1. Perfect first half offensively except for turnovers.
2. Good defense, too.
3. Rebounds
4. Colorado is very good. A run was inevitable.
5. MU has been here before. Made plays down the stretch.
6. Nice game, Chase.
7. Advance, move on.
8. Da Silva is the type of player MU doesn't have yet. The 6'9 guard slasher
9. Lampkin is good prep for Burns.

That was as well officiated of a game I’ve seen. Marquette was able to use it to their advantage at the end.
-
Big East still undefeated.
-
Several days to get Oso to a sports psychologist. Utterly baffling what we just witnessed

League sucks

Chase Ross at his absolute best when he was needed the absolute most is just the purist brilliance of what sports are made of.
-
10. Jop made FTs matta.
-
I feel like the demons from the Wojo era have finally been cleansed.
-
I said 'Barbecue Chicken' when Lampkin switched onto Kolek. My wife asked what the hell I was talking about. I laughed and told her.

Gutsy win against a skilled team. Happy for the team. Nice work!!!
-
Colorado has some great talent.
Kam in foul trouble made this game a lot closer than it should have been.
Oso had the opportunity to take over offensively and didn't. Need him to bounce back.
Happy for Chase. Huge game.
Kolek is the man!
I feel our weakness of missing to many free throws and giving up offensive boards will be our downfall but those clutch Jop free throws were HUGE.

Imagine if OSO was playing like Oso

really good win. Really good. The guys had their chances to fold but refused to do it. Very proud of them.

He’s gotta believe, he seems tentative, but he showed spots in this game where he took a massive shot and made it.
-
Or a couple of days to heal for Oso.
-
Oso is clearly hurting. Massive for these guys to get four days off.

Looks more mental to me (not to play armchair psychologist). His inability to be strong with the ball almost cost us the game.
-
Oso was fine today. He had his hands full defensively with that huge dude and then trying to guard on the perimeter. Some frustrating TOs.
I rewatched WKU game while working out this morning. I still think his knee is a factor. He’s not elevating to catch those lob passes like he has been all year.

It looks physical to me. But oozing into the mental.
-
You can thank me for the win again. I watched the last 3 mins only (tied at 74) from an ER lobby. Wife is fine. Colorado was beatable after all. Survive. Advance.
-
We beat an athletic lengthy team with multiple NBA draft choice and a solid coach.
Was an excellent effort from all.
-
Oso just saving his energy for Purdue and Uconn.

How about a 1985 scenario with three Big East teams in the FF, with us and UConn in the finals. Marquette pulls a Villanova and shoots lights out win the naty? Who’s in?

The tone was set prior to Thanksgiving. Last three months has been fine tuning the engine for the title run. I saw enough by Thanksgiving to know the ultimate goal could be achieved.
-
Yes. There isn't much left that MU hasn't seen.

Put me down for that.

Happy to see the top 4 doing well. The others sucked.
Winning by 15 tomorrow will rule
Knows ball 8-)

The advantage of not having a bunch of bubble teams getting 9-11 seeds and dragging the record down.

I'm a Chicago boy, born and bred, but have lived in Virginia for many years so I know exactly what you meant. :D

Chase in the post game presser: Coach preaches F-it shooting.
So now we know what the philosophy was in January when MU was in a shooting slump.
-
Imagine if OSO was playing like Oso
He has not for the last several games. He is not enhancing his draftability. He needs to be much more dominant at crunch time which is now.

Yeah, he’ll be back for sure. I see he’s been removed from all mock drafts
-
I am just so impressed by the game that Chase and Jop had. Jop has had a string of truly impressive defensive games and playing within himself offensively.
-
GB Warrior
Great point on Jop playing within himself today. These guys know their roles and trust each other. Jop has improved a great deal in 2024.

As every good coach does. No one is nailed to a bench. No one is told not to shoot.
-
If you are open, fire it. Trust the system.
-
Exactly. MU was in a shooting slump in January. But they were still the right shots.

Victorious Warriors win first and then go to war.

That, my friends, was a culture win!!

Exactly what I said in the other thread, this is a result of Shaka's coaching.

Except for that terrible fast break layup with about 6 mins to go. He had Stevie trailing and forced a bad shot against Williams. Could’ve pushed the lead to 7, instead they came down and cut it to 3.

Give him a break on that one. He made a great steal to make it happen. His defense has been great lately.

Spent the 9 hours after the game driving, so catching up on Scoop this morning (please don't tell Keefe).
One of the better games of the Tournament so far. Colorado played tough. Marquette didn't fold.
Not sure why people are up in arms about Oso. It certainly wasn't his best game, but he was 5/6 from the floor and had 4 assists, 3 steals, and just 1 turnover. People are acting like he was 2/8 with 2 assists and 7 turnovers here. Oso is not a guy who's going to look for his shot attempts. He's going to find his spots, but mostly be a distributor and a rim roller. Not sure why people are expecting Edey like field goal attempts and points/rebounds. He's never been that guy, ever.

Had a buddy ask me in early Feb for a Final 4. Said MU, Arizona, UConn, Creighton. Still alive.
-
If we could get Oso and Jop to play to their upper limit at the same time (with no backtracking by the rest of the team) the next two weeks could be fun. It just never seems like they are both "on" at time.

Made that exact bet just before the tourney. $100 pays 20k

Bravo.

Nice. 10 likely gets me a 1000 if it hits.

Oddly, that’s my exact F4 with UConn over MU.
I only win my bracket pools if it happens though

On Oso, he was only credited with one turnover, but there were at least 2 or 3 credited to other players that were more his mistake than others
-
I hope Sunday’s game was the floor performance by Oso in the tournament. They need him to play better, but they can beat NC State with a similar performance by Oso. My hope is that we see the Maui Oso starting on Friday because that takes MU up a couple of notches. Good Oso and MU can beat any team in the tournament, even UConn.

Won't make your neighbors happy BUT HELL YEAH!! Fly that MU flag and let's go all the way to the Chip finish line 8-)
