Marquette Post Game Meltdown Thread

[Giddyup5]

They just executed better down the stretch.

Sanogo played poorly

Perhaps would have liked that zone earlier in the game and go back to man for crunch time.

I imagine that can be Jackson?

Jackson isn't going to be guarding the other teams PG every night. We need a real PG, particularly on defense. Someone like Diarra that can hit a shot and give up 7-10 points a game.

 

[Greathusky]

When your best players disappear from the radar on the road, you have to question the toughness of this team.

I’m totally good with someone like Diarra as a backup point guard, as long as our starter can score the rock.

 

[Palatine]

Marquette concentrated on taking away the three and not worrying about Sanogo until he got the ball. And it worked. I think we will see more and more of that.

 

[CheshireCat]

Maybe Sanogo can still win Big East 6th man since he should be coming off the bench?

 

[UncleSpliff]

So tired of the Danny Hurley road losses. Does anyone know his BE road record against teams not named DePaul and Georgetown the past 5 years?? Gotta be 20%. Guy screams mid.

 

[Brochacho]

We’ve underperformed in every Big East game. Florida, Oregon and OSU are all mid. It is what it is - team just isn’t as good as we thought.

This has nothing to do with “toughness” or “heart”.

 

[EnochRoot]

The problem UConn faces isn't just that Clingan is a better, prototype 5 that can flat-out dominate a CBB game, it's that they lack the PG to exploit that talent.

 

[UconnFanDC]

4-3 in BE standings. Lossing on the road to the top 3 teams in the BE. Sigh

On a positive note, Uconn women have been playing very well short-handed.

 

[AuRevoirAAC]

And we won’t get another crack at it this season. The drought will sadly go 10 years…

 

[jibsey]

Winning on the road in this league is apparently hard. Remember 2011? This league is tough. I know we don’t have Kemba but the level of the top teams is there.

 

[Mister P]

Friendliest people in the Midwest
More like the friendliest rims and backboards in the Midwest.

I can’t remember a game that had so many shots hit all parts of the rim and end up finding the bottom of the net.

 

[aburks41]

Newton has to be better. He’s been killing us lately. Not the main issue, but a big one

 

[HailUConn]

DC made a double double look easy. Need more minutes.

I wonder if going forward, we can just dole out minutes for whoever has hot hand on a give night. Seems to me it’s a winning formula.


As soon as Sanogo in for Dc, our 9-0 run erased.

[Sandeman]

100%. Clingan needs to play more.

 

[superjohn]

Clingan is incredible and Karaban is really good. Our "big three" is overrated, it's way too easy to blanket Hawkins and crowd Sanogo and Adama is a major downgrade defensively compared to Clingan and Whaley. Point guard play remains the biggest problem.

I keep waiting for Hurley to breakthrough and start winning some of these road games and it just doesn't happen. We're always the ones on our heels.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Can we make it 10 years without a road win against a top 25 team?

That's locked up. We don't play another top 25 team away this year

 

[rman726]

Better coach wins. Dan was in a deep sleep during the runs and refused to make any changes through the various Marquette runs. It took him 30 minutes to realize that Clingan is simply a better matchup against Marquette than Sanogo.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Some of y’all haven’t been through the gamut of a competitive Big East and it shows.

 

[Kitaman]

I just want to win one close road game. To me, at least one of these three was winnable.

Brutal road stretch for sure but we're a top 10 team and should have snatched one of our losses.

SMH

You saw that too?

 

[Salty Dog]

We lost on the road to three ranked teams, who also lead in the Big East standings. I'm not worried. Let's defend home court. I expect us to run the table over the next 7 until @Creighton February 11th.

 

[Punkbo]

I thought we were fine tonight. Too many turnovers, but just a tough loss on the road against a good team. Same as the X loss although the Hurley T was frustrating in that one. The only game that really bothered me was Providence. If we can hold serve at home against X, Providence and Marquette, we’ll be fine.
