Poll

As I write this, Markus is 17-for-17 from the line. When will that first FT miss take place?

Next week. He'll crack under the pressure of our big 3-game stretch.
43 (29.1%)
After next week, but before we ring in 2018 due to overdose of eggnog.
19 (12.8%)
Jan. 12 at Butler. I'm making the trip to that game, so I guess I'll be the jinx.
19 (12.8%)
Next season. That's right ... he won't even miss when we're in the Final Four!
17 (11.5%)
Never. And that includes his 15-year NBA career.
44 (29.7%)
Other.

But you are dead on about Matt being insanely good all of a sudden

It's really been true all year.  Sure, lowish usage.  But I never have a problem seeing Matty go to the line.  Solid, like most things in his somewhat limited game.  I love guys like that.

Yeah I meant in relation to last year.

I think he was in the low 60s last year

Love that he's gotten better. Now if he could start getting there more

That's right.  Like a lot of things with Matty's game, he's improved right up to the limit of the gifts that God gave him.  What coach doesn't absolutely LOVE that? 

Here's what I 100% know.  He's starting every single one of his remaining MU games barring injury/illness.

Not sure if you're agreeing with me or ridiculing me?  :o

I suppose it doesn't matter because it's what I really think.

Markus was 4 for 4 tonight (Butler, Jan 12)

64 straight, correct?

If so, he tied for #5 all-time and is 4 behind Novak for #3 All-time.

Not according to the broadcast. Brew seemed to have set it straight, but the media doesn?t seem to have the same # in their streak.

The media is wrong. I tweeted at Mac during the game and just sent a thread at Broeker, Kuykendall, Homer, and the Marquette basketball account.

Go back and check the Creighton game. Howard missed two front end one-and-ones but was 2/2 on a trip with 5 seconds left, the last points scored in the game. He then went 7/7 against Seton Hall at MSG and didn't go to the line against South Carolina.

9 last year plus 55 this year is 64. 4 more to tie Novak, 21 more to equal Darnell Archey.

Have you gotten any response brew?  You are 100% correct based on my analysis.  What the h*ll is the SID doing anyway? This has the potential to be a historic achievement.  Between this and the fact that someone can't get the effin' flashpods to work during intros means somebody might need to find a new job.

Got through the Butler game without having jinxed Markus.

Good thing I don't believe in jinxes.

Sticking with NEVER!

HA! I asked Kuykendall if we should go 'no hitter radio silent'.  No response.  :)

I had to listen to the Butler home broadcast (damnSiriusXM) and they had 60 in a row on there before his first make. So the number is out there somewhere.

The announcers kept calling Butler ?the Dogs.?  Sometimes felt like I was listening to dog races.

Cool to have two players in the top 5 in history. But not satisfied with #3 and #4!

The announcers had it at 66 straight and I think that is correct.

Tied for 4th all-time, two short of Novak's school record.

Doggone it ... I was sure NEVER was right!

A hell of a run, including some really, really important ones. Nicely done, young man.
