4 assists

[Boston Warrior]

Is 4 assists a record low?

[BCHoopster]

Does Markus ever have an assist?

[WhiteTrash]

This is embarrassing.

I could accept 20% shooting more easily than 4 assists.

[PGsHeroes32]

Does Markus ever have an assist?

Yes

[Billy Hoyle]

Does Markus ever have an assist?

3 a game, up from 2 as a freshman, while his shooting percentage has dropped every year. But, he did get rid of the Hausers, so....

[JWags85]

Does Markus ever have an assist?

He's averaging 3+ a game, on a team where his usage is insane and the whole team defers to him. This "selfish gunner" crap needs to stop. This team doesn't know how to score without him rolling

Markus is not the problem.It is the other starting guard that is the problem.Get a true point guard and a lot of problems go away.Markus is not supposed to be the point guard.McEwen bad play destroys the whole offense.It is so obvious

Totally agree ball sticks in Mcewens hands, over dribbles or hesitates every time.  Horrible handle and a even worse facilitator.  Top 10 team with even an average point guard, we r better when he is not on the floor

[Aircraftcarrier]

Absolutely Sand Knit.It is so obvious.Can't believe these people that are blaming Markus.He has never really had a true point next to him.

Leave off the rolling and you have spoken the truth.
Whether he's on or off, he gets precious little help.

[Goose]

Three of the assists were Howard to Howard.

I agree with this, but how do you correct it now.  Without McEwen we lose Defense, Rebounding and maybe some scoring.  Symir

all of this-when a player thinks he is better than he really is, not much chance for improvement.  kinda like, he doesn't know what he doesn't know

[ducs]

Hard to get assist when most of our passes are hand offs 30 ft away from the basket

[Loose Cannon]

I agree with this, but how do you correct it now.  Without McEwen we lose Defense, Rebounding and maybe some scoring.  Symir is young and weaker on Defense, Rebounding, but OK off the bench.

I'm mulling over  using Sacar at the point (He's not a point, but I think better than what we have seen) and moving McEwen to the 3 with Cain and Greg.  3rd base for me.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Id take Chartouney over Mcewen

[Aircraftcarrier]

What did KO do when he was the Head Coach.In his first recruiting class was McIlvaine,Key,Brakes and Logterman.His second class he got the pg to run the show in Tony Miller.His most important recruit in his era with Hutchins being the second most important.You need a good point guard.Look at Creighton.Arguably the best backcourt in the league along with Ballard as a shooter.There bigs are marginal.

[CTWarrior]

The way I look at it, at least 4 or 5 times for each team I find myself saying or thinking "Nice pass!"  I do not think that much when we play.  I've said on and off in many threads over the years that I think ball movement is the way to go.  After watching Creighton, that is a fun way to play, an enjoyable game to watch and a good way to win.

Tony was an absolute stud, even though he could not shoot a lick.

Howard is a selfish gunner. Full Stop.

And that is where I block you. Dude played 2 years with Rowsey, a very capable point.

[Aircraftcarrier]

Lol.If you don't know the difference between a true point guard and Rowsey I can't help you.You lose all credibility

[HutchwasClutch]

20 made FG

18 turnovers

4 assists.

One guy accounting for over half the team points.

Wow.  It's both painful and shockingly bad to watch.

[AZMarqfan]

McEwen is a much better ball-handler than Markus, he also creates more for his teammates and has better court awareness. 

As for those forgetting, Rowsey was a tremendous ball-handler.  While he also was a shoot-first guard, he was much better at ball-handling and creating for teammates. 

Two years ago (injured thumb year) I was saying I hoped Elliott would run the point.  I hoped Chartouny would be the answer.  The irony is that I'd love a Wojo—good ball-handler, good awareness, strong defensively, unselfish.  Why hasn't Wojo been able to find or develop one?

On one end. One of the worst players in the country on the other. Rowsey was a capable ball handler and passer.
