Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - 2nd Round

[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.

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?

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.

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

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.

Game is getting fun.

I have noticed the exact same thing.

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?]

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.
