Amazing production effort from ESPN+ before the commercial...

 

[Dante]

Chatfield improving immensely.

 

[madguy30]

Haha I have that NCAA tourney game nervousness.

Need to snap out of it in early December.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

King McClure has been decent to good tonight, I'll give him some credit.

He’s much improved from two seasons ago

 

[cayin]

they are trying to make Dishon switch so he is on the guard and exploit him to the hoop. He is not quick enough to stay with the guards. That is what Jones was good at last year.

typical ESPN+ quality. blame them not trying to get this on one of their main networks.

 

[Rabbuk]

That ethanol commercial was something.

 

[alarson]

First game I've been able to make in Hilton this year. Nice that it seems they have improved the cell signal issue quite a bit. No issues getting data with a full house

 

[RezClone]

If we do not beat any quality non con foes, the committee will punish us in some way, they did last year. And this year the Big 12 is not doing as well in the non con so that may hurt the metrics in the long run as well.

100% agree. If we beat Auburn, this game would be forgiven. It probably won't separate us from a 2 or 3 seed. And definitely not a 3 or 4. But this is absolutely realistically necessary for #1 seed. We'd be looking at a 2000-type record in the Big 12 to have a chance to overcome a loss here for a 1 seed.

 

[Peter]

We are better defensively with Chatfield. The Jackson Jefferson combo has not been good defending the pick and roll.

 

[Cyched]

It's a nice feeling having a frontcourt that can trade blows

 

[madguy30]

Before anyone flips out if/when this 10 point lead goes down, Marquette is good and will go on a run and chip away at things.

 

[jaj040]

TJ teams are inverted Fred teams. Build an early lead and try to keep it.

 

[Stumbles]

Gilbert gets contact. No foul.

 

[madguy30]

I thought Jackson was going to take it to the house!

 

[jdoggivjc]

Marquette looks lost out there.

 

[Cyched]

KG!

 

[Stumbles]

TJ teams are inverted Fred teams. Build an early lead and try to keep it.

Getting buckets in the paint. Not behind the arc.

 

[inCyteful]

There is no comparison between the guard courts to this point.

 

[Stumbles]

Marquette looks lost out there.

Yeah, some of their turnovers make it look like that.
