MU vs. Pitt This Sunday 3pm EST
Light it up, DJames
CBS is covering (nationally, I might add) Marquette vs. Pittsburgh on Sunday. The show starts at 3pm EST (noon Pacific). An in-conference battle of top-25 teams, we're all looking for Marquette to find a way to beat the zone defense. Lately MU has struggled against the zone but has completely ripped apart a man defense. The guards are good ball-handlers, but against a zone their drive and dish game plan is ruined because the open guy ends up being behind the three-point line, and subsequently misses the shot.
The Warrior defense has been strong as of late, though they did not record as many turnovers against Louisville as expected. If MU can hang with Pitt early and not have any gaps of 5 minutes without scoring, there's a good chance it'll come down to free-throw shooting, and then Marquette is screwed. Their shooting from the charity stripe has been aweful so far this year, with the exception of the victory against Louisville. I am still checking to see if Novak still has one game of eligibility in him and can come into the game as the designated-free-throw-shooter.
Happy Birthday Hew, hopefully the Chickens can pull one out to celebrate your 21st. Happy birthday, bro.
