#11 Marquette (MSG), Tue., Feb. 4, 6:30p, FS-1

What an atmosphere!!! Last year was embarrassing the crowd. This year it’s remarkable the difference. Big. Loud. Love it!!!!

And for all those who say what if we play like that against so and so. And so and so. Well. We shot under 20% from 3. Under 40% from 2. And 54% from the foul line and beat one of those what if you play like that against that team!!!!!

Defense!!!!!! Offensive rebounding!!!!
 
We will never lose a game out rebounding an opponent like we did tonight. Saying this team is tenacious on the boards would be understatement!

And it was great to see Smith come out of his funk late in the 2nd. We need that version of him!!
 
If you look at this game, you scratch your head. Our foul shooting was awful, our guard play other then Kadary and Smith in the last 5 minutes was non contributory, some decisions were poor yet we beat a top 15 team. A testament to the amazing defense, offensive boards and will to win. 😎👍
 
Everybody on here, myself included, wanted it to be Sim over Smith down the stretch given how Smith was playing through the first 30 mins of the game. Sim never came back in after picking up his 4th foul.

I guess Rick is smarter than us huh
Well yea sim had to come out with 4 and smith happened to find his game right after that.

My credit goes to smith more than Rick for that, cause smith stepped up when he had to be out there, and made Rick’s choice to leave him in an easy one

Their foul shooting wasn’t much better nor was their guard play.

Defense wins championships and that’s what we put on them today. They had to feel they were playing 5 on 10 on some possessions.
 
yes, he played the entire 2nd half, I wish he hadn't but when your going balls to the wall, it happens. don't think dumb is appropriate word.
How about “ill timed”? I give Zuby lots of credit in thus one his offensive boards work was stellar. But to your point about him playing the entire half, can you acknowledge that our depth is minimal?
