Couldn't agree more.

Marquette starting 0-2, then beat Georgetown. Fell to 2-5 after the loss at DePaul.

Started 0-2 back in 2006-2007, losing at Providence and home to Syracuse (and I believe that both were by double digits).

Let's be honest with ourselves, this team is not a tournament team unless they dramatically improve and fast. Henry and Luke are good inside players, but Henry is still inexperienced and adapting to the pace and physicality of the Big East, and we don't really have a consistent enough outside threat to keep teams honest. If we could have one or two three point shooters that could consistently knock down shots and help us space the floor things would be very different in my opinion.

Thanks for clearing that up. Takes away all of the suspense for the balance of season!

I think inexperience along with a lack of physicality and overall toughness is a much bigger problem then 3 point shooting.

Fully agree with this.

Agree as well.

I think they need to play small more often and stop pounding the ball into Luke when he doesn't have the physical advantage. He doesn't have Davante's touch or girth.
