Good thing those subs came in with 4.5 left for defense.

[NickelDimer]

Kam was really bad on both ends. Rough rough half for him

[MuggsyB]

That can't happen. Extremely upsetting.  I would be extremely animated if I was Shaka in tbe locker room.  Both teams played poorly but this was an atrocious half front our guys. 

[MUEng92]

But the 2nd half is the good half...

[Uncle Rico]

Kam's worse half in a long time.  Lost his man on that last possession, too

[mugrad_89]

I think we pull away and win this.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

He is really struggling.  Not sure the solution.  He's just out of sorts.  Would not be opposed to Gold getting a few of his minutes at this stage...but OMax's defense is valuable.

We absolutely need him and I'm not trying to crap on the guy but the inability to keep his footing is something.

[Elonsmusk]

We had a foul to give on that inbounds play at 4.5 seconds.  Pretty brutal to allow a layup in that scenario.

That aside, I don't think Kam or OMax could play any worse...they step up a little and we should be good.

[GoldenEagles03]

Kam had an open look for a lead and instead Xavier gets an uncontested layup.

This is going as poor as one could imagine and we are right in this thing.

[SoCalEagle]

I dislike Colby Jones.

We are making him look so good. 

[PointWarrior]

I dislike Colby Jones.

I dislike Marquette playing crap defense with 4 secs left in half to give up easy dunk.

[nyg]

MU during catchup had six defensive stops in a row, but MU had a three by Jones, terrible misses by Mitchell and Omax and two turnovers.  Did not take advantage of those stops. Six stops is fantastic. 

Nice comeback to get close, but not good last 30 seconds. Arena was like a funeral parlor for awhile. 

Omax hurting his NBA status, but he has been a second half stud all year, need him to recover.

Not good at all.

The guy did not come to play. He better look sharp right awa in 2nd half or get the early siesta.

[Norm]

Down 4 at half with K Jones shooting 1-10 and OMax 0-3.

[JakeBarnes]

Down 4 at half with K Jones shooting 1-10 and OMax 0-3.

So you're saying there's a chance.

[willie warrior]

I think we pull away and win this.

Not with Kam on floor.

[wisblue]

It might not be a February fade but I think you can take all the metrics about MUs efficient offense and throw them out the window. Decent teams have figured out how to defend them.

This seems accurate

[NickelDimer]

I'm still processing Sean Jones not dumping that ball to a trailing Omax. Idkwtf that half was

Exactly.  I expect them to be better but I also expect XU to be better. 

[MUUWUWM]

THIS CROWD WANTS TO ERUPT!

LETS GO!

[JakeBarnes]

we're a few missed bunnies from a lead. I think the guys come out strong.

Emblematic of guys trying to do too much by themselves.

[SoCalEagle]

Okay, I'm choosing to believe we got all the bad play out of our system and we take the lead / pull away from here.  Don't prove me wrong Warriors.
