I don’t know why everyone is so happy. Yes, Kansas is winning but they’ve looked like garbage guarding the 3-point line for most of the game.
Umm, cuz we’re winning?

No we are cooking. Missed some easy ones tonight, but much more aggressive.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Happy that they erased a big deficit - not happy how they’ve defended the 3. And, won’t feel secure until we have a double digit lead with less than 4 minutes or so…

We should be winning. Marquette isn’t ranked.

Don’t mind the shot made over Lightfoot. He was there. Just a good shot.

@Texas-Hawk-10 not at all. Just not a change in defensive philosophy that I can see that addresses the growing importance of 3 point line
Maybe I’m wrong and it is just a lack of execution? Possible. Or we’ll overcome with superior talent and hall of fame coaching that wins 83% or so of games.
At this point in the season, it is usually lack of execution. That execution has almost always gotten better as the season went along.
This really is nothing new for a Bill Self team.

Who has the boot on?

Vick’s head is getting in the way right now.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’ll Hope. But visions of Villanova are in my mind

I’d say not allowing a point for a good 10 minutes is deserving of some praise. Proof this team CAN play D at least.

A little overconfident. Needs to be aggressive, but in the right way.
-
@KUSTEVE me 2 lol
-
Nice to see Dedric actually make shots from the floor.
-
We “should” be winning? So we should never lose then? Tell Duke that. Gotta bring it each night, the unis don’t win the game

Villanova last year destroyed everyone. That was one of the best college teams of the modern era. There’s nobody that good this year.

Gonzaga is ranked 3rd. Marquette isn’t ranked. Yes we should beat Marquette. What kind of comment is this?
-
Thank heaven too, that team was crazy good.

21 points though. Quiet.
-
Doke 6 points

That Villanova team is up there with 2012 Kentucky, 2009 UNC, and 2001 Duke for best team this century.
-
But that logic is the higher ranked team should win every time right?
-
Wtf is happening right now with these fouls on Grimes
-
@StLJhawk No, but the 2nd ranked team in the country should beat an unranked team. Games with teams separated by 2 spots in the rankings are a coin-flip.

But what I recall is they completely took us out of the game on the perimeter with pressure and shot lights out from the perimeter when we gave them open looks.
The counter argument is we were in the game.

But rankings in November are hardly accurate though.
-
Dedric had easily his best half.
-
I’m not sure Bill has ever had a player as poor offensively as Garrett.
-
Fair enough. I Just have trouble with the “entitlement” vibe here sometimes. We can’t win em all.
-
Lawson 24 pts. 7/14 field and 9 rbs.

KU was never in that game last year. Nova shot lights out even when guarded in that game. That first half Nova played was an all time great half any college team has ever played. Villanova was head and shoulders better than everyone else all year last season.

Dedric!

Gotta get grimes going!

Cool. I have a problem with our perimeter defense.
-
Concerning? Still only 10 3’s for us to their 31. Even Vick isn’t looking to find an open 3.
-
Marquette is 1-2 on FT’s. We’re going to win some games with numbers like that.
-
Dedric looking smoother now
-
Why not put Dok back in? Let him finish the game.
-
Woah. Dude just banked in a free-throw.
-
@stoptheflop I’m not too concerned. We’ve pounded them in their weak spot. Inside play has destroyed Marquette tonight.
-
Nice what a little perimeter D can do.

17 points so far in the 2nd half… I still think this team ends up being dominate defensively. My 1st half meltdown has been rescinded.

FTs? No ability to dribble against the press? Both?
-
Grimes has been mostly invisible this game - biggest number on stat sheet is fouls…
-
Hell of a second half. Good win.
-
Still undefeated… Wooooooo!!!

291st ranked team in 3-point defense. Got torched in the 1st half knowing that Marquette was going to shoot 3’s. Played better in the 2nd half. Good. Still a lot of work to do if they want to be a dominant defensive team.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich And, need to work on dealing with pressure - very sloppy the last few minutes, esp. with so many perimeter players…

There is still plenty of work to do, but this second half is a glimpse of where this team will be at more times than not once January rolls around.
