MU/St. J Game Thread

Would love to see Joplin pass out of the post just once.

He did from the seat of his pants just before!

[PGsHeroes32]

Theres the shift.

Our D is basically get steals right now.

Have to keep clamping down on that end

[MuggsyB]

Okay.  Good response.

Does it count when he's on his butt?

[GoldenEagles03]

Defend. Win.

As simple as that. St. John's on pace for 110 ain't gonna cut it.  Gotta dig in on that end.

People always say scoring toward your bench in the 2nd half is an advantage for the offenses.  You'd think Marquette would be able to dig in defensively near their bench.

That's about what it takes for Jop not to shoot.

Posh Alexander hilariously hits 2-2 on 3's after going 2 for his last 15.  Sean Jones has picked his pocket twice though.  Stevie picking up where he left off against Nova.  Oso getting some valuable rest.  We should be fine.

[MuggsyB]

Not a fan of this announcer. 

[MuggsyB]

Johnnies go zone.

[PGsHeroes32]

Difference between GOld and Oso right there.

Gold not even looking for the ball.

SJU quickly rebounds and scores

[MuggsyB]

Keep attacking.  St.J with 5 fouls. 

[PGsHeroes32]

Even with the brutal D

They are hitting everything. Soriano canning shot clock prayer jumpers

[MuggsyB]

We're making Soriano look like Tim Duncan. 

[PGsHeroes32]

Love Oso's skillset.

But that TO was obvious for about 15 seconds.

Luckily it was just a travel instead of either a live ball fast break or a charge. But a TO was coming on that.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

They're shooting 68% and we're down 1. I don't expect that to continue.

[GoldenEagles03]

Oso is getting dominated by Soriano and everytime we have a chance to tie or take a lead we turn it over.

They look to be the tougher team right now, but I'd like to think Marquette has the pride to finish the tougher team.

It's completely unnecessary/superfluous dribbling. Oso needs to wale up a bit.

TOugher? Bit of a stretch.

Sure Soriano is a load but hes just bigger and stronger. MOst of our other issues are dumb basketball and being sloppy.

[MuggsyB]

How many bunnies have we given up??  WTF???!!

[Dish]

I wouldn't mind going back to zone (as I'm writing this MU did).

They are just bullying every matchup at the rim, and we let it happen every possession.

They are still on pace for 110.

[MUEng92]

Soriono is out Osoing Oso

[PGsHeroes32]

This is the worst defense I have ever seen us play.

I think we have one stop(that wasnt a TO) in like 20 possessions.

Omax is way out of control tonight too. Panics everytime.

Kam and TK look good.

[PointWarrior]

So much for defense travels...

[MuggsyB]

I'm confused by our defense to this point. 

[GoldenEagles03]

Soriono is out Osoing Oso

He's doing more than that.  He's looking to top Hopkins 26 and 23 performance.
