For those keeping track at home: another close game we can’t win.
This. Both the players and their coach seem to get awfully flustered in important situations. I am hopeful about the tourney, but it’s easy to see a close loss happening to a team we should beat.We're a very good team.
But we are not a very clutch team.
And Marquette gave us chance after chance.
A timeout gives the defense a chance to set up too. Going off the rebound lets you get a look in transition, semi-transition, a broken play, whatever. I don't mind that.You can’t take the timeout home. What on earth is Hurley thinking? Just terrible execution. Hawk and AJax didn’t step up when we needed them. They were both very, very poor. We just don’t have a killer instinct.
That didn't matter at the end. The end was player execution.Who took Clingan out and didn’t play him again?
Horrendous execution down the stretch again, it's a terrible pattern ever since Hurley took over. No points our last 5 possessions and we weren't even close on them. Can't have total no shows from Hawkins and Jackson like that.
Congrats to Marquette, they earned it.
I knew he was going to have a bad game when he missed both FT to start the game. The moment was too bigAJax continues to be an enigma. Was he just too amped up? Tough to win with him on the bench 90% of the game
We are like #300 in luck...it showed a lot tonightOutcoached, but also thinking about all the prayer 3's that dropped for MU that was the difference
????Tough loss. Can’t blame the refs, I thought they called it both ways. They were a little better tonight.
Kolek should have fouled out with a little over a minute left. We had at least four fouls called on us after a defensive rebound with far less contact than Kolek trying to shove Newton out of bounds.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)
Hugely disappointing game from him. He really looked like he turned the corner and was dominating games for long stretches but then late second half yesterday happened and this game happened.AJax continues to be an enigma. Was he just too amped up? Tough to win with him on the bench 90% of the game
We wouldn’t have had to worry about that be we had Marquette on their heels and had the momentum. We have had this conversation the entire season about Hurley and his choose of not playing ClinganThat didn't matter at the end. The end was player execution.
