Post game, With DWade were Crowder, R. Jax, Bo, Jim Chones, Jimm Boylan and Steve who all stuck around at their baseline seats and talked and took some pictures. Looked like they were having fun. It was a great tableau of MU hoops royalty having fun. Many of us goofball fans just stood there watching the stars interact. Feeling of our great past and bright future.

I thought we got some pretty benefical calls down the stretch to keep it not close and we really took some bad shots and had some bad turnovers over the last 3 mins of the game up 10-12. I was disappointed with Howard and Sam. both had some bad turnovers and both I thought rushed shots early in the shot clock. I understand if you get a good look you take it but Sam had 24 or so seconds left in the shot clock and Howards had probably 15-18 and was not a great look. also was hoping that froling would look a little more athletic, Maybe he will when he gets up to speed.

In fairness, there were horrific calls both ways. I think they balanced out. Either way, the reffing was brutal and made the game hard to watch.

I didn't think Marquette moved the ball on offense that well last night and I think the assist number of 15 kind of verifies that. Need to move the ball instead of hunting shots off the dribble for this team to be successful.

Nice to get a win coming off of the exams and that's all that matters. Hope Rowsey is OK.

Wojo mentioned the lack of ball movement in his post game remarks.

With that being said we missed a ton of wide open shots.......
