Let me introduce you to the Marquette Golden Eagles. The most inconsistent basketball team in the NCAA right now. I cannot tell you how frustrated I am with this team right now and how critical this lost was today at UConn. There were nine teams in the Big East with two losses and two of them had four wins as well. Now we end up in the middle of the pack with Syracuse.
So from now on in Big East play, I will have to worry everytime they leave the state of Wisconsin. Check out this stat alone: At home, they have won all three games by an average of twenty-one points and on the road they have lost all three games by an average of seventeen. You get what I mean? They had one close call against Seton Hall but the other two they just demolished their opponents. So what gives?
I think that first off Dominic James injury is a lot worse than we know about and I really think that Tom Crean should of rested him today so in case his injury kept him out of a game, Maurice Aker would be ready to lead this Marquette team.
Jerel McNeal has seemed to lose his offensive concept in the last two games; he has been tentative to shoot a mid-range jumper that he has knocked down in the last two years. Also Ousmane Barro and Dwight Burke has been dominated by the big men of Notre Dame, Louisville, and UConn plus they cannot keep themselves out of foul trouble.
The upside of these two losses is that Lazar Hayward and Wes Matthews have been playing very well and showing the only life the team has had in the last couple days.
So dont blame on the blue jerseys, dont blame Coach Crean either because its not his fault if shots do not fall, the only issue I have is some of his lineups seem rather off. They have a week to prepare for DePaul at home so I hope it will be successful.
Charlie.
