FWIW, The hall look lifeless against Marquette right now, losing 24-12. Hopefully they bring this effort Thursday.
they looked like absolute garbage. Sina stinks, we could turn him over everytime he has the ball same with Teague. They got destroyed on the boards and outhustled all night. Just take the 3 away from Oliver and we win easy
This is exactly the attitude we should be avoiding. Don't feel cocky; this is a dangerous team. They have a lot of talent, albeit it inconsistent talent. When they're hot -- and granted, it's not always the case -- Edward and Oliver can kill you with 3s; Teague can score a lot inside against physically weaker match-ups; and Gibbs can break down a defense.
The last thing I want to hear after the game -- and I've heard it countless times, over and over again -- is "We weren't up when we came out"; "We were thinking of Georgetown" (i.e., our next opponent); or "It took us too long to get into it."
TAKE THESE GUYS SERIOUSLY! We haven't won on their home court in something like 15 years!!!
I'd like to see an easy win, however It won't be easy. Hope I'm wrong.
At one point last night Marquette had 12 to 1 offensive rebounds.
Gibbs, supposedly the Hall's best foul shooter, had 4 for 10. If I'm not mistaken he was terrible on the line against us. At one time he was 1 for 6. Yet he is suppose to be a 77% foul shooter.
I'm always worried about Teague and now Auda, both hangout in the low post. Hopefully, we get Teague in foul trouble.
Oliver shoots lights out and has to have someone in his jock all game. Edwin can also hurt you from the three point line.
They (S.H.) had mucho turnovers the first game. I'd expect full court pressure.
