We may have trouble with on-ball defending vs. Marquette…

I would love to see how they do against a zone.

Hopefully Ross is the defensive juggernaut everyone is calling him, because not sure who defends Jones. He is just so quick and has amazing footwork. He’s literally taking over in this UMD game down the stretch.

Marquette is fairly pedestrian outside of him, but they play fast and hard. Joplin is not good - I’d let him shoot it as much as he wants.

Marquette looks good against very talented Maryland squad

Ross has been overextending and getting burned by low D1 teams. He recovers but he won’t vs. good opponents.

We are a work in progress and especially Ross.

About 2 min to go, down 6 and Maryland fans heading for the exit.

These two teams are trying to out-choke each other.

Marquette trying to give this one away

Same fans doing the “hey, you suck” chant. Is that the best they can do? Absolutely corny.

Hooray for the Big East. Nice job Marquette

DePaul shellacks Duquesne. Like 5 point favorites, win by 26.

 

[Supes]

DePaul looks like a legit Big East team. Great to see.

Butler, DePaul, and Marquette win.

Villanova loses.

31-6 (2-1).

vs ACC: 1-1
vs Big Ten: 1-0

Five bad losses: Villanova 2x, Seton Hall 2x, and Seton Hall

Yeah. BE teams would be foolish to overlook DePaul. Looking past DePaul could result in a loss.

 

[HooperScooper]

Chris Holtmann seems like a legit coach.

Biggest coaching gamble in college basketball: Why Chris Holtmann decided to take a chance on lowly DePaul

After his firing at Ohio State, Holtmann took the worst power-conference job in basketball. Why? Because the payoff could be career-defining

Seems like a good time to remind people that Holtmann has 4 top 20 KenPom finishes.

Coach is doing something right over there. They look like a team with a plan every possession.

You forgot a Butler loss to Austin Peay in there.
