Iowa states defense is better than the 3 you listed. It's going to be a very very long season. Buckle up my friend

George just needs to take a seat.


Flagler has been terrible as well.. Cryer has been terrible.. and Bonner is borderline unplayable on offense against decent competition

This is a train wreck. God help us against 8th year senior Timme

Tough road environment for a team that is fired up to play us. It's like we are their superbowl


Tickets for this game were going for $5. They don't care about playing Baylor, but Baylor seems to care about this game even less.

First Half Thoughts

Pros: It ended

Cons: There's another half left

25 points for the nations "best offense" 51 given up in a half to an average at best Marquette offense. Make the dance this season and that's a win. Because this team is stopping nobody from scoring

They only shot about 33 percent from 3. It could have been worse, given how open most of their misses were.

This is the worst I've seen a Scott Drew team with ballhandling in a half in a long, long time. I have no idea what happened but just use the 2nd half to work on some things, take the huge L and get the hell out of Milwaukee.

Drew is over there on the bench trying to figure out how he's going to re-invent this team.
IowaBear

Timme alone will outscore maybe 3 of our starters. They'll hang 100 on us unless their ice cold

I didn't think it was possible for a team to play this bad. 16 turnovers in 1 half? With the so-called best guards in the nation?

Marquette is a young team, Bears should win comfortably. Not sure why Vegas thinks it's going to be really close

2nd half thoughts. Put Bridges on the bench and Flagler too. If you aren't gonna try than take a seat. Play love and Bonner and see if they can help in big games. Play Loveday. He's no worse than Flo. It's one game but it's clear as day this team has serious issues. That's been clear all year. Marquette isn't good. This is unacceptable

Always. That dude hates baylor. But Drew is his daddy

He hasn't stopped us in over a decade but man second half of the 00s he was a mega ****** game changing official against baylor

The mods and know it alls on here want you to think we have the best guards. Houston's guards would eat ours for lunch. Just an average group of guards nothing special

Is there still time to change the arena plans, playing like this it will have way too many seats.

Obviously the turnovers are the story of the half, but how have we suddenly forgotten how to play interior defense?

Gonzaga is going to rip us a new one in the paint.

How bad is this game? I'm almost ready to watch a replay of today's soccer game.

Marquette took 17 more shots than us in the first half. We actually shot 50% from the floor but when the other team takes 17 more shots (and many driving layups) because you turned it over 16 times, this is what you're gonna get.

Our guards are objectively very good. This is just a really bad game.

Our defense is a very real problem, though. If we don't get that fixed, it's going to be a long year.

This why you need to be good at defense. It's easier to be consistent at it. So if your offense plays like my 9 year olds city team, then you can still keep the game close with solid D. We've got no chance to come back in this game because we will never get enough stops.

Wonder how it's going in the locker room about now? Dead silence? Time of reflection? "Anyone have any ideas what we do?" I'm visualizing Henry Winkler as football coach in Waterboy.

This was something I noticed in the Norfolk State game early. No matter how much we tried to separate from them, Norfolk continuously fought right back and ended up outshooting us percentage-wise

Offensively their good when their hitting 3's. All around play. No not in my eyes at least. Gotta be able to play some D and none of them can. There was a thread about this group of guards being better than the Natty teams guards and that's the funniest **** I've ever read. Those guards would embarrass this group

Games not over but we need to set the tone out of the gate in the second chance if we want a chance to win this

On the one hand George at least is young so he can maybe develop a defense, but on the other he's playing like a poor man's Matthew Mayer on offense. I guess maybe we can get two years of him if he keeps playing like this.

The real lack of anyone who can play the 3 and 4 is such a huge problem for this team. Sorry Lohner is just serviceable at best.
