1.  DO shows us a glimpse.  Ahhhh.  Imagine if he had been healthy all autumn.
2.  Stevie getting beat back door multiple times ?!?!?  And missing free throws?!?!?
3.  Stonehill ran some really nice action to get those layups that made the game seem closer than it was.  I appreciate how they used MU'S ball pressure against MU.
4.  As soon as the deflections started in the first half, the rout was on.
5.  Joplin may have shaken off his slump.
6. I like Martelli.  And hearing Adrien is related to the Jason Ross Jr. guy.  And that a recruit has to be a quality person first.
7.  MU was supposed to win big.  They did.
8.  Quite the harness on Tre's right arm.  Should nickname him Bucky Barnes.
9.  The team will be serving food and spending the day with denizen of the Salvation Army.
10. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.  Safe travels.

I like our Freshmen Tower.  I wouldn't want to be WCU on Saturday. 

Good teams win, Great teams cover......by .5

Won and nobody got hurt. Yay

I do, too.  I look forward to watching them figure it out.  The circle of life.

For a nowhere team they played some nice rotations to get some uncontested layups. Disappointing.

Nice coming-out party for DO, though.

Enjoy Thanksgiving, all.

I feel honored

I assume that you feel Stone-d.

I liked the insight that shaka told the second team, "force me to play you!" I think you could see guys trying to prove they deserve it. DO, Royce, looking like playable guys, sophomores not looking as impressive. Zaide and Tre are acceptable as 8 and 9 options but was hoping for more from them.

Drunk on a cruise 😂

Great summary as always, Tower.

Owens looks like he will be a contributor along with Parham.

Nice to see Tre score a bit.  Hopefully that will be the spark he needs.

Jop would've scored 40 if he stayed in the game. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all Scoopers!

Thankful for Coach Shaka Smart, and what he's done to this Marquette program.

Thankful for all the dudes that have bought into his vision, and showcase it night in night out.

Can't wait to see what's in store

Shaka managed Owens' situation perfectly. Gave him a taste against the good opponents, let him loose today.

Very psyched about how good DO is gonna be.

My wife and I turned to each other a couple times when Stewie looked a step slow and got beat a couple times and wondered if he was under the weather. For a team with a bug, they put the clamps down and worked hard. Just get healthy for UW

Nothing says UW is our Superbowl like flat out not even traveling to Ames.

Walp at least Ben got some NIL dough??

Wonder if any of the many other teams that were down there have the bug?

Hah, whoops, kinda forgot about that monster of a game

Jop leads in rebounding again. I said here when he was a freshman that he was going to be an excellent rebounder. If I remember correctly, I got a lot of pushback from JB who had all the stats to show me how wrong I was.

Right after my post that Jop was going to be a good rebounder because he had the best rebounding fundamentals on that team, you posted:

"Until last night, in calendar year 2022, Joplin had one of the ten worst defensive rebounding percentages in ALL of college bball among players who played at least 10% of their team minutes. Literally 1 defensive rebound from Dec 22 through Feb 15."

1. Yes.......we wouldn't have the losses we have. ?
5. We have seen enough of Jop to know who he is. Its not a slump....its a streak. Hes up and the hes down. He might go 0-10 or he may go 6/8 from deep. He will have bad games in the future...maybe back to back....then he will turn around.
