Highly impressed (9.5 out of 10), and highly worried he was going to biff it and get stuffed by the rim.  Bet you slo mo that one and he had about 1 inch of clearance.  The 2 second celebration with the fans in the stands behind the basket?  0 out of 10.

Shaka was not pleased. It should be pointed out that when Sean Jones blew the layup due to maybe thinking dunk….he immediately responded defensively on the two ensuing possessions. The thing Shaka should say to David is: Jop, SJ is the fastest man in college hoops, and even he had to work to get back involved with play after making a bad decision.

Bragging about dunking on a message is wayyy better than high fiving the fans after a real dunk.

Shaka - had the game plan that put the guys in position to win.
Oso - for playing amazing Defense, making key FT's and rebounds, rebounds, rebounds.  Oh, and no foul trouble.
Sean - The game he's been about to have for a year now he just had.  Need more of this from him
but.... Kolek, with the quietest 15 pt, 8 ast, 4 board 3 steal game in history kind of has to be the stud.

It's almost like we are starting to take TK for granted. He was exactly what you said + excellent on defense.

Jop celebrated the dunk with Jae.

He also had time to get back and chest bump Stevie before Creighton even got the ball down court. His celebration is not what allowed a Creighton basket. Honestly it was just fouling being the worst thing you could do, so MU showed no resistance at all.

I thought the same thing. Shaka looked pissed at the whole team for parting like the Dead Sea.

Video on Marquette instagram supports this. Jop wagon clearly appears to be back on defense and as prepared as ever before the ball is even in the officials hands underneath the basket.

Yet another point in Jop’s column.

To the haters and losers, keep trying but the jop wagon is rollin, rollin, rollin.

Offering absolutely no resistance and an automatic layup was the worst thing he could have done on that possession.  And that's what Jop did.  But at least it was Jae that he celebrated the dunk with.  So.  There's that!!

I misunderstood Shaka’s rage after that bucket. Even thinking Jop messed up, I still have been very much pulling for him. Happy he is turning the corner. Two very solid games in a row.

You're right.  Jop definitely didn't lose focus in that moment at all.  Wonder why Shaka was so pissed off right after giving up that gimme layup? 

[Dr. Blackheart]

Easy. TyKo. KPom agrees. Oso was not great offensively and many of his Orebs were his own misses.

Jop was back on defense. Go watch the tape.

Not sure if he “lost focus” or not, but it’s not a great look.

Pathetic from Stevie not being in a defensive stance right here

[noblewarrior]

S. Jones 13 mins were Fire!

Dude. I know he was back on defense. He was mentally still caught up on his dunk. He was an absolute turn style on that play. Your point makes it worse. He was back, and just let the guy go to the basket with zero resistance.  Watch the immediate aftermath, Kolek kind of looked at him like WTF? 


Look, Jop hit 2 huge shots and those were clutch.  He just got a little carried away in the moment and I have no doubt Shaka will point it out and Jop learns from it.

Jop is the biggest X-factor for this team. If he’s good we are really good. But, Sean Jones very well may become the X-Factor. He is a disruptor.

You a mind reader now too ?

Do you disagree with my post?  Think Jop was locked in on D on that possession?  Yes or no?

Players make mistakes. I don’t believe giving a high five contributed to the mistake in question.

I mean...maybe?

Shaka didn't seem to think so. And that makes it a teachable moment regardless.

[Goose]

I will follow up on a previous post, no one should miss a second on TK’s play at MU. He is a joy to watch and should not be taken for granted. To be honest, I think too many are taking him for granted and think they are missing out.

[Elonsmusk]

I agree players make mistakes and I’m a huge fan of letting players play through them (one of the reasons I hated Wojo was his quick hook with most guys).


I don’t think Jop’s high five was the reason ha man blew by him on the other end, but that’s he wasn’t locked in still reveling in the play. But all good. We won.
