Marquette Post Game Thread

[3rdbass]

Nie to see Alleyne hit the 3 pt shot and i loved the 2 charge fouls he drew. Newton triple double is the key player. Karaban seemed to hit all the big shots in the second half when we were sputtering. Everybody played well and our defense was good especially in the first half.

This win alone will move us up a few spots in AP poll.

With Newton playing like this in last 3 games, our PG position solidified.

Gosh, Jordan has 4 20+ points games out of last 5.

Sanogo and Karaban steady force as ever.

Last but not the least, Alleyne is slowly showing out his game!

Hope this team is embarking on a journey that we are so accustomed to in last two natties!

Let’s do that more often!

Like every time out for the rest of the season? That was a top 10 performance in every aspect.
Oh and Marquette had 7 total assists. Kolek can put up 20+ points, no problem, as long as he gets fewer than 5 assists. He had 4.

It was coming in the air tonight.

And yes I still love this team. And I would have posted it in my original thread if it wasn’t locked.

And my new thread saying as much was deleted.

Maybe this one will stick.

Go huskies.

Thanks @temery

There were so many key things that fed this win

1. Alleyne had his best game of the season, on D and on O
2. Newton handled the pressure well, drove the ball, found open people (who hit the shots) and helped tremendously on the boards
3. Karaban was his usual, unselfish, high BBIQ self, being in the right place and hitting shots.
4. Sanogo wasn't a black hole, made some shots but also found open shooters, including that sweet dime to Alleyne on the back cut
5. Jackson could play his game because of better player and ball movement, so his guy couldn't just track the ball and double. And he made some incredible plays on the boards.
6. Getting them in a little early foul trouble in the 1st half helped. And we didn't foul much except the final 3 minutes of that 1st half.
7. This was a 25 point win if Clingan didn't miss some of his bunnies and free throws. He'll get it, and when he does, wow.
8. Hawkins. Just, Hawkins.

It wasn’t Hurley’s scheme that caused us to our rebound them 48-24. The guys played harder tonight than they have in a month.

I’m making fun of the people who say Hurley doesn’t know how to coach. He must have learned overnight!

Alleyne needs some love, he was fantastic on both ends tonight. If this is what we get from him going forward, I am super happy. He's been pretty locked in defensively all year but he's starting to shoot better the past four games. 3-9 in the past three from three isn't stellar but it's an improvement and more notably he looks like he's not rushing his shot as much.

POG - Tris-Newton! He did it all.
Glad to see him hitting his stride.
He's in RJ Cole mode.
Not the same player... but...
Taking over when we need them...
Cutting off passes, getting in front of defenders, rebounding....
People were wondering if Diarra should start ahead of him? LOL

 

[Blue Blood]

Can't stress enough the timeout usage never let any momentum build best team performance since Oregon just awesome

 

[REB1094]

Lots of great things to talk about tonight but my favorite is is that we’re playing free flowing offense again. We aren’t force feeding Sanogo and it’s allowing Newton and Hawkins to play GREAT offensively

 

[EastConn'er]

Nice games for Alleyne & Joey C. Alleyne hit some nice permitter shots and Joey had some nice passes and defense.

 

[Punkbo]

Newton and Hawkins both played very well tonight. Big difference from the first time we played Marquette. But the biggest shout out to Alleyne. Absolutely great effort!

Yeah we didn't think Newton had it in the tank but obviously when he is aggressive and plays well we win. He is our only really effective driver on the team.

'I don't see any of your threads locked or deleted?

I posted I love this team back in December. A month later in January it was bumped asking if I still felt the same. I wasn’t able to respond because it was locked (probably because someone dug it back up). I posted a new thread to answer it, but that was deleted. This was about 2 weeks ago I’d say.

I hope AK cant shave until April 4!

Luke Murray is a really good interview.

Agreed. Free flowing offense is the key. Nothing was slow tonight. A couple late shot clocks but even those were in the flow of the offense.

Luke Murray is a really good interview.

He's going to have a great relationship with the media when he gets a high-major coaching gig.

 

[caw]

Marquette started with Kolek sagging off Jackson and he did a great job of screening and cutting. It was a lot of off the ball stuff but it helped a ton. That and his defense was superb. Missed his one three but it was end of shot clock and in the offense, not a stepback. Overall this is how Jackson needs to play. I think he's got it now.

And Sanogo is still getting his. Thought Sanogo's mindset (less forces, moving the ball quicker), handling the ball, and passing were all really good tonight.

 

[F101Voodoo]

Hurley remembered how to coach again. Nice.

Old fashioned left hand complement

 

[uchusky32]

When we have someone getting to the rim, Newton. Hawk doing his thing. And Sanogo. We are hard to defend. AJ can get on offensive boards. Karaban gets open looks.

What's up with Sampson? Not many available minutes for him.

 

[REB1094]

For sure. It seemed like a quiet game until I checked the box and saw he had 18.

Newton had 12 of our 20 assists, but Sanogo was #2 on the team with 3. He was even dribbling at the end of the game, can’t say I want him to do that often but it mostly looked good tonight lol
