Week of 11/20 Other Games

[How Sway?!]

How did this guy slip through the cracks?

Will Tommy Amaker ever leave Harvard? He has done an incredible job building that program. DePaul should drop a bag for him

 

[Marat]

KU losing to Tenn early down 7 with 8 min left 1st. Would rather Kansas not have 2 losses for next Friday

 

[REB1094]

Tennessee’s late game execution is really bad. Last night they just kept chucking bad shots while the game slipped away.

Today not as bad, at least they got some decent looks, but just couldn’t make them as Kansas pulled ahead

 

[storrsroars]

No Ohio State?

That's central OH, not southwest.

 

[Scoe]

Marquette is gonna be a pain in the ass again, but that’s good.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Ighodaro has 2 fouls early. Not great for Marquette.

 

[superjohn]

X, Dayton and who else?

Ohio State

 

[aceboon]

I'm expecting Marq to win by dbl digits but I wonder about how playing defense with that intensity will affect their legs over the course of this game. 3 games in 3 days and then an early turnaround from yesterday to today.

 

[superjohn]

Marquette is playing like doo doo, turning it over and missing all their shots. They're also in serious foul trouble.

 

[BigTenFan]

Purdue is finally hitting their outside shots
That makes them a completely different team

 

[ecasadoSBU]

That's central OH, not southwest.

Sure. But I'm sure he meant Ohio State.

Its less than a 2 hour drive. Not that far away

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Marquette can't buy a 3

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

And Purdue just made a full court buzzer beater at half....

 

[superjohn]

Marquette can't buy a 3

It seems like everything went wrong for them that half. Lid on the rim from distance and in close, they're missing steals and loose balls by inches, and they're all in foul trouble.

As I'm typing this Purdue made an almost full court shot.

 

[ADK46er]

Marquette is playing like doo doo, turning it over and missing all their shots. They're also in serious foul trouble.

But of course when they play uconn, it's like they apply a cheat code and every player shoots 100% and all 5 starters have quadruple doubles

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Seems like breathing on Edey results in a foul

 

[aceboon]

Surprised at this half, was expecting Purdue to have issues running offense against Marq and they 45 in the first half

 

[ecasadoSBU]

Marquette with their hands full

70 ft basket to close the first half

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Surprised at this half, was expecting Purdue to have issues running offense against Marq and they 45 in the first half

Marquette got in foul trouble. Can't defend as aggressive. Let's see in 2nd if they can turn it around

 

[auror]

Edey is a walking opponent foul trouble, because if you don't foul him he just scores.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

I don't know why Marquette keeps trying to drive on him.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Marquette doesn't look as crisp as they did yesterday. Edey's size is really disruptive. Reminds me of last year's game against Marquette when Clingan was dominating and Hurley took him out and we lost

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Marquette has had many chances to push the ball to the hoop with Edey plodding up the court behind them. But they stop and let him get back into the D. Dumb.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Good lord these Refs treat Edey like he’s a precious doll

 

[87Xfer]

Good lord these Refs treat Edey like he’s a precious doll

Wasn't Bilas spewing some nonsense early in the broadcast about how "you can't call fouls against Edey like everyone else" because, due to his size, he gets fouled too much or too hard? What a GD wanker. Clingan's been getting mauled...

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Marquette needed that 3 bad.

 

[BugsyCT]

Who picks these Maui teams? This is like a Final Four in April.

1st, 2nd, 4th & 7th ranked teams in the country knocking heads twice in the last 24 hrs.

 

[REB1094]

Marquette played perfect defense for 30 seconds on each of Purdue’s last 2 possessions. But Edey is too tall. Got a tip in to get a 3 point lead and got an offensive rebound to burn an extra second off the clock

Great effort from Marquette. They beat #1 and then played the new #1 to the buzzer the next night. They are real championship contenders.

 

[BigTenFan]

Excellent game. Marquette is top 5 team
Boiler Up!

So much went right in that game for Purdue and so much went wrong in that game for Marquette. I still don't believe in Purdue, they'll end up getting a 1 seed because the Big 10 is garbage but they won't make the final 4.
