Grambling grumbling

[tower912]

1.  10 days of rust.
2.  15 minutes of wheel spinning.
3.   And then everything else was fairly predictable.
4.  I don't think anybody is getting anointed after this Grambling game.
5.  Silly technical on Akanno.
6.  Grambling will do very well in the SWAC.
7.  3 pt shooting top 10 in the country.   All is not lost, apparently.
8.  Not Jayce's night.  It will still be ok.
9.  I love seeing 10 deep and interchangeable.  Hope it lasts.  Gives Marquette an edge.  Exploit it.  There will be nights when it may only be 7-8.  But some nights all 10 will be needed.
10.  Never really in doubt.

Double big lineup with Jamal could eat up on the boards, especially if the bigs are Ed and Jayce.

[fjm]

I like the idea of throwing Ed at the line and try the jump shot real quick. Looked good if he could make one.

Also couldn't cover. MU sucks

Good w

EsPN boxscore shows 27 assists on 29 made baskets. If true, impressive.

Yup

[IrwinFletcher]

11.  27 Assists on 29 made FG's.  Great ball movement.
12.  Four guys with 4 or more assists
13.  Morrow with some signs of life in the 2nd half
14.  TO's were improved tonight

Great scheduling this game after 10 days off.

[mug644]

The ball movement was great. Best was just after the great Morrow block, when Elliott brought it up, passed it around the horn, got it back and hit the three.

I also agree that Grambling will do well in the SWAC. Very quick.

1. I think I've read this after every single Xmas break lay-off. You could have put this on your Grumblings 9 days ago.
4. Not worth mentioning. Red shirt is into the non con game. Shouldn't have been a T. I know, I know....he's a cheerleader...shouldn't be clapping his hands in the opponents face.  Wojo, like you, will be all over it and make sure that this nonsense doesn't continue!

[MuMark]

Thought Koby let the game come to him a little better tonight

Sacar's improvement/development is a credit to,him and the staff......

Our bigs just can't stop fouling.....grrr

SY just makes the simple and smart play over and over again......

The sequence where the ball swung around to Greg for the corner 3 after about 5 passes was just a thing of beauty.

[We R Final Four]

Phantom foul on Theo.
Phantom foul on Jayce......
Seen it before.

Just a little.

He made two baskets tonight, both layups.  Koby cannot hit anything from the outside at all.
Last seven games:
10 for 50 field goals (20%)
5 for 30 three pointers (16%)

Koby did have 7 assists, 5 rebounds and 4 turnovers, and appeared to be emotionally better, but just hoping the outside shots start dropping by BE play.

Yes, Jayce Johnson played like six minutes and fouled out. 

[Dr. Blackheart]

Best offensively efficient game of the season. 

Defense played really well until garbage time.

Nice 30-7 run at end and start of the halves. 

High-low looked good.

[MuMark]

MU is 3rd in the country in 3 point percentage.......only 10 games in but I sure didn't see that coming.

[We R Final Four]

And Think I Koby was hitting...or wasn't shooting...close to top 5 Id bet.

[fjm]

Love the 3pt game.

Koby can't hit that 3 lately. He gets an open look and I feel like maybe he should dribble in a bit and try to hit the floater a-la MarKus last year.

[MuMark]

Jamal is making 60% of his two's and 44% of his 3s.......

Did not see the game. Akanno played?

[We R Final Four]

No.....but he clapped.

[forgetful]

MU is 3rd in the country in 3 point percentage.......only 10 games in but I sure didn't see that coming.

I would be selling Mane on how MU has one of the best shooting coaches in the country, and he can play in an offense where he can show off his shooting development.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I love Sy on offense. I hate Sy on defense. He got caught flatfooted a lot tonight. But I'm willing to live with some poor D occasionally if he can get us out of those offensive slumps we've seen once or twice every game.

That Morrow block and that Morrow dunk were two great examples of physical dominance. If he could harness that into something organized and he could be a really good player.

Koby looked a lot better tonight despite clanking all of his threes. 10 points, 5 boards, 7 assists, you take that most nights even with 4 TOs. If he finds his shot again (shot 42% as a FR), we will be a very deadly team.

Liked the limited high low action with the two bigs. Don't know that there is enough fouls in the world to allowed that to happen on a regular basis.

Jamal continues to impress. If the last three games are his new normal I see good things in his future.

Sacar: 5/7 from 3, 1/4 from 2. If you had told me his freshman/sophomore years that he would be a sharpshooter who struggles to score at the rime I would have laughed in your face. I'm afraid that our three point shooting attack is not sustainable. Need him and Koby to attack the rim and finish to keep opponents from playing up on our shooters.

9.  I love seeing 10 deep and interchangeable. Hope it lasts. Gives Marquette an edge. Exploit it. There will be nights when it may only be 7-8. But some nights all 10 will be needed.

Would love to see 9-10 guys contributing most every night. Depth could be a real difference-maker this season, especially at the end of close games.

[Bad_Reporter]

Waiting for Chico's to chime in with the "BIG Johnson"

[Ellenson Guerrero]

My takeaway: Symir needs to continue to get more run. The offense just operates more smoothly with him running the point. Always seems under control while moving the ball to the open man quickly.

[BM1090]

MU is 3rd in the country in 3 point percentage.......only 10 games in but I sure didn't see that coming.

And more of our shots are coming from deep this year too. Never would have guessed.

[Dr. Blackheart]

They are 10th in free throw rate.
