Let's go now!! Get out of the blocks quickly!
Fanta is doing play by play.
Pro starting 5 Sr's ! ! !
Go Marquette!
Need Kolek to score at the basket to open up more passing pops as teams adjust to him
And drop 3s! Rebound!
Rebounding my god
How was that not a shot clock violation? Touch the rim?
That 1st PC hoop is tainted.
Please just grab the ball and we got this
Have to rebound. That's 5 points we have given them off the glass. Focus and box out.

I wasn't sure on that. It's not reviewable?
Shaka talks about all 5 crashing the glass for rebounds but rarely eased it. A couple popped out of our hands. And resulted in PCcpoints. Need to rebound better. Might be the key to game. Let's Go Marquette!
Stop and POP. KAM!!
Sheesh. Bit of a heat check there.
WTF was that by Kam?
Excellent D by Kam on that Horschler possession
If that wasn't a foul on Elliott in the lane, they are really going to let them play today.
We are speeding them up which is definitely good
pass greg
Nice move to the hoop by Joplin. That is sooo needed! Go Marquette!
So based on what they are letting go so far, I would estimate about 36 fouls called in the 2nd half
I just dont understand how we consistently go 10 minutes without the oppenent committing a foul
Its not like we just lauche Curry 3s all game
Is the sound out or was there a 10 second long profanity stretch by someone?
Ughhh. Bit of an offensive drought. Relax. Move the ball.
Kolek just airballed a 3 from the top of the key short and to the left?
Really?
MU can't exist without him but he's just an unbelievably poor shooter.
Refs letting them hack away while we aren't getting any calls.
JL in kind of a funk so far. TK has to remember he's not the primary three point shooter.
Bad News. Justin is awful on offense right now. Terribly forced shots
Good New. We are up 6
Lewis is forcing a bit early. Morsell and Kolek are playing great.
Defense looks solid. Need to attack the rack a bit more. Lewis with a slow start.
Right now we are just jacking long range 3s. Run some offense.

He's hit two threes and barely missed another. Kolek has been good today from
the perimeter.

One foul in 12 minutes while playing pretty physical is a bit hard to understand.
The juice in this arena. The color guy needs to annunciate better
4-1 fouls
Beautiful fast break
We are taking really good care of the ball til that last possession
Lewis needs to get a bucket inside. Attack.
Lewis is coming back out of the clouds today. Bound to happen
Jesus..just hopped on this thread and you'd think we were down 10. LOL. Our defense travels..a thing of beauty. Love O-Max defensively.
Excellent take by TK.
Lewis continues to jack long 3s
Get Lewis on the bench for a bit
We should be up pretty comfortably. Lewis needs one to fall .
Kur got bumped on that.
Keep jacking 3s will be kiss of death.
Try running some plays
Too much hero ball.
What in the world did Daryl see on that pass
My confidence level went up based on the refs not falling for the flop against Lewis
MU really outplayed them this half for Providence to barely be down
KUR!!!
Damn that was an excellent take by Daryl but it didnt go down
Hell of a tie up down low too
I don't expect Prov to be able to keep up their hot shooting

Yeah I don't want to hear any more Minaya DPOY talk after that flop. Good defenders don't need that.
We should be up double digits. Tough 6 pt swing in that careless turn. Overall though an excellent half from the Warriors defensively and taking care of the rock.

Fantastic first half defensively.
Low scoring defensive dogfight as I expected.
Marquette has not shot well and is still in the lead on the road against a tough team in a tough environment.
Lets get it going in the second!
Minaya is a great defender and making it tough for Lewis today. Gotta give credit to him.
Missing O-Max on defense over the past few minutes
Execute on this possession.
Morsell needs to make a couple baskets.
Thats a great fu cking take by Justin
Why the stop?
What is Cooley upset about? His guy got too bullied?
Warning to Lewis for......running back on defense?
WTF?
That's it. Nothing wrong with playing the power game and a deuce off the glass.
Warning for Lewis? That had to be wrong, correct?
Did he say warning on Lewis?
A warning...on JL?
BAM!! GREAt D!!
WTH was that!!???
Maybe Oso should have stayed on the bench for the last possession.
dumb possesion
Last shot was.......not executed well
Really solid half overall though. Lets get some shots to fall and take it
Won't complain being up 6 on the road at half
I will take that half. Lid on the basket for part of it, but it wasn't for lack of looks. If the defense holds, they're in good shape.

He should've gone right back to Cam.
Ed Cooley looks stressed AF..his head on a swivel reacting to what Shaka is doing/subbing. I think we wear Providence down in the second half. Keep rotating the guys in and out.
Our defense is incredible. Demoralizing to the opposition. I'd estimate 7-9 of Providence's 23 points are second chance points.

DM with 5 steals and TK 0 assists.
Need a solid second half offensively and defensively. Lewis, Elliott and Morsell will explode second half with points! Let's Go Marquette!
0 free throws and 0 offensive rebounds at the half.
Isn't that 2 of the 4 "important factors"?
I know I'm biased but Marquette looks like a much better team. In fact, MU may be the most talented and best team in the BEast.

Marquette just looks more "comfortable" out there, and that's versus a lot of the best BE teams in the last month.
I keep waiting for them to get rattled at some point, and they did v SH in the 2H but only briefly. Hopefully it's not in the 2H today
Also, you deserve a lot of credit for identifying early that the press should be used more sparingly because it was leading to easy baskets- Shaka was trying it and spotted it also, and now we see very few breakout easy baskets.
We also see a lot less "hurried" brutal rushed shots, although we saw some today.
Overall much more organized, calm and in control.
Now let's drain some shots!

Our defense is incredible. I'd estimate 7-9 of Providence's 23 points are second chance points.
Unfortunately, defensive rebounding is part of defense. It's been our Achilles' heel. 22-15 on boards.
The TO's and steals are keeping us up (how much overlap is there on those 2 stats?).
Gotta figure JL is going to pick it up, and we usually shoot 3's better than we've shown so far.
Let's put these jerks away.
Did anyone happen to see the highlight just now from the Duke-Louisville game of Theo on the bench while a Duke player shot a 3. With the shot still in the air he turned to face the crowd with 3 fingers in the air. Granted it was all Duke fans behind their bench but that's some confidence in your teammate

We have missed a number of clean looks. But you're exactly right about the rebounding. Also, you can't expect then to throw it away 10 times in the 2nd half. Anyway, we are do to hit some shots.
It's so blatantly obvious Fox is going on the cheap with these halftime reports. There is no breakdown of the actual game being aired on the network followed by a non descriptive "We'll send it back to your game" from Rob Stone. How odd are these pre-recorded halftime shows?

Omax and kolek both fouled on drives with no call. Lewis fouled on a strip with no call.
Many points to providence as a result
Settle down. Lewis's s needs to take only sure inside shots. Need to move ball, and guard their threes. Let's Go Marquette!
We haven't hit a triple in ages. We really need to get it together right now. Unfortunate momentum swing.
Now the blaming the refs game begins
BAM. Big shot by Kam.
Cmon Daryl.
Saw that one coming from 5 seconds out.
FLOP ! ! ! 8-)
How does a paid ref fall for that crap?
FUG Horchlaer
UGHH. Rebound the ball. Have to take this game it's right there for us.
Cant get over the hump
Poor rebounding and then Kam rushes a 3, 2 seconds into the shot clock. 7 becomes 3.
Get Kur in
I can't handle the lack of defensive rebounding effort. Long way to go, just need to score one more point than they do.
Seems like everyone on the team who makes a three thinks they're en fuego and takes the next available three opportunity and misses. SMH
Safe to say oso has lost some confidence.
Oso simply has got to make that
Such a good dish by TK
Ugh - rebounds and missed 2 ftrs
Crowd winning over the refs

Remember that play
14 to go, MU up 7 and have a two on one break. Morsell plows into Durham and yes he fouled him.
Huge momentum play there. Got a bad feeling. MU getting pummeled absolutely pummeled on offensive boards.
prov should be happy to miss cuz theres always a guy there for the clean up
They don't block out very well
Gotta be able to board. Play such good D but give up too many 2nd and 3rd chances.
Piss puke poor rebounding. Soft. Soft. Soft.
Gotta send all five to the defensive glass.
Think our luck runs out today. Poor rebounding and too many missed layups.
I hope I'm wrong, but I think Providence pulls out a close one.
Providence 12-0 at the Dunk
Marquette 7-0 when leading at the half
SOMETHINGS GOTTA GIVE
One big plays d, gets a block and other 4 teammates stand around watching opponent pick up ball for a layup. It's not good for the blood pressure

Yeah, surprised some are insinutating that was a bad call.
Durham definitely flopped a bit, but Daryl very clearly lowered his shoulder and barreled into him. Big swing.
Time to punch back. You had to expect a little run. Have to clean the glass though.
Lots of ball watching when the Providence shot goes up. All five guys put a body on someone, especially on the perimeter.

They are also hitting absolute prayers
Not much of a foul on DM but I'll take it.
Prov not going to keep making these circus shots
Carry by Providence. Refs let it slide
tired of prov garbage going in
Why not goaltend on DM shot?
Durham who is possibly the most inefficient shooter in the leauge is nailing terrible shots
I'm starting to think we are watching a Disney movie and their #1 is the star hitting unmakable shots
Why is there no one under the basket!!??!!
What?? Damn.
More lusy rebounding. Engage your brains
Jesus
Horrible box out and then Kur hands them 2 pts with a lane violation
Could.be the game when not rebounding might finally come back to bite us
Please get Elliott out of the game...and re-insert Kolek. No need to take O-Max out either.
Where's Kolek?
Lol. Refs miss another reach
Watson is gassed.
Guess the refs arent calling the 3 second call on Providence. Watson just camped in there.
Omg grab the ball!!
Part of the issue is bad team rebounding - Kuath had a great boxout on the second chance three - someone else has to be the one to actually grab the ball.
This rebounding is embarrassing
Watson reaches over Kuaths back and the ref blows
him a kiss.
if there is no one open cant kur pretend to back his guy down??
Quote from: DoctorV on January 30, 2022, 01:05:06 PM

Get Kolek in there.
I thought that Morsell 3 after it shoulda been there ball woulda been a huge game changer but this one looks like it's going down to the wire
My family upstairs have to be worried I'm having a mental breakdown with all of the YES!!!....F@#$...REJECTED!!!!....WTH?...coming from the basement
Giving them too many free points.

Taking Kolek out never results in anything but disaster for MU.
We've had plenty of chances to take thIs game over. But that was a ridiculous turn. Very unfortunate. Time to refocus and find a way to get the W.
Where's Kolek? He has just two fouls and plenty of rest. He should be on the floor the rest of the way. I don't understand why he's been out for so long.

Its occuring to me that part of the issue is the give and take between rebounding and playing fast. The guards are torn between crashing the boards and getting down the floor to be in position to initiate offense early in the shot clock. I'm not smart enough to know how to balance those two things - i just know second chance points are very frustrating as a fan.
OSO..two EASY layins today and misses both.
Oso you gotta finish dude
Another delicious dime from TK
4 three pointers after PU offensive rebound. 12 points, plus the others.
PU converting those boards to point and that's been game so far for them.
Let you guys get back to the ref thread now
Let's go now! Thatta boy Oso.
What on earth was that? Kam with no trans d?
Might want to stop the ball.
There has to be something wrong with my TV. It almost looked like Tyler was fouled on a drive
Daryl just handed them 2 pts.
We gotta stop forcing shots here
Lewis better pick up the effort on D
FT gonna matta down the stretch.
Offense looks stagnant this half

Foul Warson close to the rim.
Watson living in the lane
Wow just daring kolek to beat them
Terrible call
Have to defensive rebound. Nor sure at all though about that foul.
Not a foul
Very disappointed in Justin's effort, he's been great, not today
What is that calllllllll. Come onnnnnn .
We just cant grab a rebound.
And Durham is a complete joke. Its an all year thing. The guy should be called for an offensive foul on 80% of his drives. But he draws the fouls
UGHH.
The last two possessions should have had the same call one way or another
Durham elbows his way in.
Watson fouls and the ref loves him
Should have been a flop warning
This is fun
Make up call there? Got lucky on that one
I hope that obvious flop sticks in the refs heads the rest of this game.

A good 1/4 of the game thread is devoted to whining about the refs
Travel on Watson
this loss would sting like hell
At some point you have to get a rebound. It's really that simple. Grab the ball!!
Glad I turned the sound off before that last PU possession
We simply are incapable of grabbing the ball
MU simply does not try hard enough on rebounds.
seems like they get most of the 3 pt rebounds
Not sure how Kuath got so out of position there.
Also you hack Watson there. Period.

How many 2nd chance points do they have? 24?
Kuath was thrown to the ground on the board attempt. That should have been an offensive foul.
Just throw your arms around Watson if you're incapable of boxing out and rebounding.

Didn't love the last timeout. I'd rather have it for that very scenario when the play breaks down.
Complaining about the refs in this game is kinda weak. They called it both ways. Justin probably got fouled, and he probably fouled the guy while getting the rebound. Gotta finish.

I don't think the corner was supposed to be empty.
Didn't love the last timeout. I'd rather have it for that very scenario when the play breaks down.
Complaining about the refs in this game is kinda weak. They called it both ways. Justin probably got fouled, and he probably fouled the guy while getting the rebound. Gotta finish.
I'm with all this. Refs didn't lose us the game. Frustrating how inconsistent the 1H was from the 2H, but it was pretty even both ways. When you don't crash the defensive glass, you put yourself in position to commit a lot of fouls.

Not at all.
This is a historically soft MU team. Rebounding has been an issue from day one until now.
Where were you during the 7 games winning streak?
Split the next two, then take care of biz the rest of the way.

The only call I had a real issue with was Durham crashing into Morsell and being awarded two FTs

He's pop in to sneer anytime MU's opponents would start to close the deficit, then slink off like the kitten he is
It's a historically soft team? That's the dumbest comment of the season, and by ALOT!

I know. Just posted it knowing he won't answer the question.

I do agree that Morsell was the victim of the refs inconsistency more than any other player because of how physical he plays. He also falls victim to refs' fetish for calling offensive fouls, particularly against a visiting team.
I starting to think in real life he saves kittens and helps old ladies cross the street, then comes here to balance his karma out

Don't like cats.
Helping old ladies, most definitely. Every single day.

I agree with this...that was a terrible call. DM was straight up and down..almost like the one they called on him against Aiken in Milwaukee. I will say the refs did give us a questionable favorable call on the next possession that sent Justin to the FT line.

I totally agree with your entire commentary. I do think Greg should have been running to that empty corner...who knows.
It sucks as we had that game.
Every Big East team would have struggled to win at Providence today, and we almost stole one. Good things to come yet this season.
I feel strongly we are better than Providence and really let one get away. But I'm trying to calm down. The bottom line is MU will have every opportunity to seize a prime position in the BEast and a solid ncaa tournament seed.

Can't win em all Muggsy, not yet at least.
You're right Marquette missed opportunities, but Providence got strong at home late and they earned the win, gotta give 'em credit.

I hear you Dr.V. Although I do think better attention to detail should have been made when Watson got the ball at the rim. Foul him hard.

They did. He dunked any way. Thick, where MU's bigs are thin.
No question they let them play all game, but how is Watson allowed to literally throw Kur to the ground before his and-one with 44 seconds left? 👀

Yes but you still find a way to hack him imo. You play with ferocity, force, and power with the game on the line.
We're just a very poor box out team. Oso gets bodied and pushed out of position quite often. As instinctive as Kur is defending his man and blocking, he's not really quick or strong on the glass. Plus poor hands.
Tough loss but not discouraging. A game we probably should've won on the road against a good team.
Muggsy, they did hack him. He powered through. He is a grown man.

I've watched this probably a dozen times in a row and the more I watch it the less it seems like a foul on Watson. Kur's feet are so damn spread out like he is doing the splits before the 3 even went up. He's practically immobilized at that point and then just loses his balance and falls down.
Particularly galling if you live in RI. If I hear PC announcer Joey Hassett say Friazz one more team instead of Friars I'm gonna lose it. Good effort Warriors! The best is yet to come!

Violence!?!
I'm not gonna quote NLW (who may be sexist as well as racist) but the women's team is not soft.
Today's game really came down to poor shooting. There were so many chances in the first half to push the lead to double digits and the offense just wasn't there. During the lockdown defensive stretch MU was unable to separate. The missed layups were frustrating as well. There were numerous misses from in close.

We got pushed around when it mattered Spaniel. I was disappointed we didn't find a way to rebound and grab the ball to close the game out. But in general I'm a fan of attacking with clarity and authority. We did not do either today.

No doubt we had a plethora of chances to extend the lead and perhaps put it out of reach with some buckets.
The game was great and all, but anyone know how the bowling turned out?

Not sure if it's been discussed but I thought Fanta was great on the call. Much more subdued than other outlets and extremely knowledgeable (not surprising) while understanding and discussing certain game situations.
