Well here we go! I'm not sure what to expect with this game. Will Goode see action? Perrin? Hopefully our fouls will drop drastically. That's what really killed us with Iowa

Benetti will be at UConn-Creighton with Jim Jackson.

This is separation Saturday. This game is huge for us
MD vs PSU and scUM vs IU are huge for them.

Rock fight but the boys will get it done today. Book it.

Please, please my heart needs a game where we open up a dbl digit lead and NEVER SURRENDER.

I can’t take another go down 15, fight back and lose by 2 drama

Driving me toward a pacemaker

Let’s have a no drama day.

Marquette up big on Georgetown late so there shouldn't be an issue with this game starting on FS2 or anything like that.

Play all 40 minutes boys

Sigh... Courtney Green again... Along with Larry S... Welp, expect an extremely inconsistently called game, a ton of questionable foul calls, and this game to have a strong likelihood of being won at the free throw line. Not what we needed in this one.

Great to see DD start us off

 

[skyIdub]

THAT CoHawk please!!

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Outstanding start for us. Love the aggressiveness

[Goillinikobd]

Holy Sh, CoHawk

Bad 3 leads to RU 3

 

[spillini]

Please lean into the easy twos

 

[New Creation]

10-2 run already by RU

 

[madillini4]

A little suspect on D here to start

Bad 3 leads to RU 3

Absolutely no stats to back this up, but I SWEAR we’ve never made a 3 to separate in that situation. Make it and it’s 7-0; instead, we miss it and give up a 3 to make it 4-3. I feel like I’ve seen that exact sequence countless times.

nothing kills momentum like jacking 2 contested 3's

 

[madillini4]

What a terrible foul call. Text book defense.
