Marquette Post Game Thread

[TheChamps990411]

what would you think about the combined performances of Solo, Alex, and Braylon going 6-31 (3-17 3pters)

Thats game. You cant win games with all 3 of those guys not showing up.

Marquette just pushed UConn, and UConn did not respond with physicality. I think it was more on the players.

Not bullet proof

Not bullet proof

Not bullet proof, but I think we've seen our bottom on 3-pt shooting as a team.

First, Mullins might be better at catch and shoot and if left alone for like 4 seconds at 3 then dribble shoot (rhythm). At least last night it seemed that way. Likely seen his bottom of 3pt pct as well. Maybe hit a few in the arc for a little.

Second, AK - he's having a pretty good year at the 3 and while yesterday he was reminiscent of 2024-2025, it likely is the worst we'll see

Third - we really missed Stewart. His presence and 4-10 pts but good rebounds and good bodying out is what we needed. That would have let the guards not sag on the 3s.

This is how a UConn team is supposed to treat an inferior conference opponent. 😂

Silas doesn't seem to be the guy.

We were so "off" today.

Thats because he is not. If you have to Alex wait for a PG OR Aany guard to come get the ball down 2 with 13 seconds left, well thaf about sums up the game, big east title and season to a degree.

That seemed like a coaching game.

Why did we stop running the post pick and roll with Silas and tarris? They never had an answer.

Prob a game to play Malachi and Silas together. Malachi prob has the size and speed to stay in front of James.

Maybe have Mullins stop shooting 3s when he is 1/10.

Malachi can't stay in front of anyone. Granted, neither could Silas this game, but Malachi is not the answer. He was awful, which is why Hurley couldn't play him in the second half.

Apparently winning a share of the big east regular season title wasn't that important to them. Hey, if they end up winning another natty all this will be forgotten, but you have to wonder if they will be able to play with urgency in the tourney. There's still time but boy was that disappointing.

I am going to finally jump in with my two cents.

The turnovers were awful. Marquette did a nice job on defense, but we were too sloppy with the ball.

We shot 3-23 from deep. The vast majority of them were fantastic looks. Almost all were by our best shooters. We make three more and it’s still a terrible shooting night but we win the game. An average night from deep and it’s a double digit win. Shooting games like that happen, not often but they do and you almost lose every single one of them. It’s not like we shot 40 3’s on the game.

Take some lessons learned, flush all the misses, and move on.

I don’t care what anyone says, with our talent we are still a national championship contender. That’s all I want going into every March.

Go Huskies.

They carry around cardboard cutouts of trophies with them. Saying it’s not important is a cop out. It obviously is.

Their system and roster construction is what is failing them. It’s why we nearly had 5 other losses as bad as the one Saturday. They have whiffed on too many people they thought highly of leading to no bench, haven’t developed 3-4 year players, and we run an offensive system where a team even with Clingan/Castle etc get outshot at the free throw line by 15 because we just dribble/screen/cut launch a 3.

Playing with urgency hasn’t been a problem. Doing it for 40 minutes? Well yeah. They don’t do that.

Look this game was in the making for a while. Georgetown, Providence, Butler, Hall, all these games they miraculously pulled out in the final minutes. This time the other team made the plays and we didn’t. We could have lost a few earlier but didn’t. And for those who point to St John’s, if you look at our recent body of work, Marquette is more reflective of how we have played than that blow out.

Do you not understand sarcasm?

Way too much stupidity took over this thread within an hour when I posted it. I should've locked it a long time ago.

It's now locked.
