A bad case of the runs

[tower912]

1.   A great run to begin.    The flow changed with the no-call on the Kolek drive. 
2.   Villanova showed some pride on both ends.   They also changed their defensive rotation, taking away the middle and then recovering to shooters.  It only took them 52 minutes of getting smoked to finally adjust. 
3.   Welcome back, Chase.   
4.  Heal quickly, Tre. 
5.  Momentum is a powerful thing.    It took a hustle play by Gold leading to Ross getting fouled on a 3 to stem it.
6.  34-10 run.    25-9 answer.     
7-Man rotation.   Essentially a 6 man rotation in the second half.   
8.  But that Kolek guy.  He's ok.   Oh, that's right.   He is a first team all American.
9.  Free throws... yeah.   
10. This team has heart.   Get healthy.     The sky is the limit with a healthy Kam and a healthy Ross.

That was a direction to Ross.   If the easy in bound pass isn't there, throw it as far as you can.

+2.5 was an insult. Marquette might not see a line like that the rest of the season.

Muggsy, anything to add?

[The Sultan]

Tre was in late when Mitchell went out so I'm sure he's fine.

[mugrad_89]

I mentioned before the game I thought their championship mettle would come thru tonite and that's what we saw.

[jesmu84]

Chase's foul/block was one of the more athletic displays I've seen in the last few years by Marquette

[ATL MU Warrior]

Best post game thread title ever.

[TFlegend]

My goodness.  I have whiplash from that game.  Good shorthanded win. 

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Impressed with our guys tonight.

Hit some FTs, Jop.

Totally agree. During the timeout, I said to my wife that if the quick inbounds wasn't there, throw it over half court

Great win. Great recap!!

[Vander Blue Man Group]

So good to have Chase back.

Get Kam healthy and let's roll.

At UCONN it'll be higher than that.

Hope you made a boatload. There was nothing insulting about it. Q1 road game. Everyone is losing those.

We'll see a bigger line at Creighton and at UCONN. Depending on who we play, could be bigger in the NCAAs and BET too.

3rd toughest game left on the regular season schedule, according to the computers.

I hope no expectant mothers watched that game. They aren't allowed on roller coasters.

MU opponents are now 29-29 on free throws the last two games. They shouldn't be that hard.

Thank goodness for Kolek's 3 point string in the last 10 minutes. Other points were getting hard to come by.

I'm glad to get that game out of the way and in the bank. I don't think they would have done it without Ross's contributions.

Yep. No one should have expected anything but a brawl tonight, especially with Kam out.

Need better FT defense

Chase's block and Jop's rebound were key to sealing the game

Yep, very likely a loss without Ross.

Very few tho

Assuming we dont go in the tank to mess with spreads.

Only Uconn is gonna be favored by more than 2.5 against us at the Garden. And in NCCA tourney I'd say like 5 teams that we likely dont face til deep.

[NickelDimer]

Not sure how many teams could watch a 20 point lead disappear on the road and have the backbone to stay the course and win. That was an awesome display of mental toughness.

[MUEng92]

It crazy that Nova's biggest lead was 4. When I was recapping the game for my wife I said MU was up by 20 then down by 10....it felt like down by 10.

Agreed. I'd love to be 2.5 or more point dogs in the NCAAs. Because it's probably a Final Four game.

Is the Pope Catholic?

[muwarrior69]

Ty's new nickname should be Pepto as he stopped Nova's runs.
