Predicting a big win tonight for us.
Markus for SOTG (unless Dunks is in the house).
GO WARRIORS!!!!
https://www.muscoop.com/index.php?page=chati
The last 15 game seconds of the PC Xavier game are some of the worst consecutive seconds of basketball I've ever seen at the end of a close game
Uuuuugly game . Like Cooley.
Where was it? Thought you were out ill or something!!
2 TOs by Joey in 15 seconds
We always seem to forget to how to play basketball against DePaul. It's like their suckiness rubs off on us.
Long way to go though.
Sam getting good looks
Just missed both
We got this
Foul?
Sacar gotta make that lay up.
Hope Theo is fine
Can sacar please finish a play to the hoop !????
Officials seem reluctant to blow the whistle again.
Anim should only shoot if it is a dunk.
D looks good. Limiting them to one chance.
Their points have come on a blown layup and transition 3 off a TO.
Theo may very well have a triple-double with blocks before his career is done.
Sacar is looking like early vander blue. Great moves to the hoop rarely resulting in baskets. I have no idea how he manages to foul up these great moves to the basket

Willie, you need to take a few hits off your bong before you watch MU.
These TOs are maddening.
Bailey basically hands them points with a stupid pass
Was hoping for a cruise control game for once. Nope
Stop with the stupid bounce passes!!!
2 more missed layups
We're definitely not a first half team
We don't look like we are into this game. More going through the motions than actually playing with intensity.
Dan turnovers. Let's go!

"Turnovers are uncharacteristic of this Marquette Basketball team"
Whaaaaaat?
This guy has never seen us play.
Is it just me or is our early game shooting percentage atrocious?
My god.
Sacar biffs another
Alright, get Cain in there for Sacar please.
Another sacar special. Jeeesssss
T!!!
We can't buy a bucket. But so far solid D by this group of defenders
We've cold, but we'll heat up
Quote from: real chili 83 on January 23, 2019, 07:58:05 PM
Willie, you need to take a few hits off your bong before you watch MU.
You are right, I stand corrected, he just missed a dunk. He should not shoot at all as he has missed 5 straight. Put that in your bong and hit it.
Sacar has to be one of the worst finishers at the rim for a starter level player in ages
That's a terrible tech.
Seriously, how arrogant do you have to be to call that?
Sam will start taking this game over shortly...at about the 6:00 minute mark.
We're lucky DePaul is not very good. Why are we wearing pink shoes?
Another T!!
Markus snuck in the game from the bench when the tech happened.

I like how Markus looks for low 5 with no one in the lane...
Howard practicing the low 5. Always on point that one
Interesting Howard on the FTs. Even on the technical does the same thing every time. Including the motion of slapping fives with teammates, even though they were not there.
That's serious consistency in repetition.
The offense has got to improve
Markus tries such an outrageous shot he travels before he can even shoot lmao
Another TO for joey
Hope Jamal gets some run this game. It would be nice to get him on track for the rest of the year.
Sam getting great looks
Can't buy one yet
Vander nice. Am i wrong!????? I know somebody in this forum agrees with that fact.
JFC. Hit a Fing basket for Fs sake.
(sorry)
We gotta draw a couple more fouls for the bonus because like last game we can't buy a shot in the first half.
Lucky the two techs have us close to bonus
Sooo cold. Keep grinding and they'll come. Credit DePaul's D
Joey bricking a 6 footer. W are not looking like a top 12 team right now with all the misses and TO's
Need to get past these slow starts, Sam will heat up.
Anyone know the reason for the pink shoes?

Agreed. Not sure I can complain about a single shot.
Sam is just missing 3s so far
And we've missed like 5 lay ups.
Getting good looks
Time for sacar to sit. Next man up
Now that's good ball movement
Sam!

Markus has gotta hit Sam there
Call no fouls all half
Now calling stupid ones
That was off them!!
Defense is the reason for our lead
Picked it up big time.
Great D that half.
Especially when resting Markus and Joey or Sam.
Our subs didn't really score. But they didn't allow anything.
Good half defensively. O had some bad stretches but 40 in a half ain't bad. Hit the glass harder and it should be comfortable margin when it's all said and done.

So it's okay to shove the ball in the ref's chest while staring him down after he makes a call against you? I thought it was the most obvious T I've seen in a while
I love Theo
Quote from: real chili 83 on January 23, 2019, 08:34:10 PM
With gas, baby.
I watched it a couple times. I concluded it was a poor call by the ref.
38% shooting, 7 turnovers, up 13. Huh.
Up 13 after that half lol
Well, start of game:
3 turnovers in 90 seconds
Sacar misses an uncontested layup
Markus misses open three, no one within five feet.
Then 7 turnovers in first 8 minutes
After:
No turnovers
Joey with three threes
Sam got hot
Theo on defense
Sam defense on Strus, who is struggling bad
Markus just ok, he is really, really due
Sacar probably worst half offensively
Should be destroying them, but the start of game couldn't get them going.
Keep it up.
Anybody have the halftime line or O/U? My site doesn't have it available. Assuming Depaul somewhere in the -2/3 range 2nd half?

I believe he should not have been allowed to shoot the first two. It has the be one of the 5 on the court when the T was assessed
No doubt that's what POed DePaul bench.

DePaul seemed to give MU fits the last 4 years. Kind of like the bears vs the packers. Through standings out the window, usually is a good game
I bet DePaul would win straight up for a small amount of money. I didn't think Mu would cover -8.5 and I looked at it as a win win. MU wins great. DePaul wins, well at least I get something out of it

Nice jinx
Good lord what a brutal start.
Sacar my god
Take it easy rec specs
Our start to both halves was pretty awful. I know it's DePaul, but that's no reason to spot them right out of the gate.
Terrible start to the 2nd half. Brutal.
Sacar hate has gotten out of hand. Jeez
Come on boys pick it up slow start again. Keep moving the shots will fall.
I wonder if the microphones are on in this huddle. My goodness, terrible start to half.
Does sacar have a made fg yet? I havent looked at the box
Theo
Jfc. Grab the ball. Now MH hurt
Uh oh....
Nut shot?
It seems like the ball has been greased the past three games. Out guys struggle grabbing and controlling it. Is it the slap happy Defense if our opponents or lack of consentration?

First time I've been happy that one of our players "only" got a nut shot.
Markus stop with the over dribbling
Jesus Christ Markus
This is terrible
Chart getting mugged
This is hard to watch
There were like 7 fouls on that possession. No whistle.
Vander stop baiting man. Ur namesake is in the mu hall of fame with worst finishers along with sacar
Chart gets hacked. No call
Morrow stands straight up on rebound. Foul.

You're like Sand-knit with Luke. You guys should start a club.
Great pass by Ed. to Sammy.
That last tie up sums up how it's going for Markus and Sacar right now
Oof, Sacar has been awful tonight. Like worst game of his Marquette career bad.
No i despise chart far more than sacar. I really dont have any ill will for sacar just that he blows great moves constantly.
Tooney is making him look bad tonight but he needed a decent game to get unglued from the bench

Sacar needs to fu cking stop
Fouls picking up
Lmfao. Sacar sit down!!!!!
Awful call there.
Refs making their presence known!! Please sit Sacar
A lot of awful calls in this half. They are holding the whistle when we are on offense.
No one read about Sacar's value aside from offense today, huh?
Yikes. Depaul shooting the rest of the way means we need to really cut down on the turnovers. Just gotta do the little things and we'll be OK. Might be easier said than done at this rate, though...
Has Sacar sat at all? 0-9 is one ugly ass line

Theo John is always what I wanted for Marquette as a Big East big. He is like the anti-Heldt. Finishes with dunks, rebounds strong, blocks shots, doesn't get pushed around. It reminds me of when we made the run with Robert Jackson. Just a meat and potatoes guy.
Glad they didn't call the reach-in foul on Reed. Much rather let Theo get the flush....
Come on, Markus.
Wtf is Markus doing???
He's literally telling DePaul to comeback
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on January 23, 2019, 09:18:02 PM

Chartouney with ball security. Markus with TOs. Weird day.

100% agree
That's seven turnovers for Markus, 16 for team. With #7 minutes left, disgusting.
That with Sacar 0 for 9, reasons for too close.

Didn't look good
At least Wojo got it right in the cuddle. "Take care of the ball, take care of the ball, take care of the ball!"
Joey needed to shoot that one.
No good.
That's an absurdly quick jump ball. Are you kiddIng?

Thought about taking DePaul, but when KenPom has them at 12 point favorites, you really don't usually see disparities of more than a few points usually.

So how does the half point work on the spread. Im new to it. Does a 9 pt win get it ?
Theo. 16, 10 and 6. Take him out, they will play hack a Theo. Oh, Wojo did.
Markus, bad turnovers, but 15 for 15 from line.

Did someone pick us to lose? Honest question, I don't remember anyone picking us to lose. Some people said it may be closer than we like but that we would win in the end.

This is probably in reference to the prediction thread.

No i despise chart far more than sacar. I really dont have any ill will for sacar just that he blows great moves constantly.
Tooney is making him look bad tonight but he needed a decent game to get unglued from the bench
It's concerning that you despise on of our players

Anyone else notice the cold shoulder Wojo Gabe to Leitao after the game? Seemed like words were exchanged.
What were you watching? Leitao was giving refs some words at the handshake and Wojo was going to let him go, but then DL grabbed him back and they chatted briefly. Nothing to see here folks.

Interesting Howard on the FTs. Even on the technical does the same thing every time. Including the motion of slapping fives with teammates, even though they were not there.
That's serious consistency in repetition.
I didn't notice that at the time. Just went back and watched it. That's awesome.
Markus an assist away from a double double, 23 points, solid defense, and almost singlehandedly fouled out two of their best player. And all y'all can focus on is his turnovers. Y'all really need to reflect on your Markus hate.

I'm not hating on Markus, but I can see how it would be easier for some. Did the majority of his damage at the stripe which just isn't as flashy, and didn't hit a three, also not flashy. 8 TO's is too many, but looking at the rest of his line, I would have been okay with 4 or 5. FWIW Theo also would have been approaching triple double territory if he wasn't called for some soft fouls.
If anyone has a link to Cain punching Joey in the nuts please post. Thanks. I'd love to share that with my Blue Rat friends.
Markus still has not had a double double at MU.

Most overrated player in Marquette history! (and no, I am not using teal when it is obvious sarcasm).
Hell of a presser Wojo gave!

2 things:
1: 90% of the people I know that went to Depaul look exactly this this kid. That school breeds hipsters
2: We can make fun of him all we want but a walk on at a High major is going to be in better shape that almost this entire board ever was in their 20s.

Gotta admit, I checked their roster during the game to: 1) check and see if he even was on the roster; and 2) see what the story was.

That was beautiful in its simplicity.
Not sure what the deal with that kid is but i have seen him do his jumping and cheerring when the orher team has a big play too

Am I a horrible person if I admit that the first time I saw this guy awhile back, I assumed it was some sort of "Make A Wish" situation?

Yes, that is horrible. I thought it was more of a special Olympics deal.

Wait? He's on the team? I can't see it. I always assumed he was Leito's kid, why else would you put up with that nonsense?
Note to self: Don't ever sit behind the DePaul bench at an MU game. The kid is so distracting, you'll have to listen to the postgame show to find out who won.

I know, I was really just co-signing that my first thought that he couldn't possibly actually be a real team member.
He actually played on the La Lumiere National championship team with Brian Bowen, Jordan Poole, Jaren Jackson, Tyger Campbell etc. Either this kid is sneaky good at basketball or there is a massive talent drop off from the starters to the other guys at La Lumiere

exactly why I actually grabbed my phone and checked their roster.

I think he "actually played" on that team in much the same way he "plays" on this DePaul Team. From an interview (https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2018/2/13/16964618/depaul-walk-on-pantelis-xidias-college-basketball-greatest-hype-man):
"Throughout high school, our assistant coach at DePaul was our head coach, Shane Heirman. He was always talking to us about bringing energy. He said whatever we're doing, do it to the best of our abilities. Know your role. If you don't play that much, then what are you really bringing to the team? So for us it was bring energy, clap, if the guys need anything, and as far as hyping them up, bring it to them. So I just kind of took that philosophy to the next level."Granted, walk-ons at any major college program are far, far better basketball players than the vast majority of us ever were, and he's probably not an exception. But I get the impression that his role at La Lumiere was the enthusiastic mascot at the end of the bench...kind of like now.

Same. MU had opened up a huge lead in the home game last year, and he was still jumping around down 28. I thought it had to be one of those cases.

Watching that highlight video of his abilities. I'm way way past my 20's and am in better shape than him still.

As I watched that highlight video, I was reminded of a conversation that occurs with some regularity on this board:
Enthusiastic Earl:
"Look at this video of [insert name of recently signed recruit]. He's awesome."Negative Nate:
"It's a highlight video. Anybody can pull together a highlight video that makes him look like a stud."So, now we have a counterpoint for Nate.
That video appears to be JV or Freshman ball

That truly made me laugh out loud. Excellent point.
