This team is firing on all cylinders!

[Jaker]

Are they better then last years team?? We shall see.

I take issue with "firing on all cylinders". IMO, they weren't. Which means it will be truly scary when they do.

There’s no guarantee they ever will. Which makes it all the more refreshing to know they won’t need to

 

[DaMuttzNutt]

It’s hard to say, after you dominate the #4 team in the country by 25 that you actually aren’t but it’s true.

Firing on all cylinders would have given us 3-4 more 3 pointers at a minimum and Castle having a bigger game 5-8 more points

All cylinders today could hav been 40

 

[Chin Diesel]

A very Norman Dale type observation.

 

[Hunt for 7]

I don’t even know how many cylinders they have. More than I thought, that is for certain.

Two - one on each end of the court.

Pretty complete victory though:

Agree, though, that it wasn't us at our best. Adding normal contributions from Karaban and Castle makes us even more scary.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Look how many times Marquette went dry. Looked like a staircase.

 

[Tenspro2002]

We won by 28 without an exceptionally hot shooting performance. Nothing about that felt fluky, with the exception of maybe getting a disproportionate number of loose ball bounces.

They only started hitting 3s after the game was well in hand. If... if they hit the open 3s they had all game at a normal clip... wow.

 

[Hunt for 7]

Two - one on each end of the court.

Then the defensive end was firing on all cylinders. That was elite stuff.

I think. And I am a bit tired right now. The game changed when Hurley called them out for their lack of rebounding. MU had five offensive rebounds in the first few minutes. Then 5 the rest of the game.

That was definitely the turning point. They responded well to Hurley calling them out on that and never looked back.

This game was over when it was clear Kolek could not deal with Castle and Diarra. They shut him down and that in turn took Marquette out of what they like to do offensively. The nail in the coffin was Clingan. It was a wrap once they had no answers for either problem.

 

[rman726]

Clingan was shooting 3s in the layup line, and he was actually hitting them all. Waiting for that to come out in game… lol

 

[sledog]

Ferarri V-12

 

[jibsey]

Ball and player movement to get the best shot. Beautiful thing to watch, it really is. Hurley and his coaches are hoop geniuses.

 

[61cygni]

Shooting can come and go. The effort with the rebounding and defense is something they can always bring. Special, special team

 

[VA Blue Dog]

28 Points, greatest margin of victory in an AP TOP-5 Conference game. 4th largest beat down ever in the last 20 seasons in AP Top-5. Lot to be said on the stats showing how this team is performing better than last year's. Too many unselfish weapons.
