#11 seed NC State will play #2 seed Marquette in the Sweet 16 tonight. Here’s a look at the Golden Eagles before tipoff.
Marquette is ranked 8th in the AP Poll.
They lost to UCONN 57-73 in the Big East Tournament Finals.
As a team, they shoot 48.2% from the field, which ranks 23rd nationally. Their Effective Field Goal Percentage is 55.5%, which ranks 15th.
Marquette ranks 15th in Assist/Turnover ratio, 26th in Scoring Margin, and 26th in Assists per game.
Junior Guard Kam Jones leads the Golden Eagles in scoring, averaging 17.1 points per game, shooting 50.3% from the field and 41.4% from three.
Senior Guard Tyler Kolek averages 15.3 points and a team high 7.9 assists. He leads the nation in assists per game. Kolek shoots 49.7% from the field and 39.7% from three.
Senior Forward Oso Ighosaro (6’11”) scores 13.6 points per game, and leads the Golden Eagles in rebounding, averaging 6.8 per game. He shoots 58.1% from the field, which ranks 28th nationally.
Junior Forward David Joplin (6’8”) averages 11.0 points per game.
Henderson loves that corner. He can hit the open 3 from there and he is really good at dribbling down the baseline and finding the open man in the paint. He’s going to add to our perimeter threat and take pressure off of Mav.
Hicks reminds me of Richard Howell. He doesn’t demand the ball, and he will do all the dirty work… rebound, set screens, defend, fight for loose balls. And he’s a great passer on top of that. BJ is a disappointment. I was really hoping he would come in around 270 lbs. He is just not serious about being great. Spencer has a great stroke but he can’t play D to save his life.
Yurt7 is at least a year away from dominating at the college level. He has great footwork and is infinitely patient with the ball so he has a good base to work with. However, he is lacking in upper body strength. Once he packs on some muscle to his slight frame, he will dominate college centers.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Torin is the leading scorer on this team. Kid is physical and explosive. He loves slashing to the basket and doesn’t shy away from contact. If he can shoot consistently from mid to long range that will really open up his offense. He doesn’t seem to have high level PG skills but as a SG he can do damage.
Maverick has been hitting the weights. He plays much stronger through contact, rebounds, and plays defense. He won’t be relied in so much for his offense this season so he needs to maximize his possessions.
Wolfer96 have a lot to say. I had no problem with gopack streaming. it might be your computer.
I have fiber to my home so I don’t think it was me. Plus I don’t seem to have any problems streaming hbogo, netflix, or espn.
I didn’t have any issue, and I have 200 down. For 1080p you really only need 5-10 Mbps down. Obviously more is better. Stream wasn’t 1080p though. No problems here. Oh, and crashing would be something to do with your computer, like maybe your browser. Also, if you had Ad Block running, there would be your issue.
Plain and simple, it was you.
If I had ad-block running I wouldn’t have been able to watch it at all. And the “I didn’t have any problems so no one else should” is anecdotal. It’s like saying that you never had a problem with your Dodge Neon. That’s good for you but the majority of owners did have problems.
i streamed the game fine. 0 problems with my crappy internet
BTW, gopack.com stream sucks monkey balls. I mean I must have watched maybe 3 minutes of that game in total because of all the lagging and crashing. If they don’t have the infrastructure to handle 50 people streaming they need to partner up with youtube and give the fans a proper stream.
Would like to see Shaun Kirk get more minutes. Not only for the highlight dunks but this kid brings high energy to his team and crowd. He just needs to work on shot selection, defense, and continue to hit the boards and dunk everything.
I thought Abu did well statistically but he still seems a bit soft around the rim. He should be trying to rip the rim off the backboard every time he is near the basket. If he can continue to pull 10+ rpg and becomes an above average defender, he definitely has a place in the NBA.
I am stating it now. I am Markell Johnson’s biggest fan! Kid has starter quality, passes well without turning the ball over, and has explosive athleticism.
This is the most excited that I’ve been about Wolfpack basketball since the recruiting class of CJL, Zo, Harrow. Hopefully this season will turn out way better.
Dennis was Dennis. He is what he has been advertised as being. Explosive, attitude, winner. Problem is that the guys around him are so unused to getting passes that they are turning the ball over. The last several seasons were all about a one man show of Cat Barber and TJ Warren. Have to reprogram these guys back into a team concept on offense. I think that will come with more playtime together.
