Difference between playing soft and playing smart. He did not have the angle. Play going away from him. Diving into the ground for the ball. Most times, that is a foul. That is why it is a dumb foul. Especially with 3 already. That play was not as important as staying on the court. Aggressiveness is one thing. Foolishness is another. As soon as I was him miss and go after the ball the first time, I knew he was going to pick up his 4th foul. Seen it too many times. Can't agree with your assessment or analysis.

Win or lose I think we've found our primary lineup.

G: De Wilson
G: Jake Thomas
G: Johnson
F: Jamil
F: Gardner.

Some freshman plays there on offense by Deonte and JuJuan. Need a bucket here. This is as optimistic as I've been about the team all season.

Need to play Jamil and Davante together as much as possible as I've posted often.

Agreed wholeheartedly.

This team showed some of the Marquette heart we have become accustomed to. I agree with some of the others that I am feeling much better about this team. Big step up by JJJ, DW and Jake. Add Todd and eventually Duane and the backcourt may be what we hoped it would be.

I think IWB was right to stand behind Jake. He's having a terrific half.

I'll state again the Gardner/O'Tule lineup is not working tonight. Zero flow offensively with both of them in there together.

Jake Thomas showing some remarkable onions. Well done young man to get MU back in this. Glad to be eating crow myself. This is a completely different team when him and DWill are playing like this.

ASU is a darn good team also. Very impressive.

Guess I saw it different. Thought the same thing as you initially and then thought it went for it without seein the other guy. Didn't work. Like the effort.
Hell of a game so far
