Marquette Post Game Thread

[inWV]

1. Banked another week for Liam to recover and put a win on the ledger.
2. Huge dose of confidence for Ross and Stewart.
3. Nobody shit their pants when Hass and Mahaney were In Foul trouble.
4. Kara an hit a 3 pointer.

Nice to see AJax watching on in attendance. Can we get him to more games? Seemed to be a good luck charm.

Cam Spenser was behind the bench as well

Marquette fans will have nightmares of this guy.

There’s plenty of guys that can shoot in the NBA. Can people still hang on with just that? Actually a legit question. Don’t watch enough NBA to know.

Its not just shooting - profiling as an elite shooter. League average in the NBA is 36%. Solo is pushing 46% on almost 7 attempts a game.

How the hell can a team win with 25 turnovers?

Has an underdog team ever won against a top 20 team on their home court, while having 25+ turnovers? A historic first?

Like Cuse fans had with Ray Allen

Thank you Solo!

 

[blkknight1]

Rashad had big hoop to send game to OT. I was there and pumped for hours. Solo with more hoops tonight but reminds many of us of Rashad.

OHH, GOODNESSS, ONIONS!!!

 

[Umami Zen]

Nice to see us play a first half with energy and urgency. Best first half of the year.

 

[Marat]

What a night!

This team is going places ! Watch out as Gus said at end of game

 

[Palatine]

The boys are back in town.

How could anyone complain about Gus Johnson he was awesome, spoke very highly of Hurley and our team.

Love big game Gus

Samson continues to to grow even this late into his career. Continues to finish in more and more creative ways, playing better defense, fouling slightly less. And he's seemingly become a pretty reliable free throw shooter. We love to see it!

I couldn’t agree more, he has improved in many ways this season

 

[Chin Diesel]

It's Saturday night and most of have had some libations. Ball just destroyed Marquette tonight in Milwaukee. So, is it Dual Ball since he dropped a pair, or is it Triple Ball for all those nothing but net 3's tonight?

 

[Karmacop]

Cam Spencer was behind the bench as well

They can rotate games then. Even better. But one of them needs to show up on Friday.

 

[superjohn]

I think so. Hawkins had a pretty stroke and we called him baby Ray but percentage wise Solo is killing it

Solo is a better shooter than Hawk.

 

[RuffRuff]

Ray shot 44.5% from 3 his sophomore year (46.6% his junior year). That was on 85/191 volume. Ball is at 45.6% on 67/147 after tonight.

Wild.

It really is. It’s gotten to the point where if he gets a clean look, it feels like it’s going in. I did not think this was his profile coming out of HS.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Tres bolas

[Rashad Anderson has entered the chat]

I believe Calhoun recruited Rashad specifically to shoot Syracuse out of their zone.

 

[uconngb]

Have to mention Ross. Man he makes almost every shot hard for the man he is guarding. Looking into his junior year we may see something NBA level with him. He clearly has all the tools.

He is learning, on that drive late in the game he saw the pass and started the ball rotation while he was driving into the lane.

Stewie is an off the bench microwave player IMO. With Liam back Hurley has options do we need offense It’s Stewart, do we need defense it’s Ross. The pieces are starting to fit.

It pretty exciting if we can maintain this level.

Ross was much better on defense tonight but I’d pump the brakes on the NBA talk. He’s still a non entity on offense

Weird but your post made me think of the John Wick movie when the father of the son said John Wick is who you send when you want to kill the Boogeyman.

What a night!

What a night!

GET IN

 

[temery]

Turnovers ...

I vaguely remember Jim Calhoun, making a player carry a basketball around with him all day to classes - everywhere he went.

 

[Dove]

Love big game Gus

Wish you loved the 'skies as much. You were so down on them in 2nd half.

People can read the Chat for proof.

 

[RuffRuff]

I mean seriously.

I do agree with the post about Stew being best suited for a “microwave” role. Doesn’t seem to be able to sustain extended concentration to run the fundamentals over the long stretch, like taking care of the basketball. 6 turnovers in 22 minutes can’t happen.

 

[Dove]

Solo is a better shooter than Hawk.

Huh?!?

Shaka’s defensive game plan on AK was wild. Even when he set a screen and tried to flare out of it to the wing, they were grabbing a handful of jersey so he couldn’t disengage. Shaka is just made for the BE and the way this league calls games. Every MU game I watch, I understand why he didn’t make it at Texas. This style just doesn’t play nearly as well outside of the BE.

Definitely not built for the track meet that is the Big 12.

Seems to play pretty well in the NCAA Tournament

 

[Mike Honcho]

Whoever posted about Tyler Polley 21 second half points to beat Marquette with unconscious threes
must of had the right Mojo for Solo
who could we call on for St John’s

Here's my offering.
