Sweep Wright

[tower912]

1.   Making nearly every ft helps the old eFG%.       
2.   Villanova making runs was inevitable.    Never felt it was weathered completely until the final buzzer.   A horror movie baddie who won't die.       
3.   OMax was really good against Gillespie early.  Big momentum play, too.   
4.   Shaka will ride a hot line up.    He was shuffling in and out the second half trying to find one.   
5.    Rebounding was awesome for a half.    A little bit of a reversion in the second half.   
6.   Morsell able to play some bully ball when nothing else was happening.    Stepped up after some spotty play.    Senior leadership.   8 point run.  Fouling out was awkward.   
7.  I expect Greg to hit every 3.    A little slump the last couple of games.  Made the ft's he needed.     
8.  Not pretty.   Don't care.    Glorious.

Students were awesome tonight. Credit them for getting out in some crummy weather at 9:00 on a Wednesday .

If you win, they will come…

Has anyone ever swept Nova since the NBE organized?

Huge win. Very satisfying.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Going into this season all I wanted to see was improvement as the season progressed.  Especially come February and March.

Never did I think we'd be playing at this level, though.  It's truly f*cking amazing and so much fun. 

This feels like the 2015 season for Cubs fans, to a certain extent.

Such a fun, good, likable team.  Shaka is a stud. 

[MuggsyB]

I thought O-Max was terrific tonight.  MU has weapons and can defend.

[Bob "Big Daddy" Wild]

Morsell is a Real Dude who makes Real Dude plays.  That was glorious in the second half.

We could have played better...and still were up 10+ most of the game.

I look forward to Omax's development.  He has monster upside.  Feels like he will make an eye opening leap next year.

Woo!

Creighton in 13/14 and Butler in 16/17.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Who would have thought we'd be playing for seeding at the beginning of February.  Insane. 

[Dr. Blackheart]

No court storm. We expect sweeps!

I thought you were going to call the thread, Exit. Stage Wright.

Student appreciation night. Sweet raffle giveaways like team Jordans, $100 gift cards, and lunch with Shaka. Big heads randomly made a comeback this year. And Sweet Caroline as time winds down on a sweep of the traditional alpha.

Honestly, where was all of this for the last 7 years?

I never want to hear "the student section sucks" in the middle of January again.

Sir, it begins and ends with a W.

No mention. of Lewis or Kolek? Most negative summary of a rout of a ranked opponent I’ve ever read.

To be fair, there were never those kind of promotions under Buzz either.

Just the occasional donut while we were waiting outside for big games.

It's just another Top 25 win.

Big heads existed under Buzz. I’m thinking W*j* thought they came off too conceited. Went against the mission of the University or some such nonsense.

To be even fairier, buzz never needed it.

Duke didn't do it so neither do we?

Shaka beats 6, top 25 teams to tie the Marquette school record… in year one!!!!

[MU82]

Morsell turned the game. Not only with his 4 hoops but had a big blocked shot.

Loved O-Max's game tonight. If you asked Shaka what he thought he was getting in O-Max, he'd have pointed to that exact game.

Lewis led a much better rebounding game for the team, and hit a huge 3 down the stretch.

We got a little loose with the ball when Nova pressured us. Gotta take care of it.

Thought we might see a little more Kam down the stretch, but Shaka wanted to go with more experience.

A lot of swagger for Kolek tonight, and some of his best offense this season. Got a little 3-happy there, but after he launched that one of the side of the backboard he got back to doing what he does best.

I like our guys' toughness, both physical and mental.

Wonderful job by Shaka all night of motivating the team and finding the right guys to play at key junctures.

Nice little stretch for Joplin in the first half.

Sweeping Nova, including a double-digit win at home ... how sweet it is!

We Are Marquette!

That thought ruined a good evening. Just a fart in the wind.

Yep, 3 straight NLCS and a World Series is a "fart in the wind".  Sign me up for that for MU.

He was open for the catch and shoot three but decided to dribble and mucked himself up on that one

[avid1010]

Far from an ugly game...really fun to watch MU figure it out in the 2nd half when Nova decided to chest up Lewis.  They played 4 on 4 for a nice stretch. 

This is just too damn fun.
