My buddy Mach got tickets to the student section for the game against 13. Villanova today so I decided to check it out as always and because of winter break, the seats were awesome. Third row on the corner of the Bradley Center perfect position to watch the Warriors beat the Wildcats 79-72. Here are few observations about the game and few random ones.
-Marquette played one of the worst halfs I have seen this year and ended up leading in the first half. They just looked out of sorts just bad shots and too many turnovers. We thought Jerel McNeal was hungover in the first half by the way he played.
-Speaking of McNeal, he takes shots that I hate and wouldn't think they'd go in, but they seem to. There were multiple times where Mach would look distressed and the shot falls in. Also a time where I shouted NO and it went in, Mach just laughs. Neither of us had doubt he would nail that three.
-Dominic James shot consistently from the three point line and it was a balanced attack from James. He did it all last night whether it was drain the big shot or a big defensive spot.
-Wes Matthews is the meaning of clutch, he had 16 of the 19 points in the second half. Nova tried a zone and it didnt work, they had no one who could matchup with Matthews all of the second half.
-Marquette does need to cut down their turnovers, they had 18 last night which is way too high if they expect to contend in the Big East this season.
-Supposedly, I made an appearance on ESPN yesterday after McNeal hit the big three, they showed our reaction which is pretty cool and not my last time on ESPN; heres a video of it....
look at the .29 second mark and left corner.
-Joe Alexander, first round pick of the Bucks sat right by us and he was funny to watch with eating peanuts straight out of the can in one hand, and Hawaiian Punch in the other hand. A true American right there.
-Charlie.
