You mean beat Duke in Dallas. Buzz takes out Houston today.

You don't know that

You mean the dukes, JMU to the E8!

My bracket says we play NC State.

Yeah, after finally getting back to the Sweet 16 I’m not looking past ANYONE

You mean the potential elete 8 matchup might be tough? I agree

Bring ‘em on. No fear

Message board can look past teams. Doesn't impact the team at all.
And if it annoys you, it's easy to avoid the topic.
-
I'm not worrying about anyone. NCState outcome will be dictated by what MU does, not what the Wolfpack does.
So, no worries.
-
No problem beating Houston. Did you see how Iowa State crushed them? My bracket has all four 2 seeds making the finals.
-
I'm focused only on tomorrow's practice.
-
We need to beat NC State in Dallas.
-
Same annoys the hell out of me
Fear and loathing annoy the hell out of me. Fear of every opponent.
Loathing of your own sweet 16 team.

Fine. I will ignore them here just like I do when you panic in the game topics.

I want to play Buzz

My bracket is still perfect but I’m not surprised

Fair enough. I get into the games. I vent and use hyperbole in game threads. stay clear maybe

We need to get DJ Burns on a GLP-1 pronto!

Respecting an opponent is not fear of the opponent and hardly fear and loathing of your own team.

I think tower is talking about Johnny's wacko game topic posts.

Oh, I try not to pay attention to the personal pissing matches that go on here.
But there are plenty of posters who pull out COLE, Eeyore, pants pisser, etc. when anyone even suggests that an opponent might give MU a tough game.
-

I respect every opponent. Fear and loathing in every game thread. Zero respect for that.
-
Watch for MU to do Burns exactly what they did to Lampkin. Just PNR the crap out of him to open things up in the lane. Completely counter his offensive prowess by making him a complete liability defensively.

You forgot “Marquette Worriers”
-
Would expect the Houston crowd will also be cheering for the lower ranked seed on Friday. That said, I think we as a team (Kolek especially) feed off a gladiator in the pit mindset. Control the positive energy the opposition may pull from it and I'm less worried.

I get that. And, just as they are expressing their opinions, I am expressing mine.
I respect every opponent. But tell me, what can NCState show MU that MU hasn't faced the last two seasons. And gone 55-16.
MU is not overrated.
MU is not overlooked.
MU is more disrespected by their own fans than by national media.
MU is not a gritty underdog.
MU is not a cute human interest story.
MU has plenty of NBA prospects.
Oso, Stevie, Kam, Joplin, Kolek, Gold, Chase do not suck and should not be nailed to the bench.
Shaka does know what he is doing.
Wisblue, quit defending whiny, mopey, self loathing fans.

I have completely mentally blocked out any poster that lacks knowledge of the sport. This is a special time, a special team, a special coach and folks that do not know ball are not to be taken seriously. Too much work has been put in over the past three years and anyone that is not a believer is missing out on a golden era of MU basketball.

Relax everyone, were in skip a game crazy mode
JMU!
Even more looney toons: CREIGHTON!!
WHY STOP THERE: UCONN!!!!!!

I’m not defending them, but criticizing people who go out of their way to jump all over anyone who even hints that MU will have a tough game. And there are some.
Maybe if some other posters would ignore the ones who are saying the kinds of things you listed they wouldn’t post as many. Or just ignore them instead of clogging up threads with even more crap.

Early line has Marquette -6.5.

I am sick of these idiot naysayer posters on here!!! I have decided I don't wanna see their posts, so my list of IGNORE has increased. I can handle civil, honest and informed comments/opinions, but those who just wanna post stupid contrarian comments, Im done with them !!! It does get old when I have to see their posts when people "QUOTE" them, but I can't control that. So I just do what I can do... GO WARRIORS ! ! ! 8-)

Very good post. However, it was totally reasonable to have some concern going into the Colorado game. That was a very good team. 22 in Ken Pom. 3 NBA players. Pretty good roster continuity/experience and same Coach in place for 13 years.
For those Scoopers who thought we'd steamroll Colorado, that was fantasy.
Now as it relates to NC State - they aren't as good of opponent as Colorado. In fact they will be the lowest rated Ken Pom team (55th) left in the tournament, unless Yale knocks off San Diego State
-
Elon, they are all good teams. Respect for them all. It is time to embrace that MU is a good team, too.

But what about next year?

Nothing disrespectful in a Sweet 16 game if MU is made a 6.5 point favorite and a -270 favorite on the money line. That's a lot of respect for a neutral court tournament game, IMO.
-
Message board can look past teams. Doesn't impact the team at all.
And if it annoys you, it's easy to avoid the topic.
Scoopers should start labelling threads "Safe for Johnny / One game at a timers to read"
-

Invitation accepted, meanwhile will enjoy my trip to Dallas with my unwashed lucky Butch jersey, LTFG!

Let's beat NC State first.
And I'd rather have to beat Houston in Dallas than have to beat Houston in Houston.

There is a difference between "We're good but XXXX is gonna be a tough opponent," and some of the outright sh!t-stains-in-the-shorts Eeyores that post here.
tower's post was outstanding. As I like to remind people -- Marquette's an effen tough team to match up against, too. Marquette's opponents have to play a talented, experienced, well-coached team, too.
We're in the Sweet 16, for cripe's sake! All of our opponents from here on out are supposed to be good to very good to great. And Marquette's pretty damn good, too.
-
Same annoys the hell out of me
Welp, I talked about the NCAA tournament during the Big East Tournament because I cared more about the NCAA tournament.
Before we played Western Kentucky, I talked plenty about which team I'd want to play in Round 2.
Before we played Colorado, I talked plenty about which team I'd want to play in the Sweet 16.
And before Jop's free throws, I guaranteed the buddies I was sitting with that he'd make them.
All that worked out pretty well. You're welcome!

Big Boomer energy in this thread. A bunch of grumpy old men “bah, you don’t fan the way I fan so I have no respect for you and you don’t know hoops.” Some of you on this board need to relax and let people express the emotions they are having within the game. You are not better or smarter than them because they are reacting in real time. It’s hilarious to me that some of you look down on people who may overreact about a game but you all seem to be the first ones to mock, ridicule, or make personal comments about other people. I’d rather be a bad fan than a bad person and some of you seem so fragile and offended by “bad fans” that you lean into being bad people. You’re like a clique of virtue signaling bullies who like to puff out your chests that your better fans and you’re gonna let anyone who you think is lesser than you know it.

How are they going to work that? The two 2 seeds on the left side of the bracket combine rosters to play the combined rosters of the two 2 seeds on the right side of the bracket?

If you're constantly having to defend bad takes and emotional takes, consider looking inward. Read more, be rational, acknowledge when you're being mean spirited.
Anyone who has to defend themselves from everyone all the time needs self reflection.

I agree with some of this sentiment. There is some condescension in the scoop alternate universe.
But why express that here in this thread?. I must have missed something. The MU team is on a real bender and we're looking at possibly beating a flawed 1-seed less than a week from now for a generational experience.
If feeling strongly, I suggest starting your own thread about the issue and see where it goes.
-
Farley gotta Farley. Thanks for quoting him. I wouldnt have seen it otherwise. And he is absolutely free to express his opinion. And I am free to express mine.
All of us make judgments here about each other all of the time. How can we not? Many here have judged him. I assume he has opinions about some of us. Who cares?
How can you expect to not have bad, weak, wrong, or troll takes attacked on a message board? Snowflake mentality.
-
No one should take anything in a in-game thread seriously, a lot of posts in in-game threads end up looking extremely foolish and people should think more carefully before posting them if they don't want to get called out later. Both things can be true.

There is nothing mean spirited in having emotional reactions to a game. Really look at who is mean spirited on this board and who is not. I can tell you some of the mean spirited folks. Lots of personal attacks from the so called rationale members on this site.

Thanks to Tower and Sultan for perfectly proving my point.
If you can't see that an inability to control your emotions on a message board isn't a problem, then I don't know what to tell you. Yet you are here claiming that it is actually a good thing. Sorry, but that means you're not someone I am going to take seriously about pretty much anything - and neither are many others.
And I think tower and I are the same age...and neither one of us are boomers.

Lol I never said it was good or bad. The only think I said was bad was the fact that you, Tower, VBMG think it’s ok to insult and attack people. Bad people will be bad people I guess.

Nah, you perfectly proved mine, snowflake.
Tower proving he’s not the good man in his Bible quote. Funny how the Bible thumpers always end up being the worst human beings.

If you think I am a bad person because I claim you post like an out of control little child, so be it.
I'll treat it like I do the rest of your opinions here - ignore it and move on.

I have Farley on ignore for a reason. Shame on me for wasting a nanosecond of bandwidth on him.

I wonder if it's a mathematical anomaly because we have a "weaker" S-16 opponent and the other half of the bracket is more even....so our number looks better than Duke or Houston individually.

also says "I already have a futures ticket on Marquette to win the tournament at 30-1, and given what I’ve seen thus far, I see no reason to deviate from that selection. "

Saw that but he quotes a number from an oddsmaker and then voices an opinion ..so I separated the two. If we win and get the line over whomever, I'll be convinced. But it seems everyone doesn't trust Marquette to advance to the FF except us.
