According to Shaka and Izzo, MSU's defense was an important factor.




Lol.
Of course they'll say this. This is a lot like when Jay Wright used to heap praise on Wojo in postgame interviews. Same concept.

Disagree 100%.  They packed it in, took away the two man game of Kolek/Oso, and forced us to drive into crowds.

Plus, at crunch time, one team had poise and worked for the good shot, while the other chucked up early threes and turned the ball over.  That's coaching.

I've been saying experience is huge and only 6 Marquette rotation members have been together 2 years.  Oso the only holdover from 3 years ago.  Michigan State was able to have Hauser, Hoggard, Hall and Sissoko who are in their 3rd year together and Walker and Aken have been with them for 2 years.  Hauser is 23 years old while Hoggard, Hall, Walker and Sissoko are all 22 years old.  Tyler is Marquette's oldest rotation player and he turns 22 next week, while Kam is the next oldest and he just turned 21 in February.

Marquette was able to dodge the age/experience issue for most of the season, but it caught up with them yesterday IMHO.

Good point - it's very like Shaka to throw his best player under the bus for poor performance or blame an injury.

I'd agree that experience was a factor.

Exactly.  9 two point FG, 11 threes.   MSU was all about taking away the drive and dish in the paint.

I think MU had seen this defense before and executed better against it previously.  Bad game by MU.  Good game plan by MSU but MSU didn't throw anything revolutionary against them.  But MSU won and those thinking the masterful Izzo's scheme was the reason will be difficult minds to change.

But both MU playing badly and a good defensive strategy can both be true at the same time.  Many turnovers were inexplicable and not defense related.   

Oh well, on to next year.

The one thing everyone has overlooked and might be the most important reason Marquette lost yesterday was, that was a trap game
