Marquette - Arizona State Game Thread

MU up 11 at the half. Yes, Burton and Dawson are gone. Yes, Fischer is in. Even with those obvious changes, this looks like a whole new team.

Couldn't agree more, this is exactly they kind of play that was missing all of last year. Players feed off of Luke and there's just a confidence that seems to be back, at least for this game. Luke, WOW, just WOW. Is it to early to get excited about him AND Henry next year?

Luke's stats at last timeout read....

19 minutes, 12 points, 8 rebounds, 5 blocks, 1 assist.

Carlino's foul..... Carlino fouled Holder who was going up for a shot. Fischer swats the shot. As they huddle Fischer says to Carlino, "Let him go, I'll take care of the shot."

[IWB]

Those of us that said nobody would be happier with Luke's return than Steve Taylor may have been wrong.

At the 12 minute mark....
Juan Anderson - 25 minutes
Luke Fischer - 22 minutes
Steve Taylor - 6 minutes

What a difference 1 player can make. Maybe we can finish in the upper half of conference standings.
Looks like we have become extremely competitive, not that we didn't compete but really more rounded on both ends of the floor.

I'm sure many of us are glad that Buzz did not go after Willie Atwood hard enough before he left, Atwood has been less than impressive.

[IWB]

I say that as he drains a three.

Crazy thing is, MU losing the rebounding battle 29-26.

On the bright side, 21 assists on 25 made baskets - that is huge! You want huger than huge? MU shooting 56.8% from the field for the game.

Getting a bit sloppy here at the end, but a good win.

Couldn't believe the refs wouldn't call a foul there, Duane Wilson was getting mugged intentionally - what was point spread?
