Marquette Post Game Thread

[Huskyforlife]

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

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.

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!

 

[Mister P]

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!

 

[XStorrsion]

Starting guards 4/21 in their last Big East tournament game

 

[yungdowork]

Pretty tough loss after we scrapped our way back in to it. On the other hand though, Joey had two good looks from 3 to win that game despite Hawkins and Newton combining to go 4-20 and Jackson having almost no impact.

 

[Jbirdp5]

Ain't no Shaka, Danny was out Smarted.

I think Hurley countered very well in the second half, the zone slowed them way down… we missed too many shots, you just say a cute line with nothing behind it

 

[jibsey]

Shooting 3s when we need 2 at the end.

We wanted the win, ok? we had looks and didn’t convert. On another note Hawk is hot and we beat them. As we did recently.

 

[uconnfan68]

Ain't no Shaka, Danny was out Smarted.

Just has clueless players. They got lots of open 3s. Poor communication.

 

[k-walk]

Somebody update the close game record

 

[CardiacAndre7]

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

Well, if he just plays bad instead of awful, we probably win.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

AJax continues to be an enigma. Was he just too amped up? Tough to win with him on the bench 90% of the game

 

[navery12]

Got 2 great looks for Calcaterra and he didn't hit either one. Tough way to go out

It’s so clearly mental at this point, brutal to watch. We were down 2 with 2 minutes left and I knew the game was over.

 

[Spaceman213J]

Don't get why we didn't see DC again. No player fears Sanogo when he's on defense. Hurley could even have put both of them out there for a bit. Would like to know the +/- differential was when DC was on the floor.
