Message: [QUOTE="Gutter King, post: 4902530, member: 4789"] I really like how Hurley used this game (outside of the last 4 minutes). -Ballsy not calling a TO on Marquette's early run. Basically saying "Alright fellas, this is on you to figure out". And they responded, dare I say, in a championship manner. -Went out of his way to get JStew more minutes. I think this is very wise in the grand scheme of things. JStew rebounded and defended (that block!), as we know the golden ticket to PT. -Whenever we needed anything at a specific moment, Karaban was there. Just an incredible winning basketball player. -this game would not have been close if we didnt biff it so bad at the rim. I counted 14 points left at the rim on missed layups, bad hands (SJ was brutal), and an unkind rim on a couple of Castles misses. -Rough offensive game for Castle, but his Defense is a sight to behold...just complete velcro. His first foul that came with 3 seconds on the shot clock pissed me off hard. That was the first of unreal bailouts by the refs on back to back defensive possessions. What a stud putting those two FTs down to close this thing. Overall good enough effort. A game we should have put 90 in easy with the missed layups and the four completely wide open looks at 3 in the last seven minutes. [/QUOTE]
