Marquette

[Big Fan]

I just looked at the Marquette box score - hardly any bench minutes. Did they ROTS - 105 points?

 

[Centerstream]

Sorry but what is ROTS?

 

[ME Husky Fan]

I thought it was run up the score but then that would be RUTS, but WTHK?

I watched the game. It reminded me of a Saturday morning rec league game where nobody plays any defense on either team.

Actually, the game was very physical and the refs did not call much of anything even when Morrow pulled Van Klunen down. Marquette was also unconscious from the floor at 66% and many of those where not “easy layups”. I am not saying those teams exihibited any “Niki like” Qualities bit it was not “ole’ type” defense either.

I think Marquette will be lucky to come close to 65 tomorrow.

Revenge of the Sith.

 

[huskeynut]

Both teams ran the court and there was little evidence of defense.

Did Marquette run up the score (RUTS) - no. They just kept running.

Don't think Marquette is going to come anywhere near 100 points tomorrow.

I didn't see the game, but: Marquette outrebounded DePaul 49-17?? Whassup with that?

 

[Centerstream]

Revenge of the Sith.

Still no idea what you mean. I watched the original 3 Star Wars movies but none of the "newer" episodes so I don't understand the correlation to (women's) basketball. But it's ok. I don't need a recap.

Morrow didn't have a double double, only 6 rebounds to go with her 29 points.

Yeah that was the first thing Coach Bruno mention was the rebound disparity, 49-17. Coach Duffy had a pretty good game plan with trying to limit Morrow on the boards today and Marquette was committed to that game plan.

 

[Glenn]

part of the rebound disparity was because Marquette shot so well there were no defensive rebounds for DePaul

It's a joke son, it's a joke!

Rots is a form of Music played in the 16th century in Eastern Europe. It had certain influence on the Blues music in early NOrleans and it traveled up the Mississippi to Chicago.

Taking a look at the minutes of the Marquette starters showed that they carried the load. I wonder if there will be some carry-over fatigue in today's game? In consecutive days can they run with us with our depth? If I am Geno I call out all of the hounds right out of the gates.

So over 100 points and only four threes?! Didn’t know that was even possible.

Didn’t need threes because DePaul only played one 6 foot+ player. Marquette will not have a size advantage against UCONN.

 

[Bills Fan]

Looking at the minutes of the Marquette starting 5, makes me pretty sure that Geno will push the pace until the Marquette starters say "Uncle." Look for a terrible 4th Qtr for them, altholugh they might be so far behind at that point that HC Duffy is already using her bench. To me, this use of minutes for the starters smacks of Marq. putting all their eggs in one basket (a big W against DePaul) hoping the Selection Committee notices and gives them an at-large bid.

If you’re playing DePaul who basically played an “Ole” defense yesterday, the game ends up being a layup drill for Marquette.

Against DePaul: 44/67 inside the arc,
Against UCONN (Feb. 23): 17/49 inside the arc

Rely On The Starters?

Bills Fan, Geno will push the pace until the Marquette starters say "Uncle." made me laugh giddily.

 

[eebmg]

Van Kluenen will know we are not DePaul the first time she is stuffed by {Liv, Dorka, Aaliyah}. For all of Morrow's gifts, post defense is not one of them.

Very intriguing take. Hmmm...

Me think's, watching that basketball track meet, that Marquette will be dragging ,in the end, in today's game with UConn. I concur, yesterday's play, was a 'Ploy' to impress the 'Selection Committee'.
