Blue Hairy Wet Cat livers on the menu.

Markus for SOTG (unless Dunks is in the house).
GO WARRIORS!!!!

The last 15 game seconds of the PC Xavier game are some of the worst consecutive seconds of basketball I've ever seen at the end of a close game
-
Uuuuugly game . Like Cooley.
-
Where was it? Thought you were out ill or something!!
-
2 TOs by Joey in 15 seconds
-
We always seem to forget to how to play basketball against DePaul. It's like their suckiness rubs off on us.
Long way to go though.
-
Sam getting good looks
Just missed both
-
We got this
-
Foul?
-
Sacar gotta make that lay up.
Hope Theo is fine
-
Can sacar please finish a play to the hoop !????
-
Officials seem reluctant to blow the whistle again.
-
Anim should only shoot if it is a dunk.
-
D looks good. Limiting them to one chance.
Their points have come on a blown layup and transition 3 off a TO.
-
Theo may very well have a triple-double with blocks before his career is done.
-
Sacar is looking like early vander blue. Great moves to the hoop rarely resulting in baskets. I have no idea how he manages to foul up these great moves to the basket
-
Anim should only shoot if it is a dunk.
Willie, you need to take a few hits off your bong before you watch MU.
-
These TOs are maddening.
Bailey basically hands them points with a stupid pass
-
Was hoping for a cruise control game for once. Nope
-
Stop with the stupid bounce passes!!!
2 more missed layups
-
We're definitely not a first half team
-
We don't look like we are into this game. More going through the motions than actually playing with intensity.
-
Dan turnovers. Let's go!
-

Disagree.
-
Dan turnovers. Let's go!
Who's this Dan you speak of? Does he make good turnovers?
-

Fitzgerald.

“Turnovers are uncharacteristic of this Marquette Basketball team”
Whaaaaaat?
This guy has never seen us play.
-
Is it just me or is our early game shooting percentage atrocious?
-
My god.
Sacar biffs another
-
Alright, get Cain in there for Sacar please.
-
Another sacar special. Jeeesssss
-
T!!!
We can’t buy a bucket. But so far solid D by this group of defenders
-
We've cold, but we'll heat up
-
Willie, you need to take a few hits off your bong before you watch MU.
You are right, I stand corrected, he just missed a dunk. He should not shoot at all as he has missed 5 straight. Put that in your bong and hit it.
-
Sacar has to be one of the worst finishers at the rim for a starter level player in ages
-
That's a terrible tech.
Seriously, how arrogant do you have to be to call that?
-
Sam will start taking this game over shortly...at about the 6:00 minute mark.
-
We’re lucky DePaul is not very good. Why are we wearing pink shoes?
-
Another T!!
-
Markus snuck in the game from the bench when the tech happened.
-
You are right, I stand corrected, he just missed a dunk. He should not shoot at all as he has missed 5 straight. Put that in your bong and hit it.
Im dead. Too funny

“Turnovers are uncharacteristic of this Marquette Basketball team”

lol exactly what I thought
-
Sacar has to be one of the worst finishers at the rim for a starter level player in ages
He bang your girlfriend?
-
I like how Markus looks for low 5 with no one in the lane...
-
Howard practicing the low 5. Always on point that one
-
Interesting Howard on the FTs. Even on the technical does the same thing every time. Including the motion of slapping fives with teammates, even though they were not there.
That's serious consistency in repetition.
-
The offense has got to improve
Markus tries such an outrageous shot he travels before he can even shoot lmao
-
Another TO for joey
-
Hope Jamal gets some run this game. It would be nice to get him on track for the rest of the year.
-
Sam getting great looks
Can’t buy one yet
-
Vander nice. Am i wrong!????? I know somebody in this forum agrees with that fact.
-
JFC. Hit a Fing basket for Fs sake.
(sorry)
-
We gotta draw a couple more fouls for the bonus because like last game we can’t buy a shot in the first half.
Lucky the two techs have us close to bonus
-
Sooo cold. Keep grinding and they’ll come. Credit DePaul’s D
-
Joey bricking a 6 footer. W are not looking like a top 12 team right now with all the misses and TO's
-
Need to get past these slow starts, Sam will heat up.
-
Anyone know the reason for the pink shoes?
-
Sooo cold. Keep grinding and they’ll come. Credit DePaul’s D
I don't know about that. We've had wide wide open looks from the people we want taking them. We're shooting 28.6%.
-
Great teams win in the second half.
-
Anyone know the reason for the pink shoes?
All the players are against cancer except for the Hausers
-
Anyone know the reason for the pink shoes?
Breast cancer awareness.
-
I don't know about that. We've had wide wide open looks from the people we want taking them. We're shooting 28.6%.
Agreed. Not sure I can complain about a single shot.
Sam is just missing 3s so far
And we’ve missed like 5 lay ups.
Getting good looks
-
Time for sacar to sit. Next man up
-
Now that’s good ball movement
-
Sam!
-
I don't know about that. We've had wide wide open looks from the people we want taking them. We're shooting 28.6%.
They’re length has definitely been a problem for us too
-
The anxiety here is nuts.
-
Now Sam is going!!
-
Sam looking more larry bird like every game
-
They’re ok...center decent..but we should win by 20
-
Need a replay of that Ed foul
-
Sam will start taking this game over shortly...at about the 6:00 minute mark.
+1
-
Need a replay of that Ed foul
Eh, we're already up a couple of BS techs on DePaul so I'll let that one slide.
-
I’m usually a Sacar backer
But he’s brutal tonight
-
Time for sacar to sit. Next man up
No,,, don't think he should sit, he would injure his head which is firmly imbedded in his seat judging by his play here.
-
Theo!
-
Eh, we're already up a couple of BS techs on DePaul so I'll let that one slide.
Fair.
I was more curious on it tho. Legit couldn’t really tell live
-
Sam and Theo stepping up
-
Now we're cooking
-
Playing better now! Jamal iN!
-
Does anybody else think sam’s game is similar to The hick from french lick????
-
Theo 3/3 from line!
-
Sam and Theo stepping up
What's wrong with you? Just curious. General question.
-
Sam will start taking this game over shortly...at about the 6:00 minute mark.
Guru called it.
-
Markus has gotta hit Sam there
-
Call no fouls all half
Now calling stupid ones
-
That was off them!!
-
Defense is the reason for our lead
-
Picked it up big time.
Great D that half.
Especially when resting Markus and Joey or Sam.
Our subs didn’t really score. But they didn’t allow anything.
-
Good half defensively. O had some bad stretches but 40 in a half ain't bad. Hit the glass harder and it should be comfortable margin when it's all said and done.
-
Eh, we're already up a couple of BS techs on DePaul so I'll let that one slide.
So it's okay to shove the ball in the ref's chest while staring him down after he makes a call against you? I thought it was the most obvious T I've seen in a while
-
Now we're cooking
With gas, baby.
-
I love Theo
-
With gas, baby.
I watched it a couple times. I concluded it was a poor call by the ref.
-
38% shooting, 7 turnovers, up 13. Huh.
-
Up 13 after that half lol
-
Well, start of game:
3 turnovers in 90 seconds
Sacar misses an uncontested layup
Markus misses open three, no one within five feet.
Then 7 turnovers in first 8 minutes
After:
No turnovers
Joey with three threes
Sam got hot
Theo on defense
Sam defense on Strus, who is struggling bad
Markus just ok, he is really, really due
Sacar probably worst half offensively
Should be destroying them, but the start of game couldn’t get them going.
Keep it up.
-
Anybody have the halftime line or O/U? My site doesn't have it available. Assuming Depaul somewhere in the -2/3 range 2nd half?
-
Anybody have the halftime line or O/U? My site doesn't have it available. Assuming Depaul somewhere in the -2/3 range 2nd half?
DePaul was + 4.5
-
Much maligned Joseph C had a few minutes of hard nosed defense. And didn't turn it over once.
-

I’m seeing us at -2
-

Yup good half for him spelling Markus. Didn’t do much, but that’s all we needed
-
Much maligned Joseph C had a few minutes of hard nosed defense. And didn't turn it over once.
Was just about to say, he's played really well tonight.
-
Anybody know the rule about sneaking Markus in for the T? Wojo absolutely got him in the game after it was called. Legal?
-

Nope, at least not at the high school level it isn't
-

I believe he should not have been allowed to shoot the first two. It has the be one of the 5 on the court when the T was assessed
-
No doubt that's what POed DePaul bench.
-
honest question.. for the people who picked us to lose Why? 12# ranked team at home where they are undefeated vs Depaul. What made you think " yeah Marquette's gonna lose this one. JW.
-
No doubt that's what POed DePaul bench.
Yep, my guess is somebody made a comment that they don’t know the rules with a little more colorful language behind it
-
Great ball movement but two wide open misses by the Hausers
Keep passing boys
-

Great question.
-

DePaul seemed to give MU fits the last 4 years. Kind of like the bears vs the packers. Through standings out the window, usually is a good game
I bet DePaul would win straight up for a small amount of money. I didn’t think Mu would cover -8.5 and I looked at it as a win win. MU wins great. DePaul wins, well at least I get something out of it
*throw
-
All the players are against cancer except for the Hausers
Yeah hausers probably wearing same shoes since HS. Maybe same socks...
-

Nice jinx
-
Good lord what a brutal start.
Sacar my god
-
Take it easy rec specs
-
Our start to both halves was pretty awful. I know it's DePaul, but that's no reason to spot them right out of the gate.
-
Terrible start to the 2nd half. Brutal.
-
Nice jinx
Whoops
-
Sacar hate has gotten out of hand. Jeez
-
Come on boys pick it up slow start again. Keep moving the shots will fall.
-
I wonder if the microphones are on in this huddle. My goodness, terrible start to half.
-
Does sacar have a made fg yet? I havent looked at the box
-
Theo
-
Does sacar have a made fg yet? I havent looked at the box
O for 7
-
Jfc. Grab the ball. Now MH hurt
-
Uh oh....
-
Nut shot?
-
It seems like the ball has been greased the past three games. Out guys struggle grabbing and controlling it. Is it the slap happy Defense if our opponents or lack of consentration?
-
Nut shot?
Yup.
-
Really need to see some minutes from cain since sacar is stone cold
-
Really need to see some minutes from cain since sacar is stone cold
Sacar vs Cain on offense is, at best, a wash
Sacar vs Cain every other aspect favors sacar.
So, no. Bad idea.
-
Really need to see some minutes from cain since sacar is stone cold
If it wasn't your girlfriend who was it?
-
Toony!!
-
JC!
That looked confident.
-
Touny!
-
Good for Joe.
-
First time I've been happy that one of our players "only" got a nut shot.
-
If it wasn't your girlfriend who was it?
Lol
-
Markus stop with the over dribbling
-
Jesus Christ Markus
-
This is terrible
-
Chart getting mugged
-
This is hard to watch
-
There were like 7 fouls on that possession. No whistle.
-
Vander stop baiting man. Ur namesake is in the mu hall of fame with worst finishers along with sacar
-
Chart gets hacked. No call
Morrow stands straight up on rebound. Foul.
-
Vander stop baiting man. Ur namesake is in the mu hall of fame with worst finishers along with sacar
You're like Sand-knit with Luke. You guys should start a club.
-
Great pass by Ed. to Sammy.
-
That last tie up sums up how it’s going for Markus and Sacar right now
-
Oof, Sacar has been awful tonight. Like worst game of his Marquette career bad.
-
No i despise chart far more than sacar. I really dont have any ill will for sacar just that he blows great moves constantly.
Tooney is making him look bad tonight but he needed a decent game to get unglued from the bench
-
That Matthew McConaughey is dreamy
-
Yes very bad sacar tonight.
-
That Matthew McConaughey is dreamy
Where did this come from?
-
Cain in the doghouse if he can’t get in tonight.
-
This is the definitely of trying to survive
-
Sacar needs to fu cking stop
Fouls picking up
-
Lmfao. Sacar sit down!!!!!
-
Awful call there.
-
Refs making their presence known!! Please sit Sacar
-
A lot of awful calls in this half. They are holding the whistle when we are on offense.
-
No one read about Sacar's value aside from offense today, huh?
-
Yikes. Depaul shooting the rest of the way means we need to really cut down on the turnovers. Just gotta do the little things and we'll be OK. Might be easier said than done at this rate, though...
-
Has Sacar sat at all? 0-9 is one ugly ass line
-
No one read about Sacar's value aside from offense today, huh?
We know he has value
But he’s brutal today
It’s ok, it happens
-
Where did this come from?
After the 8th time his commercial ran during the game for a Mercury.
-
Cain in the doghouse if he can’t get in tonight.
He's played a lot this game. Back out there.
-
Whats the deal with the weirdo on the DePaul bench?
-
Do the fans at least get a shake when we miss two free throws?
-
We know he has value
But he’s brutal today
It’s ok, it happens
Brutal from the floor. Does that mean you sit him? Nope.
-
Cain finally in for him.
Theo is a bad, bad man.
-
After the 8th time his commercial ran during the game for a Mercury.
Forgot that he was in that commercial, it was on when I was in the other room.
-
Brutal from the floor. Does that mean you sit him? Nope.
Yes.
And Wojo has.
-
Theo John is always what I wanted for Marquette as a Big East big. He is like the anti-Heldt. Finishes with dunks, rebounds strong, blocks shots, doesn't get pushed around. It reminds me of when we made the run with Robert Jackson. Just a meat and potatoes guy.
-
Glad they didn't call the reach-in foul on Reed. Much rather let Theo get the flush....
-
Come on, Markus.
-
Wtf is Markus doing???
He’s literally telling DePaul to comeback
-
Yes.
And Wojo has.
You mean he's getting a breather?
-
Come on, Markus.
Chartouney with ball security. Markus with TOs. Weird day.
-
What do we need to do to get a run going here? Something needs to turn around soon. This shouldn't come down to the wire.

100% agree
-
That’s seven turnovers for Markus, 16 for team. With #7 minutes left, disgusting.
That with Sacar 0 for 9, reasons for too close.
Let’s get this over with.
-
These TOs are driving me to drink.
-
We’re literally keeping them in the game with sloppy play
-
What do we need to do to get a run going here? Something needs to turn around soon. This shouldn't come down to the wire.
Stop turning it over. Pretty simple.
-
You mean he's getting a breather?
You just said he literally couldn’t sit.
Sorry your brother is having a bad game
-
I love Markus and hope he gets a serious run in the NBA, but he needs to spend next summer on his handle and passing if he wants a real shot....
-
Buckle up folks, its gonna be a bumpy finish.
-
Theo as a senior will be something else.
-
What do we need to do to get a run going here? Something needs to turn around soon. This shouldn't come down to the wire.
We were just up 8 with the ball and Markus handed them 4 pts
-
We're making this game way more difficult than it needs to be.
-
Markus showing why he is not ready for the NBA yer
-
Markus has 8 (!!!) turnovers tonight. That is just flat out unacceptable. He's got to work on this and play smarter. His second half has been brutal.
-
You just said he literally couldn’t sit.
Sorry your brother is having a bad game
Comprehension is important.
-
mTOn tonight eh?
-
We got this.
-
Didn’t look good
-
Comprehension is important.
Yeah comprehending the game
-
At least Wojo got it right in the cuddle. "Take care of the ball, take care of the ball, take care of the ball!"
-
Joey needed to shoot that one.
-
No good.
-
Joey needed to shoot that one.
Yep. Too much passing.
-
That's an absurdly quick jump ball. Are you kiddIng?
-
Wtf?!
-
How was that a jump ball. Foul or no call. The calls have been such BS this half.
-
they have totally shut down Markus. Amazing.
-
How was that a jump ball. Foul or no call. The calls have been such BS this half.
Def not going our way
-
Fukk these calls my god
-
unnatural carnal knowledge you ref.
He unnatural carnal knowledgeing traveled before that BS call
-
These refs have really been brutal.
-
Needed that. Knock em down Mh
-
The quality of college reffing is truly abysmal.
-
Now we gotta go for the kill
-
Holy sh!t Theo
-
Theo - my man.
-
Holy sh!t Theo
He had touch on that one even.
-
Theo running the floor!
-
Stephen Howard's reffing is getting annoying. Understand you are a DePaul grad but you have to do your best to at least seem unbiased.
-
The quality of college reffing is truly abysmal.
Never understood why so many old men are in officiating. No offense to the old guys
-
Markus has been nothing short of a turnover machine tonight.
-
I fukcing love Theo
-
He's an animal.
-
Man I love Theo
-
Joey needed to shoot that one.
This is going to be Joey's mission statement this off-season. Pull the trigger.
-
John the Baptist!
-
Theo locking down the lane!
-
He's an animal.
No doubt
-
Did anyone else see cain smack Joey in the balls?
-
If Theo could shoot free throws, damn...
-
If Theo could shoot free throws, damn...
Started 4/4 today
Of course law of averages set in
Love this guy tho
-
Did anyone else see cain smack Joey in the balls?
Nope but that proves Joey's nuts are asking for it.
-
Theo so far. 16 points 9 rebs. 5 blocks. Missed some key free throws, but oh my.
Btw, MU has 18 turnovers, 8 by Markus.
-
Okay, Theo John might be for reals...
-
This is going to be Joey's mission statement this off-season. Pull the trigger.
Why wait? Lots of time to get that in this year.
-
“The story coming into this game was the Big 3 from DePaul”
Again......whaaaaat?
Who is this guy Steven Howard?
-
Theo so far. 16 points 9 rebs. 5 blocks. Missed some key free throws, but oh my.
The Beast of the BEast!
-
Seriously who’s the moron on DePaul’s bench?
-
Wow what a huge play Sam
-
That was a make up call. No foul there.
-
Seriously who’s the moron on DePaul’s bench?
How did people miss that turd from last yeat?
-
Horrible foul by Cain to foul out
-
Really dumb foul by Cain there.
-
Really dumb foul by Cain there.
Disagree. I liked it.
-
Disagree. I liked it.
Oh I definitely loved it, just really weird.
-
Theo was robbed of a few blocks.
-
Theo was robbed of a few blocks.
Ya. On some crap box foul calls
-
What a completely absurd bailout. Holy sh*t.
-
They need to stop that Shake Shack free throw giveaway announcement.
-
“The story coming into this game was the Big 3 from DePaul”
Again......whaaaaat?
Who is this guy Steven Howard?
Hes a depaul alum played 88-92
-
Theo was robbed of a few blocks.
Yeah he was but his reputation is definitely starting to earn him some benefit of the doubt. A year ago he would’ve fouled out playing this way
-
Anybody else really really sweating this -8.5?
-
Anybody else really really sweating this -8.5?
I took DePaul.
I’d like the double digit win for NET purposes
But at same time with how bad we’ve played I’d like to take an easy $100 as well
-
What was the spread on this game???
-
Thought about taking DePaul, but when KenPom has them at 12 point favorites, you really don't usually see disparities of more than a few points usually.
-
I almost took the spread bet but didnt have time. Looking pretty good now.
-
This is going to be Joey's mission statement this off-season. Pull the trigger.
Wojo only coaches the easy concepts
-
Anybody else really really sweating this -8.5?
Oh yeah. Go up 11 only to give up a 3 right away
-
I almost took the spread bet but didnt have time. Looking pretty good now.
Get that jinx outta here!
-
Thought about taking DePaul, but when KenPom has them at 12 point favorites, you really don't usually see disparities of more than a few points usually.
Vegas knew that a Depaul alum was going to be a ref.
-
So how does the half point work on the spread. Im new to it. Does a 9 pt win get it ?
-
Theo. 16, 10 and 6. Take him out, they will play hack a Theo. Oh, Wojo did.
Markus, bad turnovers, but 15 for 15 from line.
-
Lol lost the spread by 1
That’s my life
-
Cover the spread and squeak out the under! Nice finish boys!
-
Good teams win, Great teams cover! #GTST
-
Good teams win, Great teams cover! #GTST
And kittens bet against their own team.

Anyone else notice the cold shoulder Wojo Gabe to Leitao after the game? Seemed like words were exchanged.
-
Sam and Theo stepping up
Willie said something positive in a game thread!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did someone pick us to lose? Honest question, I don't remember anyone picking us to lose. Some people said it may be closer than we like but that we would win in the end.

No i despise chart far more than sacar. I really dont have any ill will for sacar just that he blows great moves constantly.
Tooney is making him look bad tonight but he needed a decent game to get unglued from the bench
It's concerning that you despise on of our players
-
Anyone else notice the cold shoulder Wojo Gabe to Leitao after the game? Seemed like words were exchanged.
What were you watching? Leitao was giving refs some words at the handshake and Wojo was going to let him go, but then DL grabbed him back and they chatted briefly. Nothing to see here folks.
-
Interesting Howard on the FTs. Even on the technical does the same thing every time. Including the motion of slapping fives with teammates, even though they were not there.
That's serious consistency in repetition.
I didn’t notice that at the time. Just went back and watched it. That’s awesome.
-
Markus an assist away from a double double, 23 points, solid defense, and almost singlehandedly fouled out two of their best player. And all y'all can focus on is his turnovers. Y'all really need to reflect on your Markus hate.
-

I'm not hating on Markus, but I can see how it would be easier for some. Did the majority of his damage at the stripe which just isn't as flashy, and didn't hit a three, also not flashy. 8 TO's is too many, but looking at the rest of his line, I would have been okay with 4 or 5. FWIW Theo also would have been approaching triple double territory if he wasn't called for some soft fouls.
-
If anyone has a link to Cain punching Joey in the nuts please post. Thanks. I'd love to share that with my Blue Rat friends.
-
Markus still has not had a double double at MU.

Most overrated player in Marquette history! (and no, I am not using teal when it is obvious sarcasm).

Hell of a presser Wojo gave!

2 things:
1: 90% of the people I know that went to Depaul look exactly this this kid. That school breeds hipsters
2: We can make fun of him all we want but a walk on at a High major is going to be in better shape that almost this entire board ever was in their 20s.

Gotta admit, I checked their roster during the game to: 1) check and see if he even was on the roster; and 2) see what the story was.
-
Or even a walk on at DePaul.
That was beautiful in its simplicity.
-
Not sure what the deal with that kid is but i have seen him do his jumping and cheerring when the orher team has a big play too

1: 90% of the people I know that went to Depaul look exactly this this kid. That school breeds hipsters
2: We can make fun of him all we want but a walk on at a High major is going to be in better shape that almost this entire board ever was in their 20s.
Am I a horrible person if I admit that the first time I saw this guy awhile back, I assumed it was some sort of "Make A Wish" situation?

Yes, that is horrible. I thought it was more of a special Olympics deal.

Wait? He's on the team? I can't see it. I always assumed he was Leito's kid, why else would you put up with that nonsense?
Note to self: Don't ever sit behind the DePaul bench at an MU game. The kid is so distracting, you'll have to listen to the postgame show to find out who won.

Yeah, I was speaking rather broadly...

I know, I was really just co-signing that my first thought that he couldn't possibly actually be a real team member.

He actually played on the La Lumiere National championship team with Brian Bowen, Jordan Poole, Jaren Jackson, Tyger Campbell etc. Either this kid is sneaky good at basketball or there is a massive talent drop off from the starters to the other guys at La Lumiere

This is exactly why I actually grabbed my phone and checked their roster.

I think he "actually played" on that team in much the same way he "plays" on this DePaul Team. From an interview (https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2018/2/13/16964618/depaul-walk-on-pantelis-xidias-college-basketball-greatest-hype-man):
"Throughout high school, our assistant coach at DePaul was our head coach, Shane Heirman. He was always talking to us about bringing energy. He said whatever we’re doing, do it to the best of our abilities. Know your role. If you don’t play that much, then what are you really bringing to the team? So for us it was bring energy, clap, if the guys need anything, and as far as hyping them up, bring it to them. So I just kind of took that philosophy to the next level."
Granted, walk-ons at any major college program are far, far better basketball players than the vast majority of us ever were, and he's probably not an exception. But I get the impression that his role at La Lumiere was the enthusiastic mascot at the end of the bench...kind of like now.

Same. MU had opened up a huge lead in the home game last year, and he was still jumping around down 28. I thought it had to be one of those cases.

A few bumps of coke before every game will do that to you.

Watching that highlight video of his abilities. I'm way way past my 20's and am in better shape than him still.

Hahaha yeahhh I definitely spoke too soon on that one.

Gotta love a highlight video including your outlet passes!

As I watched that highlight video, I was reminded of a conversation that occurs with some regularity on this board:
Enthusiastic Earl: "Look at this video of [insert name of recently signed recruit]. He's awesome."
Negative Nate: "It's a highlight video. Anybody can pull together a highlight video that makes him look like a stud."
So, now we have a counterpoint for Nate.

That video appears to be JV or Freshman ball

That truly made me laugh out loud. Excellent point.
