I thought I heard it on my tv and asked the same question about 10 minutes ago. I'm almost certain there were boo birds, but I'll double check when I replay on DVR.
I can't hear the boos over my profanity.
The echoes of boos ARE sneaking through Buzz's constant stream of meaningless down-home platitudes that substitute for actual basketball know-how at Marquette.
Yee-haw.
I don't ever turn off games, but this one is off.

Don't worry, 9-9 gets us in easily! ;)
i agree with you chicos. i don't think 9-9 is going to do it. and, quite frankly, we continue to play like we have tonight and we might not even get to 9-9

I never leave Packer or MU games early. I think my car would be warm before the buzzer if I was at this game.

They saying Boooo-urns.
Indeed, there was a smattering of half hearted, unenthusiastic boos in the BC tonight.
Let's just say it was the opposite of polite clapping.

Thanks, that's what I thought I heard.
Was there any spitting?
Most of the booing came from the student section...go figure.
Fulce just posted this on his FB:
"ok so lets just keep it 100!...Mu fans if ur a real fan support us even when we r down, lol i see yall yelling at my coach n booing us! And thats support? How about this....try, just TRY and work as hard as we do for one day....NO i take it back, are warm ups lol im glad the real ones stayed n the fake ones left...GTST keepin it 100!"

I've never left an MU game early before tonight. I heard the boos, and was ashamed of those. Wasn't my section, but they were present, even if only a smattering. But god, I couldn't watch the end of that. I was still in the building at the final buzzer, but I just felt like the team accepted their fate out there tonight. And I couldn't watch that.

I'm sorry, but all of you complaining about the boo's you heard tonight is pathetic. The crowd tried to get into the game on numerous occasions only to result in a costly turnover. This team has players who are 18-22 yrs old receiving a FREE education worth upwards of 200k during their time at Marquette. I'm sure a few boo's shouldn't hurt their precious feelings too much, especially with the effort and execution displayed tonight during a must-win game.

My stance on booing is who is it booing? If it is students or young twenty somethings I can probably let it slide. For a thirty something or above to boo young kids... well, you simply lack class.

Took the words right out of my mouth. That's the first conference game I've ever left early.
I don't agree with booing at all. I don't care if they are getting a free education. If they are working hard, and they were, booing is simply uncalled for.
I sit next to the student section. I'd say 70% of the boos were coming from the students.
You don't boo your own team.

I moved down from my normal seats (400's) to sit with in a friends parents seats, a few rows off court, for the second half and you could actually see the difference in the effort between the two teams. MU looked completely uninspired last night. There was no intensity in their eyes. Buzz and his assistants are still massively in need of figuring out how to get these kids to play a full 40 minutes.
real fans don't boo, but if there was ever a reason to it was, unfortunately, last night.
Just so I'm clear - it is fine for Joe Fulce to call out the fans, but not ok for fans to call out the players.
Booing (normal booing, not swearing or making it personal) is one of the only means fans have for voicing frustration. Perhaps those against booing would prefer that fans not show up and spend money - both things which help support the team more than a little booing brings them down.
You can't have it both ways, either they are "kids" or this is "big time college athletics". There aren't a lot of fan sites like this dedicated to 8 year old YMCA leagues, because the stage is different. The players knew what they signed up for. Again, not saying buying a ticket allows you to do whatever you want, but a little booing is not a big deal, and hopefully sends the message to team that their play is not acceptable.

Hopefully it also sends a message to recruits about what awaits them and their growing pains. Recognize the consequences of your actions.
No other college team has ever been booed, my mistake.
I also think this is more than just growing pains. Gardner and Blue have the right to growing pains.
The rest of the team has played on this stage before and knows what it takes to win. Lately they haven't done enough things right to accomplish that. Senior laden teams are a rarity, and this team has a good distribution of older and younger players. Growing pains are a part of every season, not an excuse to play terrible defense more than halfway through the conference schedule.

I was at the game.....the crowd was dead from the opening tip
"The crowd tried to get into the game on numerous occasions...." I don't know what game you were watching but that was not the case....
I can imagine how hard it must have been for this team to get pumped up playing in front of an extremely lackluster crowd and a splattering of boos....
which, by the way, was totally uncalled for >:(

Kind of surprises me, as they are not only your team, but often times your classmates, friends, and certainly your peers. That's a shame. I thought it would be someone shelling out a bunch of cabbage and frustrated by the money they are spending.

I was mentioning to a friend that multiple times the crowd started to rumble and some incident quickly quieted the crowd:
- Time Outs by St. John's
- Injury to St. John's player
- Media timeouts on multiple occasions
- Some clock issue or the like where the ref's stopped the game for over 3 minutes

Not surprised to hear that most boos were from the students. The MU student section has an incredibly low basketball IQ, not to mention that most of the current students know nothing about MU basketball prior to 2007, if that. We live in an incredibly impatient sports world where fans think that they deserve a team that always wins and if they lose, it obviously because they're a bunch of bums who don't deserve to wear the uniform...and the coach should be fired.

You forgot to mention the quick 5-0, 7-0, etc runs by St. John's. Those didn't help either.

Agree on all counts. Many of the postings from current students here pretty much prove your point.
I am going to take a completely different view on the booing. Hate me if you want, but I don't see the boos as a negative thing. First, Those who are booing at the game are at least there are into the game. Secondly, if the team is representing Marquette, and I'm someone who either goes to Marquette, or graduated from Marquette I am not being represented they way I want to be. I missed the game, but it sounds like once again there was a lack of effort and heart. I don't know about you, but that is not how I want to be represented. Finally, almost every person who comes and post here has said something negative at one point or another. Those who don't come here have no way to vent their frustration and anger there for they boo. I think everyone holds Marquette Basketball at a pretty high level and this year has been a bit of a disappointment. That's where the Boos come from and it's not that big of a deal.

Good points
I was really saddened to hear the boos. I have been to many games and seen so much worse on this court. I understand being upset...but this does noone any good. Any recruits in the house will be turned off. Say one or two players are dragging, does this help them out? What about the guys that are busting their butts. What does this do for them?
I really think that three of our four guards had bad or real bad games last night and it hurt the team tremendously. We are not used to that happening and I hope it does not happen again...but the whole team should not be thrown under the bus. For that matter, the ones that had the bad game need to bounce back. How is this helping?
I had 10 kids from my son's basketball team at the game last night and they could not believe they were hearing boos.
I know it was a very few people that were booing, but their big mouths and lack of brains resonate when the game goes that way.
I heard the boos on TV and while I understand them based on the way we were playing, it shouldn't be done. Forgetting for a moment the untowardness of adults booing kids in their late teens and early 20s who routinely give their best effort, from a practical standpoint booing kids of that age is counterproductive as it serves as a de-motivator rather than a motivator, not to mention as some other posters have the potential impact that booing could have on perspective players who may be in attendance or watching.
Making yourself feel a little better at the expense of the greater good is just not too smart.
I hated to hear the booing but the 1994 sweet 16 team was booed early in their careers. Its not the end of the world. These guys will get plenty of cheers in future days.
Do hope they shrug off this 3-game slump though so the seniors can go to the dance.
