I never said Markus shouldn’t be the one taking the shot but dribbling the ball for 30 seconds then creating a shot isn’t offense and we’re much better than having to resort to that

This. Set a pick, create a mismatch for Markus. If they double him, I'll still take a wide open 3 by Sam or a slash to the basket by Sacar in that situation.

He definitely needs to rethink end of game. Markus is a great offensive player, but the last two games should clearly show what to do. The opponent knows it will be the Markus show, so it must be given the last shot to Sam. Markus will be double or triple teamed so give it up to Sam. He is the only other guy that can make that clutch shot, or get fouled and make the FTs.
You don't know basketball, last game the play was not for Markus but it ended up being for him because of his fumble. Today it was either Sacar or him no other offensive threats. Would you have Sacar handling the ball and getting foul? Nope!

I just was able to watch the game.  I don't think Joey has sit some sort of wall.  He scored 21 at Xavier, which was two weeks ago, and has played three games since then.  That's not all that demanding.

What I see defenses doing is rushing him.  Running him off the three point line and making him put the ball on the floor.  He hasn't developed that part of his game enough yet.  Sam has similar problems.

And I don't think Jay Wright is mocking Sacar at all.  I think he was annoyed at his defense.

No struggle at all. Great win and they beat program that I hope is the standard they are chasing. I cannot thing of a negative with the win, the game or the season. Not sure how my previous post indicated any negativity or struggle on my part.

There's ample film on Joey now and he's part of the defensive gameplan.  He needs to continue to work hard and develop.

The two whistles that bugged me were the calls on Brendan. One was a strip and the other straight up a phantom call.

I re-watched the game.

First half positives:

Markus Howard Scoring
General team defense
Limited mistakes

First half things to work on:
Joey Hauser struggled a lot in all phases all half, including the first 4 minutes.
Sam Hauser couldn’t guard Paschall. Many ppl can’t.

2nd half positives:
First 5 minutes, Sam and Sacar making plays on offense getting in the lane. Had Markus’ 3 gone in up 15 with building shaking (in and out) would have been 12 minute time out and trouble for VU. Instead Nova started getting scoring from ppl other than Paschall and Booth. 3 different players scored and their confidence skyrocketed rest of game.
Defensive rebounding limiting 2nd chances.

2nd half things to work on.....more mistakes with turnovers in a variety of ways. Markus can have his at times because of his elite scoring. Other guys can’t have that.  Sam still couldn’t guard Paschall. Would have liked to have seen more Bailey. Bailey misses his jumper and free throws long frequently, needs to get under the ball a little more for front rim.  Both Sam and Joey’s misses were very short, .....legs.

When Sam scored finally in 2nd half, Sacar went out of his way to encourage Sam’s confidence. Big 2nd half from Sacar.

Great win.  If Theo can pick and choose a little more when fouling to stay in game.....such a difference maker for lane drivers. Fouling both on a 30 foot 3 not ideal. 

Needed screen last offensive play with more space provided for Markus for more options.

Marquette doesn’t really have a wing defensive stopper. Limiting that as a team with team defense is important. 

It really helps Sam and Joey to get an earlier bucket to get going.

Respectfully disagree that defense wins championships. Balance will always win championships. And, balance can be achieved in a wide variety of ways.

While I think Joey may be hitting a bit of a wall (It has to be emotionally and physically draining at this point of the season). I think this is right on.  He is not getting as many open looks from deep and when he puts it on the floor he presses.  He is going to be amazing when he figures out how to slow down and not rush it as he moves into the paint. He already has the ability to get his own shot he just pushes a bit too hard. 

I am not sure about Sam having similar problems. Sam does this well. Once in a while he forces a bad one that he should kick back out but for the most part I think he has always been a patient player when run off the arc.

IMHO, that missed 3 was the difference between a comfortable win and a nail-biter. Not that Nova would have given up - they still would have made a run or two - but the miss and Nova's quick 3s swung the momentum in a heartbeat. Eighteen points and momentum is awfully tough to overcome, even for a team like Nova.

Markus and Sam each had a clean look from 3 on the two possessions prior to the Markus iso TO.  At least one of those typically goes in, which also would have changed the game and probably forced Nova to start fouling MU.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

`Nova is a great team and program but the best team won today period. Our bench stepped up, Marcus was Marcus and Sacar was the difference. I am not concerned about the Hausers. They will be there.

It blows my mind that, to this day, you call him MarCus.

Yes, that would have been the nail in the coffin if Markus would have made that three.

I also thought that Theo's reaction after blocking Paschall's shot, (standing almost over / looking down on him on the floor), may have actually fired Nova up during their second half run. I love this enthusiasm and his role as a rim protector, but he needs to be careful in crucial situations as these days, it does not seem to take a whole lot to be assessed a technical foul.

I couldn’t believe he wasn’t T’d up for his fifth there.

Ok, fair enough. I agree on this. Markus needs to stop cross dribble right in front of the defender.

I thought for the most part, Sam defended him really well. I remember at least three off balance shots where all I could think was "damn that was a tough shot."

A lot of times, refs know they made a bad call, and will give the player a ton of rope in those situations.
