Have upped it to 4.5 🫏 out of 5

Feels like we will get hot to start the second half and pull away.

I'm not sure Marquette will be able to overcome this deficit

X gets the ball to start the half.  Must stop them.  That last miscue by Lowry was costly.    Let's make adjustments and win this thing.   Goo Marquette!

Better win.  FYI, three of their starters, including their two bigmen and leading scorer have two fouls apiece.  Get them in foul trouble, Oso driving. They have no bench, all injured,  except that taller guy who made a three. Up nine with 40 seconds to go hurt.

Wow, what crapty play in 1st half.   It's on Shaka & team if they lose this very winnable game and have to face St Johns in MSG (who is chomping at the bit to destroy them) and then have to face UConn if they survive.  Very disappointing 1st half.

When Ross, Gold, Joplin and Mitchell score 3 points total, pretty weak

Good thing Jop got called for a foul or his line would be all goose eggs.

[GoldenEagles03]

Seems like the Kam/Oso game will be there all day.

I'd open the half looking for Joplin and Ross again. Give them a chance to be a part of the action and knock down open 3s and find out if they can trust anyone else down the stretch of this game.

Trailing by -4 is a big mountain to climb.

Hope Shaka has a good halftime speech to motivate them to fight back into this game

[AlumKCof93]

Jop has missed shots which happens.  What is not excusable is his failure to get back on D and challenge shots.  He's the only guy whose intensity I question.  So frustrating.

We need him.  He needs to play hard even when his shot is not falling.

It certainly feels that way after the closing seconds of the first half.

[MuggsyB]

Has Ross done anything defensively?

Yes.

He needs to get his head out of his ass,

It appears I was wrong.

[PointWarrior]

Turned it up well to start the half.

[PGsHeroes32]

Oliveri killing us.

[WolfganghisKhan]

Lmao

[CountryRoads]

Really playing a poor game.

[PGsHeroes32]

This is brutal.

Two good players

[GoldenWarrior11]

Lolololol

That's ridiculous. 2 fade away corner 3s. Unreal.

[MUEng92]

It's feeling like the home Butler game

[Zog from Margo]

Defense?

[Daniel]

Wow - totally out of sorts.   We are looking rattled.   Need to calm down.   Bad run given up to X.
