4.  Davidson unable to hit a 3 while Koby unable to hit anything just about offset.
5.  Moving on.

Is it weird that I'd be ok if we had 13 TO's every game this season? Maybe I just have PTSD from the last 2 games...

[Mr. Nielsen]

Davidson average 9 made three games per game. Marquette held them to zero.

13 TOs isnt great but its definitely surviveable

[CAGASS24]

Ugly in every regard for both teams - a grind out win will help us I hope going forward - rims there stink

[forgetful]

We should have done the same thing defensively (run them off the line) against Wisconsin.

Against a powerhouse like Davidson...

[Uncle Rico]

Against a powerhouse like Davidson...

Davidson has been good at forcing turnovers this year

[PGsHeroes32]

Against a powerhouse like Davidson...

You're probably new to college basketball but the fundamentals have been a Davidson staple under Mckillop.

They usually take care of the ball, slow the game down, make shots and make free throws.

SO yeah, considering we limited pretty much all of that...we did something right.

Just can't score outside Markus

You could do something crazy and give MU credit for holding that powerhouse Davidson to 0 3 point shots made.

[IrwinFletcher]

DU missed 32 shots.  Marquette gave up only 6 offensive rebounds.

Forced DU into 17 TO's when they avg 10.8

0-15 from 3 is lucky in some respects, but also some good defense.

Got little to nothing from our 3 headed BIG monster (although they did have 10 boards) and still won.

Jamal Cain with 7 rebounds tonight.

[The Sultan]

Kennedy is a terrible announcer.  But he was right that putting the ball in Markus' hands was a smart move. 

[Daniel]

MU wins.  40 of 73 by Marcus.  Incredible. Or incredulous lol.  He is amazing and carries a lot of water for the team.  Glad we win.  Hopefully we get better and better.

Yeah. 40 years new to college basketball...

Turnovers have been a staple of Wojo-era MU teams.  One of the points of frustration.

So... When someone says 13 t/o are survivable, I tend to disagree.  That number against a higher quality opponent and no way we win.

- Great Markus game
- Nice to beat a better coached team
- MU has no coherent offense
- I'm pretty convinced Ed Morrow plays for the other team.  On offense he's like a 6th defender and on defense he's like an open gate
- so many difficult shots... why can't MU have an offense that creates a few easy shots
- Nice spurt from BB, Jamal was positive too
- Another ugly win, but still a win

[1SE]

Yeah, kind of the only take away from this game is when Markis goes God mode we win. But we already knew that. Interestested in seeing how the rest of the weekend plays out

[Dish]

Glad to get a win, stay in the winner's bracket. Find a way tomorrow to beat SC, and then matchup with Maryland.

[jesmu84]

Our defense is very good.

They have an offense.  They're trying to get drivers into the lane and to the basket.  But they're just not getting there quick enough.  And outside of Markus, they aren't hitting shots. 

[tower912]

I liked seeing both Sacar and Koby run that curl drive around the double screen at the foul line.   Would have liked to see Koby make one even more.

I was surprised Davidson did not do a hack-a-Jayce.

[Johnny B]

Insane they didnt make a 3. First time in 25 years.. just crazy

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

I like the new anti-flop rule.

[DJO's Jaw]

Wait, they didn't make a 3? Why didn't the announcers ever mention that?

[rocket surgeon]

i think i heard one or more of these refs had final four experience...if so, they called this one like a high school game-both sides

[Bo Ryan's Massage Therapist]

They went 800 plus straight games making a three and we held them to zero threes.  Lucky but also our defense is solid.  Some of their transition buckets were from taking away the three
