Boiler breakdown

Sam ended up at UVA

You should shut up before embarrassing yourself anymore.

Sam should have stayed
Joey was never a fit
No offense to either but they were redundant

I don't think anyone is questioning their skill level. But at some point chemistry becomes impossible to salvage. If we'd hit that point, then addition by subtraction.

Too early to tell if that's the case.

Loved the way wojo rested Howard throughout the game and trusted the other players to perform.  Howard looked fresh as a daisy at the end because of it.

I was a little worried about that move with about 10 to play in the game. We had narrowed the lead and were having a hard time getting past about a 3-4 point deficit. I was happy with the defense-first plan, but was a little worried about the offense. And it all worked out just like it was supposed to.

Koby stepping up tonight was huge. And Wojo putting together a gameplan to give him that opportunity was a great move. I like seeing Koby as our #2 option, and it sure seems like the team was fired up to see him have a big second half. Did anyone else catch the interaction between Markus and Koby when the final buzzer sounded? Markus showed more emotion celebrating Koby tonight than he did breaking the record last week. That's the kind of team chemistry that can really take us places.

Excellent Summary from Mark Miller

Not so much. The Rick Mount  shot was an absolute devastating dagger.

No disagreement here.  Wojo screwed that up.  And he had Ellenson backstory to learn from.  Losing Sam is a travesty.

Your point?

Not all on Wojo though.  Not all on the Hausers either.  Time and space is often underrated, aina?

Was just watching some highlights of last game @UW 2 years ago and damn Sam could play. Watching that full court pull up nothing but net 3 never gets old. Probably be in the top 10 with him right now and have a legit shot at winning the whole thing with college bball being pretty open this year.

The real dagger was Ric Cobb's missed free throw that would have beaten Purdue in regulation.

Nice we finally beat those guys. Now, let's work to even it up!

Two good teams. Purdue is well-coached and a good test. Ought to find a way to play them home and home.

Very happy with the guys who want to be Warriors.

What's His Name and What's His Name Jr. are ancient history. No ill will to them; they simply no longer matter to me. Not sure why they would matter this season to anybody who loves the Warriors.

Agree 100%. Loved how tough our team played in the second half. This team has the talent and depth to win the BE.  Can't wait to see Jayce play. Theo had a phenomenal game. Loved the way he manhandled Harmms.  Bet we beat the rodents by 15.

[muwarrior69]

Great defense? No way! Purdue just got cold in the second half.

We finally beat Purdue! Good start.

At some point, Marquette is actually going to lose a game or two.   Some people here really need to work on getting out of their pull-ups and into big boy underwear.

McEwen played a great game but was surprised how much he had the ball. Figured he'd be the off guard. Markus seemed to disappear a bit without the ball.

Purdue's length really bothered Markus at times. Made it hard to get looks and hard to drive. What really impressed me was that he was slowed, but they weren't able to completely get him out of the game, and when he did get a sliver of daylight, he made them pay.

This is why Markus has needed ballhandling help. In the past, this could've been a 7 TO night for him with a number of forced shots. He took what Purdue gave him but didn't force more. Really impressive offensive night from Markus, as much for what he didn't do as what he did.

[Its DJOver]

Thought that we did a good job of denying entry passes into the post.  There were a few times that Haarms got the ball too deep and scored easily, but he got far fewer touches than Haas last time we played Purdue.  Credit to both Theo, and the length of our guards to help deny the pass.

I agree with this analysis.

I think Torrence subbed in for Sacar.

Why wasnt that play reviewed for a elbow to the head?  Not intentional but could still be called.

If i'm not mistaken they did walk over to the monitor during the timeout following that play.  It was a quick review.  I thought the refs actually did a fairly decent job, except for the missed Kicked Ball at the top of the key that led to Sacar's great block on the ensuing fastbreak.

Was ranked #2 before they left.

[Galway Eagle]

Was ranked #2 before they left.

Before most the 2019 class had committed and people had said if they were returning or not. Still would likely be higher though.

[BallBoy]

Was ranked #2 before they left.

One of the two Hauser's would not have started this year and both would have played less. Defense is significantly better without but we aren't as good offensively. If Koby maintains this 2nd half performance the drop off from offense isn't as great as the uplift in defense.

[jsglow]

Theo 34 minutes, 2 fouls.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Theo 34 minutes, 2 fouls.

Theo +19. Haarms -17.

Great take, brewski.

Some folks get their undies in a bundle when Markus has the ball and/or shoots "too much," and also can get their undies in a bundle when Markus has the ball and/or shoots "too little."

Markus played an intelligent, team-oriented game. Moved well without the ball. Attention Purdue paid on him led to a ton of open shots for his teammates. Our guys (especially Koby) started knocking 'em down in the second half.

Where they will both be the one-dimensional spot up shooters that they are.  so what?

[tower912]

Koby and Greg showed what big guards can do, offensively, defensively, on the boards.    Greg was the missing piece last year.    That team was slow and nobody but Markus could get his shot.    Last night, Purdue guarded the crap out of Markus, but MU had other guards who could create shots, instead of standing around at the three point line or doing the world's slowest back down.       MU was able to extend on defense, do a much better job of switching and containing the dribble than last year.     And MU ultimately fought Purdue to a virtual tie on the boards.    Without Jayce.     
There was a lull in the first half.    Oops


This team is going to win a lot of games.    But other teams are good and there are going to be games that Marquette actually loses.   Some of you, once again, made damn fools of yourselves.
