Marquette game thread

One more gripe. We cannot defend on the ball they blow right past us like we are standing still. Olivari has been awful on D and Claude still cannot defend ball screens. I I apologize for my negativity but I hate seeing X play to this low standard.

As Sean walks out on the floor during a time out, you can see that he is seething and might just pop again this game. Green, Swain, and KN are freshmen and playing better than the upperclassmen. Guess Sean will let Laz sit on the bench

OH, BTW, Des is playing like a freshman, driving and knocking it off his leg. Dribbling skills left him

Sean it is time to press. Kolek or no Kolek

it used to be a Xavier team that played better at the end of the season than at the beginning. We knew Offense ould be a probably but not a killing problem.

We are not a very good team on our half court offense. Easy to defend with zero front court scoring. Not sure what's up with Claude. i think he has struggled the last 4-5 games. When he hesitates with the ball he turns it over.

Last year the high Low game was artistic by X; this year an ugly mess

Too add insult to injury it seems like Marquette is getting every loose ball. Claude needs to forget about shooting and just play tough defense and hustle. He looks lost. Long day for the team.

Walk on is in game before Laz

Sean christened him "the MAN" before the season, and Des found out he was strong enough so he would be dunking more ..all hype

The bright point of this game could be said to be Green, Swain, and Nzeh getting playing time together and not looking too bad.

Now we will listen to Sean tell us how good Marquette is and how much respect he has for Shaka. On the other hand his team which he recruited stinks. We need to get much better but I think he his leaving. The only thing that keeps him at X is loyalty. I hope he respects that but in today’s world forgetta about it
