The Friars' defensive problems continue and they trail Saint Peter's at the half, 45-44.
PC had given up 89 and 95 points in the previous two games and now 45 in a half to a MAAC team. What will Marquette do?
That answer comes Thursday night. In the meantime, the Friars have to find a way to win this game. PC is allowing the Peacocks to shoot 51 percent from the field and they've made 7-of-12 shots from the 3-point line. Just as importantly, the Friars have forced a mere four turnovers. The lack of defensive pressure on the ball is a major issue right now and there doesn't seem to be many answers in that department.
PC's offense continues to humm along. The Friars have 44 points on 61 percent shooting with just five turnovers. Great numbers. But right now PC can't stop anyone.
