Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 2nd Round

[superjohn]

Kam is smoking lately and Marquette is really starting to fly around.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I think a few Colorado players think this is an AAU game.

 

[Ripper32]

10 for Colorado looks like a tough guard

He's paper tissue thin though.

 

[auror]

Good defensive end for Marquette there. Colorado has the talent to make a come back, so they have to keep attacking in the second half.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Marquette shooting 68% including 85% from 2 isn't going to hold up, but they don't need it to with an 11 point cushion.

Whoever has Over 77.5, your only risk is that Colorado cools off and Marquette slows the pace or gets sloppy on O as they lose interest.

 

[Ripper32]

You wonder how long Colorado can hang around before fatigue sets in. They don't have a deep rotation. 3rd game in 5 days. Marquette makes you play hard, intense minutes.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Didn’t You predict Creighton would lose because of the hero shot by Trey?
Obviously Cousinard was a hero then ran out of gas, but what a game by him & they’re big. Set a record with like 25 successful pick & rolls before McDermott finally figured it out and blitzed it - that combined with fatigue & big guy in the game to get fouled & miss 1-n-1 was the game.

Do you understand how percentages work?

 

[MexicoHusky]

Great half for Marquette. Bigs for Colorado dont appear to bring much to the table. 44 has 9 pts but he doesnt seem like a big offensive weapon and looks arguably bad on D

 

[Waquoit]

Kolek still seems to be protecting his injury by not taking three-point shots.

But he shot three from 3 in the first 5 minutes of their last game.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Do you understand how percentages work?

Not sure can you test me?
You predicted Creighton would lose with 80% certain and you were wrong!

 

[MilliniumPrince]

I like this Illini team, too bad they're in our bracket.

The one team I am worried about playing

 

[MexicoHusky]

Good TO Shaka

 

[superjohn]

Oso blows the dunk and Colorado hits the three the other way. From 8 point lead to 3.

Oso hasn’t been himself since before the BET. Seems indecisive and rattled.

 

[auror]

Game is getting fun.

 

[gsmooth]

I have noticed the exact same thing.

 

[superjohn]

He has no rebounds and he's just not there defensively.

 

[kobe]

marquette can't guard a parked car

but neither can the power conference team they are facing.

 

[aceboon]

Marquette landed the haymakers in the first half but Colorado is still right there

 

[giddyup]

He has no rebounds and he's just not there defensively.

Lots of D lapses all around.

 

[REB1094]

Marquette is having fun

Colorado is having fun.

 

[BugsyCT]

Yeah, this feels like its trending towards trouble for MU. They better step it up.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Colorado's problem is, at some point, they'll need to string together 2-3 stops, and they just can't.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Colorado has some good offensive weapons for sure. Wouldnt want to be in a close game against them.

 

[Tommyboy]

Those kolek lefty layups have been unstoppable today.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Colorado's problem is, at some point, they'll need to string together 2-3 stops, and they just can't.

They lose focus a lot. Way too many easy buckets.

 

[Jimdish255]

An astute observation.
" Colorado's going to have to score to keep up"

 

[Henry]

Excuse me, Diarra was the 6th man of the yr in the BE, not Joplin.

 

[August_West]

Elite offenses but not a lick of D being played

 

[3rdbass]

Wait did he say Joplin was the big east 6th man of the year on CBS Game? Diarra wants to have a talk.
