Marquette game thread

[johns79]

Another great second half comeback win. Marquette didn't look like an 8-14 team. When Clark is on, he dominates the game. Rivera important contribution. Great clutch 3 by AJSM.

A good defensive team does not give up 40 in 1 half with offense shooting 67 from 3 on 12 attempts.

This team does not score and shoot in a free and easy way on offense. Eventually the fairy dust is gonna run out on comebacks.

I didn't see the first half to speak to the context of their 3 point shooting in this specific case (perhaps we did play poorly and leave them wide open every time), but I'd argue that hitting 3s at an unsustainably high rate is the primary way to put up a big number against a good defense.

That's a Legit PG!

Survived another one by playing very well in the second half. What an odd quirk.

Glad to see it!

Get budd a capable backup next yr assuming he stays

The Big East is down on top this year but there are no really bad teams. Every game is a dog fight. The BET should be fun.

Have to mention, the driving bounce assist to Payne by Budd....was a thing of beauty.

Budd was excellent the past two games overall. But we need to figure out first half doldrums. The status quo won't work in March.

The BigEast schools would beat a lot of college teams out there.

Take Williams out of this game!

Sha must have heard you

that was a steal not a tie up, and we never ever ever get "bumped" during our layup attempts for the AND 1

I'll agree with you there

 

[PiratePride]

Bro the last thing we wanted is a tightly called game with how physical we play. The refs have been pretty good letting them play for the first 25 minutes. Lets hope they don't get whistle happy over the last 15

they made some awful calls towards the end of the game.... well, not they

 

[PiratePride]

Need Perimeter Defense to take this game.

They denied them the three for the better half of second half and stopped them cold on D

 

[PiratePride]

ASM has gone into the witness protection program.

and then he struck for that last big time three

Glad you mentioned that play..... PERFECTO!!!! ...... by both of them

Boy, do we ever need him in the game..... he's out and we are a TO machine

The most awful call I saw was on Hines and they gave the guy 2 shots. It should’ve a foul on the floor as he clearly put his shoulder into the Marquette player on the drive

I have a feeling that the ref who got hurt at Nova last night was supposed to work in Newark today and one of the other two was a fill-in. Probably not Farrell but the other guy.

Give him an offer, he can't refuse.
