Carton needs to keep this aggressiveness all year. Holy fuck is he good when hes on the attack. Youre the best player on the team, take 15 shots a game. I'll live with the misses.

Torrence has been a disappointment this year, but his absence is felt. He might be Derrick Wilson 2.0(without the D) right now. But hes at least a PG. McEwen at PG is a nightmare. It was last year, it still is this year. 4 TO's in the first half. He simply has to be off the ball(legit BE player when he is)

Carton should play 19.5 minutes in the second half. Anything less and we lose this considering the foul trouble.

Creighton is so fucking good.

Our D and length makes it tough on them a bit but they move the ball so damn well and play at such a quick pass that with their elite shooting they are naturally gonna score.

I love our defense but it aint good enough for this type of squad with how often we turn it over.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Sheesh. NOt much you can do when Ballock is making NBA bomb after NBA bomb.

Dude picks today to start shooting

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Lets fucking go!!!!!!

What a defensive effort. Carton and Elliot blacked out. Dawson stopped being a freshman in the second half. Koby and JL pitched in. What a fucking win.

We got up 12 and the game went from no fouls to a foul every time down trying to help Creighton. But we pulled that shit out.

This team is too inexperienced and sloppy with the ball(as evidenced by the TOs in our 2 losses) but our natural talent and athleticism will make us a bitch to play nightly.

Great win for Marquette last night.

I mean I said right at the beginning of the year that we would be jekyl and hyde but I didnt think that would mean that we play with 5th grade fundamentals and lose to every comparable team. While looking like grizzled vets vs the Top 10 teams.

SHU game is exactly like UCLA and OSU. Sloppy as shit. Cant sustain runs. Self inflicted killed momentum. If SHU was any good this year we would be down 25 right now instead its consistently 5-10 pts.

Lastly, fuck SHU. One team where I geniunely want their dirt bag players to get hurt. It comes down to coaching, WIllard is scum. Samuel looks like the next in a long line of guys who need their fucking asses kicked.

Jesus, beat Creighton on the road and turn around to get blasted at home to SH? What the hell?

The game was tied with 40 seconds left.....

Still played shitty though.

Didn't see it. I was checking on the score during the game. Thought I saw pretty big SH leads when I did.

Oh yeah it was consistently a 4-10 pt game. MU played terrible most of the night but SHU couldnt ever put it away. But every time we went on a mini 4/5-0 run they would hit shots to push it right back.

Eventually MU tied it with like 3.5 left. The two teams traded futile possessions for like 2.5 minutes til SHU hit the dagger.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Every game gonna be a battle, and that was another loss.

Let some fucking scrub named Kunkel have the game of his life....along with a career day from Scruggs.

Made a spirited comeback in the final minute with some Koby heroics. But yet again the them of the day was inability to grab rebounds. Dagger.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

"Marquette is playing well aside from.........the turnovers". That is a quote every. single. game.

God is it annoying.

0/5 at the line and a shit ton of turnovers. Will never beat NOva, or any competent team.

And it wont stop happening.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Collin Gillespie is literally good at 1 thing when hes looking to score for himself........shooting 3s.

Our game plan is to zone and let him shoot about 15 tonight.

Fucking mental.

 

[jontaejones]

Damn. Jay Wright positive for COVID...

 

[mr.hockey4242]

At this point. A win is a win.

Thank god Gtown blows.

I watched them go completely inept against Nova in a couple weeks ago. This somehow topped that.

 

[Tomhusker]

Jays putting it to SH tonight. When this team is on, they are really good.

 

[jontaejones]

What a fantastic play Xavier drew up to win that game.

That play was incredible.

Michigan putting on a clinic vs whisky this afternoon

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Marquette vs Gtown for Wednesday is PPD due to Gtown Rona issues.

Uconn vs Xavier for Wednesday PPD due to X rona issues.

It is an egregious fail on the part of the BE if Uconn and MU do not play on wednesday. Uconn has already had like 8 games PPD, pretty easy solution when both teams already planned to play on this day.

And if the BE is as dumb as they appear, MU is also dumb if they do not try and contact a team like Drake about coming here Wednesday. We banked a buy game for a reason. Drake due to the silliness of this season is a Q1 opportunity right now. Go and get it.
