Pur-didn't stop the triple double

[tower912]

1.  Chase after a steal, so good.
2.  Loyer and Smith are going to win a lot of games for Purdue.
3.  Owens looked a little more comfortable in the first half, compared to Friday.
4.  Wondering again what is and isn't a foul.  Sadly normal.
5.  Not the same rotations in the second half.  10 in the first half, 8 in the second.
6. Stevie is appreciated by knowers of ball.  Appreciate him while he is here.
7. How about that triple double?
8. One day, announcers will talk about what MU has and could be, and not about who left and perceived weaknesses.
9.  Wins over top 10 teams are fun.
 2-0 against the Big ?.  Hope MU doesn't drop too far in the polls.
10.  Staying home AND disruptive.  The defense may be better than last year.

Phenomenal performance. It feels like this team has at least one more gear they haven't reached and they still have one of the best resumes in the country.

[Goose]

Been waiting three years for a defense led program and well worth the wait. The Shaka 2.0 era is off to an outstanding start.

[MU24]

MU beat a top 10 team at home? Ahhhh better keep em at 15

-The people who rank teams

[The Sultan]

Two well coached teams. Fun game to watch. The defense was incredible. So connected.

[PGsHeroes32]

So fun.

[tower912]

The whole deflections thing is not just a cliche.

[mugrad_89]

The defense is already fantastic and will only get better as the season progresses.

[Skatastrophy]

Deflection culture

[tower912]

Tre and Zaide and Damarius are going to join the party as the season progresses. 

[Goose]

The defense is disciplined and relentless, a great combination in my book.

[Herman Cain]

Defense was Excellent

The Guys played great team basketball. So fun to watch.

Winning a non conference game against a Top 10 Opponent is great for the Tournament Resume 

[MuggsyB]

11 thefts doesn't suck.

[tower912]

Having a healthy Chase play starters minutes improves the defense.  Far more disruptive.  Longer, quicker.

[pbiflyer]

I dunno, so we beat a team where half their players look like their day job is at a craft brewery! 
That defensive effort by every one was incredible!

[Tyler COLEk]

Give some credit to Jop. So much made about his offensive game, but this guy has gone from a liability to genuine asset on the defensive side of the floor. His lateral quickness is night and day relative to earlier in his career.

[mileskishnish72]

Would have bet my IRA against an 18-point win. Fantastic.

[Scoop Snoop]

Damn that was fun! I love defense that drives the other team absolutely crazy. Mission accomplished.

[Jockey]

Been waiting three years for a defense led program and well worth the wait. The Shaka 2.0 era is off to an outstanding start.

Goose, this is a true Shaka team. Guys that play hard on both ends.

[Scoop Snoop]

The defense is disciplined and relentless, a great combination in my book.

Could not agree more Goose. Wow!

[Big Papi]

1. Great defensive effort.
2. We made a terrific player in Smith look pedestrian.
3. Happy to see Gold knock down some 3s, take the ball to the rim and fight on the defensive end.
4. Kam is unbelievable.
5. Add Chase and Stevie to Kam and that might be the best 3 guard lineup in the country.
6. I'll leave Jop alone tonight.  He played some good defense.

[DoctorV]

Best defense in the Shaka era, and we might be talking one of the historically best Marquette defenses by seasons end.
Relentless.

Defense travels.
58,62,62,63,74 allowed in first 5- much easier to win when you hold teams in the 60s and 70s.

Kam is amazing, historical night for him. Stevie was incredible again, as was Chase.
Perhaps the best 3 guard combo in the land?

Jop and Ben worked their butts off on defense. If their outside shots fall this team is ELITE.

There is talent on the bench too, both defensive and offensive.

Can't believe Shaka is doing it again, feels amazing

[Goose]

Jockey

I have loved every minute of the last three seasons but this is what I have been waiting for. They are relentless without being reckless. That is a defense that will frustrate many teams down the road.

[forgetful]

Really going to miss Stevie after this season. One of my favorite players of all time.

[Dish]

That was just a thoroughly enjoyable victory. Entire team played well, defense was spectacular, and the drama of whether Kam would get the triple double. I stood up when he passed it to Mitchell, trying to will in that basket.

Great moment and a team that is just damn fun to watch.
