When Haywood first came on the scene, the word was he had an extra joint in each finger. Anyone else remember hearing that?

I thought that was Connie Hawkins...?

Big deal. Unk and Newsie enjoy extra joints daily, not to mention a bong or three!

We're going to lose tonight.  Hoping the team got measles

[MuggsyB]

Why the violence?

Not violence, total domination from the tip.  This isn't controversial at all.  MU has some big games coming up.  Destroy their will very, very, quickly.

Destroying human beings is a sin

weird line up here

[Mu8891]

Muggs - U really need to relax. Have a beer.  Take a Valium. It's game 2 against a team picked at / near the bottom of the
Horizon League ffs.

Good move by Shaka to play Fru and Clark together for a coupla stretches. I was pretty impressed how well they worked together.

Michigan starts two big guys in Thiam and Estrella. We might need sone twin towers time on Wednesday.

You mean, Michigan might need some twin towers on Wednesday?

Estrella is pretty soft

It seems that Marquette is plagued with poor shooting. We shot only 12 of 39 3PT for 31% and 8 of 19 FT for 42%. Apparently this coach is all defense with little to no emphasis on shooting. This a big character flaw of most Marquette teams - good athletes but poor shooters.

They don't shoot in practice.  In fact, they've been told they can't shoot even when working out by themselves.  If you watched the layup line before the games, they just dribble into the crowd

Shaka's stormtroopers.   Or, the A-Team.

93 points on 67 possesions

Where did you get 8 of 19 on FTs? We shot 7 of 10.

Probably from the sources JayBee uses

What does any of that have to do with "character"?

Also, your data is wrong.

[MUbiz]

On the year so far, MUBB is tied for 298th for 3p shooting percentage at 26.67%.

Going to be hard to beat the best teams shooting like that. Small sample size, but need to see that pick up starting tomorrow.

It's a character flaw.

Bring back Wojo. His teams could shoot.

[Uncle Rico]

I think shooting is a legit concern with this team.  Lack of it will lower the ceiling quite a bit.  If they can get to 30% plus, changes things for them.  3-point defense is often luck based, 3-point offense isn't.

[Shooter McGavin]

It is something to watch but at the same time, I would need to see a few more disastrous 3 point shooting games in a row to be really concerned.  Good news, is the other areas of possible strength this year (defense and rebounding) will give the team some time to hit their shooting stride.  I'll take 30% on Wednesday. 

[BrewCity83]

They shot well from three in the MSU "game".  Phillips hasn't been able to get hot yet, and he's shooting a lot of threes; once he finds his range, and he will, things will look much better.

[Johnny B]

Way to early to comment on the 3 pt shooting imo.

[tower912]

Yeah, that 60 point win was soooooooo last week.  That too small sample size that has Torvik putting MU #1 is nowhere near as relevant as the small sample size saying MU can't shoot.  Now is the perfect time to panic.
