     But honestly, those guys were just amazingly bad.    The foul on Sam followed by the T was particularly egregious.    But that is the state of college officiating.   Bad bad bad.     
10.  Should Chartouny ever shoot another 3?   Maybe not. 
11.  Is Theo John a badddddd man?    Hell to the yeah. 
12.  Does depth matter?   It all works out.   
13.  Are there still going to be complainers?    This is scoop.   Some guys here would complain about a threesome with supermodels.  A great win.

Louisville and K-state.  Both physical defensive teams.  We won both games by being tougher and playing better D than them.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

As long as K State isn't a pretender, this win should go a long way towards our March resume. Ugly game, but great win. Markus was unbelievable.

[NickelDimer]

This team can scrap. This team can play when it's ugly. This team can defend. This is a different Wojo team.

[DUNKS45]

Fantastic D today and the worst ref crew I've seen so far. Big win.

Believe me, it's not that good.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

Believe me, it's not that good.

I mean, *only* a threesome?  Pfftttt.

My cable picked sh!tty day to go out.  Radio only today.

Howard's points were all seemingly in the flow of the offense, can only recall one hero ball. For 45 points, that's pretty awesome.

Oddest officiated game I've ever seen, those guys were screwy, something weird going on.

This team can scrap. This team can play when it's ugly. This team can defend. This is a different Wojo team.

Felt this was the most encouraging aspect of this game.  Defense definitely is MUCH better. 

The rest of the game, hard to assess.  Markus took 21 FTs.  Officiating was brutal.  Affected K State more due to early foul trouble and less depth. 

Great win to get and helps offset Indiana loss.

[WarriorFan]

Nice win.   I don't see K State in the top 25 at the end of the season, so 12 is overrated, but still a very nice win.   Sacar was aggressive, Markus was amazing and young Joey played some great D on Wade.

[MU_83_florida]

Nice to see some defense

[Mutaman]

All I've ever asked is that this team play hard, and boy do they do that! plus, there are some men on this club.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Multiple people on the K State board wishing Markus to have a season ending injury after he waved to the K State player that got fouled out, yikes

[Class71]

Great, great win! Sure we need to address turnovers but KSU also has a great defense. I could not be prouder of the toughness of this team.

Marcus put on a great show. Sacar showed others can drive and score besides Marcus. Bench played tough. Loved the game.

Congrats to all!

Sounds about right

[We R Final Four]

-Loved watching Morrow play big underneath without fouling(much).
-MH was great.
-Cain played as much as Cam.
-I think Wojo should have sat Theo with 8 min left when he picked up his 4th.
-refs were unreal.

[nyg]

Foul and turnover festival.  Still don't know rules on setting screens, some of them were ridiculous.

Great to have Theo, Ed and Matt playing the center role.  But Theo and Ed must cut down on fouling abit, both had four apiece again.  Haven't had this position option in years.

Joey played really good defense on Wade in first half.

Sacar with awesome game also.  Missed free throws and wish he would have made that dunk, crowd was going nuts.  Good quality minutes for him, made up for off day from Sam. 

Markus with 19 for 21 from free throws.  Crazy good.

Poor Jamal, played as much as a walk on.

Yesterday this was the worst Marquette team ever. Today it is the best. I will stand by those opinions until tomorrow.

I was talking with some friends while watching the game from our respective homes, and we started to wonder if there's anything to make of that or was BB doing well enough for Wojo to not want to move away from him?

[dgies9156]

It's about time.

Keep it up guys. There's a rodent in your headlights longing to be road kill.

I wouldn't look into it too much. Playing a strong physical team.  Bailey is just stronger at this point, and was doing well.  No need to mess with happy.

[Markusquette]

The Bailey putback and dunk on the following play was great to see. Not only to quell a comeback but for his confidence.

[GGGG]

Glad to see some offense going to the hoop.  Sacar really played well.  Markus is unreal.

If that's what the NCAA wants in terms of calls, no one is going to watch the games.  Both technicals were complete BS.  Way too many whistles. 

[Herman Cain]

Great team win today. Kudos to the coaching staff.

Worst part was both calls were bad and the ref compounded them with even worse T's. What an ass
