Hurley is terrified of what Marquette could be moving forward.  He was trying to will Oso to the NBA last night with his words.  He wants no part of this team.

Oh come on...

[nycwarrior]

...If Adama had his A game, we could have had two guys with 20 at the center position......

Mostly (not entirely) complimentary to MU players. Beyond calling out Oso's talent Hurley called Kolek the best QB in the college game...Kam very crafty with the dribble...

My only quibble with the "If Adama had his A game..." comment is that it mitigates the MU swarming, stripping and trapping that forced Sanogo into five turnovers and held him to 10 points.

[GoldenEagles03]

Oh come on...

He mentioned Oso to the NBA more than once last night in the postgame. Clearly doesn't want to deal with him anymore.

Effen Hurley. He wants all of our players to go pro!

This is some next-level evil genius stuff right here.

[Uncle Rico]

Oh come on...

Sweet.  Oso will be back

[GoldenEagles03]

Just want to throw this out there too really quick because I hadn't really seen it mentioned anywhere, but Oso Ighodaro appeared to cramp up in his hamstrings late.  I'm certain a lot of guys would have come out of the game and tried to tend to that, but Oso realized his importance and pushed through it and finished that game for the team.  Pretty incredible to push through leg cramps late.

Or, they weren't that bad.

Or he admires him as a player.  But anyway, my comment was mostly in response to you saying that Hurley is "terrified" of what Marquette could be. That's just silly.

He only plays through easy cramps?

I guess Hurley did not get the memo that his team had zero chance to lose to Marquette this year, hey?  Our record was 1-3 after the Providence game because we just weren't beating UCONN this year.

Meanwhile Hurley's shaking in his boots.

True that!  And all of our players had their A game each game, well....... Think we could roll a few teams..... lol

Bingo. And by placing all players out of bounds after a basket, any quick grab foul before an inbounds is an intentional.

I thought there were no intentional fouls in college.

Can you explain more?

It'd be a flagrant 1. Which includes the old definition of intentional foul.

[tower912]

Re-watching it while I work out.    Stevie Mitchell and OMax were filthy on defense.

Thanks for clarification!

There simply aren't enough adjectives to describe how good Stevie is on defense. 

He has the 2nd best offensive rating in the Big East during league play.  He has the best turnover rate and is 4th in steal %. This kid is bonkers good. If he stays four years, he'll leave one of the best guards in the modern era of Marquette basketball. That's a Rico lock

He likes the guy. Who doesn't? Pretty sure Hurley is not afraid of anyone. They will be ready for us next game. Hurley is a gamer.

So wait... you're saying that Dan Hurley, whose dad was a legendary high school coach in Jersey City, who himself played point guard in the Big East, and who coached himself up from high school, to Wagner, to Rhode Island, to UConn isn't actually "terrified" of Marquette and Oso???

The same poster who thinks he's terrified of MU is the same poster who said MU had a 1-3 record after opening 1-1 because there was just no chance this team was beating UCONN, so consider us 1-3.

Hell ya!  That's the beauty of College Sports, full of surprises.  And I'm sure I'll be way too high on Marquette next year based on the quick development of the guys this season.

[Viper]
