That arena looks empty...

[Blackman]

Guess the fans aren't all that into the NIT either:shrug:

Probably tough to fill the place on such short notice.

 

[GFarrow8410]

Marquette ain't missing... damn...

 

[mjalam]

thats because theres do defense...which is what i hear toledo's weakness..and now i see

 

[Wilson]

marquett carving the up....toledo one and done every time down court

 

[Blackman]

Toledo reminds me of the 16 seed that knows they don't have a chance so they are going to just throw up prayers all night.

Not sure why they have employed this strategy tonight though.

 

[GFarrow8410]

6-7 from 3 is hot shooting no matter what way you look at it

 

[GFarrow8410]

14-3 toledo run, not bad

 

[mjalam]

i thought some guy named triplett was supposed to be good...i haven't heard his name at all

 

[gman2]

valencia has really come on strong the last week or so. hes really giving them a nice inside presence.

toledos gotta shore up that defense. scoring points is the least of their concerns. they can score with anyone in the country. they just cant stop any damn body

 

[GFarrow8410]

He hit their first and last 3 in the half. You know the shot that almost hit the ceiling that went in... that was him...


Only down 4 at the half, pretty clear who wants to win this game and who doesn't. Marquette clearly has more talent, but Toledo could outwill them to a victory (or cover) tonight. Toledo on a roll. Deiner scares the shit out of me though.

 

[gman2]

no official stats but i think deiner is up 9-8 on triplett at halftime

 

[Blackman]

9-8 is correct according to the box score on espn.com - could have been ugly but Deiner is in a sharing mood tonight - 8 assists I believe already.

Still feeling good about that prop - Deiner was pretty hot and Triplett was only 3/8 from the field.

 

[GFarrow8410]

game of runs.. hopefully Marquette's ends soon and Toledo can go on their own run

 

[gman2]

between kentucky and marquette, im a little tired of watching my opponent shot 56 or 57% from the field

 

[Blackman]

Amazingly enough we've still got a shot at the Triplett v Deiner prop...

 

[Blackman]

Not if he misses his ft's

 

[Got5onIt]

Went away for a few minutes and came back to see marquette kicking the shit out of Toledo! WTF!!???
Marquette is shooting 57% from the feild, 61% from 3??!!!!

 

[gman2]

amazing how a 2 point toledo lead with 10:00 to go turns into an 18 point deficit down the stretch

 

[Got5onIt]

Does Toledo only shoot jumpers & 3 pointers??? No easy layups, dunks, put backs, etc.?????

 

[TJBELL]

Plenty of missed free throws too!!!! :shrug:
