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

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

Had to w Wilcher w 2 fouls

Being that we ended the half on a 26-13 run, they got tired after the first 5 minutes. Thank goodness that CRP emphasized conditioning. I think that we'll be OK in the second half. The second half is usually our half.

Deivon +12

If anyone has a few minutes to spare, you should re-read the first half thread. Extremely mature.

Sim -12
Deivon +12

They don’t like Deivon’s quickness one bit.

Sim -12
Deivon +12

Sim blew some early D assignments too. Hopefully his ability to make some key plays at right times holds true.

Since my son is going back to school from spring break tomorrow, we decided to do our St. Patrick's day dinner today. I had to miss the last part of first half when the bride called me for the corned beef & cabbage. Left when we were down 24-17, come back to see us only down 2 at half.
If Marquette makes a run in second half I'll be sure to go back upstairs for dessert.

 

[paultzman]

We missed a number of bunnies off nice feeds, hopefully that balances off.

Good point.

 

[paultzman]

Always reliable Zuby headed to another double double. He and KR really played well.

It has been the "nothing goes right" game. Dunno if it's exhaustion, nerves, Marquette or just one those things. But we are still in it and competing as always. Let's get it in the second half!

 

[espken]

We are programmed for games like this.
Second night of back-to-back for both. Don’t expect lights out shooting, just grind and limit turnovers.

 

[SJU2000alum15]

Yeah two missed front end 1-1 the point blank missed layup by smith and the missed put back dunk by Zuby take that away we’re up 6 at the half we will win this game!

 

[MJDinkins]

Wilcher is stinking it up.

 

[SJU2000alum15]

What was that Wilcher come on

 

[Larry Wright]

I never kill Wilcher but…. Put in Smith

 

[tnice]

I am holding out hope for an RJ like blossoming for Sim next year, but my hopes are rapidly diminishing.

 

[Bobby123]

Get Wilcher out

 

[paultzman]

M’Q half adjustment is clearly driving more

 

[MJDinkins]

Wilcher was beaten again.
