We got this.
Damn fox, have to show the end of a blowout and see online the MU game already started
Theo with 2 boards and 2 FTs to start? Good to see.
Great start.
Refs have a quick whistle so far. That's a huge advantage for us. 2 on Bey already
Good start, let's keep it going. Markus looks really focused so far.

FOX29 in Philly broke away for the start of the game. Glad Nova was playing as I'm sure I'd be in the same boat as you.
That was ridiculous.
Gillepsie pushing off like crazy. Moore dribbling like a madman. Samuels dribbling like a mad man.
Ends in a end of shot clock and 1 on Theo.
Great start by the Earriors. Looks like the zebras came in Wrights limo. That was not a goal tend by Theo.
Markus has no business shooting that 35 footer.
Enjoying the game. Lets get the win guys.

Looked like the right call for the wrong reason. I thought it was on the way down but Theo looked like he confirmed with the ref that it hit the backboard first.
Love that Markus is coming out firing.
2 on Sacar.
Koby ever going to make another jumper?
Ill take an And 1!!!
Team looking strong today.
Great move Koby. Caught JRE trying to take a charge inside the circle
Ticky-tacky calls on Sacar X2.
2 on Gillespie. Top two scorers for the Cats on the bench
Koby!!
Gillespie is a punk, in the Diefendork mold.
Still think Devendorf is the worst BE player ever.

Haha not sure about that one...seems like an alright kid. Comparing him to Devendorf is silly.
Impressive start. At the game and Stan just came out to half court at timeout with arms out and bear hugged Koby.
Wojo appears to be extra dialed in today. Not a lot of air punches so far.
Let's keep our foot on their throat. No let up.
3 on Bey
It's almost as if good teams can get run out of the gym on the road during early conference play. Hmm.

Not so. That hook was pure dirty.
Gotta finish the half without Markus
Love the ft disparity in our favor. That is as it should be.
Somebody guard Swiider
Welcome back Mr. McEwen
That Cain 3 woulda been huge if it fell. Coulda been up 22.
Lets draw up a good play out of the TO here.

An obvious offensive foul. Pure dirty? Lol, no.
Who the hell is assigned to guard Swider?
Cain has got to hit that wide open trey. Perfect dime from Koby
A dramatic turnaround. Lets keep it up. Go MU!
Walk-ons need to start the second half.
Transitive property of basketball took a beating in the first half.
Why hasn't Jayce played yet?
Let's hope we put them away. Cannot let them back in the game.

He's not well-suited for playing their bigs. Samuels and Bey are way more mobile. Even John gives up a bit mobility-wise, but he can match up better as can Morrow or even Cain/Bailey.

Yessir. Will be major shot in the arm for team and Kong's confidence.

Or he's just bad I heard. He's better suited for the bench.
Still gotta close this out for a half.
They made a pretty similar comeback last year before we held on by 1.

Oh, did you hear that? Did Wojo text you?
Too bad Theo John could not hit that put back.
Jesus. 3 on Markus.
Hes missing now.
Theo biffs a wide open layup.
Gotta get it going.
its now 13
Have to get it back up closer to 20 soon. Figured they would make a run of course. Let's see how they respond with Markus out.

No, cheeks told me.
3 on Sacar now
Here they come!
A run was bound to happen. Just need to stem the bleeding and answer. Not concerned at all yet
What a block by John!
Huge response by Theo after a big eff up on the offensive end.
When Theo is on his game defensively it is very fun to watch
Bailey missed wide open 3.
Symir misses rebound off a brick.
Gillepsie hits the second chance 3.
Now a TO. Our offense is a mess.
Put Howard back now. It's more important to keep this lead. Make or break point if they can't.
Great action! Marquette still up 12 with 13:15 to go!
D is great aside from the missed boards tho.
Need to get 4 on Bey and Gillepsie who are both playing with 3.
Happy to see the Theo of last year resurface. Nice he's been able to get in a flow and stay on the floor.
Wojo unable to make any adjustment.
Isn't gelesipe playing with 3 fouls?
Markus is straight up chucking this half. And we cant make anything.
Howard was tearing therm apart in the paint in the 1st. Keep doing what was working.
Would like to see Markus penetrate off the dribble a little more often, on the same note I get nervous every time Koby does it
We cannot score. At all.
These are all awful bricks too.
Still up by 10 with 10:15 to play ... MU has only scored 5 points in 9:45 this half!

Yup, make a few shots, keep playing good D, and we've got this.
Yikes. Depressing half so far. Please pick it up.
WE CANNOT SCORE.
@John_Fanta
Since scoring 17 in the first 12 minutes, Markus Howard has been held at bay to just 3 points. Says it all.
@NovaMBB
Villanova has held Marquette without a point for 7:36.
Have shaved the Golden Eagles' lead to 51-43.
7:49 left in the second half.
Should I start the Overrated chant now or wait until the end of the game? #Arbys
Theres 1.
Still not a good shot tho.
Howard is back!
Morrow just goal tended an obvious miss. Awful
Sacar weve needed you.
We got the energy back!
Now we have to find a way to close it out.
MU is built to win today!
The hustle and effort has been outstanding!
Love the effort by Koby...but I think he had some open teammates he could have passed to instead of calling the timeout

Thought the same, maybe was concerned about traveling because he was sliding?
@BenSteeleMJS
Koby McEwen corralls that loose ball and calls timeout for #mubb
Don't know that I've ever heard this joint as loud outside of Bucks playoff game.

Definitely.
But ill take it. For a moment there I thought he was gonna stay on the ground and let them tie it up and lose the possesion arrow.
Theo 1 and 1 is never ideal after a nice stop.
THey get a 3.
Back to 12.
Idk if it could get uglier than this.
THis is purely about holding on
MU defense has won this game!

Reach in by Nova and Markus get called for a charge! WTAF
Marquette rocking Baby Shark just like the Washington Nationals!
MU has held Villanova to 23 points this half with a minute to go! Way to go! This team can win even when Howard and whoever else are cold!
There was at least three push offs by Nova on that last possession

Refs were not consistent at all this game (or even within halves) but players adjusted well.
Damn Koby finally missed free throws
And....Koby with the own goal
Villanova needs to wave the white flag!
Intentional fouls should be rewarded with an extra free throw!
Ends of games can be ugly with all this intentional fouling when the outcome is not in doubt!
Great game!

Yep.... Couple times Koby could have been injured.
Excellent win. Team played well.
Wojo gonna show up for radio interview??
Never a doubt.
Wins a win.
Another ho hum day at the office:
Marquette beats top 10 team
Marcus 29-8-1
Great hustle by the whole team
Honorable mention for Kobe
Hey johnny09 they just beat a top ten team by double digits,and the only post you could come up with all game was that Jayce is no good,and Morrow had a bad goal tend,You must be pretty damb pissed that we won today,Smh
The complainers on our offense need to realize our defense was equally good and allowed us to retain the lead
5 made FG in the 2nd half, I found that interesting, played hard today, good win.

Yes, I'm furious. 🙄. Go be a moron elsewhere.
Waiting for your analyst on how poorly the bench celebrated during the game,how about how bad wojo coached today? Try coming here once with something positive to say,troll

Could you maybe try your own advice and do the same?
One thing I'm not sure got mentioned. At the under-4 (actually 4:02 I think) Nova hit a shot & Jay Wright immediately called timeout. The game went to commerical, and Wright went to work on one of the refs. Instead of gameplanning, he spent the bulk of the break, at least 20-30 seconds straight, just laying into the ref. It was the kind of beratement you could never get away with in game. Quite possibly the longest coach-to-ref conversation I've ever seen at a live game.
After that, Nova went full press and, to me, the rest of the game felt like the Butler game last year. The one where Butler was beaten but didn't give up and Markus got injured because of it. That's right before Gillespie was mugging Markus & Nova was turning up the pressure.
I have no doubt the ugly last few minutes were a direct result of Wright's lambasting of the ref.

It's tough when dealing with guys like you. Mainly because you and Galway are massive dolts who don't know much about basketball.

You get told to do the same and say that I'm the one crying. The tone of your posts say otherwise
Between 19:26 and 7:48 in the 2nd half, MU made one FG....Koby at 7:46 mark. Pretty amazing.

Let's make it easy. Just don't respond to me. Ever. Not even to this.
