Glad MU is done playing SJU in the Garden.

1. It won't get any tougher, regardless of who MU plays or where.
2. I thought Stevie was going to get killed out there.  Came close twice.
3.  I said this during the last game against SJU at MSG.  SJU plays aggressively.   The fan whips into a frenzy, which fires the team up.  Great defensive team.  Of course they get calls.  Every game all season.
4.  Kam needed help.
5.  Masterful job by Ejiofor slipping into the space Ben vacated going to help or contest shots.  That is what I want Caedin to aspire to.  That strong.
6.  Ross's F1 changed the flow of the game.  Right call.  MU never regained their footing. 
7.  MU will not face a more physical team in the tournament.  In a more hostile environment.   Phew.
8.  Saddle up.   Ride or die.

If you could make a "2025 Marquette Killer" in a factory, it would be pretty darn close to Ejiofor, guy just couldn't be stopped.

Rest up and pray for a lucky draw.

Great game by the Johnnies. A little physicality is our weakness.

Gotta rest up and hope for a favorable matchup in the 8/9!

Thought I was prepared for this.    I was not.

[PointWarrior]

Up 15 to lose by 16, St John's put us in our place. Team is missing shooters and rebounders. Seemingly you would think this would be an either one for Gold but seems like a neither.

[NickelDimer]

My favorite team in the tourney, MU aside, is whoever SJ is playing.

Also I wouldn't want to play us in the tournament

[The Sultan]

Last loss of the season.

[ATL MU Warrior]

That 2nd half sucked out all the positivity I had built up over the last couple of weeks. Hope we get a good draw and whatever higher seed in out path gets upset in 1st round.  Only way we have a prayer of winning a couple

[MuggsyB]

A couple of things:

We have no answer for Zuby.  Give the kid credit.

We got sped up and lost our composure in the 2H.

I wouldn't glean much from this game as far as future tournament success.

50 - 50 on 1 more win before we can move on from this flailing "We peaked in December again" team.

Let's hear your explanation why we're an 8 instead of a 7.

Either we win it all, or we have another pandemic.

Don't be so f'n soft.

I see I have another low knowledge poster to deal with here. List is getting long.

He doesn't. I've offered a $20 bet we are not an 8. He just likes saying it.

Pretty sure St John's would.  Or is it impossible beat a team 4 times in a season.

[5DollarPitcher]

St John is losing to a clean, three point shooting 15 seed.

There's no doubt in my mind.

Oh, I know. 

[GoldenEagles03]

Let's hear your explanation why we're an 8 instead of a 7.

Just looking at Bracket Matrix it's a very even split between 8s and 7s. We are currently the last 7 with UConn and Creighton right behind us and one of them has to win today.

Also have to think the committee could favor Gonzaga because they are Gonzaga and then Memphis is still playing for a Conference Title. Either of those 2 could pass us as well.

Yeah...you're soft.

[warriors141]

Smart people aren't afraid to change their minds and hopefully this season changed Shakas. He doesn't have enough help on this team for Kam. The recruit and develop strategy can't have any misses...and Ben and Tre are misses. Too many young guys just not ready like some of our past freshman were.

You need to use the portal to at least add a piece to your team. We wont have total portal teams fine, but it looks like the future. St John's beat us 3 times and tonight just rolled us

When they run into the first crew who officiates basketball like most of the world officiates basketball, they'll be in trouble

[Viper]

Scoopers hack on Willie, but he's not incorrect. MU needs shooters and bangers. Shaka is a bright guy, hopefully that's what we'll have next season.
