14-5
« on: January 21, 2020, 10:13:27 PM »
1.  Mike Anderson can coach.  Can you imagine his system with last year's players?  They just refused to die.
2.  Wojo says don't do X, it will let SJU back in the game.  For the next 5 minutes, MU does exactly what Wojo warned them about.   Maddening.
3.  Cain was better than Bailey tonight.  OK, foul trouble factored in, but Jamal played well and the minutes were allotted accordingly.
4.  I like Jayce more every game.
5.  Conversely, Theo blocked everything.  Like Stan told him, apparently.
6. Sacar was a great sidekick tonight.
7.  Yes, there were turnovers.  SJU did what they do.  On balance, I thought MU handled it decently.   Solid B.
8.  A three game winning streak.   I guess the season isn't over.
9.  Akanno is noticeably bigger than Elliott.
10.  32 points is ho hum.   
11.  Let's extend Butler's losing streak.

Hope Elliot can play even a couple minutes in the game Friday, need the depth.
It is nice to let Symir get some run though but he is still raw; against Butler not sure MU can afford that. I think MU matches up well vs Butler. Hoping for a good game.

Jayce, Jamal, and Sacar all played well.  Koby and Markus were okay by their standards.  Brendan struggled.

Win.

Onto the next.

Jayce had one foul and 9 rebounds

Koby 9 rebounds

Theo had 6 blocks

Good team effort.  Add Sacar with 21.

SJU. 6 for 9 from free throws.  MU was 26 for 33.  Ballgame.

I would have put this in the game thread if I wasn't avoiding scoop during games, but Jamal after the no-look pass to Sacar for 3:

Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

5. I wish Sacar could have hit a few more of those wide open threes. He may have had a career night if that were the case.

According to Guru things are still not "ok". My question is when does it become "ok"?? 10 game win streak? When's it become good?

Marquette missed 5 wide open 3's in the first 5 minutes and still came away with a 14 point win.

Win.  Cover.  On to the next one.  Friday will be tough but winable.  If that happens this three game streak can very easily snowball into a seven game streak.

Great win.  We are better than St. John’s.  Nice to cover the spread but should have beaten them by 25.  First half poor shooting with wide open shots. 

Lesson learned on Sacar:  keep shooting wide open threes.  If he doesn’t we lose. 

Lets beat Butler and cement ourselves as a contender in this league.  Go MU!

Sacar was the man tonight. Felt this was one of his best games at MU. Very active on the glass and played strong D.

Anyone else think Marquette did the cancer awareness night solely to troll scoop?

I think we're all aware of Markus by this point in time.

A lot of concerns early in the year about Markus having to play hero ball and he certainly is still carrying a heavy scoring load, but other guys are chipping in by doing things other than scoring.

Sacar has become a solid second option.

Koby hasn't looked for his shot as much anymore which is fine, but hit two more 3's tonight and the guy is a rbound machine.

Bailey has had some impressive scoring games and his rebounding has been a huge help this season.

Jamal has lost some playing time, but tonight when needed, he stepped up with 8 and 5.

Jayce with 2 and 9 and has become a beast on the boards

Theo with 5 rebounds and 6 blocks.

Everyone is contributing in their own way and that is why we are winning.

Yep...a few more wide open 3s go down and it would have undoubtedly been his best. He played strong tonight.

This definitely shows the "team" part here. So good. Fun game

Three straight games where, while Markus got his points, everyone had key contributions.  Nice game from Jamal with Bailey in foul trouble. Two-headed center > three-headed center.

I said I hated this game...I don’t recall saying we would lose....
"I hate everything about this job except the games, Everything. I don't even get affected anymore by the winning, by the ratings, those things. The trouble is, it will sound like an excuse because we've never won the national championship, but winning just isn't all that important to me.” Al McGuire
