Fox Sports article on MU/Luke

[79warrior]

To clarify my initial point, I think we will be good next year in large part due to Luke, Henry, Duane, and Sandy. Do not believe that JJJ will play a huge part in the success or failure of this season and coming seasons.

Hopefully Wojo has some tricks up his sleeve, because you mentioned 4 players who will be good next year. I think we need a few more than that. Next year looks like a rebuild with stronger pieces, but I would not expect a massive turnaround in the W-L with the guys you mentioned.

I am beginning to worry about next year also. Realistically the only guy we are bringing in that can be counted on for a significant contribution is Henry, then returning players you have Sandy, Wally, Luke, JJJ, STJ, and Duane... I honestly think Duane and Sandy need to step up big time and make this their team. If those two can make the jump we will be fine, but if not I think we will sit in a similar spot to this year.

This is the first game this season, conference season at least, that the MU team stopped caring, stopped playing hard. Seton Hall hit some tough shots to start the 2nd half, but the defense by MU was laughable, and we have seen that MU can play very good defense. Maybe players have decided to mail this season in like the fans, too bad.

I think this is unfair because the team showed some fight in the end. The effort was still there but the defensive lapses to open the second half were glaring and did us in. Sandy and Duane especially were giving their all to lead a comeback.

I expect it.

What is unfair? The defense, start of 2nd half, was "mailing it in." Layups I am talking about, not 3's. It is not a coincidence that MU, on their home court, faced a 24 point deficit in the 2nd half. Through the first 7 conference games, it was either a close game or MU was up by 8+ in the 2nd half. Seton Hall was 3-4 coming in. Why are we down 24 in the 2nd half but have defeated Providence at home and led Georgetown at home in the 2nd half. This was about effort, and if you are too incompetent to wrap your mind around that, you must have never accomplished anything in sports.

All I am saying is the effort rebounded at the end.

But thanks for gratuitous insult. I haven't accomplished anything in sports except making the Little League All Star Traveling team in Crystal Lake Illinois when I was 12. I feel so much shame now. Something to sleep on.

Apologies, nothing personal, I just love Marquette. We should not be down 24 in the 2nd half to any team in this conference....at home....other than Villanova and maybe Georgetown (but the guys brought it for 40 minutes against Georgetown and it went OT). This is a very good conference, but we showed we can compete through the first 7 games. This game made no sense.

I think it is a combination of Hall being on fire from three and struggling to overcome three tough, close losses in a row. I expect a much better effort on Saturday.

We beat Crystal lake in Districts to make it to sectionals when I was 10, their coach was a real A-hole.
