Lets motherf*^%ing GO MARQUETTE!!!!
-
Sat down and saw the starting lineup ?
JJJ and Burton - would not have thought that.
-
Ox has a big game...again.
Wear down, and foul out their guards and we win.
Oh, and here's to providence keeping the Ners gang for hijacking their 870th thread in a row.
Legs, what say you?!!!!
GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Didn't see that coming. Let's hope it works. GET SOME MARQUETTE!!!

Your guess or for real?
-
Early start, bad weather, not so good team - crowd at tip could fit in the Al.
-
Wow, 3 guard starting lineup, and no Gardner. Interesting.
-
wow...
-
Wow, 3 guard starting lineup, and no Gardner. Interesting.
Burton isn't a guard.
-
Not a bad starting play
-
PLAY THE FRESHMEN..... AMEN
-
Ners is still gonna be pissed
-
Burton isn't a guard.
Oops, my bad - but the announcer called him a guard in the intros.
-
Let'sss GOOOO MARQUETTE!
-
JJJ, Burton starting and a 2-2-1? jeez
-
Cotton has shook off lockdown 2 out of 2 trips - tired?
-
Ed Cooleys head... sheesh....
-
THREEEEEEE
-
Trey J for 333333333333333
-
so is this what an offense looks like?
-
PLAY THE FROSH... IM SOLD
-
Defense is looking good. 3 turnovers for Providence so far.
-
Cooley never saw this zone coming, they will adjust
-
Good hustle by D to get that O-reb
-
They've both made a couple mistakes so far. Having talent masks that.
-
Love steve's pink sneakers
-
Now Gardner, Taylor, Dawson, Anderson and Mayo. It's hockey-style line changes!
-
All 3 freshmen have already appeared.
:o
-
somebody box the unnatural carnal knowledge out
-
More Dawson!!!!!!
-
We have a John Dawesome sighting!
-
10 players have played now in first six minutes. Except ex starter, Jake.
How do players get in a groove?
-
JOHN DAWSON LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!! BABY
DAWSANITY!!!!!!!!
-
Great take by Dawson. Not a good switch or boxout on the defensive end though.
-
Fans can argue about the results of this year's team, but NO ONE can argue about the bright future of the team.
Duane Wilson, Deonte Burton, JaJuan Johnson, John Dawson, Steve Taylor Jr., Luke Fischer. Some serious talent in that group, and that's minus next year's recruits.
-
And we had a pass made up court by a PG
-
Ox has a big game...again.
Wear down, and foul out their guards and we win.
Oh, and here's to providence keeping the Ners gang for hijacking their 870th thread in a row.
Legs, what say you?!!!!
GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!!
Just checking in for a second- taping the game. Mrs Legs 50th!!! Good to be married to an older and wiser woman.
Anticipating a later question, a nice French (sorry, Keefe, no Oregon/Washington tonight) Pinot.
-
And we had a pass made up court by a PG
I liked that outlet pass by JD2
-
For what it's worth, Jake Thomas has been the first player up on the bench after timeouts and big plays to cheer on his teammates.
I hope he's not considering transferring... ;D
-
And we had a pass made up court by a PG
I liked it when Derrick was doing it against Butler ::)
-
I attribute the early lead to our freshman getting some early pt. ;D
-
Bad offense by both teams. PU is 2 for 12 and MU is 3 for 11, ugh.....
Was 8 to 2 when Buzz made that subs, bring back the first line with Gardner.
-
Nice pass by de Wilson.

Freshman are 3-6, upperclassmen 1-7 so far....
-
THIS MARQUETTE TEAM LOOKS NICE!!
-
Freshman are 3-6, upperclassmen 1-7 so far....
Jamil alone has 2 FGs....
-
Wow real nice finish D Will
-
great take and finish by DWil
-
this is refreshing, actually some easy baskets and somewhat exciting pace on offense
-
and then a hell of a pass by Derrick
-
WE GOTTA REBOUND!!
-
Weird comment by KO.
"Both coaches are animated, paychecks are on the line".
-
8 offensive rebounds for the Friars. Buzz won't be happy about that.
-
Who's reffing? 6 fouls against MU to just 3 for Providence. Homer and Mac saying Providence has gotten away with two huge flops so far tonight.
-
Wow! Attendance looks terrible on TV. Are there 10k people there? I don't think so...
-
Buzz using the teams depth and picking the pace up on offense and D... Tire PU's short rotation down.
-
That was a sick pass by JuJuan
-
Crowd filled in
-
2 fouls on Henton. A third on him would be awesome
-
PU can't hit a shot either... That's new for one of MU's opponents.
-
Apparently Brendan Dawson plays for Marquette now
-
We need more points asap. PC will fix their mistakes in the second half.
-
Incredible defense on the past couple possessions...lead by Johnson and Dawson too!
Wow! Attendance looks terrible on TV. Are there 10k people there? I don't think so...
Should have announced before the game that the freshmen would actually play.
Buzz using the teams depth and picking the pace up on offense and D... Tire PU's short rotation down.
A sound strategy given they're dead last in the nation in bench points.
-
Nice move by Ox.
-
Apparently Brendan Dawson plays for Marquette now
I have no idea who BRANDON DAWSON IS... LOL FOR MARQUETTE
-
Looks like they ate their Wheaties today. Really disrupting Providence.
-
Other than defensive rebounding, this is what I pictured from this team back in October. No idea how this ends, but the first 16 minutes have been what I have been waiting for. From every single player.
-
DEONTE = BEAST!!!!
-
Deonte!!!
Play the man!!!
-
Burton is a stud.
-
Anyone else getting a partial from this defense?
-
While I know Providence couldn't hit water if they fell out of the proverbial boat
Where has this team been?
outside of maybe Juan(and he hasn't looked to bad for once) everyone looks like they actually belong on the court.
-
DEONTE = BEAST!!!!
He is Bane!
-
THIS DEFENSIVE MINDED UNIT PACKED THEIR LUNCH...
IF THEY PLAY LIKE THIS..... FROM NOW ON....
THROW THE RECORD OUT THE DOOR...
THE BIG EAST TOURNAMENT WILL HAVE A COMPETITOR IN THE WARRIORS!!!!
-
The freshmen are finally playing defense! The whole damn team is finally playing the scouting report! Don't stop!
-
Wow, PU is 4 for 26 with three minutes to go (15%).
Cotton has 7 of PU's 10 points and only one other player has a fg..
-

Absolutely. Everyone is playing well and within themselves. Where the hell has this been.
-
Absolutely. Everyone is playing well and within themselves. Where the hell has this been.
It's honestly incredible right now. Maybe this is what we should have done all year?
Play them all and just keep throwing different lineups like crazy.
-
Half of the Friars team has 2 fouls. Let's get up to 3 before the half
-
Wow, PU is 4 for 26 with three minutes to go (15%).

I didn't know Purdue was playing ;)
-
Who would win a free throw contest? Derrick or Shaq?
-
How can someone shoot free throws that bad, not even close.
-
MAKE THEM FREE THROWS DAWSON!!!!!!
-
Dang! Kofane barely plays....he should get more time
-
Buzz going with line changes against a team without a bench. Props. Too many turnovers on offense. Could come back to bite them.
-
Half of the Friars team has 2 fouls. Let's get up to 3 before the half
This is huge because they only play 7 guys.
Surprised they don't run into this problem more often.
-
Taylor took a three without a PT. He'll be on the bench for awhile
-
Stupid early 3 pt attempt, silly freshman reach.
-
A pg that can hit a ft!!!!
-
Taylor took a three without a PT. He'll be on the bench for awhile
Honestly idk if anyone is getting punished this game. I like Buzz is going to roll with everyone.
-
Three straight bad possessions, letting PC catch up abit. Too many turnovers and Taylor, bad shot.
Look, a pg who makes free throws.
-
Jake!
-
Jake has the green light for the early 3.
-
JAKE DA SNAKE!!!!
-
Still remember the bat game last year lol
-
While the sample size is TINY it looks like Dawson could be a great ft shooter for us.
He has a nice stroke leading me to hope it isn't just the small sample
-
Three straight bad possessions, letting PC catch up abit. Too many turnovers and Taylor, bad shot.
Look, a pg who makes free throws.
GREAT CHARGE PICK UP DAWSON!!!!
-
DAWSON!!
-
Dawson with the stupid pass......and then drawing the charge. Keep cycling them out there, buzz
-
Damn!! Steve rushed it. Great attempt though. Wonderful half.
-
What's with Providence coach's head?
-
Catch your breath, don't let up.
-
Four Friars and one Taylor....who gets the rebound? Taylor
Best half of the season?
-
What's with Providence coach's head?
Skin condition
-
First half Grade..... Marquette -A
Great Half of Defense, Passing, Scoring inside and out just a couple more rebounds and we would be up by 25.....
Lets not fall asleep at the wheel in the 2nd!!!
GO WARRIORS!!!!!!!!!!
-
Best half of the season?
Yep. I like the hockey style subbing pattern. Might as well try it. Buzz has nothing to lose at this point.
-
So, what's everyone drinking tonight?
Rush River here .
-
Only flaw was defensive rebounding
-
Yep. I like the hockey style subbing pattern. Might as well try it. Buzz has nothing to lose at this point.
BY FAR... Best half of the season........
Cotton getting shut down so far.... Lets keep it up....
-
PC was 5 for 28 from field (18%), to include 1 for 10 from three.
MU was 10 for 26 from field (ok), 3 for 8 from three.
Turnovers were PC with 11 and MU with 7
MU actually outrebounded PC 22 to 21, but PC had 11 offensive.
Taylor scoreless, but had 5 rebounds. Burton had 5 rebounds.
MU had some bad to's and missed some close ones, but defense was awesome.
-

Bud light tonite... I graduate in 2 weeks I gotta take it light..... GO WARRIORS
-
Skin condition
Looks like something more than that. Get that dude a bandanna.
Providence isn't very good. In 12 of 20 games this year they've shot an eFG% of under 47%. Not as good as their record would have you believe.
Keep the foot on the neck though.
Bad shooting, strong offensive rebounding. Providence is who we thought they were.
-
Bud light tonite... I graduate in 2 weeks I gotta take it light..... GO WARRIORS
More reason not to take it light!!! Enjoy!
-
BY FAR... Best half of the season........
Cotton getting shut down so far.... Lets keep it up....
Cotton is their leading scorer, but he is 3 of 8 with 4 TO and 1 AS,Tso not good for him overall.
-
Like our defense tonight. Can't believe that this team beat Xavier and Creighton. They can't hit the barn with the ball.
-
Cotton is their leading scorer, but he is 3 of 8 with 4 TO and 1 AS,Tso not good for him overall.
Dawson and Derrick looked great on DEFENSE....
Drawing charges.... Staying in front of their man... and not giving nothing easy.....
I LOVE IT

I got nostalgic down here in Texas, Lienenkugel's for me
-

They blow. Of all teams inside of #80, Providence's offense is the absolute worst shooting (eFG%) team of all of them. Awful.
-
We are seeing a very good team being beaten by a very well coached team with some outstanding freshman who are learning quickly. This a full team effort. This is a Buzz coached team we are familiar with. Keep it up!
-

Great team steal and dunk there
-
I got nostalgic down here in Texas, Lienenkugel's for me
We'll have to have a Shiner Bock next week in CS.
-
DEONTE!!!!!!!!
-
What a pass by JJJ, but Burton missed dunk. JJJ has made some nice passes tonight.
-
We'll have have a Shiner Bock next week in CS.
I will gladly buy you one RC
-
deonte with a great pass
-
That board by Deonte was incredible.
-
Providence's forwards are 0/13...er 1/14
-
Need to score and get to around 20 advantage
-
So much for the 19 point lead. Jake with beyond NBA three miss.
-
My only complaint so far is Jake coming in before Mayo in the 2nd half...if memory serves me it was the other way around in the first half.
-
Bad decision, bad foul, can't get ball in-bounds.....good time out, glad to see Derrick back in the game.
-
So much for the 19 point lead. Jake with beyond NBA three miss.
He makes about half of those. I don't mind it
-

Clock was below 10 and he has made that several times during the year
-
Guys who leak a little?
-
My only complaint so far is Jake coming in before Mayo in the 2nd half...if memory serves me it was the other way around in the first half.
Tod 2 TO first half that is probably why
-
Gotta make em pay once or twice for pressing.
-
That sinking feeling in your gut that always seems to happen when we have a lead in the second half...
-
Offensive has come to a grinding halt. Buzz gonna ride Wilson and Thomas ?
-
Here comes the run by Providence. Better make sure Cotton doesn't heat up.
-
We are struggling mightily right now.
-
Mayo 3 TO
-
cue the pickup on offense now.... frosh back in
-
He makes about half of those. I don't mind it
Not that far. MU has chucked up four, four pointers and missed all in last possessions, along with a Mayo to, down to 9. Then foul, down to 8.
-
Offensive has come to a grinding halt. Buzz gonna ride Wilson and Thomas ?
Of course he will.. he still doesn't trust the others defense.
-
Put Dawson in
-
Providence 17-6 run to start the 2nd half...yikes. :-\
-
Put Dawson in
He is in...
-
Anderson...how can you miss that?
-
This is turning into a disaster.
Juan is a disaster.
-
Ummm.... a layup??? really Juan?
-
Anderson...how can you miss that?
Sheesh how he miss that.
-
Love Marquette! Play to win always
-
Juan is awful.... first he gets saved by JJJ, then he blows the easy lay-in.
-
Nine straight possessions without a score. Four of which were three pointers, and two fts missed and a Juan layup miss.
13 to 0 run. This can't turn onto a choke game........
-
Juan Anderson is completely lost...he reminds me of E Williams when he completely fell off.
-
17:28 18-37 Chris Otule made Dunk. Assisted by Deonte Burton.
13:48 Bryce Cotton made Layup. 28-37
-
Approaching a 6 minute scoring drought...
-
17:28 18-37 Chris Otule made Dunk. Assisted by Deonte Burton.
13:48 Bryce Cotton made Layup. 28-37
Yup, MU has six points in nine minutes. 19 point lead with 16 to go, this is ugly.
-
LOL this isn't even painful anymore..... I'm numb to this crap happening to us now
-
Hate to say this, but I don't see this ending well for MU.
-
Is there something between playing Wilson and Thomas less and full hockey line substitutions?
-
This game could very well get away.
-
What the hell is going on?
-
Attack!
-
doesn't help that Buzz keeps marching Thomas out there...
-
Is there something between playing Wilson and Thomas less and full hockey line substitutions?
Stem the tide and Prov should tire.
-
4 TOs for Mayo?
-
and Thomas' missed 3 pt shots are just as bad as TOs
-
and Thomas' missed 3 pt shots are just as bad as TOs
Um... then so are everyone else's if you're going to think like that...
-
For once I'm agreeing. Thomas needs to sit awhile
-
Mayo just got bitched on that rebound
-
Great. Thomas stupid, stupid and now PC in bonus for rest of game.
Can't make this up.
-
Um... then so are everyone else's if you're going to think like that...
jacking a 3 pt shot up a couple seconds into the possession when nobody is set might as well be a TO...and with Thomas, you can count on that
-
Mu 8 fouls against to only 2 for Providence this half....Providence will be in the double bonus by the 10 minute mark...not good.
-
Fouls are getting awfully lopsided. And we are the home team!
-
Great pass D Will!!
-
Great pass D Will!!
-
These wacky rotations are ridiculous. Pick 8 guys and play the crap out of them. Derrick, Dawson, Todd, Jamil, Mayo, Burton, Gardner, Taylor.
And I've just seen 2 plays in a row from Derrick that make him look like a PG!! CAn't believe it...but love it...got easy buckets for Burton and Gardner..
-
Good find by DWil there
-
Upperclassmen are about to swat the Friars away.
-
Derrick's got 6 assists and no turnovers. And these aren't the bailout assists - tonight he's made a lot of nice, aggressive passes.
-

So while it was working no complain, but now you dont like ::)
-
Say what you want about Todd but the dude is a gamer
-
Does MU lead the nation in missed layups???
-
THAT is how you foul someone going up for a layup
-
hey, a SG that isn't afraid to slash and attack the rim...a SG that can create a shot
-
Say what you want about Todd but the dude is a gamer
He is very good when the floor is spread, he gets into issues when the lane is packed. Tonight is set up for him.
-
So while it was working no complain, but now you dont like ::)
Didn't see the first half...sorry bro....but guys need to get in a good rhythm...question I'm asking right now is why Jake Thomas is still in the game!
-
My goodness...Providence is getting a lot of calls
-
Enigmayo - turnovers that drive you crazy, plays that look ill-advised but work, and then some solid composure after you've already pulled your hair out.
-
Great D, Jake. Imagine what a good pressing team would do vs. mU.
-
That's 4 on Fortune. He's their worst starter...but with as short as their bench is...
-
Jake strikes again on D.
-
Exactly how does Thomas spread the floor?
-
against the zone, why no dawson and stj? go dawson, mayo, jamil, stj, gardner
-
seriously...I know this has been discussed a lot on this board, but what value does Thomas bring to the floor? I just don't see it.
-
against the zone, why no dawson and stj? go dawson, mayo, jamil, stj, gardner
D Wil has been good, Dawson a bit sloppy. But I agree on Taylor
-
seriously...I know this has been discussed a lot on this board, but what value does Thomas bring to the floor? I just don't see it.
I'm frustrated with him tonight, but to say he has no value is completely inaccurate.
-
Has the 3 second rule been suspended?
-
These refs are so inconsistent.
-
Missed layups and two blocks within three feet. Just killers....
-
MAYO OX JAMIL!
BRING US HOME
-
I'm frustrated with him tonight, but to say he has no value is completely inaccurate.
a potential 3 pt threat who can't create his own shot or be considered a threat from inside the 3 pt line?
-
We got this.
Trust me.
We got this.
-
D Wil has been good, Dawson a bit sloppy. But I agree on Taylor
Wrong!
The kid had no help on the press... Lead to a bad pass... sheesh...
Dawson was good today...
-
a potential 3 pt threat who can't create his own shot or be considered a threat from inside the 3 pt line?
He is 1 for 5, all from three and has three fouls. Two of which lead to one/ones and four points.
-
Exactly how does Thomas spread the floor?
Yep, being a threat outside isn't really spreading - need someone who needs to be accounted for inside and out. Give me JJJ. Can make the trey and has potential to drive, coming up with loose balls, disruptive defense.
-

Thomas does a great job spreading the floor. His man can never leave him, ergo he is spreading out the defense
-
That's definitely Marquette's ball
-
Nice game by de Wilson. Time to lay off. But what why the hell dies Thomas play so much is the new bitch.
-
Does this count as a quality win?

Really?
-

Can't leave him, but can grab a chair and camp out. Baller who gasses his guy each possession running after him is doing more to spread things out.
-
Does this count as a quality win?
It's not a signature win. But it's a quality win.
Good work today Warriors. Let's see more of what you showed us in the first half
-
Really?
DWil had 4 points, 8 assists, 4 steals and 1 turnover. Was 0 for 2 from free throw line. Winner.
Thomas was 1 for 5, all threes and three fouls. More Mayo, less Thomas.
-
I completely agree. But I also think Derrick has been better
Derrick played great tonite.... Defense, Assists and pushed the ball... No Complaints here.....
Good Win
-
DWil had 4 points, 8 assists, 4 steals and 1 turnover. Was 0 for 2 from free throw line. Winner.
Thomas was 1 for 5, all threes and three fouls. More Mayo, less Thomas.
+1
over/under on Thomas ever being stud of the game 0.5
-
Great team effort. Jake and Juan struggled, but everyone else made nice contributions.
-
Thomas was 1 for 5, all threes and three fouls. More Mayo, less Thomas.
If those were your starter's minutes, you'd better hope his last name is Craft and first name is Aaron.
1 for 5...all three's...He's no Novak.
-
DWil had 4 points, 8 assists, 4 steals and 1 turnover. Was 0 for 2 from free throw line. Winner.

Agreed on Thomas tonight. His wiiiiide open 3 pointer was ahead scratcher.
I was responding to Nevada, who has been part of the Ners koolaid gang.
Nevada's comment was accurate. My bad.
-
@Real Chill 83
Lol.....
Great game fellas all around the board....
We was bout that Action....
Lets carry this to NYC This weekend....
-
With about 8 minutes left, and Providence was making a comeback, I was thinking about what I would do in this situation:
- Go with my experienced, on average moderately talented uppper class, and hope they grind it out, or
- go with my talented, streaky freshman, who may put it away, but are also freshman?
Even though I supported going young to start the game, I found my self thinking experience was best, and it worked out.
Was I the only one with those thoughts?

Congrats Chili - I know you are a Derrick fan - he played a nice game tonight. Doesn't change my overall opinion of course, but he played a serviceable PG tonight.

Ners and Nevada,
I appreciate your comments.
Yes, I am a Derrick supporter. And a Dawson supporter.
I think we are on to something special tonight. This team learned to win tonight.
To my way of thinking, Jamil is the x factor. All the talent in the world. Love the guy (yes, I have met him), but he is turning himself turn into one of those guys who has all the talent in the world but....
I am hoping that John and Derick compliment each other the rest of the season. This would be a great combo. A winning combo.
N&N, it's all about how we finish. Buzz gets that. When this season is over, we will all be glad that we have Derrick and John.

To my way of thinking, Jamil is the x factor. All the talent in the world. Love the guy (yes, I have met him), but he is turning himself turn into one of those guys who has all the talent in the world but....
I am hoping that John and Derick compliment each other the rest of the season. This would be a great combo. A winning combo.
N&N, it's all about how we finish. Buzz gets that. When this season is over, we will all be glad that we have Derrick and John.
You can see our D+D = Defense was on tonite......
certainly BTA...... You can tell that they compliment each other well Derrick and Dawson Because Dawsons on ball defense was definitely something hes learned by playing against and learning from Wilson...
I was certainly impressed and hope it keeps up... Im certainly not blind and I may have been critical of Derrick at times but my standards are high... My two cents isnt worth 37 Dollars and change... but I do recognize a great effort by the back court Mobb tonite... 1 team 1 fight....
These guys keep improving and they will be alot to deal with come Big east tournament time......
To make Cotton look pedestrian tonite is no small feat.........

Our D+D combo seems to be working OK.
I have no basketbal IQ (never played), so as objective as is possible for people who understand the whole game, what would happen if Mayo and JJJ took every minute at the 2?
