LET'S
GO
NOW!!!
:)
How's the crowd?
Let's Go Marquette!!
Let's establish an inside game and the open up threes!
JLew needs to kick that to DM. Too much one on one early.
Calm down Olivier.
There is either Good OMax or Bad OMax.
Really no in between.
Too many 3 attempts. Which is what we were dong when we lost 4 in a row. Need pant touches t open them up like Kolek did with morsell. Les Go Marquette!
Missing a lot of open shots and playing tough D. Marq looks to be the far better team, only a matter of time here
Hopefully Kam and GE provide some scoring. OMP and TK are off early.
Getting some good looks, not making a lot of them so far.
Omax has got to start making wide open 3s. Really don't care about anything else. But wide open in the corner, gotta make them.
Kolek moving the ball well but yet another wretched floater? in the paint.
So far the D rebounding has actually been really solid. Unfortunately the one we didnt get was a easy put back. But keep it up!

100% spot-on PG.
God I am happy Kam stayed committed to MU.
Good burst from Kam.
I like getting Jop some early minutes.
Hell of a double team on Nunge a couple possessions ago.
BAM. KAM.
Kolek way of on the chippie. What ever happened to a shot fake?
Ughhh....Kunkel.
Nothing worse than getting Kunkel'd
freakin kunkeled all night
What on Earth was that by Oso?
Need to move the ball and attack more.
Nice. Good downhill attack by Lewis.
KUR!!
Great play be Stevie!!
B-SHITE
That was a charge.

That was a charge.
I didnt mind the call it was close. Still a good play by Greg. Rather than a easy bucket it was a foul on the floor.
Feemantle is a mugging thug. That was a foul on him. That ref sucks.
Quote from: DoctorV on January 23, 2022, 01:28:46 PM
Great play be Stevie!!
Shoulda got an assist for tipping it to Kur
Both teams pretty sloppy. We have some really unforced TOs.
Hopefully we can build on the lead a bit.
Overall playing great D
Keep attacking. I think if we relax a bit we can find our rhythm. Play with force and zero hesitation. They don't have a rim protector. Attack, Attack, Attack!!

Don't think so. Greg didn't give him to room come down.

Agreed. Mostly why it wasnt a shooting foul as well. Freemantle didnt have time to even try to do anything.
Stevie really flying around!!
Nice D. Time to go on a little run
Take the layup Kolek. you aint Magic.
Big 4 point swing there. TK had an easy layup
Good time out
Quote from: TSmith34 on January 23, 2022, 01:40:45 PM

Didn't even look at the rim.
Cmon Tyler
Only thing worse than biffing shots at the rim is completely refusing to take a wide open lay up. I woulda laid that in to put us up 11.
Gave them a easy breakaway.
Hes gotta get outta his own head on the non passing offesnive side of the ball
If Justin keeps canning threes like that he's gonna play himself into the late first rd of the draft
Very good mins from Mitchell.
Quote from: willie warrior on January 23, 2022, 01:40:28 PM

Yeah wide open and he passed it out. And let's get the ball inside more. Opens us up for 3s. Paint touches! Good TO by Shaka
Quote from: Fred Garvin on January 23, 2022, 01:36:49 PM
Stevie really flying around!!
Heck of a half for him.
His shot on that open 3 was scary. But man is he contributing in all the little things.
Time to bring cam back in

We really need the young man to just ball. The shooting is a head issue imo.

[/quote
Tried to. There was no whistle for like 4 minutes so him, Greg and Oso enjoyed the court side seat waiting to check in.
Thatta boy O-Max.
Wow
Hell of a save by that X guy in the corner to keep the errant pass from going out.
THen we get Kunkel'd again.
We can attack this team at will. Continue to bludgeon the paint with power and find Kunkel.
kunkel is leading the wooden award watch jesus
Was that g-tending?
Shaks: Plant somebodys ass on Kunkel and have him stay there.
.
Tough close to the half. We saw some good things but I was hoping +10-12.
If I'm Shaka, I start calling time out at about the 2 min mark to end the half. As good as we've been in this stretch we still are terrible at finishing the first half. We go into a fog and crap the bed at both ends of the floor.

Yep didn't like Shaka finishing the half with a lot of bench guys in there together.
Overall an average half but Marquette needs to get a nice run early in the half to get the crowd into it

He did call a TO. With under 3 to finally get a stoppage and some subs.
Unfortunately the long length with no whistle kinda messed our rotations and we didnt have the most preferred linup out to close the half.
Live line has marquette favored by 2 points. ill take that all day
I would totally not be opposed to Davison and Kunkel going into the Thunderdome.
Need Greg to have a good second half

Agree Mugsy! Take it in. Draw fouls, score, kick out!

Would have been if Kolek didn't miss again on two, two foot shots and then give the ball away for an X layup.
Mitchell came in and shut down Odom, who beat MU last time. Shaka needs to find someone to get on Kunkel. Freemantle will be back on floor with his two fouls though.
Feels like we should have had a 8-10 point lead at half.
Alright time to get it going
Cmon Kur we need ya!!!
I liked it better when I was as catching up on the game with my DVR and I could fast forward through good X things
Ugh, right down the lane three straight times
X missed a lot of shots so they are taking it in on us. Need to change up D on that.
Starting to feel like a game Marquette won't win conventionally.
Shaka has to find something to get the guys fired up
Kolek 3, unconventional
Who is this announcer?
Quote from: TSmith34 on January 23, 2022, 02:08:45 PM
Ugh, right down the lane three straight times
Four straight times
Goaltending
Operation FEED JUSTIN
Xavier scoring at will
Gonna need to get a stop this half
Maybe zone?
Need to pick up the D, gentlemen
Looks like Marq has decided to not play defense in the 2nd half...18 in 4 mins??! Wow
Our D is awful this half - need to change it up or bring more intensity.
X scoring every possession isn't good. Need to increase the intensity.
Well, at least they call every other goaltending
Stevie with another huge deflection
Nice little push to lead at the under 16. Lets go now need that defense back
Freemantle is a punkthug
Mitchell has been outstanding on defense.
Credit to whoever said this earlier, but Prosper seems to either have it or not have it at all. Today is the latter, and I believe the coaching staff realized that quickly here in the second half.
Don't love Greg trying to guard Johnson
cant stop em
Gotta be able to get those long rebs. Let's go now!
Here we go again with puke poor rebounding
How on earth is MU going to be a better rebounding team next year?
Getting completely outplayed right now. Huge 3 by DM.
Kur struggling today
Just pass the ball there Greg. Ughh.
Are we supposed to be in the 50's with 13 mins to go?
Tremendous spurt by DM. Great kick to GE! Let's freaking GO!!!
Active shooter!!
There goes that man again, GE
This is a much better Daryl
wheres Iggy
Quote from: MuggsyB on January 23, 2022, 02:26:19 PM

Yes, Darryl huge.
Need DM, Greg, Kolek or Stevie in as much as possible at the guard spots to finish this game.
One timeout left for nearly 12 minutes?
Hate to see that TO called.
Lame effort from those in attendance today...that building should be rocking.
Either they changed it to 2 immediately or they didn't deduct a timeout
All the momentum and Kam takes that shot.
Be smarter.
Damn now they did change it to 1 TO left
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on January 23, 2022, 02:32:04 PM

yup
Good job battling on the boards by Oso
Less Kam
More veterans.
This aint the game to have the mamba mentality
No reason for Kam to force. Let's go now.

Correct. More Darryl and Greg NOW
Surprised the crowd eems listless. What gives?
No need for that 3 from JLew. Freaking attack!°
Some of our shot selections
(https://media.giphy.com/media/l1J3CEuwHVZQElOBG/giphy.gif)
Cam!!!
Kam shows us!
My goodness!! That was a SWEET up and under!!
More CAM
Wow Kam has a really long left arm. No idea how he got that on the other side of the rim
Kam is so infuriating at times and then he does that.
Actually feels pretty good being up 5 at the under 8. Need a strong spurt to finish and defend our turf
Quote from: MuggsyB on January 23, 2022, 02:37:26 PM

Second point answers the first. Energy quickly drains when we don't hit poor shots.
That's at least seven wide open threes missed, some untimely to say the least and too quick.
Oh my, Kam Jones.......that's two NBA layups. Now control your jacking up threes
Quote from: Fred Garvin on January 23, 2022, 02:38:13 PM
Cam!!!
This guy?
(https://www.gazellegroup.com/main/legends/wp-content/uploads/sites/41/2015/10/marq-marotta-news.jpg)
JLew needs to slash and burn
I have NO problem with Kam having the "ultimate green light." He's MU's most talented offensive player. Absolute microwave.
Let's close it out with:
TK
Darryl
Kam
JLew
Oso
😁😁😁
The Stanimal Snickers commercial needs a mention
Nice!! OSO!!
Damn woulda been a big bucket for Justin
Man. Just stop, plant, and finish that JLew.
Have to rebound to close this out.
Drain this next possession to the under 4
Gets some boards and they could pull away!!
MU seems to be out of sync. Need to run their offense and let their passing find the open shooter.
Looking like Warriors today. Let's finish strong!
Get a frigging rebound
Rebound going to sh it a bit
Grab a couple and we got this
Grab the rock!! Rebound and everyone wins!! Let's go now!!
Let's finish strong please!!

Maybe everyone is still depressed about the Packers last night?
This is fun
Why is there a Butler commercial during a Marquette Xavier game?
Some really good D played by us since X's 6-6 start. Nunge, Scruggs, Freemantle are big boys...tough to battle on the boards but our ball pressure has been great leading to a lot of the misses/steals we've seen
That was a bad foul, he was wildly off balance
Kunkel, Freemantle and Nunge for punks of the year
Kolek will never get a foul call
Surprised GE is off the floor.
We gonna need to score
Wow exact location of the no charge for Greg in the first half
Another terrible possession by Kolek. Very upsetting. Why??
Terrible offense last 2 minutes!! What are they doing?
Another game we are getting jobbed by the refs.
Value those possesions
Definitely not a charge but kolek seems to be struggling again.
Quote from: MUEng92 on January 23, 2022, 02:52:38 PM
Kolek will never get a foul call
Those darn refs again.......
MU hasn't scored in two minutes. Kolek ugh two possessions
Stop dribbling around superfluous and get the ball to JLew or Morsell. NOW.
Now that you say that Willie,wheres no longer today?
Get
A
BUCKET!!!

There was a Providence commercial earlier. I think our game was originally at noon and the other game at 2:00. They got switched and the commercials didn't.
I like Kolek at pg, but a few too many casual passes. He'll learn.
SLAM
THE
DOOR!!!
:)
Morsell gets foulded on his shot, no call. Then he has a tie up and gets called. Bullshice.
Still have our time out
Daggar!!!
Good Kam
Now thats a Kam dagger

BAM!! Let's all step-back and kiss ourselves!!! (Stacy King)
Jones fouled also Where is fluffy to tell us that we are not getting hosed?
That possession had the blood pressure up.
What an amazing finish to this game
THE SHAKA ERA IS HERE
is no longer still mad
They've tripled us up at the free throw line so far. I thought Marquette was attacking the bucket as well.
I hear nolongerwarriors leading the chant of, "Shaka! Shaka! Shaka!" at the Fiserv
No longer is helping Porter Moser pull Oklahoma out of the basement of the Big 12
Morsell has been GREAT lately.
Another MASSiVE win for MU!!
I think we hit the polls at #19.
Wow. The defense on that last unimportant X possession was crazy tough

LOL. Anyone who would have preferred Porter Moser over Shaka Smart as coach really needs to re-evaluate their thought process. Just as do those who said "this team sucks" earlier this season.

The amazing thing is how well this team plays together considering they really never played together before. It is remarkable. Simple remarkable!

This. He was the team's rock today. Crowd could feel it too.
Great scene today. I thought the crowd was fine.

Look good, but I like to see the crowd on their feet by the 2 min mark in a close game with a ranked opponent.
But also nice that that's the biggest nitpick from the game. What a stretch of ball.
