Marquette Game on Tuesday

[Piratz]

Huge, huge swing game with The Hall sitting at 0-2 and what will likely be a Q1 win chance. I think this is a good match-up for us.

They are a young team and not deep, but good offensively. They attack fast, move the ball. The defense is a bit suspect but they do push offenses out and try to generate turnovers with heavy ball pressure. Can we withstand the pressure? If we can we should be able to get the ball into the lane regularly.

Can we find a way to steal a game on the road with gritty defensive play?

We keep saying that this is the important week, but maybe this is the important week. My gut says 1-1 and that should be enough to keep us in the equation. Not impossible to get both. Very important to get the home game because you don’t want to start conference play 0-2 protecting the home venue. If the backcourt guys can elevate as a group it could translate to better results. Missing 5 free throws or less per game as a team would make a huge difference.
