DePaul won today. We lost. DePaul is better than us

[Herman Cain]

Much needed win for DePaul

[BM1090]

Good results for Marquette not playing on Wednesday in NYC

[Johnny B]

Much needed win for DePaul

Much needed for what? Team morale? For dave to keep his job? DePaul is the quintessential train wreck of the season in the entire country

[DFW HOYA]

Good results for Marquette not playing on Wednesday in NYC

Georgetown has taken up semi-permanent residence in the Wednesday bracket. This will be its fourth Wednesday appearance in the last five years and five of the last seven.

The only school with more? DePaul.

MU wants its potential road win over DePaul to stay  Q1

[JWags85]

Markus needs to be better and Marquette as well, but holy hell is Powell playing like garbage down the stretch. Just flipped on SH rolling a bad SJU team, but Powell is 1-8, 0-5 from 3, and just heaved up a contested brick from 4 feet behind the line with 20 left on the clock.

[Herman Cain]

The Hall comfortably up over The Johnnies 36-22 Halftime. Decent crowd engaged in the game.

[BM1090]

Creighton is so fun to watch when it's not MU playing against them.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Creighton is so fun to watch when it's not MU playing against them.

I really hope they can do something in the tournament.

[BM1090]

I really hope they can do something in the tournament.

McDermott's track record isn't great but they are quicker and more athletic this year. They embraced the small ball lineup and are making teams adjust to them.

And the talking heads like Steve Lavin still tout him as the player of the year. He may get it, but he shouldn't.

I think it should probably go to Alexander if not Howard. He's been efficient offensively and is tasked with guarding opponent's best guard and he does it well.

Creighton is fun to watch.

I agree with this analysis.

[JWags85]

And the talking heads like Steve Lavin still tout him as the player of the year. He may get it, but he shouldn't.

I'll leave the advanced numbers to guys like Brewcity, but even looking at simple top line numbers

L5 games:
Howard: 24.6 PPG, 37.3% FG, 35.8% 3PT (10.6 3PA), 4 Reb, 3 Ast....2-3 team record
Powell: 18.4 PPG, 35.2% FG, 22% 3PT (9.8 3PA), 3.4 Reb, 3 Ast...3-2 team record

L10 games:
Howard: 27.6 PPG, 39% FG, 34% 3PT (11 3PA), 3.5 Reb, 3.4 Ast....6-4 team record
Powell: 20.2 PPG, 38% FG, 23.8% 3PT (8.8 3PA), 3.8 Reb, 2.8 Ast...7-3 team record

Powell does nothing better than Markus. He's chucking 3s at an absurd rate for how poorly he's shooting them and SH is no longer the hottest team in the BEast. Not to mention without Markus, Marquette is fighting DePaul. SH would still be a top half team without Powell, as was evidenced today.

The fact that the narrative about Powell being a killer and a closer and a "bucket getter" hasn't changed over the last 5 games, and has only gotten louder, is amusing. 22% from 3 is shockingly bad, much less on consistent double digit attempts

[Herman Cain]

The Hall with solid win over The Johnnies

Creighton 49 Butler 24 15:57 left second

[JWags85]

Butler shooting 40% and losing by 30 is just brutal. Zagarowski shooting out of his mind and Creighton just firing on all cylinders.  No question they are the best team in the BE.

[Herman Cain]

Creighton is a fun team to watch play. Their players  clearly enjoy McDermotts system and are thriving in it.

Which is a little odd as the MU fan experts here were saying how bad McDermott is as a coach....our fan base....it's a beauty and super knowledgeable, too.

He's always been a great offensive coach. They have more quickness and athleticism this year to go with their usual good shooting and spacing.

Hoping this is the year they can end their tournament woes.

"The MU fan experts here (on Scoop)" claim McDermott is a bad coach?

LOL. Your modus operandi when attacking. Sweeping, unsubstantiated accusations with zero evidence. Have a few guys here criticized McDermott (and other coaches, ADs, administrators, players, writers, etc.)? Sure. So have you. How many have said McDermott can't coach? A handful? When did they become "the MU fan experts here"? When you make this type of bullish!t up (it's all over the board on a myriad of topics) do you have any purpose other than self aggrandizement?
