Marquette vs Purdue | 2023.11.22 | NCAAB Game

done so well for so many years, good crowd, good Live and ready to go here in the championship

game

of the All State Maui Invitational and it's Marquette with the first possession of the

game

, igodo guarded by Edie and Tyler K comes in and takes an early lead . missing KCK is a great left handed point guard and can really pass the ball with full control of this Marquette offense. The starting lineups are brought to you by Hawaiian Airlines kak, reigning Big East Player of the Year, cam Jones, excellent score, David Joplin. Big East Sixth Man of the Year a year ago now as a starter, we talk about agaro and Stevie Mitchell does a little bit of everything for this Marquette team and they have some dangerous players coming off the bench, also dangerous and Speedy mhm. especially when Shawn Jones enters the game at 510, good luck staying in front of him and Purdue's starting lineup of course centers around Zack Edy, but some fantastic guards, Brady Smith, give lessons to lawyer Lance Jones, a graduate transfer from Southern Illinois and Trey CAU Ren.

Also, Marquette starts with the one, two, three-quarter court press just to slow his progress, they have to guard him for less time once he crosses half court. Wow, Cofin Ren is strong and he needed that strength to make that shot. on that left shoulder he has a great jump hook with his right hand, Marquette trying to extend the court, he is going to execute a lot of offense through igodo, there is the transfer, he recovers it from a kick and puts it well, another player, Igodo bear, that's very good. In a short throw situation, those are not easy shots, but it is very good.

Bren Smith, a freshman on the Big 10 team a year ago and is better this season as a sophomore, got a trade, got Stevie Mitchell on Zach, Edy Jones misses. the three and the rebound to cam Jones for Marquette wide open Stevie Mitchell Hoffman Ren the rebound the rebound is an area that Purdue needs to exploit in this game, especially on the offensive end Smith to the bucket to put it in C and red did a great job protecting his defender, so he couldn't help that drive Purdue a 10-point win over Gonzaga in their first game a four-point win over Tennessee yesterday in the semifinals when Cam Jones answers for Marquette, they were down 12 to UCLA in the second half on Monday they made a run of 170 one by two and then beat Kansas by 14 in the semifinals good pressure on the ball, a little high, low, but because of the pressure that Goin put on Kaufman Ren, he couldn't.

I don't see the inside of Zach Ed now this year Matt Payner was picked to at least start two big guys with Trey Koffman Ren, who operates very effectively in that low post, got a really good jump hook and really did a good job guarding to Joplin there. so he couldn't move to try to upset that Braden Smith drive, they're always trying to give Ed a touch underneath at the moment. Ste Mitchell is on, you can barely see him due to the size difference and Igodo is running loose. The wall pulls crossfield to Mitchell Joffin with the ball comes in with the size of ed0 made him kick it back smart decision Ham Jones, the lefty, places it with his right, but just that pass outside there is an open half and Marquette is going to look. to drive at every opportunity to get it in the paint and spray it, but they didn't have to spray it there, it made it to 10 Edy, still, to give it a touch, it comes out to set a ball screen, here they got the switch I just need to look at it, but look how Mitchell is sitting on his legs breaking contact to move to the front, but your lawyer, who had 27 in the semi-finals, knocks one down from the baseline.

The lawyer got into trouble at the first ballgame, but not since what. a pass from Pam Jones to Oso igodo Mark for four just left hand around Zack Ed who stepped up to help, no one turned down, igara, wide open, just beautiful basketball again, Edy comes out to set a screen, look how Mitchell is getting low and just trying to use some leverage and bother editing cool Kaufman Ren knocks one off Beyond the AR Ball's loose maret got it rolledo left it a little short but they got it back and then he took it off of Edy to keep it Poock alive with a running jump Hook the glass old school, that was nice, great feel of the game, caught the ball in the corner, can spin you, plays at different speeds, very difficult to deal with and what such a magnificent pin. he is and they are coming in and a foul was called on Marquette, a good start for the golden eagles here against the boiler makers, which I would rather not do again, but these guys are fighters and Stevie Mitchell is a great defender, there is a touch. and I can go to work who they double there comes with Shawn Jones oh that pass was almost stolen and it's actually Chase Ross Bo, they are so fast on both ends of the floor, igodo gave good feedback to Jones still a ton of time left on clock Jones changes the game against Kansas with his speed also hit the game winning three in the UCLA game.

Jones couldn't get him to come back now, Boilermakers are just looking to establish themselves offensively right now, so So far, even though Marquette's pressure has been intense, it hasn't been chaotic and that's what the product needs to avoid: getting stuck in a chaotic game. Ed is a little strong and a lack underneath. I think they got Cam Jones from Marquette trying to block. out Mason Gillis Purdue is the best rebounding team and that is where Marquette can give up some things, they are not great rebounders but at the same time because they take care of the ball very well.

Marquette is a big loss marquet last year plus five and another miss from Marquette this one on igodo, which is his second, which is big 523 in the game Bear igodo goes to the B and Marquette changes Ben Gold enters the game from New Zeeland, he's big and can really shoot from the perimeter, but he doesn't have smart range there. By igodo, you made Bren Smith go out to the middle of the court and sent him there without fouling. Both teams do a great job moving the ball. There's a high and low look at EDI and Shawn Jones holds him up.

He finished over Edy on the switch. on the screen and roll and this will be a team effort for Marquette to try to prevent Edie from having a big day, but it really starts with pressure on the ball and Ben Gold just can't put enough pressure on the perimeter to keep that ball going. brought in by Vision to keep him out Marquette committed five fouls in less than six minutes of action, a good fake side step lawyer buries it well, he's looking at a big bucket right now after that 27 point performance in the semi-final against Tennessee.

Ben Gold made a couple of 3's in the semis misses his first try here today, yeah he hit one against Illinois, also here comes Edy again, there he goes Smith got the switch, now he kicked Edy, just throw him to the patch and another lack. Ed wants it. It was a shooting foul, but I don't think he was called in the act of shooting, it was before the ball got there, but he puts that pick in now, Kik has to pick it up and since Shawn Jones is in quite a helping position well, they didn't. I don't want to throw it over the top, but sooner or later, if you move the ball, it'll be angled toward the basket and the defender on his hip, Smith on the bench, so they already have 16 fouls on Marque and the next one puts Purdue in the line, Mason.

Gillis with a three in the corner can get going, remember last year he had that 29p point first against Penn State and hit eight threes in Macky Arena, one of the underrated stadiums in the country. Macky is awesome amen Shawn Jones vs. Tyler KCK who misses a chippy. I think he felt Ed's presence there, everyone in the building feels the presence of a reigning wood prize winner. Tam Heidi with a nice F in the corner can't knock it down and crashes the rebound. Edy was very open and needed to receive the ball. There he's only had one field goal attempt so far in this game, he's drawn a lot of fouls, but that's before he can shoot from the camera.

Jones turns, takes some contact and finishes. Ed wasn't around the basket because he had to be on the outside. the perimeter that protects Ben Gold because Gold can knock down a three-pointer near the three-point line comes looking for him again. The lawyer driving takes some contact and scores again. He just took his hand off and turned the corner and that was a strong Drive even. If you missed it, Zack Edy was there for the offensive board, seven already for Fletcher's lawyer and two more, four on the other end for Cam Jones, he has eight, the same quickness that Marquette has, they had so many paint opportunities in the semifinals against Kansas, it's a different type of paint splash, but they get in the paint, they help draw it and they can spray it.

Gillis enters. Ed has the offensive rebound and the high percentage continues well. The play doesn't end after you run Mason Gillis outside the three-point line. Ben Gold for three Gillis the rebound really good minutes at the beginning of Gillis that painter has a lot of options, but Gillis has a lot of experience and I like in this lineup in the point four an advantage that helps the defender Ed to double team and this one is stolen Ham Jones has a trailer, I didn't know it and he's out of reach for Purdue, a missed opportunity there because Marquette couldn't tell if he mishandled the ball going to a distributor like it happens in the college game, yeah I got a text that not too.

He has long reminded me of my friend Dan Lewis of Pepe Sanchez who played at Temple and it's a good call. Yes, Ethan Morton is registered in the game now for Purdue. Painter Matt has more bodies this year. He has gone 10 deep regularly. In this tournament maybe that will tighten up later in the season, but right now they have a lot of guys. Boy Smith, good work by Dillis to get to the corner, but he left the shot short, recovered it, but not for long. Marquette recovered and ran it. from the three point line, look at the speed down the court for Marquette as Shawn Jones just accelerates there and Norman picks up the bucket.

Very good vertical competition from Ethan Morton, but Norman just took that hit. Zach on the bench right now Caleb. First they get some minutes in the middle and another turnover, they just converge when you see an opening and Marquette just closes it down. They are relentless, they don't give up on plays. It's one of those teams where you want to count them and say. there's only five of them, it feels like there's more, yeah that's a good point, I mean they're just turning into that left hand, it's very creative with a great feel, one point lead, Marquette beyond the point midway through the first half, cut by Smith. out by Norman finds Gillis Norman with a big assist Shawn Jones had a lot of pressure he was taken out and then Norman was there to pick up the ball well hard screen there first Norman stood up first the kick Morton the extra pass everyone gets a tag and Smith takes down all three how nice it is that Bren Smith cut his nails this morning that's how close it was Co. we have some fun matchups in the back how about this one right now?

Shawn Jones for Marquette Lance Jones for Purdue no relation two of the fastest guys you'll see in college basketball Marquette is so good at cutting up that pass but he didn't make it to Target. It was certainly on time when the Golden Eagles committed the first turnover, yes, and they are a very low turnover team. Where you know the margin comes from, it's not going to get to the glass or at least it hasn't in the last year, but they get extra possessions by taking good care of the ball and then forcing turnovers when you can use Tyler KCK as a blocker in pick and roll and then you hit him on the short throw, he's a playmaker.

B gold comes up on his call, called the foul and the seventh on Marquette, so it's one and one now for Purdue Gold is going to sit, that's his second, so god daro has two Gold has two Marquette is very small Right now Edy isn't in the game right now, but he will be soon, that's something Ben Gold will adjust to. He forced the action further down the court and extended the catch. I don't need to stick my hand in there and pick up a foul Purdue just committed a team foul on Marquette seven Purdue is in good shape to shoot free throws the rest of the half on every common foul and smart Shaka comes back to roll at some point Here, in the first half, as long as you stay within striking distance, picking up that third foul will be such a big play before the half that you'll have to balance and you don't want to take away your own players' rhythm by keeping them out as well. long sha Jones enters the paint kicks the ball to shoot Norman falls and is tied up and the possession error is going to be given to Purdue what a great defensive job by Lance Jones great closing was a Sprint Sprint Shuffle Shuffle stays in Front and here Edie is coming, so who's going to deal with him looks like it's going to be David Jin for now, but they put you in a ball-blocking situation, it's going to be one of the guards that Stevie Mitchell is looking back at.

I really have to do this again. they can help with ball pressure, right, everyonethe others can help help the only guy who has a guard and ball pressure is the key because you're not going to ask joffin, no matter who, to keep him out of there. If you can rush the passer, you have a chance to take away his vision and the trip named Edy looked like he was jumping a little bit on both feet at the same time trying to turn and look toward the basket. I think the argument is while I was receiving. I fouled first, like wait a minute, I've got guys all over my arm and it doesn't matter as much as the referees say, we're going to officiate it the same as you, you can't, don't officiate it the same way he receives.

He hits harder, you know it will take him longer to commit a foul than most players. Ross surrounding and editing the rebound. BR Smith would usually be able to take that ball and go, but Stevie Mitchell. He had a really hard time making that catch and for Edy to take the risk, he had a good look, he couldn't bring it down. Bodies are flying and here comes Marquette, but Jones Smith steals it. One good look and he buries it. very aggressive off that ball screen action screen from Zach Edy just came out looking to shoot and stand out of bounds Chase Ross that will give the ball back to Purdue with 7-Eleven left and even though Zack Ed hasn't done it he's been a factor as much as you would like in this game so far Braden Smith and company are picking up the best perimeter defenders in the country and Eric Muscleman does a great job bringing his team, but a bunch of transfers and the SEC ACC challenge made Duke will go in there next week, our Wednesday night, if our bosses can convince us to leave Hawaii, we will be lawyers and, away from the dance, we get a call against Purdue.

It seemed like Zach Edy was trying to protect. stop the defender from looking for the lawyer and I think Matt Payer says, come on, the guy said he elbowed him, yeah, there's not much there, it's just that Zack Ed is bigger and easier to see, but Stevie Mitchell in Drive slides through a block behind. by Edy Marquette continues to attack the paint, they are leading in points in the paint battle so far, but Purdue is five of six from three, making it six of seven. Wow, Lance Jones, what a great player he is to transfer from Southern Illinois.

Tyler KCK. Pretty. glance averted by Smith Smith is only 6 feet tall but has a wingspan of 65 kok he is wide open and knocks down a three How much has he improved as a shooter in the last two years? Dr. Smart believes he can shoot over 40% from three. this year he has worked a lot on it Bren Smith turns the corner he made the change Stevie Mitchell again trying to get forward and again they are having a hard time getting the ball to EDI now that he has it he can't hit it what a rebound Gillis stepped back and in a great pivot to get to that left hand and kiss it against the glass, so much attention to Edy Gillis being able to sneak in from the perimeter and get that offensive rebound is so difficult that you know Stevie Mitchell is smaller, but when he gets under Zach Edy it's very difficult and Gillis no one blocked him because they are too worried about Zack Edy Gill is the senior 66 from Newcastle Indiana, some really good minutes today Mitchell on the bench for Marquette Newcastle, that's Steve Alford territory, right?

You better be able to shoot if you live near there. Someone in Indiana can't shoot. In Indiana they ask you to give up the state gold by playing with two. We haven't seen Igodo in a long time for Marquette while he was gone. benched a long time ago with two fouls it looked like Zack Eed might have gotten hit in the eye as he was going down the court now offensively he sets a screen and Ross the rebound as Cam Jones went flying out of bounds still playing with that right eye po look at the kick with a pass poock the three golds knock you out but the lawyers got it for Purdue the lawyer got a lot of fumbles in the semi-final against Tennessee diving to the ground he just had a great game, it wasn't just the 27 points, he had six rebounds and the extra possessions that helped Boy Smith dribble all over the place finally find help.

His lawyer was knocked out for the gold. Purdue got it and a foul by Marquette. Pam Jones just picked up number two. Marquette has some fantastic guards, but. Also Purdue Bo Smith and Lawyer, now sophomores, are playing at a high level and both have very high basketball IQs. Here's the hit in the eye, that's why Kareem used to wear glasses like K. I think he went for the rebound and accidentally touched Ed in the eye, Matt Painter, after that last play, you went up the court a little bit from the bench and you just pointed to a Fletcher lawyer and said he had done a great job with his lawyer coming out of his area and bringing in a loose ball, now BR Smith is on the free kick. line both coaches really appreciate the intangibles, hustle plays that type of thing Ross took a hit and will go to the line one of the most improved players in the market program Chase Ross, a lefty from Dallas Texas, this Marquette team won the Big East a year ago almost everyone backed Olivier maxon's Prosper went to the NBA no transfers to the program shakas smart believes it, if possible, keep him within the program, have the guys develop them year after year after year and that It's probably one of the main reasons why this is as tight a group as it gets, yeah those are tough decisions whether you take a transfer because sometimes you bring a transfer and you bring it in on players that you've been developing and sometimes you know that.

It can be a credibility issue with your players, you have to be very selective with who you bring in, but this is only because both programs produced a great culture for a long time and Shaka Smart has built this Marquette culture in a very short period of time. to be one of the most admirable in the country, six point lead, Purdue, the pressure went up a little, look, Edy moves up and in and the lead is eight badaro came from the weak side, but maybe not . As hard as he wanted just for those two fouls, Poock goes right at Edy and finishes it without fear, he's so good at keeping that ball away with his left hand and still being able to do it, it's like a hook shot instead of a layup open.

In the corner is the lawyer Ed. It's time again who receives the foul. It seems that they have been old, yes, they are six out of eight out of three. Purdue's tinkers are and Purdue on the defensive end has done a very good job running. Marquette off the three point line now Marquette is getting some paint opportunities, but I don't want to say it's by design, but that's what Matt Painter is willing to live with, you know, if they lead and have to score on Zack Edy, they'd rather I have that than be chasing him giving open threes Zack Edy gets to the line a ton because he's fouled a lot, those were his 58th and 59th free throw attempts of the season and this is the sixth game for Purdue Ross turning on the lawyer now.

Shawn Jones lost it on the way up and Ed did a great job by Lance Jones to stay ahead. They're making Marquette take two duros instead of giving the Golden Eagles an open bre. There is a high and a low aspect. Good pressure from KCK Aaro back. playing with two so there's not much I can do and Ed scores yes it's very difficult Ed has improved a lot in the last few years he can do right hook left hook what a beautiful back door cut and a quick one from Shawn Jones and a big bucket for Marquette back to eight, well there must be a feeling of helplessness for igodo though knowing he just can't make that third foul so there's not much he can do with Ed and now he's going with a small zone 3 -2. to try to give her some additional potential protection and have Ed play in the crowd, she has Georgia George Tech, it's an exciting week for football and you can catch it all.

Smith on Edy had a good look, he couldn't convert and is out of bounds. Still, Purdue ball David Goofin was fighting Ed on the inside, but it's so hard that you're trying to break contact. Get in front at some point with the ball moving. Ed will block you and get you a $20 angle on an Uber to get you around. Zaki swim with his back to the bench Ben Gold is watching how low Jones falls in The Stance, making life difficult for Braden Smith in the backcourt, but Jones had a hand on him, so they played. Ed tried to find it first, but they turned him away.

It's very difficult to get a clean pass because Marquette is very active with his hands dropping, knocking it down on Caleb's cut. The first gold falls a little short of the three he can return. Smith is coming, but for the most part Purdue has done a great job of preventing Marquette from getting a three-ounce open pass to Ed for the flush. What a catch he could have easily taken it from that angle, but Ed simply reached out and fought the grip to catch it. He now he has the last eight for Purdue as Cola. He reaches the glass with that kind of hook again and without wasting time he even brings his right hand close to the ball he lifts it off the glass and Purdue takes advantage of every opportunity it has Purdue shot the ball very, very well that K has H, he just did three for the golden eagles, they 1 of seven Purdue is 6 of eight from Beyond the yard, including BR Smith is two of two 1 two2 three4 pressure cor now back at 3-2 this can transform into the man Jade Lowry, a freshman from Springfield to Missouri, came into the game for Marquette Joplin trying to deal with Ed oh and a foul jop thought about taking the whole ball and a big delivery, a pressure delivery right to his right hand , which is where he had the angle for The basket that Joplin got caught inside and just shot it beautifully now Maret fans just watched the replay and are no happier now than they were about 20 seconds ago.

This is the 21st foul committed by Zach Edy in the three games of this tournament and those are just the calls, it draws a lot of attention and you have to be so physical with them, he has drawn five here today with Marquette presumably about to return to the offense, shakas smart has brought igodo back to the game, he really cares about that. Rim like he's going to walk away if he takes his eyes off one of two and it's a nine-point game, Jones good pass, wow, that would have been a spectacular play if Ross could have converted with Ed, you have to do something there. spectacular getting it on Smith a little out of control out of bounds still towards Purdue and here comes Jin again they want to get Igodo out of there so he commits his third foul really limited by foul trouble Four points two rebounds in 8 minutes in the first half for Oso, igodo Smith takes Mitchell with him, does the B screen up for Ed, guy that almost goes in, now he makes it very difficult when Ed sets that screen up, he just rolls to the basket, who's going to block it .

You need a whole gang to block it. He has the final 11 points for Purdue. Give credit to Purdue. They have been determined to get the ball inside and do it through pressure. Ask for it and make the mistake. That is the step forward. blocks that immediate turn to the basket, no one picks it up and you ask Stevie Mitchell to block it and then Mason Gillis takes Mitchell out of the play right after that, I mean, Mitchell is giving up more than a foot and he's giving up . 100 lbs when he connects with Zack Ed could be more than 100 lbs playing against your dad in the driveway when you're 6 K does some two and a half seconds and goes It's an incredible shot for L is blocked As the second half sets up to start, but the golden eagles have a tough task ahead of them, trailing by a dozen, Purdue took Jones off the screen on ed0 and just a double ball screen and the swimmer set a screen returning to the ball for Cam Jones to carried that left hand and lost it high on Ed and got into double figures now with 10 poock with 15 to lead everyone Edy leading Purdue with 13, that's a dangerous pass.

Purdue was lucky to retain possession and then Smith Berries is three and they are 8 of 10 from three-point range, but that's a ball Marquette has to come up with and Marquette usually doesn't get it this time to Jones editing The Rebound Purdue running Lance Jones running and we've seen In the first two games that Purdue played in this tournament against Gaga and then against Tennessee, they really came out of the gate quickly and picked up the pace in the second half versus the first half, Joplin Jones almost traveled into the open chamber to knock her down. Jones came out aggressively in this second half and that's what Marquette needs to do is get some three-point opportunities because Purdue took Marquette off the three-point line in the first half.

Memphis Junior Dan Jones, last week's big player of the week. Bren Smith gets a good view and you can't miss the screen for the action on the screen and in fact you saw Braden Smith take off early almost come off that screen to get out of the Zach Ed Downstream and now Smith with 14 Coen wow y'all They are filling up. That can loosen things up if you really have to get the guys out.shooters, just those paint touches that Marquette gets that will contract the def defense and you can spray it to a wide open shooter lawyer indu double Cham wide man Lance Jones Edy the rebound and the second time the ball movement occurs is so good, a little screen roll with the shaking action and then you can get it in to J going back to col IG adaro guy, those two work well together That was a good basket, but Purdue achieved their initial goal, which is to get Marquette out of that three point line.

The question is, could Marquette make two enough? for Edy that will be his second I don't think Edy would mind committing that foul, you know you're going to fake a shot, he had an open lane to the basket, just let him know you're there in case they don't. yeah I was going to say that's not a flaw of this so Jones on line cam Jones Shawn Jones for Marquette l Jones for Purdue don't you love this list of four Smiths and Jones teams ranked in the top seven of the nation? this tournament in the third place game Kansas defeated Tennessee 69-60 this is the championship game between Purdue and Marquette reduced to 10 and the Marquette fans and they don't need much encouragement, they are making more noise, they are a fighting Bunch, both fan bases are great, Marquette comes out trying to extend the catches, makes sure they put a lot of pressure on the ball knocked down by igodo and will set it up to make it an eight point game, Bo, what a great play.

Not just stepping into the hedge, but doing it with a left-handed swipe took him down and Marquette's rare, easy 9-2 run, which was a fantastic little pass from Smith to Ed to give him a nice pass, right? showed Smith great poise? He didn't panic when he resumed his dribble, he just turned. Mitchell found it, seven left, seven left because Marquette is now finding some open threes in transition. An avenue that was closed for Marquette in the first half is now open, it's open, it has it, but not for long. Mitchell does a great job. take it out of bounds, it will be Purdue Ball when we get back, but Marquette is getting back into this game.

Oho Igodo, in foul trouble in the first. Rainbow isn't a flavor, it's not a collection of flavors, yes, but who can argue with a bill? You can put a lot of effort into watching a guy come here and not have fun. Both teams shoot very well today. Purdue at 58%. Marquette at 56%, but a shot clock violation on that basket won't count well. Marquette is starting to wreak havoc. comes in to Zach Ed, an immediate double and they do a good job covering the perimeter. Bren Smith, a little late at the end of the clock, discovers that opening possession after possession the increasingly rowdy Marquette fans may have upset Ed.

I deflected him and, upon returning from the Boiler Makers, they ran the same play on the one where they wobbled a little bit and then Igodo goes and gets Cam Jones to try to turn the corner. It's a really difficult shot. He got a piece, he got a piece and the people. Purdue will tell you he's a little faster, weighing about 10 pounds less than last year. I don't know about you, I see him more on the defensive end and the offensive end because he has the ability to go and catch. he some of those plays and he blocks some of those things and his ball screen defense has continued to improve.

He primarily plays drop coverage, but he is much better at moving his feet and is much harder to exploit trying to get him away from the basket. Jon Jones finds Zodo now featuring a Miss communication between two guys who normally work so well together Shaka smart NOS there's a long way to go on this one you get a score there and there's a lot more game pressure on Purdue first loss of the game for K is It has been a low turnover game, especially for Maret, only six so far. Low turnover game. Low foul game so far.

Marquette is there on every catch. He needs to get everything he wanted and finally put it home at the second chance. He's just too big and too strong and his hands. they are too good, I have some really good hands to get back up and catch that ball in that crowd, I couldn't catch this one, it hit the ground hard, so did Ross and then Ross got up and missed the follow up, how about Chase? Ross comes back to that play after you run into the Sear Smith Tower finds the lawyer who is wide open, but it's Marquette Bull, those were shots that Purdue was drilling in the first half.

Poock with a runner will not continue, no, Ed, the rebound needs down 19 points 12 rebounds Downs in this game what shape must that

marquette

be in to exert this type of pressure throughout the game Another touch for Edy and he will score boy kic He tried to cut the ball and Igodo tried to give it body, he went out as hard as he could, he couldn't stop it, that was a good defensive exchange that was just a great shot by Ed Badaro. Boy, he's got that point under control, right? Oh, he's so good at that little push shot that's a great touch and If they're going to win this game, they need to keep him on the floor with foul trouble in the first half and get the kind of performance they got yesterday in the semi-final. .

Smith, not this time, that's her first Miss from Beyond. The Arc now four for five big f Shan Jones guy, another one that if he had gone down would have really changed the feel of this game and now a turnover and Shawn Jones came up the field for an easy layup to get it back down to seven. Marette comes with full court pressure, sooner or later the pressure seems to get to Marquette's opponents, they never take a play away from Edy, Ross has stolen it, well you can't just throw it to the offense, you can't just throw it to them to Ed. to look at the back that's where the help comes from and Matt Painter knew his team needed a timeout, could force the other team to take a quick shot or a shot clock violation or any of several things and, as Angel says, it is a great help. part of the Mercado program, well deviations are an indication of effort and if you record it, you know it becomes part of your program, but they also record what they call egbs, power generation behavior and this team plays with a ton of energy.

Edy on the bench. for Purdue, igodo on the bench for Marquette, that ball was still loose and Ross just knocked it out first and it's out of bounds back to Purdue and Ben Gold seems to be shocked, director of this tournament, the Maui Invitational, which I think It's his 40th season this year, 40th season, it all started and it wasn't part of the tournament, but remember Shamad beat Virginia Ralph Samson in 1982 here in Hawaii and that's what led to this tournament happening that wasn't part from Maui's invitation about Jay you. I've probably done at least 20 of the 40 as the gold is going to put Marquette closer and closer and year after year this tournament is so great it's the premier pre-conference tournament in the United States and the pressure on Marquette is really on. starting to come to Purdue. sha Jones with the ball Ben Gold came up for the double team and Lance Jones fumbled the ball which led to an easy bucket for Maret every catch now extended the lawyer's block or Gold looked like he might have gotten a piece but the lawyer he got over it. him and somehow it was a tough hit, a tough individual play by Fletcher's lawyer, he needed it, it required a double dribble.

Look at Marquet Sean Jones, well that's the hard knock Fletcher's lawyer just took, but look at Shan Jones with the ball against Lance. Jones and it's so difficult that he gets so low, but Ben Gold did an excellent job of coming up and hitting the ball twice, but you're so worried about Shawn Jones' ball pressure that you can't think about executing your offense. I'm too worried about Shawn Jones, it was a bit of a funny moment just now, Igodo came back into the game and so did Edie, and as Igodo fell to the ground, Ben Gold pointed at him and said: Do you want it like Eodo just had a bit with a smile and everyone had a little laugh about it Ed circled and fouled as Ross approaches they're bringing the double team right away Mark Marquette is pushing Purdue further down the court they're extending the catches that make passing more longs and Marquette is able to recover, where his ability to help and recover help is one thing, it's the recovery that is so impressive.

Morton drives and blocks it. Edy came out with a loose ball and was fouled. It's a great block from Igodo and you know Morton used it. arm to get right to his chest and I was still able to block it, you know, the NBA, it's an automatic offensive foul to protect yourself from the defensive player with your arm out, that's number four on Ben Gold and Tyler Kic comes back and he's gold. who's going to come out so Marquette is going to get smaller and know they can make it smaller, keeping an eye on Shaka smart on the Marquette bench, he's as into the game as anyone in the building, what a great play by Hodara, they made the run to Smith all the time. towards the middle of the court and another foul, Igodo held Edy and there have been three fouls in this possession that was upgraded to F1, so two shots on the ball, 83 of four from the line, today they entered the game shooting at 74 % from the line. on the season that includes some early misses against Tennessee, which he missed four, five in a row, six, he missed his first six in the game against Tennessee and ended up going 9 of 17 in that game, but he's a good free throw shooter mid 70's last year mid 70's so far this year first back to EDI and that's a kick deflection leading to a steel a big play by K to help Shawn Jones in the corner, Ed is on him, now Ross in the opposite corner and the weak side rebound. first, maybe a little too much help from Purdue, they got away with it, there was no need to flood the lane when he's there, Lance Jones comes up empty and Cam Jones can't squeeze him and he goes back to Purdue. held that one again, he was there extending that left arm, he couldn't extend the right arm because it was being held now look at Edy here, igodo has it again and is hooking it and holding it again look at Garo taking a The risk could There would have been two others on the ball if they saw it and thought it was an F1 and it would have been the fourth too.

They need igodo on the court. Yes, it's hard not to see that he draws a crowd. Can they force it? he gave up, the lawyer came back to him and the IG slam went flying. score with his right, but he prefers that the lawyer on the left commit a foul. They use Ed so well in that high post to cut off Walton. I bring you two more games tonight, just three great days of basketball and some of the other nice events as well. Fletcher's lawyer, very good shooter, misses the first free throw Zack Edy 24 and 12 Tyler KCK 20 to lead Marquette cam Jones 17 the lead is now seven for the boiler makers oh Marquette leads in transition points 13-2, but second chance points largely due to Zach Edy 18 to two for Purdue Well, Shawn Jones can do some things that most people can't do.

He can get places, get there faster, adjust and just make hard things look easy. It's his speed. His game changes the immediate triple team. Jones backs up sha Jones did an incredible job of taking that reverse pass out of bounds yet Purdue's ball Jones has such great speed that it's hard to stay in front of him, he just turns and knocks Fletcher's lawyer back on the 18- 2 for Purdue that's awesome Shan Jones 510 sophomore from Columbus Ohio inuti with 20 on the clock anything you run you can always throw it to Zach Edy if you can't get it on Tyler KCK's Good Help there because Edy was open and their help side defender took that pass now, now Ed has his left hand, no good and Co on the rebound, great possession here for Marquette and a block, the penalty on Lance Jones, only the team's third foul with the half at Purdue, there are no individual foul problems for Mak Kettle.

ERS, the golden eagles have a pair Ben benches with four and igodo is in the game with three Ross has three also KCK short bradden Smith starts the other way because he was trying to take advantage of Ed being taken out in coverage. his speed defense by Braden Smith thought he got hit, how average Bren Smith is having, what a game and what a tournament, that young man is a player, great pass on the cut from the corner, oh and Ross went overboard when trying. to get it off the glass and on Gillis crossing the court towards Jones and the three and suddenly he's back to a 10 point lead, a great find by Mason Gillis to see Lance Jones crossing the court and what a difference Lance Jones makes on this team of Purdue. the defense, the athleticism and the ability to tackle, since there is scope for next year, hey, it's Maui, it's going to be great.

Yukon has had a great history, as has North Carolina at the Maui Invitational, talking about which Yukon will play North Carolina. the Jimmy V on a couple of us that's going to be fun Yukon is really good and Yukon should have Stefan Castle back at M who is a projected lottery pick they are a unique offensive team and they haven't missed a beat ,and Alex Caraban, how much better? since last year he took on a more prominent role and has done so without a problem Yukon in the next three weeks has games against Kansas Carolina and Gonzaga good things for college basketball fans when did they play someone the lawyer can't get past?

Gillis dives and saves Ting kicks it in the free kick clock blocked by igodo what a defender igodo is, he receives so many passes and shots from the sky and P was fouled by Smith. I can't think of many times when you want to shoot a rebound. pass to Zach Ed, turn that thing up man, there was one in the first half where Smith didn't really have a choice and like you said, Poock almost had it, other guys, Marqu, almost had it, but you're right, the advantage. you're at the top, it's that kind of analysis that you're the best in the business keeps me out of the analyst chair.

Continue like this and reduce the deficit to eight. These players have to deplete their G in three days with physicality. for the 3-2 zone now you have to get someone along the baseline to flatten this Gillis in the corner too hard Joplin and the golden eagles coming in the opposite direction when you are facing the Zone you still have to look to penetrate it Chopin for three What a great shot that is for Market, that's his first points of the game, his first field goal attempt of the game, stick with this area. I think you have to try to penetrate some spaces.

A very, very difficult shot for Smith by one of the toughest. young players in the country Braden Smith that guy is a competitor all these guys are competitors but there is a different level of competitor I think it gets to that Stevie Mitchell fouled out on a three point attempt that almost missed clra lawyer will be disciplined for the foul and Mitchell has three free throws coming up, we're back to go, what a gauntlet, produ runs on this one, he's going to play Gonzaga Tennessee and now Marquette, three ranked teams, what is it? 117 421 oh yeah, I mean, this is like playing an advantage in a final. four National Championship, without a doubt, remember that the miss was on a three-pointer, so Mitchell scored the first two, got one more, two of three, the first miss for Marquette, in fact, it is now 10 of 11, the team of the Purdue line only 6 for 11 the pressure that is now very far away has to start an offense, Ed, they held him, it seemed that he kicked it again, he wants it back, he kicks it again and he turned around and Cam Jones was committed a foul, another transition opportunity after the ball and it all came from the pressure that Stevie Mitchell pushed on Braden Smith. further down the court and then Tyler KCK goes for the double team just one bad ball handling and Marquette comes back in the open floor fast break points 16-2 in favor of Marquette who commit the foul of six teams on Purdue, next will be send Marquette to the line igodo isolated with Edy the problem with the pass is that he has Edie there once he catches it almost anyone else you're going to get a shot attempt with another good pass camera Jones finds oo eodo that was magnificent just drawing Zack Ed to him, the little throwback went on to spectacular igodo, there have been many great championship games at the Maui Invitational over the years and you can add this one to the list.

Edy will go to the line for two, well, Ed has been the pressure. released because Purdue couldn't make a pass due to denial, which drew Edy to try to block the shot Brayen Smith needed to turn downfield. What a beautiful pass from Cam Jones. It's a great NBA double header coming your way on ESPN Tonight. Yannis on the Bucks facing Jason Tatum on the Celtics early in the game and then the second G KD on the Suns against Steady on the Warriors cover SS with NBA Countdown it's 7 East, two big free throws for Zack Edy, this is just a little more. of a protection to Purdue in the final stretch and the foul, by the way, was on igodo, so he is playing with four ping shovel passes, igodo again lost it right on Zack Edy and Marquette outside of these screens was able to double the turn the corner hard and press the Lane Marquette is making everyone turn their back, how can you see if your back is turned?

They tend to shoot, they can't put it in. Edy can't run any offense, so Jones picks it up and it's the Marquette ball, a spectacular Marquette defense. a one-possession game with 42 minutes left, Ham Jones, now Igodo Joplin forces him to bring up the loose ball. Maret has the arrow, excuse me, Purdue has the arrow, so Purdue will receive the ball with a 23 minute mark to go to Igaro on this screen and roll. situation, first set screen, then set another one and Tyler KCK was able to get around it to draw the defense in, each team still with a couple timeouts left.

Purdue with the ball and a three-point lead and now it's about Purdue handling the pressure from the right. now it's about Purdue handling the pressure they have, so they have to start the offense so far from the basket that every sack is extended having to turn their back due to the pressure Mitchell pressuring Smith Smith outplays Bo Joplin doing the same lawyer finds Gillis has a wide open rebound to kick in the last minute we are igodo again and it's a one point game when he pivots he will eventually find you and igodo just gets in the middle of the lane so good with that little shot short able to Gently lift this pressure, we've used the term, but here we go, some grass, taking a few seconds off the clock and they get the ball to Ed in a good spot, good recovery by Cam Jones on Fletcher's lawyer, the double team, the kick. out two on the shot Club Smith Ed ticks and it's still a possession game onep the shot clock is off and Shaka Smart will let him play kic not Gillis the rebound and now they have to foul and Marquette couldn't I have argued that any Better forced a tough three-pointer late in the period, but the shot came out soft and Ed was there with his right hand to clear it for another offensive rebound opportunity for Zack Edy.

Six offensive rebounds in this game for Zack Edy. and 10 second chance points, so five of the six of which he got a basket and 20 second chance points for Purdue in the game if my numbers are right and another offensive rebound, oh wow, what a day he's had because they've done the pretty things. difficult for him and he just got over it, it's four against one, they're squeezing him, but he just keeps his hands up and the ball comes out strong and he's on top of everyone, but he misses the front and Marquette still has a shot missing here Jones and Purdue hold on and win a monster game
