WWE @ MSG

[tower912]

1.  Kam, ewwwwwww.  Just dumb. 
2.  Stevie, Ben, Joplin, ewwwwww.
3.  If you have watched SJU at MSG this season, you know that they are next level physical and are rewarded for it by the officials.  They feed the crowd and then the crowd feeds them.
4.  How about that bench? Zaide, Tre, Royce showed up.
5. If the bench tonight is the new normal, MU's ceiling just got higher. 
6. Chase can run the point next season.
7.  Rebounding.  More ewww.  See: SJU
at MSG.
8. Old school Big East war.
9. MU never folded.  'Fans' questioning MU's toughness are morons.
10. Taken in isolation, helluva game, helluva battle.  11 v 12, toe to toe.
11. Taken back to back with UConn, painful. Had looks, had chances, alas.

Wish the boys would've been given a chance. 4 on 3 starters, 1 fouled out. And all of them well before we tried to foul to extend the game.

Good effort by the bench and guys who were allowed to play. Congrats to the Big East for getting SJU to 11-1.

We were bullied tonight.  You can't expect to win if you can't rebound the basketball.  That said St.J will not get that whistle in the tournament.

Easy money and when the under 10.5 BE wins hit, oh baby!

[MUEng92]

I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of this season.  Yeah, that's all I can bring myself to say one February 4, 2025

[21Jumpstreet]

Number 5 is definitely a positive, I didn't think the effort was there, but the bench was great

[Aircraftcarrier]

Until Marquette gets a front court player that can rebound and protect the rim this result win occur more against good teams

[CountryRoads]

St John's and their crowd really have it down where they play extremely physical and when a whistle is finally called on them they act shocked and like they were completely screwed.

[Small Orange Soda]

All three seniors played poorly.

If the game plan is to shoot threes, then recruit guys who can make threes.

[Uncle Rico]

If you look at Marquette's wins the last 4 years, they haven't beaten a good team and that's why they've had such middling results.

[Johnny B]

one convincing performance since Wisconsin and it was against a horrible squad. hope they can win Saturday cause 3 straight losses is brutal. Worst part about this is accepting we may have to revise expectations. 2 seed is pie in the sky at this point. 4 ir 5 is more realistic. Seems we kind over performed in non con. Just sucks

[Eye]

Excellent headline. Felt like a big-league wrestling match.

[MUEng92]

Hey, MU almost doubled their assist total from the UCONN game. So there's that.

[Aircraftcarrier]

They had Oso to protect the rim. He wasn't a great rebounder but he was adequate and played good defense. They don't have that this year. Uncle Rico bad response

[Big Papi]

I don't know what a foul is any more. We had some very dumb fouls but that disparity is not what it should be.

Kam decision making had been awful.

Jop has been awful overall.

Gold other than defending has not provided any offense lately.

Thankfully Zaide and Parham stepped up offensively.

Rebounding was atrocious.

I don't like our offense right now. Very disjointed which is a huge red flag considering we are in February.

Stevie absolutely had two very ????? Calls back to back

[tower912]

23-4 remains intact!

[warriors141]

After this game the first thing you think about is the refs? The seniors and Gold beyond awful. When is the last time you have been really thrilled with a Marquette performance?

[Big Papi]

Agreed.  Hoping Clark is the answer.

To whom are you speaking?

[Judge Smails]

The toughest part of the schedule is almost over. Can't wait for DePaul on Feb 11

[Uncle Rico]

They had Oso to protect the rim. He wasn't a great rebounder but he was adequate and played good defense. They don't have that this year. Uncle Rico bad response

I mean, Oso had a 4.7 blk% last year.  Joplin's is 4.2%, Chase is 3.0% and Gold is 3.9% this year.

The defense is statistically better this year.

[Big Papi]

Hey, MU almost doubled their assist total from the UCONN game. So there's that.

Excellent point.

5 assists vs Uconn
9 assists vs STJ

This offense is broken. Adjustments need to be made.

[MuggsyB]

The frustration I have is the lack of poise and sometimes leadership.  Because we're way too experienced to make some of these mistakes. The effort is there but we go through these mind-boggling stretches on both ends of the floor.  We need to turn things around, pronto.

[AlumKCof93]

Agreed the refs were horrble tonight, and that was the case throughout. As the game went on, Marquette did foul under their basket too often, but the refs controlled the game.  That said, the following was also true.
- best two players on the court were Richmond and Luis. By a wide margin
- our seniors are too experienced to play that poorly.  Was true for each of them.
- Joplin can't play that poorly.  His floor should not be that low.
- Shaka needs to get a T. Had multiple opportunities tonight but played good cop.
- Ben needs to play with confidence. He plays hot potato on offense.
