#25 Marquette, Fri., Mar. 14, 6:30p, FOX

[mjmaherjr]

Considering the start happy to be down 2 even though we should be up. We are wearing them down

 

[gregbodkin]

Down by 2 at the half. I don't like it but I'll take it.

 

[paultzman]

Down 2 quite ok considering.

Kam tired thankfully

 

[SJU2000alum15]

Down 37-35 at the half we will win this in second half.

 

[Knight]

Rebounds are even at 19. Got to do better.

 

[Marillac2]

Ayo is 5-0 stopping Kam’s dribble the last two games.

As crazy as this seems considering we were down 15 at one point, we should be winning this game right now. And by a few buckets not just a point or two. We’re playing unbelievably sloppy for us, those missed 1-and-1s and they were hot early on.

 

[MJDinkins]

Poor execution. We waited too late IMO. We need to make our freebies and start valuing every possession. I can see Marquette eventually being winded around the 8-minute mark of the second half.

 

[Knight]

Lewis with great D on Kam.

 

[Strout]

In the double bonus and zuby takes a 3
Smh

We make a few of those free throws and we go into the half with a lead.

MQ looked like they were gassed towards the end of the half. Hope my diagnosis from 2000 miles away is accurate

I have a confession I actually get nervous watching the game sometimes especially when they fall behind early that I turn it off and follow it via this website or on Twitter.

I literally scream too much at the TV sometimes....LOL

 

[mjmaherjr]

Can’t have Lefty today. Unless Kam out. Can’t risk the switches to him. Play Ayo instead

 

[paultzman]

No foul trouble, just Wilcher w 2.

Look who is +9 in just 4 minutes. He leads the team in +/- per minute for the year.

I am thinking strategically that is what Rick is counting on. They have played 2 very tight very intense games where I think Kam Jones basically played the whole game both times.

Hoping SJU has more energy in 2nd half.

I think we win, this team and coach has given me no reason to think they won’t. Marquette looks tired already. I think we go WHITE on defense (ha, learned that in the doc) in the 2nd half and put some distance between us and them.

I was thinking the same thing. When lefty plays we just don’t have an elite defense. He’s a “situational” player for us and the situation isn’t right tonight
