Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4796718, member: 1414"] Kansas got outplayed all over the court. This will help them get better. Marquette contesting every pass is not a style you see often (even in the Big East). The last teams I recall playing that way regularly were the UConn Dream Team, Nolan Richardson Arkansas and some of Pitino's squads at Louisville. It's physically hard to do and high risk. KU lacks shooters and even then had a bad night, especially from the FT line. Timberlake not being at least Joey C level is hurting them. I also think playing a slow, easy Chaminade team the day before did not help. Marquette looks phenomenal, but I'm curious to see what Painter does against that pressure. A few fake passes and backdoor cuts and you can force Marquette to back off a bit. Preparation and execution will be key. They will be tough for us, but we are a much worse matchup for them than KU is once we get Castle back. [/QUOTE]
