Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4145892, member: 1329"] First half we had pretty good offense overall. Some transition, a couple pick and roll feeds. Some Adama (though his first 2 shots were rushed). Martin picking his spots well. Abusing their white PG Kolek on switches. Martin hit a big 3 as time expired at the half to offset a mini-Marquette run to close the half. Marquette was also kinda getting whatever they wanted against us. A few blown defensive assignments and miscommunications on switches (Adama, Jackson, Martin all guilty). 2nd half we built a lead with defense forcing a couple transition opportunities, Akok hitting his 2nd 3, and Cole taking over a bit (3, midrange pullup, and-1 in transition). Marquette slowly climbed back into it by grinding us on defense, getting really physical, and posting up Justin Lewis on offense who was beasting over and through Whaley. Due to their D, we started settling for 3's and missed 5 in a row, a couple, despite a couple of them being wide open. They cut it to 1, then we traded FTs for buckets for a bit, and it was at 2 when they missed a wide open dunk underneath the basket. Hurley started doubling Lewis and that shifted Marquette's offense in a different direction. Then Cole hit a big shot and Martin hit a couple, and we won somewhat comfortably despite a bunch of tight play down the stretch. [/QUOTE]
