Marquette Post Game Thread

[HailUConn]

Good fight, tough loss. Half a glass full take, our future is bright with Alex Karaban. He is the only one who came to play other than Sanogo as starters.

 

[HobokenHusky]

Different game same story. Tight tight tight. No composure in tight spots. Said yesterday Karaban is the guy to take the must-make shot. Got dragged. Think he made two of them tonight, Hawk had several chances and becomes spastic. Joey C had several clean looks late. We have to start making some of those. Frustrating.

 

[Gutter King]

Karaban not enough shots. Not sure why...but he was the guy who needed to carry this game.

 

[Scoe]

This is unacceptable. There’s only one way to change perception and that’s to win in March.

 

[UCfor3]

No shame in losing to Marquette. Our 3 starting perimeter players played poorly. Joey missed 2 open looks. Would have liked a TO on last possession, especially without Andre pushing the ball and finding the open man.

 

[Huskyforlife]

The close game tightness has to be addressed somehow. You have to win close games in March.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Our defense was complete trash. And then when we’re rolling with a comeback (with Clingan of course) Hurley decides to cool the game off.

Ain't no Shaka, Danny was out Smarted.

Not really. It was a great chess match that saw the last two possessions with poor PLAYER execution....against the #6 team in the land.

 

[Dove]

Ain't no Shaka, Danny was out Smarted.

How so? Please explain without attempting humor.

 

[How Sway?!]

Hurley needed to call a timeout once Marquette set their defence. Can't blame him for Alleyne and Joey C not hitting pretty open 3s down the stretch

 

[phillionaire]

Lost a close game to a very good team, stuff happens. Let's dominate next week

Get outta here with your nuance and your reason!

Kolek is so good….

So good that I hate him. ( not really)
If he was in a Duke uniform, then I’d hate him(really)

 

[Viet Vet]

No point guard, no penetration, no set up for Hawkins (who is incapable of creating his own shot)………..no win.

Prediction: We don’t survive to the Sweet Sixteen.

 

[JMick]

Hawkins no-show. Bad FT shooting. Lost on defense until we switched to the zone. Some poor coaching decisions and some really bad play and it's amazing it was that close

 

[navery12]

2 captains no show.

1 captain. Sanogo had 19 and 11

 

[Giddyup5]

Guys we got 2 great looks for 40+% shooter.

 

[UConnSwag11]

we should’ve taken the lead with Clingan in the zone and we should’ve won

 

[CardiacAndre7]

lmao every piling in on Hawkins, when Hurley cooled the game off by taking Clingan out. After he benched him for almost 25 minutes

2-11. 1-8 from 3. Bad defense too. Him and AJax didn’t step up. They better next week, no excuse to play like that again this season.

 

[Palatine]

We're a very good team.
But we are not a very clutch team.
And Marquette gave us chance after chance.

 

[UConnSwag11]

1 captain. Sanogo had 19 and 11

His defense was atrocious

 

[bazz&boujee]

Free throws.

 

[nomar]

I don’t mind losing by 2 to a good team. I mind having 20 straight horrible possessions.

If we wanted someone to dribble the shot clock down to 5 every possession we should have just kept Gaffney.

Look at what Marquette shot from the field. We didn’t lose bc of Hawkins.

 

[Dookie_Stomper]

I don't post much on here. Mainly a lurker but I'm so upset we didn't call a T.O I just had to vent!
