GAME THREAD THE QUETTE AT THE DENCE 12-20-22

[Uncle Rico]

Discuss amongst yourselves

[MUEng92]

Bynum shooting 17% from 3 on the season, so I assume he'll make 8 tonight

[MUEng92]

Kolek shouldn't guard #23

[Daniel]

Going to be a grinder unless we stop them inside.   Need to get some fouls on their big guy.  Like we are attacking the basket.   All outperform points so far.  Gooooo Marquette!

[GoldenEagles03]

This could get ugly.

Nobody is competing. Defense non existent again.

[PGsHeroes32]

Brutal sequence


Omax with a great move biffs the lay up

Their 17% shooter drills a transition 3.

Kolek misses runner

DUnk for them

Down 6. Gotta tighten up and great tough downlow

[DoctorV]

Should probably close off the paint and make them shoot more jumpers, try to rebound by committee.

If they keep nailing 3rd then tough sledding

[MUEng92]

Joplin shouldn't guard #23

[DoctorV]

Joplin shouldn't guard #24

Yea he's gonna destroy Jop if Shaka allows that 1v1 with no double

[GoldenEagles03]

Joplin shouldn't guard #24

Well OMax certainly didn't want to.  Gotta try someone else.

Our team is getting thrown around with no resistance. Sad effort to start.

[Daniel]

Rebounds and misses are killing us.   And friars scoring inside rather easily.  Zone em maybe.  Man.   This is rough start for MU.  And we are not going to get any calls tonight so better play better.  Gooooo Marquette!

[CountryRoads]

Looks like it might be an uphill battle tonight.

[MUEng92]

That was pathetic

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Weird things always happen at the Dunk

[MUEng92]

Ross x Ross

[cheebs09]

I will be driving the Chase Ross bandwagon. Please buckle up for the ride.

[MUEng92]

I probably shouldn't be this mean since these players are young guys, but Joplin's defense looks like me when I played on Wednesday nights at the local middle school when I was in my mid 40's

[GoldenEagles03]

Our offense looks great.

Problem is, our defense is $#i+

For how much they preach defense, defense, defense, sometimes it just doesn't exist.

For the most part, when they've started poorly on defense, they've finished strong this season.  Going to need their best today to get a win.

Those 5th graders are quick.

[StillAWarrior]

I want Marquette to win just because I think the broadcast team might cry. Are they related to someone in the Providence program?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Joplin is such an offensive spark plug but his defense makes him borderline unplayable

[MUEng92]

Those 5th graders are quick.

"AT" the middle school, not against middle schoolers. 

[GB Warrior]

Man, the boys are getting their ass kicked on defense

[MUEng92]

First time this year that the opponent looks more athletic than MU

[WolfganghisKhan]

Are we going to show any effort and energy on defense at all?! This is pathetic.
