Mate, they are two percentage points away from each other.

Stevens went 1-10 today. Calm down rofl.

Adrien was at 39.6% for the season and 41.9% in Conference.

Nigel at 35.7% for the season and 38.6% in Conference.

But ok.

I'd suggest waiting for the latest game to update the stats. Guess whos absolutely not shootingg 39.6% anymore.

Nigel was 2-9, so it's not like the ranges are going to change too much.

Is there a link to the post game presses ?

I can't say I was looking forward to the possibility of playing UConn again. When a team pulls a huge upset over a clearly superior opponent, the probability of coming back in a couple of days and beating them again is lower than the probability of beating them the first time.

I'll bet right now they won't be 3 for 21 on three-point shots tomorrow.

They were never going to win the game. Doesn't mean I don't want the opportunity.

Hopefully this was the last game we will ever see Hamilton in a Marquette uniform.

We lost this game with the 9 and 8 point runs by Xavier when Hamilton was in the game....

That is like giving Xavier a 17 point spread....

A Xavier player in the first half came down one on three....James....Chase....and Hamilton....Hamilton moves away from the "contest" and let Chase and James go for the "contest"....And James got one of his first half fouls.....Hamilton minimum should have done the "contest" and maybe taken the foul....He is supposed to be the RIM Protector.....So he cost MU 5 to 10 minutes of "non-James" in the first half besides his oomplete incompetence when on the floor......

That is on Shaka.....

This did not happen. Hamilton played four minutes. He was -1 in the first half and -4 in the second.

Shaka has a lot to be blamed for, particularly depth-wise, but playing Hamilton and Tre spot minutes wasn't the problem. Missing a lot of shots was the problem.

Our eFG% was 50.0%, with few turnovers and a good day (for us) on the o-boards. We scored 1.14 ppp.

Problem was our defense gave up 1.16. You could make an ugly montage of 18 (and Tre) giving up baskets last night. Ooofta.

Our Daughter told us Last Year Marquette Beat Xavier in the Big East Tournament 89 to 87
This Year Marquette Lost to Xavier in the Big East Tournament 89 to 87. Exact same Score reversed.

Tre Norman was especially bad defensively.  He gave up 3 uncontested layups in less than 2 mins.  His offense wasn't much better. 

For all the things I like about Shaka, taking 40 3s in any game, with this roster, should never happen. 

I just made my season ticket deposit for next year.  So, there's that.

In what universe is -5 in four minutes acceptable? Marauette lost by two points and was -5 in four minutes. Do the math. He was targeted the moment he came in the game with his No. 1 vulnerability, a back cut. Next time down the floor, his man easily blew past him for a layup. The momentum instantly shifted from Marquette to Xavier. Period.

I am not suggesting that Hamilton is good. I am saying that Marquette did not give up big runs as soon as Hamilton entered the game. Burger said it more than once, and it is completely inaccurate.

And I will place more blame on others who were on the floor longer.

What?  When he came in in the 2nd half, the team immediately gave up like 8 points, and 6 of them were Cade out of position.

Nope.

The only time 18 played in the second half was he checked in at 15:07 and Marquette was up 48-47. He checked out at 13:37 and they were down 51-48.

This is accurate, both baskets were him getting beat though.

in 4:22 of playing time his +/- was -6.

[The Sultan]

Correct. But there is no need to exaggerate. People are piling on a guy who played 4:22 (thanks Billy) is pretty ridiculous.

[BM1090]

Yep. Our freshmen backcourt playing like freshmen and poor shooting were much bigger factors.
