I hacked on Gold...but he did have 5 rebounds , 4 blocks and 4 steals .

Quote from: MarquetteFan94 on January 07, 2025, 08:56:30 PMIs anyone worse in the country putting the ball on the floor than Joplin?

Gold?

Gold played a decent defensive game.  Offensively he looked like he did not want to shoot.    But we needed all of his D and rebounding

Quote from: cheebs09 on January 07, 2025, 07:46:38 PMKind of feels like a Wojo coached team. Luckily I trust Shaka to have some second half adjustments. Just have to get the lead to a manageable level at half.

It's nice to have a coach where you have faith they will get it right at halftime.

Quote from: Herman Cain on January 07, 2025, 08:20:32 PMHave been rooting hard for the squad here in second half, plane with no wifi about to take off hopefully rest of Scoopers can channel positive vibes to MU

We cant let Mr Cooley leave the joint with a win

Just landed and saw the good news . Thanks to all for denying Mr Cooley

Sounds like Ross really stepped up all game long while some of our main guys struggled.  If we can win with Kam having a bad night, I'll take it.  We shot an atrocious percentage fron 2.  What happened to Ben and did we just crap the bed vs their zone?  Ty.

Marquette is 53-6 at home over their last home games or 48-3 at home over their last home games which ever you prefer

GT was a physical force in the pa8nt.  Hard to drive against them.  Altering and blocking shots.    We got s9me though... just enough. GT is better that I thought they would be.    But Chase saved the dat and all who hit the free throws at the end of the game... Stevie, Kam, Jop....

Interested to see how GTown ends up.

They have 0 Tournament profile whatsoever so not sure what they'd have to do to get in at this point, but they look like a solid team.

Also have just a 1 point win against Seton Hall, got routed by 20+ against ND. Tough team to figure out, but it seems that they are a young team starting to figure some things out.

Exactly

Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on January 07, 2025, 07:20:05 PMBen looks completely not ready to shoot today. Like he doesnt expect the ball to even come

Or, at least on his first missed three of the night, he expected the pass to be more accurate.

Pete Carill used to say that the most underrated play in basketball is a simple pass.

When the pass is off target it makes the shooter look bad. He's getting his mind and body prepared for a shot and a bad pass throws that off. On that first miss I knew before he let it go that he was going to miss because the pass disrupted his balance.

On that blown wide open layup in the second half I had no idea why he didn't just go up and dunk it.

Glad you're enjoying another win!

Article about Szelc:
https://onmilwaukee.com/articles/szelcfeature

Paul Szelc is the number three ranked referee on Kenpom at the moment.*

He's finished the season ranked in the top 10 five of the last six seasons.
I honestly had never heard of him before now.


* Kenpom's ref rankings are not very scientific; it's based on the number of times per season a ref gets a high profile assignment. It assumes those typically go to the best refs, when in reality, you could just have a travel whore like Driscoll who will ref any game anywhere

Not knowing a ref's name is a good sign.

Quote from: tower912 on January 08, 2025, 02:08:22 PMNot knowing a ref's name is a good sign.

Only reason I know ref names is due to bad reffing.

Or in the case of one, because he's a generally nice guy and our paths crossed occasionally.

2 of those 3 Pregame announcers on CBS were wrong not picking Marquette.

Marquette shot 27 Free Throws and Georgetown shot 13 Free Throws

Parrish made sure to tell Walker and Wally they were wrong as well.

I bet he's the one that collected Ryan Braun's urine sample too.
