Heard post-game comments of Buzz, indicating he was never so disappointed in fans as when he heard "boos" following our slide the second half, letting Providence back in the game. I hope someone sets Buzz correct, my sense of those boos was for the poor call on Jamil that occurred under the basket just before that T.O. was called. Granted their was discontent w/ Providence getting back in, but those boos were directed at the officiating, I believe. Be interested in others observations....

Only watched on TV but I felt like there were a lot of boos after Jake missed that wide open 3 in the 2nd half.
I heard no boos beyond yapping at refs.
There was a game a few weeks ago there were a smattering of boos for the team, though .. can't recall the game. And by smattering, I'd say maybe 20 people in the ~6 sections around me.
Lower bowl fans in their little yellow vests don't understand the process. Basketball is a game of runs, and we withstood them. Got a little jumpy with the boos because they don't respect the process.
I thought the same thing for a second, but then realized everyone was getting on the refs. When the refs finally made a decent call, the fans in my section that had been booing stood up to give the refs a mocking polite golf clap.
There are a few blowhards near us who are constantly complaining or criticizing but I'm not sure I've heard boos

Exactly right. I distinctly remember Jake missing that shot and being very surprised at the boos. Disappointing reaction from some frustrated fans.
Dumb fans. Jake didn't force any 3's. If he has a wide open 3, he has to take it. He missed. A physical error, not a mental one.
You sure Jake's miss got boo'd? Or just a bunch of "ARRGGH!!" or "NOOOOO!" .. because that certainly happened.

Think they were booing the continued site of seeing Jake out there 28 minutes...after his unproductive Villanova game...and probably Todd being on the bench. (Not just the simple fact he missed a 3.)
No one disputes the kids are trying their hardest - where the frustration lies is with the decision of how Buzz is allocating minutes.
Wow. I somehow missed that in the BC. Sure we booed the horrible reffing but I truly don't recall a missed Jake shot getting that reaction. If so, shame on those who participated. Booing a college team simply isn't appropriate.
It happened right after Jake missed a 3, but I thought it was mostly do to a borderline call just earlier that went Providence's way. I thought it was for the refs.

As you've pointed out - it isn't the kids fault they are being put in the games. Boos, if any should be directed toward Buzz....as he's continued to bang his head against the wall of starting Derrick and Jake and playing them max minutes. It was even worse earlier in the season when he had those guys paired with Juan and Otule....thank God Buzz finally decided it was moronic to start those 5 guys together.
The boos I heard were definitely in context of the missed three - not sure specific to the three or the growing frustration of lack of offense..
Lot's of booing of the refs occurred for sure, should never boo our own team...
Really frustrating to hear boos when a guy simply misses a good shot. I could not believe that...

Yes there were--not sure because of refs or because Providence came back. Usually the boos for a ref call last 3-5 seconds immediately after the lousy call. These continued into Prvidence's possession, which suggests they were against our play. Buzz is right about this, methinks.
I was surprised to read about the boos this morning, we didn't hear them at the game last night. That must have been closer to the MU bench than we were.

Re-watched the game this morning. At the 8:46 to go mark in the second half Jake misses a three pointer. Boos are easily audible and are fairly loud. ASsume they were for the miss unless something else was happening on the court that I could not see on the replay. Not acceptable if they were for Jake. If you're gonna' boo our team please stay home and boo at your tv.

This isn't Philly. You don't boo your guys, especially when they are kids trying their best.
Hopefully this doesn't affect Jake and make him more hesitant to shoot than he already is.
From up in my section, I was pretty sure there was some booing for play on the court, not the refs.
It's strange how there is such varied opinions on whether or not there was booing in the building last night. People really must have been paying attention to the riveting action on the court not to notice!
Regardless, whatever happened last night was likely nowhere close to the vitriol directed at Scott Merritt or Dominic James or Vander Blue through the last decade. This fanbase is as guilty as any other for turning on their own.
I think the boos were directed an Buzz. Watching on TV, the boos were clearly audible after one of Jake's missed threes. I was waiting for the announcer to say something about it.
And I would venture to guess that the fans were doing it were frustrated that he was in the game. At that point, he had played a lot of minutes in the 2nd half after playing very little during Marquette's run in the first. Early in the 2nd half, he missed two 3s in about a minute of game time sandwiched around an "And 1" foul on him on defense during a Providence run. I know, watching from home, I continually questioned why he was out there during the run. Bad fouls on defense away from the ball and wasn't hitting his shot on offense. The boos were probably frustration boiling over at Buzz for sticking with a player that was so obviously not helping, with perceived better options sitting on the bench. With the backdrop of many fans believing this season was wasted due to that very reason, I was not very surprised some were booing.

I was there. The boos WERE directed at the team & Thomas for their garbage offense that began and ended with Thomas/DW entered the game at 17:00 - 11:00 (or something around there).
Why? Because Thomas contributes nothing compared to the time he's on the court. If he can't hit open threes, he's worthless out there. The booing was a culmination in the frustration w/fans throughout our section (upper deck, behind the basket) was that Buzz finally had an athletic lineup in there to start the game/second half. We were running fine. Up 19. They were doing good. Then for whatever reason he subs our guards and boom....wheels come off.
THAT'S why they were booing. Not condoning booing at our guys, but...that's why. And I can't say it wasn't warranted. People not happy w/whatever Buzz was doing. It's like he couldn't help himself.

My quote to my buddy after he missed that three was "Even Scott Merritt's sitting at home right now saying "man...that guys sucks."
Merritt dealt with wayyyyy more than Jake. Jake gets treated w/kid gloves compared to Merritt.
The booing I heard was almost exclusively from the student section and it was after Jake missed that three. The booing lasted about three seconds. From what I heard people were booing Buzz for playing Jake, or booing Jake to send a message to buzz, either way it's the same thing. It was pretty embarrassing. While I don't believe the "they are just kids," line, booing looks terrible on a national broadcast....not the students best moment.
On a side note, there was also a "we want Dawson" chant starting in the upper deck of the student section, in the second half of the Villanova game. It was quiet and short lived, but it was there.

Have never booed MU or any MU player. Never will. Don't really agree with any fans who do. Its dumb. And embarrassing.
But Buzz has bigger problems this year. He's using his post-game presser to call out the fans?
If Buzz was disappointed it should have been in the number of empty seats. Holy Cow! Watching on TV, over 50% of the sideline seats were empty for most of the first half.
I didn't really focus on the unfilled seats during the 2nd half so I don't know if during the first half they were no-shows or latecomers.
I was at the game and remember fans booing some calls/refs but not the team.

Assuming you are right--not saying you are not--and those people were unhappy with Jake, are they pissed at him, or Buzz having him in there? Probably some of both. So now we will be going from Derrick being the whipping boy to Jake. And of course there are those who can't stand Ox, and some against Dawson, and then some against Derrick, etc. From here on out, it really should be Buzz that deserves praise/criticism.
There was definitely booing. In fact, it prompted a bet between me and the guy next to me...would Jake Thomas take another shot for the rest of the game. After 8 and a half minutes of hoping for a shot, I'll be buying the beer next game.

At the opening tip the crowd was as small as I have ever seen it for a conference game, probably partly due to the 6p start. The lower bowl filled in reasonably well as the first half progressed. On the flip side, folks were streaming out with a minute or two left in the game once it seemed like victory was reasonably assured. I also found that somewhat odd as it was not a late hour.

I agree, the praise/criticism should only be pinned on Buzz......I think the booing was directed at Buzz for playing Jake at that point. From what I have heard from the students section this year, they are definitely in favor of a youth movement, to put it nicely.....
I don't think anyone should have been booing. Yeah, we had a really bad stretch there and Jake had a rough night. But let's keep this in context - we beat a team that is ahead of us in the standings and came in on a five game winning streak that included comfortable wins over Georgetown, Creighton and Xavier. The game was never really in question.
At the same time, I don't think Buzz should criticize the fans. Maybe if they are being unruly or throwing things on the court but not for a brief smattering of boos.

..........keep reading............
I liked what buzz did with the lineup last night. I wasnt there and I would not have boo'd if I was but Jake is over his head. He had some really bad fouls where he simply was not athletic enough, wont drive, most of the time wont shoot, and shoots a bad percentage. He basically provides nothing for MU. Watching him and Derrick passing the ball back and forth knowing neither of them will attack or shoot can be frustrating. As little as he provides I think some of those minutes could go to someone else. Providences run coincided with Jake being on the floor during a stretch where he struggled immensly.

Not that I disagree about booing the hometown team, but I seriously doubt that Jake is so mentally weak that this would get to him.
Those who would boo our own team or a player on our team should stay home. I only hope Buzz does not judge the fan base on a handful on discontents who think they know better. Buzz - for the rest of us, We ARE Marquette!

6pm game is pretty early, especially if people need to get out of work park and would like to have dinner. Historically these early games have had late arriving crowds. Bottom line unless it was abig time game. People especially the older people in those seats you mention are perfectly happy wih arriving a little late. dont see that changing
I also heard the boos on TV when Jake shot... no need to ever boo student athletes. They aren't pros and they aren't getting paid (excluding Kentucky and North Carolina).
In my experience, it's usually the recent college grads who have no qualm about booing players. I know I was more critical of college players a decade ago.
Absolutely heard no boos directed at our team. Several directed at the refs, yes. Wondering if there was some action off the ball that didn't get a call and fans were booing the refs for that, but don't know for sure.
As a paying fan, you have the right to boo if you feel like it. College athletics is a billion dollar business and people invest lots of time and money for these programs. If they feel like they don't like what they're seeing and want to boo, more power to them. This isn't grade school basketball where we need to treat everyone with kid gloves. The Packers were booed numerous times at Lambeau this year and the fans there are considered some of the best in the NFL.

Just because you have the right to boo doesn't mean you shouldn't find a way to be classy enough not to. Straddled the Majerus-Dukiet years. 4 years in the student section. Never booed. Shook my head in disbelief and drank another beer, but never booed.
I heard booing after Jake's missed 3. Also I thought I heard booing when he got subbed in, in the first half, from the student section. Not to expect any different, I got into many arguments about the merits of booing Chris Grimm when I was in the student section. The people that boo Jake are probably the same ones yelling him to shoot, when he touches the ball anywhere on offense.
I dont think anyone is booing --- what you are hearing are GROANS, the exact same reaction fans have when our team can't make free throws. Groaning in disappointment vs outright booing. There is a difference.

Nah. Guys in front if and behind me were booing
with malice whenever Derrick would sub in and definitely on Jake's final three point shot. It was embarrassing, and I'm glad Buzz called those fans out.

Booing is going to happen and especially be magnified because the "cheer-ers" were watching Shawn Johnson speak on campus.
Did they announce the attendance?
The lack of loud rah-rah fans might have drowned out those boo-birds.
Had to google Shawn Johnson. Still don't get it. Why see her rather than go to a basketball game?
I think Buzz is wrong. I sit in close proximity to the team. There were certainly boos, and I was one of them, aimed at the refs. There was a stretch in the second half where they were flatly ignoring fouls on our guys as well as the time Gardner got pulled to the floor.
I heard no boos aimed at the players or Buzz. People were indeed grumbling, however when we play the tandem of Jake and Derrick. They both have their strengths but it makes it really difficult to score. Since they don't have to guard Derrick's open looks, Jake has no chance. He doesn't have the ability to create a shot.

Better question is why have her speak on campus when they can have her attend the game, be seen on TV, and maybe do a routine at halftime so everybody wins :D
Lotta stuff going on campus. 6 PM game so some were still in class, Shawn Johnson was here, its rush week for all of the fraternities, first round of tests for the semester were this week a lot of reasons why students didnt show up. In terms of the "boos" I havent heard any of that (besides towards refs) from what I have heard this year is mostly the groans people have been talking about that and "get Jake out of the fu**ing game" after he misses 4 3s in a row. So if there were boos most likely they are directed at Buzz.

I always find these comments funny. I was in the student section about three years ago. We used to complain about how the alumni never showed up on time, never got loud (except in extreme situations) and almost never stood up. I remember the student section being pretty racous during my years.
I think ever generation sees their time in the student section with rose colored glasses and thinks that their years were the best years. When in reality they are all about the same.
That being said, I agree that the lack of living up to expectations definitely is causing a down year this year. Really unfortunate. Hopefully when we finish this 10 game winning streak that bleacher report thinks we can get, easy peezie, the fans will come back.
Oh...and booing your home team...never appropriate in my opinion. You're a fan, act like it.
I sit behind MU bench (although a long way) and when Jake missed the mentioned 3 I heard a lot of groans but no boos. Officiating was inconsistent to say the least and I booed heartily when they missed another one in the second half. I think Buzz misinterpreted the boos based on the situations but whatever. I think there is a lot frustration with the team so maybe some people booed, not for me but I really don't think it is a big deal but only my opinion.

Oh...and booing your home team...never appropriate in my opinion. You're a fan, act like it.
I did it twice
in the 4th quarter
at Kaep's ints. ;)
"BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" -Me, at my TV.
