Lewis Out

[Galway Eagle]

I was just thinking that the one thing we need more of this season is Jamal dribbling the basketball.

I don't see a way this goes wrong with a sure fire nba player like jamal

[GooooMarquette]

If it wasn't how might you go about it though?

I see what you did there.

LOL, yeah...

I mean its not out of the realm of possibility, but I find it extremely unlikely.

True, we could all use a laugh.

[MarquetteMike1977]

its as if Wojo recruited a roster he has no use for. Odd. "Season is a dog"and Oso gets no PT. Dex, well, he must be bad. Sy is overmatched. I mean, was it all a swing & miss?

Agree for the most part. To Your Speaking of this "season being a dog"  Other than beating UW and Creighton, hopefully Marquette can turn this season around against the bull "dogs"  🙂 We Are Marquette! Go Marquette!

If we see more of that, it might be time to write a letter.

Things aren't looking the best for a post season run. Why not use the remainder of the season to develop young guys and work to get the seniors to the NBA? While we might not have a national championship in our sights this year, we can still make it productive for the program.

A lot to unpack here but "we might not have a national championship in our sights" is an interesting point...

I think this account is probably Chico, BUT, I'll agree with this post in spirit.  If Lewis is out again today, there's no reason not to give Osa at least a few minutes to see if he can play.

Because for Jamal to get to the NBA, he isn't going to do it based on a handful of games this year.  It will be a couple years in the G League that gets him there - if that.

[We R Final Four]

Just like Juan Toscano-Anderson, all you need is a chance. I think Jamal can capitalize on the extra minutes. More time on court = more time with the ball in his hand and improving his handle.

I don't think "more time" is what JC needs. He's had plenty of time to improve his dribbling and it is still an adventure every time.

I do agree. There's no reason he shouldn't get a small run if Lewis is out. Let the guy with fresh legs give us a few hustle minutes.

i do think MU has a good win upcoming. Whether it's a win next week at #3 'Nova or beating Creighton a 2nd time. Something good will happen...with Oso, Dex or Sy playing a big role.

[franklinjerry]

Cain to NBA. Oso, Dex or Sy breaking out to lead us to an upset of Creighton or Villanova.
Are any of you required to use past experience in your daily lives? There was no reason for Oso not to play against the SJ but today is the day?
Am I missing the tongue in cheek?

And I think I have a good shot at winning the Power Ball. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

My understanding of Oso is that his defense is significantly ahead of his offense (which is more because of his bad offense than good defense)

We were trailing virtually the entire game against SJU. I could see a situation today where we build a lead and Oso is given some minutes because his defense is passable and his offense is not needed.

We are also still technically in the race for the NCAAT. It's a very slim chance with 6-2 or 5-3 and a BET championship game appearance being required, but it's still a chance. If that chance slips to zero, I would hope that Wojo would use the lame duck games as an opportunity to get Sy, Dex, and Oso some game reps.

Just saw Lewis in a boot during pre-game. Looks like he's out.

Sidenote - I just found the pre-game show on Youtube. Does this air for every game?

Yes it does. I've only watched one though because apathy. But also, is that guy 18 or 65? I feel like he could be anywhere in between.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Haha. And he looks like a husky 6'9".

[MU82]

Any updates on Justin?

[burger]

Osa looks like he weighs 150 on TV......I can see why he is not playing.....He needs to go on some kind of 5000 calorie protein diet and work with the strength coach.....

You can not play in the Big East with his present body.....

Probably has the skills......But the body is major issue....

[MuggsyB]

Yes.  "Is there a Justin update"?  Woukd be a big loss if he can't go today.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Rothstein said game time decision on JFL.

That's better than him being definitely declared out. Here's hopin'!

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

I think Alexander is now the frontrunner for rookie of the year.
