Tall task, but in the sage words of Legs, doable.
Do we dine on husky livers…wrapped in bacon?
Muggsy, what’s tougher, a pissed off manatee, a husky run over by a moose in Alaska, or a Marquette Warrior?
GO WARRIORS!!!!

If Kam brings that aggressive energy again tomorrow night I like our chances.

Hurley given a tech last night. Here's what he said about their next game:
"I'm probably now the boy who cried wolf because of last game. But I promise you if we play Marquette tomorrow night, there will be no incident because those people are incredibly classy fans and we have incredible respect for them," Hurley said.
-
MU + 9.5 this morning.
-
Fair. A de facto road game.
-
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Hoist some 3s and get some boards and we gotta chance.

Yes it will be unfortunately. Probably worse than last night even.

Hurley talking about getting his T during the StJ game.
"I'm probably now the boy who cried wolf because of last game. But I promise you if we play Marquette tomorrow night, there will be no incident because those people are incredibly classy fans and we have incredible respect for them,"
He does seem to only have good things to say about us.

1st thought: Hey, that’s a cool thing to say about MU
2nd thought: Huh, am I sitting at a car dealership across the table from a salesman trying to sell me a lemon?
-
All year I have said and meant that I do not care about the BET and now I am counting down to tip off. I love seeing MU play games of significance and tonight is another one of those games. This group of guys deserves every accolade they can get and they deserve 100% support from every fan, even ones that claim not to care about the BET. I’m all in tonight.

Some on this board who now hang and evaluate every word out of Hurley’s mouth about us is a giant waste of time. Who cares what he says? We don’t need Danny f’ing Hurley to validate our program.

Pretty sure that was a backhanded insult to PC fans.

Nice to hear those words from Hurley on one hand, but on the other kind of getting “cute little brother” vibes from them. Hope we inflict devastation on their program tonight. They want this one really bad and I think despite winning the NC last year, our success in the BE last year in the regular season and BET still bothers them a lot.

When you have a chance to win the BET on a Saturday night at the Garden, it does mean something. Now, I would not have been heartbroken if they lost last night, but very happy they won. As I mentioned, I hope this group of guys achieve every goal they have, both as a team and individually. They have been a joy to watch and I hope they are cutting down three sets of nets over the upcoming weeks.
LFG!!!

Spot on. We don't need a Big Brother. I understand that the words themselves are complimentary but cannot get what I perceive as condescension out of my head.

When you stated a couple of weeks ago that “It’s Go Time”, the preseason ended for me. You sounded the alarm and I responded.

I was just pulling your chain Goose. My wife likes to rub it in when I expect Marquette to lose a game and then they win.
-

Correct. So why do most PC fans look like they are auditioning for the next season of Jersey Shore.
We are a classy fanbase, but BET is self selecting—takes more commitment for us travel from the Midwest then to hop a train

My wife was giving me hard time this morning about “my not caring about the BET”. She had booked an anniversary dinner tonight at a top joint in town and obviously that is not happening. She did book it for after the game, but she knows that I will be celebrating or down after the game “I don’t care much about”.
It is not a round number anniversary and all is good. You can always celebrate an anniversary or birthday, but MU does not always play on a Saturday night at the Garden, or maybe they do now!!

Love this post. All I have to add is that if Danny Boy was taking a shot at the PC fans, that would be a classic example of the cliche' "A pot calling the kettle black."

I think marriage vows should be required to fully disclose what husbands are in for. For example, include "and do you Goose, clearly understand that your wife shall have both the right and the duty to give you a hard time anytime she so wishes?"

Any idea this game isn’t important is true in many ways.
However, it is important to the most important people in the equation, the players. As fans, we get wrapped up looking ahead. The players are in the here and now. They have a chance to win a title and trophy.
Is it the ultimate goal? Even for them, the answer is obviously no. But they’re ultra competitive and it’s that competitiveness that has gotten them to this point. It’s that competitiveness that will drive them tonight to finish with streamers falling on them as they get another one for the trophy case.
Important? Maybe not. But this isn’t a group happy to be here. This is a group looking to avenge two losses, defend a title and celebrate a great accomplishment.
Just do it.
-
Rico
Spot on. This game is important to the team and that is why I am all in. There is no doubt they want this game tonight.
-
Interesting that MU has a 26% chance to win; +9.5 line. Wisconsin 23% to win; +5.5 line.

I took the dog for a walk just now and as we were finishing our loop we passed a house 100 yds away that a new family moved into last fall. I noticed a random blue flag twisted upon itself on the front of their house and couldn't see what it was. Like a slow motion scene from a movie, I watched it as I walked in front of the house. It finally unfurled into a glorious Marquette University banner and the hair on the back of my neck stood up. A fellow Warrior (or GE) has moved in nearby!!

Would be glorious to win the Big East tourney again… especially beating UConn in the final. And I think there is no way that Shaka and team are bit all-in. They want to win this. The wildcard is Kolek and if ready how much he plays considering next week. Being 9.5 dogs adds another chip on their shoulders. Will be an interesting game that could go any which way.
Could we win? Sure thing. Things just need to fall in place… like threes for example! Goo Marquette!

Hurley is a good politician and it's working for me
-
He's laying it on a little thick but I do think there's a healthy amount of respect there. I think a lot of coaches know how hard it is to build something and have an admiration for how quickly Shaka got this thing cooking without a big spend in free agency.
-
It’s good to know that if Shaka ever moves on we’ve got Hurley waiting in the wings to assume his dream job.

His comments (esp about connection with Cubillan and Burke) does make me wonder if we were at one point on his list. Obviously past that point now.

+2. But, imo part of Shaka's responsibility is to be realistic, prioritize health, and keep the guys' minds right for next week. If UConn gets up by say, mid-double digits, I would have no problem seeing Shaka get the end of the bench minutes. Over the past two days Kam, Stevie, and Jop have all played 70 minutes+ and Oso has played 81. Ross has played 60 and the rest of the team 71 combined. I'm not saying anything we don't already know about our lack of depth, and I know these are young guys, but I think long conference tournament runs can drain teams at the wrong time. UConn is insanely good and discretion might be the better part of valor at some point tonight.

Dont live in CA but was visiting Balboa Island some ten years ago and was admiring some of the homes. I turned the corner and there was a huge Marquette flag in front of one of the homes.
Wondering what Scooper owns that home! Prob worth $8 mil. minimum.

Marquette has an opportunity to make an addition to the rafters at the Fiserv Forum tonight. That does not happen every day or every season. Give them hell tonight!

With Clingan and Johnson in the middle, MU guards and wings will not be able to get good drives to the basket. It will be block city. Joplin also should not do his back dribbling in the paint against Karaban with Clingan behind him. Ugly.
Just guessing MU will be bombs away from three and hope for the best. Maybe at least 30 attempts. Good luck and enjoy the game.

Here’s hoping both teams play hard and have fun tonight. What an opportunity to play at the world famous MSG for a shot at a Big East Tournament Title. Other than getting their degrees, not many better moments in their college career

Mitchell is in the layup line warming up, he doesn’t look comfortable. He was just talking to the Fox sideline reporter, no idea what they said, but Mitchell kept shaking his head no. Take that fwiw.
-
My shoulder hurts the next day if I reach too far into the backseat of the car. I wouldn't be able to move that whole side of my body if I went through what Stevie did the last two days.

Oduro is a dirtbag

Lotsa boos for the MU intros. I’m thinking it isn’t an even amount of fans
-
Stevie should just rest up. Dude has taken a beating. Sore wrist and shoulder. Need him for the tourney.

Couldn't agree more.

Previous or those yet to come?

Finishing the game healthy >>>

Oduro is a thug.

Yah … glad Stevie is not hurt worse after all the dirty $hit from Oduro and Prov
-
Oduro is a thug.
when providence gets left out tomorrow, I will laugh

No.skunk!
-
Beautiful dime from Kam there.
-
Kam has a stinger
-
Cmon Chase.
-
Kam has a stinger
What??
-
Stevie can't even lift his left arm oh my goodness
-
These are the two best teams in the Big East
-
Crazy start.
-
First to 16 wins
-
Well, can’t say I expected the game to start like this.
-
We look tired and banged up.
-
lots of blown layups for both sides.
I have no confidence in Joplin really hitting anything right now
-
Both these teams are nervous - you can tell.
-
Take Stevie out he looks like a cripple out there
-
Well, can’t say I expected the game to start like this.
Shut them out for 5+ mins and get one hoop? Yikes. Very concerned about Mitchell. He doesnt look right.
-
Stevie’s playing with one arm. I’d love to see Oso attack Clingan off the bounce especially when he’s pulled out
-
Defensive rebounding is good so far.
-
lots of blown layups for both sides.
I have no confidence in Joplin really hitting anything right now
Jolp brick?
-
Take Stevie out he looks like a cripple out there
Oduro is America’s dirtiest player!
-
We look tired and banged up.
Amazing how well we have done with all of our injuries.
-
Our defense has been terrific, Need to hit some shots now. Getting good looks which is great
-
Take Stevie out he looks like a cripple out there
I agree. Kid is an absolute warrior but playing essentially with 1 arm will be a likely* a net negative versus giving his minutes to Tre and Zaide.
-
I don't think Stevie can lift his left arm.
-
This is unbelievable
-
Stevie’s fine. Kids a warrior
-
Feeling some impending doom with all of our injuries. Hope Oduro enjoys his career in whatever war zone he can get playing time in
-
Gold battling
-
We need a point guard
-
Wasn’t that foul on Tre?
-
Well he had our chance in the first 7 minutes to build a big lead and weren't able to do it, UCONN will eventually start filling it up doesn't look good for us
-
Most insane 8 mins I think I've ever seen watching college hoops.
-
Oso has to make that shot.
-
Can’t miss these shots vs UConn.
-
Has there been a 20-18 game since 1935?
-
The reversion to the mean gonna be rough here
-
Go to the rim oso why the push shot
-
Oduro is America’s dirtiest player!
Providence is just the worst.
-
Wow - We need to hit these freebies that we have gphad. We will. Keep up the D and get in their grills. Goo Marquette!
-
Go to the rim oso why the push shot
because he only attacks the rim once in a blue moon where he does a thunderous two hand jam.
-
Oso needs to start being a lot more assertive offensively
-
Oso has to make that shot.
Wasn’t he something like 7/17 last night?
-
This pace is to our advantage.
-
Twice as many turnovers for the two teams as made buckets
-
Wasn’t he something like 7/17 last night?
Yes.
-
Third game in as many days. Lots of tired legs out there on both sides. Maybe that's why Ben say so much last night.
-
Way to take the space Oso. More of that.
-
Nice head fake by Oso
-
Let's go now!
-
Kam has been AWFUL so far. Sheesh
-
Kam is very loose with the ball tonight
-
Kam has been AWFUL so far. Sheesh
Really struggling early vs ball pressure.
-
kam jones has to be way better here
-
I can't be the only one here who gets nervous whenever any of our guards dribbles around the FT line.
-
Let’s get it Kam!
-
Double dribble on 10 on that steal.
-
Clingan is pretty unskilled
-
Tf was the foul?
-
Damn, of course the only foul is on the made shot, not the 2 misses before
-
There you go Z
-
Clingan is going for a 20/20 game at this rate
-
Oso getting great looks but he simply has to play with more force. Go strong to the basket and attack Clingan. Use the shot fake and throw the ball down with force.
-
These game breaking giants like clingan and edey.. piss off
-
Because Ben is so soft
-
Because Ben is so soft
Ben has been fantastic
-
Because Ben is so soft
He only gets the easy rebounds, right?
-
Ben has been fantastic
truth somewhere in the middle.
-
Ben needs to front Cligan and jump! Overall, we are hanging tough …. Which team will tire!. Huge three by Zaide
-
Clingan will be out of gas halfway through second half...book it
-
Sorry Gus, saying the Big East refs have been excellent this year doesn’t make it so
-
Huge three by Zaide
Kid has a smooth stroke and smooth game. X factor today IMO
-
wtf is gus talking about with the officiating this tournament?.... dude is clueless
-
Sorry Gus, saying the Big East refs have been excellent this year doesn’t make it so
Tru dat.
-
Gus Johnson "these Big East Officials have been excellent."?????
-
Oso needs to give it a rest
-
Just can’t understand why Oso refuses to attack 1v1
-
This UConn shooting is bizarre. Even from an angle you can see it’s going to miss right after it’s released
-
Has Oso ever taken a regular jump shot while at MU? Serious question
-
Oso needs to give it a rest
Struggling mightily with the 8 foot push shot.
-
unnatural carnal knowledge off ref
-
Gotta do better during the non clingan minutes
-
unnatural carnal knowledge off ref
Cleat push. WTF?
-
uconn guy shoves jop out of bounds, no foul call, gus johnson laughts.......what a piece of crap
-
uconn guy shoves jop out of bounds, no foul call, gus johnson laughts.......what a piece of crap
he said "this is a great game." what a moron. one of the worst big east games all year
-
This is just crazy.
-
Uh oh
-
Going to be great when Uconn goes 12 for 12 from 3 in the 2nd
-
A classic Dick Bennett throwback
-
ZZZZZZZZZZ
-
ZZZZZZZZZZ
BAM!!
-
Give Zaide all the minutes
-
Clinging hacking Zaide, naturally foul on MU
-
zaide lowery is coming in handy.
have to be much stronger on the glass. with how bad jones, jop, and oso have been on offense we are sticking around
-
UConn’s D game still leading :(
-
Clinging hacking Zaide, naturally foul on MU
I didn't think he got that clean. ZL can elevate.
-
Clinging hacking Zaide, naturally foul on MU
It looked like Zaide just held the ball out for Clingon to grab. Pull it down out of his reach immediately
-
Hell of an effort. Defending at a really high level.
-
UConn’s D game still leading :(
We're actually playing very solid D and rebounding well.
-
Offense is hurting but picking up. We need to attack. Make them foul us. Go to the rim! Goo Marquette!
-
Kam is having the strangest game I’ve ever seen him have
-
Has there been a 20-18 game since 1935?
Most Badger games 1996-2016.
-
Kam is having the strangest game I’ve ever seen him have
I suspect he is also just gassed having had to shoulder so much of the load the last two games. I don't know that we fully understand how Herculean of an effort this team is making being down TK and Sean Jones, and playing with a one-armed Stevie Mitchell.
-
Good D Jop!!!
-
Good D Jop!!!
Jop!!
-
I really enjoy games when I’m not bitchin about Jop. Playing great
-
LFG!!

Pretty wild to be here w/o Sean and TyKo to be honest
-
Finally a midrange!!!
-
Mu Goodness Oso.
-
He can pass when 3 shorter player try to triple team him and all his teammates are unguarded
-
Instead of the floater oso should go full steam to the rim there.. like you’re a huge athletic dude.. he probably at least draws a foul
-
been hating on him for 3 games now but that was a hell of a stretch by jop!
-
Jop with the step-back!!!
-
Jop!!
Excellent sequence from Jop.
-
Jop just decided it’s his world
-
So far. So good. Playing Cling-on decent. Need to play him a little more physical.
-
Instead of the floater oso should go full steam to the rim there.. like you’re a huge athletic dude.. he probably at least draws a foul
No doubt. But it also dumbfounds me why he doesn't have a normal jump shot. And why is he rushing with no one near him?
-
That sucked.
-
That sucked.
Yep momentum gone
-
Clear push off
-
Bit of a push off?
-
Jop just decided it’s his world
Amazing sequence for Jop...steal..bucket..block shot..step back bucket. Wow.
-
Weird half. Thank god I’m high
-
We don't have one of our top 2 players on the court, we are hangin' in there. The 'Quette needs to hurt Cling-On.
-

He should be posterizing Clingan
-
Weird half. Thank god I’m high
Take care of yourself Rico.
-
i am fine with the oso finesse game if he is hitting those push shots......but the last few games he just has not. dude needs to be way more aggressive in the 2nd half
-
Bit of a push off?
Wasn’t even close. Newton stopped and Mitchell went passed. Great shot by Newton. Obsession with refs is unreal
-

*one and a half
-
Real talk. Half to play the first 4 minutes of the second half even. Can’t have to chase them down
-
Great half. Love the fight from the guys. Think if we can survive this first 4 min, it’s anybody’s game.
-
If you told me 50 minutes ago that UCONN would need to hit a 3 at the buzzer to take a 2 pt lead at half, I’d be pretty happy to be honest
-
Wasn’t even close. Newton stopped and Mitchell went passed. Great shot by Newton. Obsession with refs is unreal
I was just asking.
-
Oso, eff the floater, drive and dunk the %$#*& ball. It's there.
-
Really impressive defense from Jop, and pretty good rebounding save for a few lapses
-
Overall, we are in this game vs the defending national champs who are probably better this year than last. Not bad. Goo Marquette!
-
Cam Spencer: 0 points. Keep locking him down and clean up a some of the Clingan O rebounds and we'll be in decent shape. Felt like most of their looks from 3 were pretty well defended - a far cry from their 13 for 26 performance against us in MKE.
-
Oso, eff the floater, drive and dunk the %$#*& ball. It's there.
He’d at least get Clingan in foul trouble. His refusal to attack is maddening
-
Don’t know if MU would have done it, but the off the ball foul call on Lowery (6th team foul) eliminated the foul as an option on the last possession. Kind of BS what they call and don’t.
-
Oso, eff the floater, drive and dunk the %$#*& ball. It's there.
Kinda think some underestimate how difficult it is to power through a 7'2" 275lbs player. Oso is taking good, smart, shots. 3 of 8, with a couple that rolled right off the rim. He needs to keep shooting those.
-
I was just asking.
No you are obsessed every single game with refs.
That was great defense by MU, but turnovers and many missed Oso and Kam floaters missed. Clingan effects those, no more driving please. Joplin bailed them out in last minute, awesome defensive plays.
One team gonna get hot in second, jump ball to which team it is.
-
Kinda think some underestimate how difficult it is to power through a 7'2" 275lbs player. Oso is taking good, smart, shots. 3 of 8, with a couple that rolled right off the rim. He needs to keep shooting those.
Agreed. Trying to dunk over Clingan is not going to turn out well in most instances.

And I think if going all the way to the rim fails it leads to a lot of transition opportunities.

I don’t disagree with this and don’t expect him to challenge him at the rim but several times Oso drew Clingan away from the basket. That’s when I’d love to see him attack off the bounce
-
Oso, go right at him. He will foul.
-
He’d at least get Clingan in foul trouble. His refusal to attack is maddening
I've watched enough Brook Lopez to know that's now how it works
-
Agreed. Trying to dunk over Clingan is not going to turn out well in most instances.
Remember Oso was aggressive when they played In Milwaukee and they still don’t call fouls on Clingan.
-
The “we are marquette” chants were booming on TV.
-
*one and a half
Good point!
-
Kam 2-10. Not good. Oso does have paths to the basket but keeps taking his shot put shot.
Not getting it. People saying Mitchell is playing with one arm, but Kolek cant play. Something smells there.
-
Excellent Defense
We just need some solid offense in the second half
-
Has there been a 20-18 game since 1935?
Yeah 19-17 in the Final 4 in 2000.
-
And I think if going all the way to the rim fails it leads to a lot of transition opportunities.
Correct. Floater is a great shot as it keeps Oso in great position to get back on D if needed.
-

It’s you Dung Willie
-
Their defense is in the air on every pump fake from perimeter. Rowsey would have the entire UConn team in foul trouble right now. It'd be great if we could capitalize on their overcommitting
-
I think Tyler should get changed at halftime into uniform, and make an appearance on the bench in uniform.
I think it would freak them out.

Classic stuff.

i kinda wonder why he didn't suit and they just say he is available?
-
Let’s get it baby
-
Nice physical defense being played by the Quette.
-
Oso ohno
-
More of that Oso (but finish)
-
Kam needs to plant with two feet at about 8 feet and take that.shot. Trying to score over the top on Clingan isn't working.
-
Hurley is such a tool
-
Thatta boy Jop!! Get mad!!
-
Oso shoots it like he’s playing pop a shot
-
Jop is playing outstanding basketball
-
Damn UConn whines
-
Jop is playing outstanding basketball
You can say that again
-
It’s shocking that these guys are shocked when they are called for a foul after pushing a guy with the ball out of bounds
-
Jop is playing outstanding basketball
Playing very under control tonight.
-
Oso shoots it like he’s playing pop a shot
Are you just tuning in to Marquette basketball? It’s been the same shooting motion for four years.
-
Clingan tackles Jop in that scrum and the effing ref wanted to swallow his whistle.
Somebody posted that Hurley has a very punchable face. I second that. He cries at the refs constantly.
-
Playing very under control tonight.
Which is keeping UConn out of their transition game.
-
Poor BG didn’t stand a chance.
-
These soft ass calls
-
Are you just tuning in to Marquette basketball? It’s been the same shooting motion for four years.
no. Just making a comment.
-
Every foul of Gold’s has been on a Clingon made dunk/layup. What’s the point?
-
Are you just tuning in to Marquette basketball? It’s been the same shooting motion for four years.
Doesn’t make him wrong
-
Ben???
-
That’s game
-
Clingan eating us alive
-
Ughhh. Cmon Oso. Why?
-
Clingan just got away with a travel.
-
Oso seems a step slow on D this half. Like not as dialed in
-
OSO is so so so far
-
I don't get why Gold feels the need to challenge those. You were beat from the jump...don't give them freebies
-
Feels like we've got to get a score coming out of this timeout. Uncle Mo starting to tilt UCONN way.
-
Why the hell does anyone wanna be in purdues region?? We suck against massive bigs. It’s a huge if to make the elite 8 but still. Just dumb
-
Clingan absolutely schooling Oso.
-
Keep it a 1-2 possession game at the 10 minute mark
-
Clingan absolutely schooling Oso.
Thanks Dung Willie
-
Ben is a step behind often.
-
In other action, Iowa State up 62-32 over Houston. Wow
-
Every foul of Gold’s has been on a Clingon made dunk/layup. What’s the point?
Yup. Twice and Clingan destroying him on boards. Stupid foul, should have let him have dunk. Not a good matchup and has hurt.
Turnover hurt and hope UConn not on a roll
-
Feels like we've got to get a score coming out of this timeout. Uncle Mo starting to tilt UCONN way.
Yeah. That was a good TO by Shaka.
-
Need to get the ball insde and draw some fouls. We can do it.
-
Get Zaide minutes
-
I don’t care about a win. I just want OSO to dunk over Clingan
-
Oso still got the flu?
-
Oso limping..not good
-
Get Zaide minutes
Get him Oso's minutes
-
Have we ever had a seven footer? Oso should drive and Gold should jump
-
Too much dribbling. Calm down and move the basketball.
-
I like it. Plop Jop in the mid-post!
-
Hold up ref, Hurley said “no way” was that a foul. You must have gotten it wrong
-
Jolp is 3-9 and feels like he’s made 100
-
The shot Spencer just took is the shot Kam should take on occasion.
-
Progress…Gold fouls but the guy missed!
-
Gold come the eff on dude
-
Would like to see Zaide get some PT this half..
-
Gold is defensively inept.
-
i like that we are hanging around and keeping this close when oso and kam have been pretty bad for the most part.
jop actually looks in control this game.......now if he could hit a few 3's
gold hasn't had an open look all game
-
Gold having a rough game. Really tough matchup.
Jop leading us. If Oso and Kam can get into rhythm, and we can get a few stops, we can easily take this.
-
Would like to see Zaide get some PT this half..
He’s earned it
-
We’ll make the final four if we defend at this level in the NCAA.
-
Jolp is 3-9 and feels like he’s made 100
He's been ubiquitous defensively and has matched their physicality.
-
Played even the first 8 minutes. The longer they keep it here, the likelier they can steal this. Can’t let UConn go on their patented run
-
He's been ubiquitous defensively and has matched their physicality.
Why he frustrates people. Flashes these high level moments
-
FEED HIM IN THE POST
-
4 point lead feels like double digits
-
All day Jop!!!
-
All day Jop!!!
I honestly thought karraban was a better defender.
-
Such a bad shot by Tre and of course they hit
-
Thatta boy Tre.
-
Someone shoot the damn ball
-
They are just way better
-
Tre went under and gave up the three
-
Giving them way too many open looks from three.
-
Oso is just chucking and praying tonight
-
Oso dude go INTO him. How to neutralize a shot blocker 101
-
Why no Zaide?
-
With kolek I think we win this ugh f this game move on to real tournament
-
Oso is just chucking and praying tonight
He’s really struggling.
-
Oso hasn’t been good enough this half for us to pull it out
-
gonna be hard to win with oso and kame playing like crap
-
Oso dude go INTO him. How to neutralize a shot blocker 101
Just afraid of contact
-
They are just way better
We're playing our asses off and without Tyko and Stevie. Not to mention JTY. Our inability to hit some threes is a problem.
-
Oso should have been posting up Cling-on 20 minutes ago. We lose that ability with him bringing the ball up. He's finally trying to post him up again.
-
Oso looks absolutely exhausted.
-
He’s really struggling.
He's got something going on with his left knee/lower leg..
-
Have to stop going up against Clingan, Oso….
He may not block, but he is altering everything. He is 7ft 2…….
Wish Norman made that three, even though he made nice layup, going downhill since. You knew UConn was gonna hits some threes.
-
Oso hasn’t been good enough this half for us to pull it out
Needs another year of college ball
-
He’s really struggling.
Rough game for our 2 best players on the floor for sure.
-
Oso hasn’t been good enough this half for us to pull it out
kinda disappointing this tournament. basically just hit the one big shot versus nova. outplayed badly by clingan tonight
-
Oso looks absolutely exhausted.
Yep, and rightfully so.
-
Needs another year of college ball
Ha, thanks, I needed that
-
Curtains
-
Was typing danger zone but welp
-
Hurley just disparaged Tre. I fully expect ZL and TN to be prime-time players moving forward.
-
Watch us lose by 25…
-
Banks it in. Of course. Gfy
-
Man that sucked.
-
Kiwi!!!
-
Turn this bs off. UConn playing terrible and still blows us out
-
Ah well.
On to the Big Dance.
-
Benny!!
-
Thats why it should have been done 20 minutes ago. Less risk. Possession aren't as vital. A mistake to post him up now when they have not even softened up Cling-On with fouls or physical play.
-
Ben is so out of his element (offered in the hope that he’ll make a couple of 3’s). There’s one now!!
-
Bend the knee
-
jones has been absolutely terrible
-
UConn’s spurtability is something else. Really separates them from so many other top teams
-
Their Frosh is killing us.
-
How do professional refs fall for the gunshot head jerk?
-
Well their freshman just drained three threes in five minutes. Figures, hold Spencer to zip and a freshman goes off.
Oh well, good try by our beat up team.
-
Selection Sunday lfg! On to the one that matters more
-
We’ve lost our composure. Kam going for hero ball
-
UConn’s spurtability is something else. Really separates them from so many other top teams
Spurtability is my word but I give you permission to use it Rico.
-
20% 2 point shooting freshman goes 3 of 4 with a banked 3. Unreal
-
Kam Jones totally out of control
-
Jaylin Stewart had a combined 8 points in the last 5 games. Torching us tonight.
I guess when your 8th guy has a career game, it's just your night.
-
Spurtability is my word but I give you permission to use it Rico.
Stole it from Clark Kellog
-
jones has been absolutely terrible
You suck more. Douche
-
now we quit playing defense
-
Gold should have been called for a foul there too.
-
Kam Jones totally out of control
Using way too much energy going off the dribble vs 3 guys.
-
Zaide deserved minutes this half. That was a mistake by Shaka
-
Get them out of there
-
You suck more. Douche
lol okay? so you think he's been good?
-
Stinker of Game: Kam
-
“Turn out the lights”…
-
F uckin can’t stand uaunt clowning us 3 games in a row…. For the love of Tyler be healthy in 5 days
-
Five straight 3's from them?
-
UConn finally woke up
-
Stinker of Game: Kam
Thanks Dung Willie
-
Get a wheelchair for Stevie in the airport
-
Five straight 3's from them?
water found it’s level. It’s the same story their last 3 games.
-
Zaide deserved minutes this half. That was a mistake by Shaka
I was surprised by that.
-
Looks like they’re finally running out of gas without Tyler. I still think we’re gonna do really well in the tournament.
-
I actually thought Gold played that one ok and still got called for the foul
-
Looks like they’re finally running out of gas without Tyler. I still think we’re gonna do really well in the tournament.
He can’t go today but he’s perfectly fine in 5 days? Why are you so confident. Just bias Marquette fan
-
How many points have Gold fouls led to tonight?
-
What the hell did I just see?
-
What’s with Oso??
-
Gold. Wow! Cling-On-like!
-
How many points have Gold fouls led to tonight?
69
-
Ben!!!
-
They never quit. It was a great effort against this championship level team.
-
I don't think Clingan will do much in the NBA.
-
He can’t go today but he’s perfectly fine in 5 days? Why are you so confident. Just bias Marquette fan
Because it’s been stated multiple times by Shaka and others that he will be playing.
-

Doesn’t mean healthy
-

The UConn three point spurt from the freshman was a killer. On to Selection Sunday.
-
Kam just tired from playing and being main dribbler all game, well three games in a row. No relief in sight, he’s been dribbling non stop around the key. Be better in NCAAT with Kolek back.
5 for 16 with four turnovers.
Tonight has been the Clingan can’t stop show. On offense and defense.
-
Ben showing OSO how to dunk
-
Doesn’t mean healthy
Don’t watch.
-
Need to rest Stevie during the Dance. Dont want to aggravate his shoulder. Follow the Kolek principle.

I mean this as nicely as possible, eat a pile of dung
-
Did a great job against Spencer tonight. Kam not being having his usual wizardry around the rim and Oso seeming to settle for some reason were rough.
-
Dammit, this is on Shaka. He should have started recruiting a 7’5” 290 lb center before he was hired.
-
Get Stevie off the floor.
-
They never quit. It was a great effort against this championship level team.
I will prefer wins to great effort in the tourney.

Cry some more
-
Yeah, it’s time to sit Stevie.
-
kam playing so poor was very costly, pretty surprising he was so bad. no answers for clingan
i don't think you can deny that it is a definite blemish on the regular season not to be uconn once.....kolek or no kolek
hopefully we make it further in the dance this year...lots of pressure to do so
-

Not according to Rico

Carabon avoids getting shut out with to free bee dunks in garbage time
-
Scoopers, what went wrong? I'm curious to know what you all think.
-
Tough game…. Had we hit upfront in the beginning we’d be in a close one now. Still…. Hate losing this one. Kolek would have helped
-
Crappy way to end this, but gotta say after all of the lean Wojo years, getting to back to back finals in the BET has been really cool.
-
UCONN is obviously better. And without Tyko and essentially Stevie it was a big ask tonight. It's unfortunate we couldn't make shots early when UCONN couldn't score.
-
Scoopers, what went wrong? I'm curious to know what you all think.
kam jones needed to be great and wasn't. oso outplayed bad by clingan. no kolek. mitchell was basically out with an injury even though he played. uconn is better
-
Scoopers, what went wrong? I'm curious to know what you all think.
Uconn had the by far the best player on the court and had a role player make a lot of 3s.
-
Excellent effort on Defense
U Conn also played great defense and our offense got worn down
Proud of the team
-

Kolek or no Kolek. Just that small detail lol
-
At some point we don't need to hear about Bob Hurley Sr. Just saying. We all get it, time to move on.

Right? Gotta love fan boards. ::)

I'm not, it was a residual thought. I don't think we need to see and hear about that guy multiple times every UCONN game.

Pedantic as hell.
Why
-
Why not?
-
i don't think you can deny that it is a definite blemish on the regular season not to be uconn once.....kolek or no kolek
We played them 1 time with our best and most important player - and lost at their place. So, yeah, I can deny that not beating UCONN this year was a blemish on our regular season. Easily, in fact.
-
Pedantic as hell.
Why
*Why?
-
Why not?
I guess..Might as well proofread each post. More fun than watching that game.
-
Nobody can be really surprised with this result.
MU played much better defense than they did in the game at FF. It wasn’t just a matter of UConn missing shots. They weren’t getting the kind of shots that they did in that game.
I knew before MU played UConn for the first time that their defense was going to give Marquette trouble. And they did it in varying degrees in all three games. Without Kolek the offense was going to struggle that much more.
They fought hard, but you have to be concerned about what condition they’re going to be in going into the NCAA.
-

UConn had a lot to do with that. We also shut down some of their top guys.

Didn't need to be said, but well said.

Correct. So why do most PC fans look like they are auditioning for the next season of Jersey Shore.
We are a classy fanbase, but BET is self selecting—takes more commitment for us travel from the Midwest then to hop a train
