Let's go now. I expect a W tonight and a solid performance. Attack and pounce on them quickly.
annoying its 815 now
Very nice Senior Night ceremony. Well done!
2 pt fav, might as well try spoiler and salvage something
Freemantle traveled. Damn.
how many fans are there?

1800
cool. not many but was nice to hear some legit cheering
Ughh. Cmon Theo. You're not a guard. Let's go now. Focus.
Let's take it inside and make the, foul us. Nice 3 by Daws... but let's take it to the rim and keep the D strong
Great energy out of the gates for Mu
Did Wojo get boo'd?
Travis Steele is not a happy camper right now.
Poor footwork by Theo trying to establish position.

Amazing we can't seem to get the ball inside. Yes. Attack the rim with authority.
Should be up ten now. X had terrible start. Not taking advantage of the opportunity.

Muggs..we are not going to blow them out. Not our nature this year.
Betting over 144, appears to be a sub optimal decision.

Justin proceeds to blow a wide open dunk...
just lay it in
Omg. JLew needs to shake that off.
wow just wow..not even at point blank range
Such sloppy ball handling. Ugh
Thrilled with the effort on D so far.
i am going to bed..i'll check this out tomorrow
Very frustrating. Should be up 10. Why do we always seem like we're in a rush? Calm down. On both ends of the floor.
It won't go down in the boxscore, but that missed dunk might as well be a turnover.
Go Marquette Win!!
Lewis did not look happy at being taken out following that missed dunk
Another turn with a player going 50 mph the second he touches the ball. Why? What in the world is the rush?? Every turn has been unforced this far. Smh.
Honestly turning games into full slop like this one, might be the recipe.
Whats the saying?? "Never argue with an idiot, they will just bring you down to their level and beat you with experience".
Might be the same thing but with sloppy basketball. We sure as hell have the experience and X looks frazzled. Cant even dribble.

He was mad at himself for the ball slipping. Frankly, he needed to get pulled jogging back after missing. He's in his own head right now.
Yeah I am with the announcer.
Why is Dawson not pounding paint with this guy on him?
Freemantle is losing his cool
NIce little side-step and pop by GE. Our bigs need to slow down and be much tougher in the paint.
Just an observation - X has two of the better players in the conference and a bunch of freshmen playing now.
Shades of next year for us?
We love just kindly handing the other team points.
Could the turns be more frustrating??? Inexcusable.
Give Theo a rest
Justin looks awful tonight.
Another 2 pts handed to them in transition.
Terrible call on KM. Bcrap.
Justin killing us tonight.
Anyone bothering to coach Dawson and tell him to get in the paint?
Also, is he afraid of the paint?
Driscoll rears his ugly calls... AGAIN ! ! !
Quote from: GoldenWarrior11 on March 06, 2021, 08:52:21 PM

Our bigs have had a rough half. If I was Wojo I would kindly tell then to survey the floor and calm the hell down once they get the rock. If a double comes, move the ball. If not? CALM DOWN, take your time and get to a comfortable spot. There is zero reason they should have this much trouble.
Not an intelligent play AT ALL by Theo.
The fact we are up 7 and Theo, Justin, Dawson are all playing like they are Andrew Rowsey's size is at least a positive.
The negative would be all 3 are playing like that.
JP time??
Clear foul on Carter.
LOL dudes got 4 fouls.
25% of the fouls this half are on that guy.
Of course we miss the 1 and 1
What??? Scruggs slipped.
Big East needs a complete reset on the officiating. It's terrible.
Should be up way more. Hoping to get it to 9 or 11 at the half.
Why??? Garcia launching a contested 3 after a t-o??
This half by Dawson is inexcusable.
If the player isnt listening sit him. If its a coaching decision, lose your job.
Greg with some more big hits.
I hope he plays a good role next year. We need a deadly shooter.
Thought there was good energy and effort out there this half. Was encouraging to see.
Terrific half from Elliott. Cain played well too. That was a confident J for GE after a beautiful shot fake. Start him the 2nd half for McEwen.

Theo with two fouls

Lewis is at least trying to sit in the paint, just failing miserably.
Good grief, the turnovers suck again. Plus Lewis dunk miss is that 9?
Lewis barking at people on bench, should look in mirror. Probably worst five minutes of his career.
Fremantle with two fouls, Carter with four fouls. Get to Garcia low please coach. Why is he chucking up threes with major foul issues, why?....X has big problems if Fremantle gets three. One guy left on bench. I don't get it, even announcers saying why isn't Garcia down low.
Glad have lead, but should be substantial. Thank you Greg Elliott.
The last few games when we double a player on defense we are swarming him. Fir last last 6 years we doubled and dropped off a guy just when we had them trapped. I like this better. Yes. Greg and Jamal flying high. Like it. Must be able to adjust second half to what they will do
These refs are freakin' crap

I recall that many of us said the same with the last highly ranked big man freshman, Henry Ellenson.
When Driscoll refs , the calls suck ! ! ! IDIOT ! ! ! 8-)

I think that was shot clock management. Taking a wide open 3 with 51 sec (or so), ensures that MU would have one more possession. I think it was a good shot; he just missed it.

Great points nyg. I wish our big would just get position and slow down once they get the rock. Also, Carton is drawing 3 guys quite often. If he doesn't have the vertical drive get rid of the ball and find the open man on the swing.
I hope winning is more important to wojo than giving seniors minutes. Theo is in the way in offense, Greg needs to play more instead of Koby. Only Jamal deserves to be out there.
I would agree with the announcer. Marq looks like a tourney team, at least in the first half. They played great, especially on defense. Keep it going!
Im puzzled why Carter was out there with three fouls. He was playing with so much emotion that a fourth was inevitable (and it happened very quick).
Not complaining at all. Just odd.
I would expect some type of press from XU in the 2nd half. Gotta continue to take good shots and take care of the ball. Definitely start Elliott to begin the 2nd half.
Elliot has been a savior for MU.
Ughhh. Lazy trans D.
Dawson finally getting into the paint.
We come out launching 3s.
Get Elliott on the floor. NOW.

Why are we launching 3s with Greg ont he bench???
And why is Koby in over Greg?
Greg time
I see the coach listened. Three possessions, three three pointers clunked.
Scruggs is our daddy
What??? Offensive foul on GG??
College basketball just sucks with these rules.
Gonna be a lot of foul trouble with these refs
Our young bigs are struggling defensively. Late on rotations. I'm at a total loss as to why GE sat the first 4+ mins. He was in rythym too. Extremely upset by this decision by Wojo. Is Garcia hurt a little?
Quote from: WolfganghisKhan on March 06, 2021, 09:26:32 PM
College basketball just sucks with these rules.
The refs are clueless
Totally out of control by Carton. Had ab easy kick to GE.
Whats sad is even with this god awful officiating. I am still gonna need 3 OTs to get this over.
X is going to the basket second half. Paint. What are we doing to counter? Seems like nothing
Granted, 1 of the calls was horrendous
But has Koby ever had a game where he wasnt in foul trouble??
They just don't learn. Always rushing every time a big gets a touch. Danger time. Playing very undisciplined basketball right now.
11 turnovers, 14 fouls and 0 for 5 from three in second half. Ugly of course
Need number 4 foul on Fremantle to win.
The offense is in the full inept stage again.
This is embarrassing.
It's like we went into half and game planned how to blow the game.
And another turnover on inbound play. Just unreal.
5 pt. Turnaround
this team..
Once again. Opponents make adjustments at halftime. We don't.
It would be frustrating if it wasn't so comical.
Think the refs have been incorrect more often than correct tonight.
Big probs. This seems to be a theme. A total lack of intelligence, discipline, and poise in every facet of the game. Came out with the wrong line-up to begin the 2nd half imo.
Start making 3s let's go M U
Let's see if MU can be as tough as X the rest of the game?
That's it! Theo to DG. All day.
Only team in america that gets abused by Kunkel
DJ needs to see the floor when people converge on him I'm the paint.
Big 3 by Cain.
Another missed travel
Theo leading the team with 4 assists ;D
Lame foul call there. Bail-out. Ughh.
Horrible fucking call
Kunkel, Kunkel, Kunkel. Smh.
announcer says we can win the bet babyy
JLew!!!
GET KOBY OUT OF THE GAME
He not a good fu cking basketball player. You don't play bad players in crunch time.
Just stop it.
Garcia doesn't play D.
I don't like the high hedge. Our big can't protect the paint and is staying there for an eternity. Just play straight up, they're getting easy opportunities.
Forced shot by Koby leads to an uncontested dunk on the other end. 4-point swing right there.
Carton is going to have to make two plays down the stretch. Similar to the Whisky game

No, his terribly selfish shot just handed them 2 pts.
Next possession the ball sticks and we dont even get a shot off. Greg is better and it isnt close.
lol just terrible offense and we let Scruggs make absolute mince meat of our transition D again.
I would get Elliott on the floor. Still dumbfounded by Garcia launching threes on critical possessions.

He had one bad possession. And Koby is 100x better at the defensive end.
I prefer Greg's game for sure but Koby had been totally fine.
Why is Greg not in the game?
We were down and out from getting Kunkle'd again.
Make free throws and we win
fu ck u kunkel haha
That mighta hit their guy
I think that's our ball.
Thats our ball
Great call there!!! Let's go now.
looked like off cain tbh. wth
W
:)
The team has definitely gotten better at the end of the year. Or so it seems.
Nice job
Good W.
Nice W. Glad they win the last one at home. hope they make the run in the BET
Pretty sure that was off of Cain.
Glad we won 4 out of our last 5. Not a good season at all but at least there was no late season collapse!
Ok, now the refs are fine????
Glad that Kunkel shot went down and out, whew.
Give it to Kunkel though, was talking and laughing with Theo at end.
Nice win, even ugly second half. Congrats seniors
That's four out of last five, no real collapse like last few years.
Awesome Win Marquette!!
4 wins in the last 5 games...an other Wojo year end surge...extension!
Quote from: nyg on March 06, 2021, 10:15:48 PM

No, that was clearly off Cain. They missed calls all night, even after a clear replay.
It obviously didn't matter, but why was Symir in on that last inbounds play where Xavier needed to foul? Seems pretty elementary that you would want your best foul shooters in the game....

Yes. Sometimes you wonder. But Koby missed the front end and I think he might be our best free throw shooter. At least he was.

It was a toss-up. I saw it re-direct off the shoulder, ball didn't change direction after the elbow. But, I'm, surprised they reversed it. I'll take it.

Well Theo has almost doubled his assists per game this year, massively improved his FT shooting, and has shot the 3 with deadly accuracy. Some NBA team is going to have a pretty nifty 6-9 PG.
Yeah, that announcer was spewing weird hyperbole all night that anyone that had watched more than one half of an MU game knew was wildly inaccurate.

Yep, it was clearly the announcers first MU game because they were praising Wojo as well. Theo has had 2 passes this season that did not end up in turnovers and both were today... and the announcer was raving. Hilarious.

Bob Brainerd is a local guy. He's done plenty of MU games on lesser broadcasts before. But Settles was horrific. He sounded like he was trying to angle for an assistant gig with Wojo.
Bob Brainerd was the Marquette PA announcer in the Crean era.

Now your hyperbole is going in the other direction. Theo's passing has been much improved this year--he's got more assists than Jamal, Greg, or Dawson this year.
Most of his TO's are offensive fouls or getting the ball stripped when attempting to post up.
