Saw a lot of good things though in the 2nd half. Henry and Luke missing bunnies is starting to become a trend unfortunately.

Close shots but not bunnies. We are taking too many contested 2s against size right now. It isn't working. Hoyas didn't even have to double Luke or Henry.

It would be nice if Luke could develop a turnaround baseline jumper to add something more to his game in the low post.

The team did enough things in the 2nd half that I won't go to bed depressed.

HC is going to be so good - silky smooth.

Has MU ever started 0-2 in BE play and still make the tourney?

Doesn't help that for the 2nd game in a row our free throw defense has been incredibly bad......

21/22...,.,give me a break

[Markedman]

Mac just said Traci, Sandy, and Haney played 86 minutes and had 4 total rebounds. Throw in only 2 from Duane , 1 for JJ and 0 from Wally and you have a problem.

I think some changes need to be seriously considered with the SC program. And, if that means some personal changes, so be it. This is the third straight year where the team has been overwhelmed in the conference by physical play.

Too many slender players. It's the same SC coach that MU had under Buzz. But Jae and DJO could add a lot of muscle to their frame, while players like Jamil and Vander couldn't. That doesn't mean they didn't get stronger, but they could never get bulked up.

I mentioned this after Seton Hall, but Marquette has a lot of slender players on this team. Haanif, Sandy, Duane, JJJ, Luke are only going to be able to add so much muscle. Sacar, Traci and Henry have bigger frames but all three are freshmen.

0-4 in 2010 with Acker and Cubillan as starting guards, DJO, Butler and Hayward rounded out the starting 5.

That's right - maybe Buzz's best coaching job.

I know it's a lost art, but we never ever pull up for 6-12 ft jumpers and they seem to be available quite regularly.

Zero adjustment by wojo to make someone other than smith beat you in crunch time. I just don't get how he didn't see a need to do that - it was obvious as a casual fan watching on tv.
