Marquette

[Edward Sargent]

Dunno but they look like Tyler is the only player. Oso, Stevie etc look like crap! Not running anything taking crap deep 3s wtf!

 

[ucp990411]

Looks like the game plan is to play as fast as they can

 

[Drame]

Theyre playing so passively. No one is attacking except Kolek

 

[87Xfer]

Ugly thus far

 

[87Xfer]

Shaka is gonna have to play some solid D tonight

 

[Drame]

Jopplin has been horrible recently

 

[Edward Sargent]

The hefty fellow got ncst is already suffering. What’s with Oso though I thought he was better

 

[Edward Sargent]

Oso really

They are embarrassing themselves. Very much out of sync. Nothing’s working

He's done nothing the past 4 games.

 

[Stinger92860]

We are going to know about Marquette in the first 5 Of the 2nd half.

 

[auggie22]

4/31 from 3 for Marquette. I have never seen a shooting line that bad.

 

[Scott2Tate]

I know we beat them all 3 times this year, but that was NOT the Marquette team I’m used to seeing. No fight in them tonight at all

4/31 from 3 for Marquette. I have never seen a shooting line that bad.

They were missing wide open threes. All of them. It was odd.

I do like Diarra on NC State. He is what we thought Akok would be.

 

[Dibbie]

Darn them, just cost us $30K for the next 6 years!

 

[Edward Sargent]

Fell asleep that tells you a lot about this game . I won’t ever worry about MU again after this soft scheiz

 

[UConnJim]

4/31 from 3 for Marquette. I have never seen a shooting line that bad.

And, 14-23 on FTs and only 8 assists. They played poorly.

 

[TMB4405]

That was an awful game. NC state played poorly too. It seriously looked like Marquette was hung over.

 

[jibsey]

1 shot and done, killed on boards. 12% from 3.

 

[Stinger92860]

Shaka made no apparent changes during the game.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Oso's game took a nosedive about a month ago, and never recovered.

 

[UKemba15]

They looked wholly unprepared. Ice cold shooting, but really just didn’t look like they had a game plan other than “Tyler go do stuff please.”

 

[Blue Idiaco]

NCAA underperformance is why Shaka was fired at Texas, right? he had the one magical run t VCU and has been a dud in the tourney ever since

 

[Jimdish255]

You can't win these games if you don't hit your open 3's. They had plenty of chances. Sometimes it's not complicated.

 

[Gutter King]

Near the end of the first half they missed a dunk and Joplin missed all three FTs on a fouled 3pt shot. It felt over after that. It was full discombobulation pretty much the entire game, and Shaka didn't do anything about it.

Maybe change up the approach? They could have cut the lead to 4, but they missed 3 threes in a single possession.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Something more went down in this game than just Marquette having a bad shooting night. At best, hopefully it was just a late night of partying, or the flu, or bad calamari. Or something much much worse. Cuz something was way way off. That looked like a team playing a Sunday pickup game at the local Y after a late night out.

 

[Scoe]

Here’s why Marquette looked the way they did tonight. Was listening to Zolak and Bertrand today, had a caller who said that Marquette would beat UConn in the national championship, said Marquette only lost by 5 pts to us without Kolek. Wrong and of course convenientLu leave out the fact we beat Marquette by 35 with Kolek.

You upset the mojo gods and spew misinformation on top of that, of course fatso Bertrand and career loser qb riding Brady coattails Zolak never fact checked, and said how much they would love to see that.

What could he really do though? I guess he could've tried to speed up NC State more but they play slowly and don't turn it over. Tell his guys to stop taking wide open shots and stop throwing the ball into the crowd for no reason? They're not a bang it down low team and Oso stinks now.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we learn some Marquette players were on the take that game. It was that confounding a performance by some of their players and we're going to have scandals with the proliferation and constant promotion of sports gambling everywhere.

 

[uconnever]

I picked NC State to go to the final four just because the last team that won their conference tourney the way they did, won it all.
