Wow, while at the game, I didn't realize Dom had such great numbers across the board. I guess I will give it to him.Special Kudos to Rysheed for the backdoor pass to Dom for the slam; and to Phil for getting free for the breakaway dunk at the end. The guys came up big at the end.
Dom was terrific, and Jordan was solid. Greene played well, too. Harrison's injury had a dramatic impact on the game, that Marquette was able to stay in a game that they should have been blown out of.

We aren't that good where we will be blowing out BE teams even with a healthy Harrison
Dom obviously.I know Branch played very limited minutes, but he's our only true PG. I'd like to see him play about 20 min/game. He had 4 assists in only 13 min. He can set-up Jordan and Harrison. Jordan is at his best when he's off the ball.

So when Branch plays you are taking out Phil, Jordan or Harrison and that leaves you with only 2 guys that can score.

Branch just can't score & this team is so limited offensively you just can't give him big minutes. Know he is only one resembling a PG on team, but he can't shoot at all. Used to pull for him getting more time, but can't make a case for that any longer.
I know missed a few jumpers by a yards this year. But I still think he has the ability to score more.

To quote JR Smith"To score, you have to shoot more"He doesn't even look at the basket on the perimeter. Not a criticism of him as he is playing to his limitations, it is just as several have pointed out on a team that needs scoring it is tough to put him out there for long stretches. He is a solid backup point guard. 15 minutes seems right.
