Show me the player who played well on defense.

Chase played poor positional defense against Sellers at key points down the stretch while they were in the bonus.  Sent him to the line 3 or 4 times in the last threeish minutes of the game that gave them 8 points.

Chase was much better on the offensive end than defensive.  And we don't win the game without him of course. 

But Nigel James.  Wow. Best freshman I recall in my 40 years of being an MU fan.

Shaka for finally after 19 games getting the rotations right.

yes...but was hopeful Clark would get a few, and Phillips a little more.

Chase Ross fouling out was a helpful development. Just a turnover machine in the 2nd half and beyond. Gave PU free points with his painfully dumb fouls.

Nigel James for SOTG

Honorable Mentions Many Players played well. Also in the 2 Conference games Marquette has Won so far Ben Gold has made the  winning shot in both games.

1. Nigel

1a. The fans who watched

There weren't many of us in there, but was a great watch tonight and fun inside Fiserv, at least for those that didn't leave when PC got the rebound with 12 seconds left in regulation.

[brewcity77]

Oh...and obviously NJ.

[Zog from Margo]

30+ as a freshman is Markus Howard.

Great game.

38, 8 assists, 1 TO, 2 steals, 66.6% from 3 and 65% from 2. That's nuts.

Again Nigel James for SOTG

Agree! Parts of the crowd stood many times in regulation. In overtime like the entire crowd stood most of the time.

The best thing Ross did in the second half was foul out. Was hurting the team on both ends.

I'll say this about Ross, you can tell he cares and plays hard. He unfortunately is just way too inconsistent offensively to be "the man". He was much better as a highly athletic role player than he is as a guy trying to be one of the focus players on offense.

That is true about all our upper classmen.

Shame on me for missing that.  Clearly, my senses weren't working overtime. Well played.
