Even if it was not well-officiated there were a lot of bad foul calls on DePaul too. What a terrible loss. This is the least forgivable road loss. Period.

Every game in the Big East is a battle.  Some times they don't go your way.

Yup, it’s the best conference in the country from top to bottom. There are absolutely NO easy wins in this league.

When I look at paint touches, o-efficiency, SOS against Mountain West teams, NET rankings, and run it through my optimizer, Marquette is a "stone cold lock" for the tournament.

Especially hard to win on the road against the last place team missing their star player.

Who recruited the players missing open shots?

i like how we lose Markus, Jayce, and sacar. Three of our “best” starters. But everyone keeps saying we have a great class which is true but they’re all freshman. I’d take senior Howard, senior sac, and grad transfer Jayce over freshman dawson, freshman Lewis, and freshman osa. Common sense.

As a coach you can only draw-up the game plan, the players have to execute.

The game plan is to let Markus dribble around for 15 seconds and chuck a shot.  There is no defense against that plan.

Yea, but Kevin Willard wasn’t any better his first 6 years.

Coach K and Jay Wright sucked early in their careers. Just give it 6 more years!
