Marquette Post Game Thread

[temery]

I posted I love this team back in December. A month later in January it was bumped asking if I still felt the same. I wasn’t able to respond because it was locked (probably because someone dug it back up). I posted a new thread to answer it, but that was deleted. This was about 2 weeks ago I’d say.

'First one was locked because it was a two month old thread. Never saw the second one, unless it was merged with the game thread.

Sorry.

One of those games where we had everything rolling and they didn’t. Let’s hope that rolls right thru March.

And Sanogo is still getting his. Thought Sanogo's mindset (less forces, moving the ball quicker), handling the ball, and passing were all really good tonight.

We started winning since (among a few things) we stopped force-feeding the post up.

Tonight Alleyne was the difference between a five point win and the final result. Way to go Nahiem!

I’m making fun of the people who say Hurley doesn’t know how to coach. He must have learned overnight!

Yes Hurley took an online course in BB coaching yesterday. §…}]¥+;/&#&.

No worries! It probably should have been deleted. Still though. I’m Chuck O in good times and bad and that’s what matters.

I still can’t believe UConn lost to St. John’s. That is such a brutal loss. UConn would still be in the mix for a 2 seed if they hadn’t lost that game.

I'm starting to believe the legal weed explanation for that one.

Im thinking either hangover, or bad cheeseburgers.

Is Springs injured? He wasn't in uniform

Bingo!

 

[Palatine]

Clearly Hurley thinks that Alleyne can help us because he keeps giving him minutes. It paid off tonight.

I've been waiting for this Alleyne game all year. The biggest game and he was a stud. Love that dude

 

[Valleyfan]

Loved the impressive energy level tonight. They came out and balled. All participants contributed in meaningful ways. A couple things to work on, but it was refreshing that this game’s outcome was never in doubt. When they play their game, watch out.

 

[ElGreco]

Newton is the key.

Absolutely. He was key tonight and the missing link. Hawkins, Karaban & Newton scoring with our strong rebounding make us NC contenders-again.

 

[ValleyGuy]

UConn looked energized! Maybe being back on campus with students has got these kids loose again. Put that team on the 4 line and every 1 seed will be sweating.

 

[Captbluefin]

Big credit to Hurley he used his timeouts at the right time.

The timeout when they stole a couple inbounds and hit a three was perfectly timed.

 

[ElGreco]

There were so many key things that fed this win

1. Alleyne had his best game of the season, on D and on O
2. Newton handled the pressure well, drove the ball, found open people (who hit the shots) and helped tremendously on the boards
3. Karaban was his usual, unselfish, high BBIQ self, being in the right place and hitting shots.
4. Sanogo wasn't a black hole, made some shots but also found open shooters, including that sweet dime to Alleyne on the back cut
5. Jackson could play his game because of better player and ball movement, so his guy couldn't just track the ball and double. And he made some incredible plays on the boards.
6. Getting them in a little early foul trouble in the 1st half helped. And we didn't foul much except the final 3 minutes of that 1st half.
7. This was a 25 point win if Clingan didn't miss some of his bunnies and free throws. He'll get it, and when he does, wow.
8. Hawkins. Just, Hawkins.

Well said

This was a real complete team effort tonight. Demolished them on the boards and with assists. Got off to an early lead and stomped them every time they tried to get back into it. Closed it out without letting them get back in. Especially happy they were able to do this in Hartford. I think the crowd had trouble believing what they were seeing. We need them to be more like Gampel.

Kam Jones and OMax average over 29 points per game.

Today they scored 8.

Fingers crossed the VT version of Alleyne is back and here to stay. That version is a great piece to have coming off the bench.

Yes! And Adama still is so effective without that

Come on Alleyne. Hurley needs those five point wins to satisfy the naysayers.

@JustbrewitMan this thread would be 12 pages right now if it was an L.

Amazing win. Our guards have become a strength. Love to see it.

Also, there’s a few “let’s see what h

More than 1 “let’s see what happens Tuesday” poster conveniently not around tonight.

Some people just love to be miserable.
