St. John's / Marquette Game Thread

[gsmooth]

SJU with a better coach would definitely be tourney-bound. Plenty of talent and athleticism on this team, they just play like it's Rucker instead of D1 ball.

exactly. This SJU team is 18-14, but they should be 20 wins or above by now, especially with the cream puff soft OOC schedule they had this year.

Marquette showing very poor body language. SJU driving Marquette into dead zones on the floor. Kolek has nowhere to pass to. SJU frontcourt with no fouls. Beating up marquette on the boards. I'd be surprised if Marquette came back.

St. John's has a ton of dudes who can create their own shots. They don't really have great shooters, but when they get hot, they're hard to stop. That being said, Jones shouldn't really be taking 13 shots a half, so they have to be careful they don't start fizzling out in the second.

I have a hard time imagining Marquette is planning on taking 19 threes again next half, but we will see.

 

[Umami Zen]

St Johns has a bunch of guys that like to go to the hoop/layups.. Could create some second half foul trouble for Marq

 

[AzHusky]

that sure looked like a black hole. pass the thing out

 

[AzHusky]

whole different teams in this half so far.

Got the Ighodaro pick and roll going, defense has been better, suddenly just down 1.

BY jinx rearing its ugly head again. Not sure if its better for Marquette to lose to the Jonnies (possibly clearing them from the 3-line if the committee has them ahead of us) or for us to get a shot at them ourselves tomorrow

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Lunch duty done right.

Seen some VERY ugly offense from St. John's this half.

There was one possession in particular where they had 4 guys within about 10 feet of each other at the top of the key, got off a mediocre shot, Soriano outbattles 2 guys for the rebound and kicks it out, and then Addae-Wusu immediately jacked a 3 from like 5 feet behind the arc

 

[Edward Sargent]

St Johns isn't winning anything giving up that many wide open threes for contested midrange 2's

I'd be surprised if Marquette came back.

Congrats to Marquette.

Fewer three-pointers. More Soriano

Soriano with his 7th offensive rebound with 13 mins left in the game. Only thing keeping St. John's from falling apart this half as of right now

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Man, Kolek is fun to watch.

34% from the field, 44% from deep. SJU is an enigma.

they really are. They are like the Joker in the deck of cards.

Our team looked sleepy walking in, uh oh

 

[bigknight3]

UConn with the walk in shot...

Even our end bench players look ready to go!

I was looking at Yarin Hasson, he looked good to go even though he's not going to get playing time...

No need to get too high with the energy before you get to the court!

Haha different interpretations. You can talk me into team was focussed and saving their energy.

 

[temery]

Are tickets for the day, or game? Does MSG need to be cleared out before the UConn game starts?

Its two sessions of two games each

He's Drummond-ing a bit. Getting oreb but putting up contested putbacks that have little chance and then grabbing those offensive rebounds too. Missing again, so empty trip, but 2 orebs.
