Point guard play (and the no-PG lineup)

[Mike Honcho]

A couple things...

• Props to Hass for gutting it out through injuries. He was clearly not himself last night, and yet he still started us off on the right foot with that 3 to start the game, and had 7 assists in 25 minutes. Smart for Shaka to have Kam target Hass in the 2nd half, and good on Hurley for adjusting with the no-PG lineup, defending him with Ross, who played great defense.
  • I've watched this specific play and probably like 10x. It's a work of art that the entire team executed to perfection, but especially Hass's pass.
    
    
• If you had told me we'd trot out a no-PG lineup against Marquette for 8-10 minutes, I would have predicted 35 turnovers in the game against Marquette's aggressive ball-hawking defense. While we absolutely struggled handling the ball (JStew with 6 TOs), I thought they heeded Hurley's advice wisely and made Marquette pay for their aggressiveness, instead of playing not to turn the ball over.
  • It's possible I was seeing things, but the no-PG lineup looked great on the defensive end. Would love to see the stat splits.

Im especially surprised the no-pg lineup worked without Liam. Might be our saving grace come BET and March madness.

Great way to get some size in the lineup and utilize our logjam at the 3/4

Would like to see us rest up Diarra and try Ball /McNeeley backcourt with Stewie , Karaban and a big
