Rewatched thoughts on Marquette vs MSU exhibition- Marquette won 86-79 - Very Balanced scoring performance for Marquette, which is a good sign - Not Nigel James Jr best game, struggled with Fears & Scott's defense but still produced nice playmaking - Parham looked the part - Owens was flying around - Bench production was super impressive, FR Egbuonu & Johnston looked very good in limited minutes - Minessale really good 6th man - If Marquette shoots 9/18 from 3 it will be super hard to beat them - MSU 0-2 in exhibition games vs high majors but doesn't change much for me long-term but Izzo needs to change things - The frontcourt is super rough, Bonke has played 10 minutes in last 2 games - McCulloch being the best frontcourt player is scary - Izzo has to play long-term with Ethan Taylor, he only played 12 minutes and they were even in those minutes. By Feb/March he needs to be the starting center, so let him work through it - Ward is brutal right now, Glenn is unplayable at the moment - Positives is they went with the 3 guard lineup, and all 3 played well. They need to lean into those 3 - Not Fears best game but he will be Fears - Jervis showed why he's was a MDAA, 19 (4-6 from 3) in 22 minutes due to foul trouble - Scott continues to show why I'm so high on him - Ultimately, they will be fine in terms of winning games, but if they don't find the right 4-5 spots by March it won't end well
