Excellent observation, JMSDawg.  It looked to me like they were playing through and around everything we were coached to do.  Mississippi State is such an overcoached team, and it's like Marquette was making a statement that sometimes the team that isn't as overcoached can sometimes be better.

I think above all they just have more offensive threats.  We had Holmes and Scott.... they have their strengths and is integral to last night's win, but they don't create their own shots as well as Marquette.   Marquette had 5 players who could do that... and that's just really difficult to hold down.  They could beat you anywhere on the floor.

If Danberry is considered an offensive threat now... we're taking Danberry and Bibby (not a great night for her) against 5 players.   Obviously, McCowan and Howard was the difference.  But they could only do so much defending guards who try to play away from them..... and they were able to get some blocked shots in.

Only really 6 players used by Vic.  I don't think that'll continue or anything, but just interesting he pulled a Geno this game - using only 5 or 6 players.
