Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 2nd Round

[CTBasketball]

Marquette off to a good start.

Marquette will win if they figure out how to attack Lampkin on defense. He can't guard Ighodaro out on the move, and they switched him onto Joplin there.

Does it look unusually empty at this Marquette game?

 

[Tenspro2002]

Kolek looks really good. I was worried he was done for the year, or would be really limited at best, but he has Marquette looking like they could give Houston a game.

One side of it looks empty. Maybe its a section reserved for the other teams playing after?

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Wow. Marquette on fire. This is fun!

Phenomenal defense by Marquette. Doubling on Lampkin every chance they get.

Me too, I have to imagine he's in serious pain but it doesn't seem to be showing much.

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

Colorado has gone full bubble. Never go full bubble.

Chalk up the W for Shaka.

Yeah, he sort of looks like he’s just toying with Colorado so far.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Interesting, he definitely looked uncomfortable with it at the end of the clock and then shoveled it to Jones who nailed one.

 

[superjohn]

Does it look unusually empty at this Marquette game?

No, just empty right behind the Colorado bench.

 

[Hurleyman216]

That would be 9-0 but hear ya

True

 

[upstater]

Marquette is operating at a high rate on offense, BUT... now that they are out of the BE, they are not nearly as aggressive on D as they are usually.

I'm sure they'll turn it up second half when they're sure they are not in foul trouble.

 

[upstater]

LOL at that charge call

 

[August_West]

Marquette needs to be careful. Colorado can score. Would really like to see a double digit 1/2 time lead considering how sharp they look.

 

[superjohn]

LOL at that charge call

Stan Van Gundy is right, horrible. Joplin fouled him.

 

[Tenspro2002]

The problem with this game for Colorado is that both teams have picked up right where they left off the other night, but while for Marquette that means "dominating both ends," for Colorado that means "allowing a 100 point pace."

 

[MexicoHusky]

10 for Colorado looks like a tough guard

 

[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]

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.
