Let's Freaking Go!!!!
FULL student section. Let's go!
We owe these guys. Let's hope there's no Driscoll so it't not 5 on 8.
Damn, watching the Travis Ford interview before MU broadcast starts and it struck me how old he looks. Unfortunately I googled him and discovered he's 6 months older than me. Gulp.
Fry the Friars! Let's go!
Always a good feeling when the game before us is already over.
Also, that Loyola Chi team we waxed in a scrimmage...............not good this year.

No, rumors are those scrimmages are all about winning them. So at least a 2 seed bump just for that.
Why did they retire the gold uniforms??????
Here's hoping both teams play hard and have fun. Just as importantly, I hope they get a good night sleep after this game ahead of classes tomorrow
Let's Gooo Marquette!

Oso is the best passing big man I've ever seen.
Is 3 seconds a thing anymore?
Should be a fairly objective commentary with a former PC coach on the Mike.
Flop don't sell here, Ed.
Cooley thought that was a foul on TyKo? LOL.
9.5 steals a game? Is that correct?
Im sorry but im about done with Cooley.
Hes great supporter of the league like when he loved our win against Illinois last year.
But he makes Hurley look like a non complainer. He just does it less aggressively and the refs eat it up. Annoying as hell

That's good old fashioned hate and that's ok in conferences. Still, I'd take Cooley in a heartbeat (if a coach was needed)
A bit out-of-sync on both ends, so tied at the under 16:00 is not terrible.

Great, he's going to be pro-Nova the entire game, What else could go wrong?!???!
Thats it Oso. Damn....thought Chase had an and-1.
Chase!!! Nice!!
I'm ok with it but it still shocks me how much contact Sean Jones is allowed to get away with on defense.
Damn. Chase had good D forcing Carter into a wild shot.
But we have to stay in position to rebound. Everyone just let Hopkins get the wild miss and put it back.
Does Carter even try to score on those drives? He's never close to making a bucket, just seems to flail to hope for a foul
I don't know if we can beat Providence if OMax doesn't accept this defensive challenge on Hopkins. Every shot he takes is too easy.
Hopkins should be priority 1, 2, and 3.
Taking terrible shots.
Too much iso ball early, move the basketball.
Somebody has got to man up on Hopkins and stop the O boards.
Hes just turning every brick into a bucket.

I liked Joplin on him there, he just got lazy for a split second and he got too much space on that 15 footer. Joplin might have to find a 2nd wind tonight if OMax isn't going to step up.
I hope we at least made contact with Hopkins when he entered the portal... Kid is an animal.

Gotta be disciplined.

He's 4 for 4 and every shot is either 1) wide open or 2) at the rim
Lappas just praised Tim (72-92 in the BEast) Welsh as a great Providence coach. Good grief he sucks

Gotta settle down.
No flow right now.
This game is aesthetically displeasing.
The only reason that ref called the foul is because Stevie missed the layup. Officials are guessing. Horrible.
I do want to remind everyone we have the lead. FYI.

At this point, one of the assistant coaches should be tasked with coming up with ways to get a second Technical on Hopkins. It would have more impact on the game than any single adjustment said assistant could come up with
Not a sharp start to this game for either team. Maybe the most out of sync Marquette has looked in 2023. Still in great shape.
This is Crean's fault.

Yup. He has zero points, zero rebounds, zero everything. Needs to step up and play better d on Hopkins
Classic Diener. "Fine, I'll wear the sport coat, but I'm still wearing a t-shirt under it"

Didnt love the TK 3. We had them on their heels he could found someone with a pass.
Playing much better now though. Finish half strong.

No need there, correct. Let's extend this lead and OWN the final 4 mins.
We turned up the D and it helped. Need to keep the pressure on em.
Not getting destroyed on the boards so far
6 totals fouls this half.
TKO was wide open; can't fault him for taking it.
I really want to see another PC tech before half tho. Screw those guys.
Is joplin getting any run?
MU on great, great run. Four minutes to go and Shaka subs in S.Jones, Ross and Joplin. Don't you stick with guys who got you on the run? Can't be tired, well Hopkins maybe, he has not sat yet.
Up 9 when the subs happened, let's see.
That was wonderful seeing Coach Crean saying so many nice things about the final 4 team, about this team, and about Shaka. What a great example of letting go, moving on, and being gracious.

"Why is Ross guarding Hopkins"...Oso double teams and MU gets the steal..."oh"
Let's go now!!
Damn. That cannot happen.
Cant fall asleep on the inbounds there
Horrible defensive rebounding effort there.
Looked like a pretty blatant push by Croswell.
Led to 3 more boards and now 2 fouls on Oso
I think this team would get more rebounds if they did not try to get rebounds. Sheesh.
Just no effort on the loose balls. Rebounding is 1 thing, but when the ball bounces we gotta have someone there.
The inability of Shaka's team to rebound is eventually going to be the death of me.

There is literally no point in rooting for Providence to miss a free throw that would result in a board. THey get it everytime in two games.
Completely lost focus.
Can we get ANYONE to be a dog on the boards. Please.

I came here to ask that very question. First time I've heard that call this season.
It's like the refs got a memo this afternoon .. call one of these so people know it's still a rule?
Oso in moderate foul trouble for a 2nd time against Providence, go figure. Going to need a collective effort in the 2nd half because they are going to attack him.
I rewound it and figured it out. When you're in the lane for 5 seconds, you get called for 3 seconds

Not a great first half and up by seven. Defense played well and they are in control of the game. We have come a long way if folks are upset with a seven point lead.
Does MU ever score with the ball, in closing seconds? At least Oso had a halfway decent shot.
Good Omax and lead built up. Hopkins played entire half, except for one minute. Ha, bad ankle........
Too many layups, short shots for PC, plus offensive boards. Let's see Shaka adjust at halftime.

We're upset only because the 7 point lead should've been at least 15. 😊
Muggs
Why should they be up 15? Did not shoot well, gave up a bunch of bunnies and offensive rebounds.
Thought we were losing based on the game thread so turned on DePaul to watch high level basketball.

I think they've been ok. Sean Jones hit one against UCONN and I know Joplin hit a buzzer beater in one of the games. Would have been nice to close a little better, but I feel they are in control of the game for the most part.
Country
They were in control the last 10-12 minutes of the half. They should win this game going away, plus spread out minutes in the second half.
That was one of the worst offensive halves I've seen Marquette play in the last 6-7 weeks and they still scored 38 and are up 7

That's how you know this is a good offensive team

Worried, yes. This is a home game in BE and PC playing without their second best player/point guard. Hopkins on pace for 26 and 14.....
MU has been up by seven twice, with four minutes to go and lost both.
Now MU has been down before at half and came out playing great. Let's hope Shaka gets them going and adjusts somehow with defense against Hopkins. Hoping Locke continues missing his three attempts.
Huh, we only lost to KU 94-61? I could have sworn I remember it being 174-51
Chest slams officially no longer a foul in college
Kolek tiptoed around a T after his layup
Wow. Moving screen there?
We serious with that foul call on Kolek and no call on Hopkins?
I'd like early season OMax back please
How the hell did Kam have room to make that layup?
Keep attacking Kam.
Nice.
Love seeing that!! Let's go now!!
Every time Marquette gets a defensive rebound an angel gets it's wings.
Let's put this one out of reach. Crush them
Heck of a start to the half.
Providence hasnt been called for a foul in like 15 minutes of game time.
LETS FUC*ING GO
Good segment.
Keep the pressure on them on D .... No easing up. Let's GooMarquette!
Why won't MU press? Without Bynum the press might be the dagger?

Not sure what you consider early season for Omax, but two weeks ago he went off at St. John's.
Joplin's guy immediate wide open trey.
Come on man!

Damn. I thought Kam was fouled.
That should have been a steal by MU, not a jump ball.
Oh boy!
I thought you didn't get called for a foul if you played physical with your body?
I'm glad OMax is open to my coaching
A foul!
All it took was Joplin who moves a snails pace. Rest of our team is too fast
I am really starting to take to Chase.
Yes!!! Prov called for a foul!!

He's used to having opponent's arms wrapped between his on a rebound so when they aren't there he chucks it out of bounds
Chase will eventually attack the rim with efficiency and power.
Croswell was in the paint for at least 5 seconds again
Hopkins travelled on that buzzer beater.
Are you fucking kidding me??
6 fouls on MU is a concern.
Someone put this Carter kid on the deck. Bush league player.

PC gonna be in bonus soon, those darn refs....... MU too much reaching in and some have been after offensive rebound by PC. Just grab the ball.
14 point lead with 12 to go. Down to nine now. Need to cut down on turnovers, grab some rebounds away from PC after shots and stop reaching in.
And of course Paint Touches is now whining on Twitter too. So embarrassing to have a fan base that blames the refs. Every. Single. Game.

Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on January 18, 2023, 09:44:07 PM
I mean if you dont think Kolek was fouled. And the bumps on us have been different.
Then you just dont know the sport.
He wasn't. Sorry you can't see that.
Crosswell was in the lane for 8 seconds that time
Get the towel, there must be blood on the floor
Quote from: The Sultan of Semantics on January 18, 2023, 09:44:17 PM
Nope.
Go watch the replay they showed before the timeout.
Then tell me tk and Kam reached earlier this half in the lane when they had them called against
The problem is Providence should have 5 or 6 fouls right now. If we lead late they will be slapping and hacking and we won't be in bonus.
Gotta be strong with the ball.

There is no correlation between points in the paint and fouls.
Hats off to DePaul!

No need for forgiveness. I am not letting bias cloud my vision. But I'm not expecting apologies either.

And of course Paint Touches is now whining on Twitter too. So embarrassing to have a fan base that blames the refs. Every. Single. Game.
A now 7-2 foul discrepancy at home based on how both teams have been playing is comical.

I'm right too. The reason they are losing this lead is bogged down offense.
We don't need the TKO post up fade...
We can't play defense down low or even try to crash for boards right now because everything is free throws from here on out.
Really need a bucket here.
Yes indeed, Lappas, he parks himself under the basket
Glad they didn't check that. Looked like he got it before it hit the backboard
Refs or not.
We have to get back to running offense.
Lot of sub optimal looks.
That Kam drive was nice though.
Smart hast to start earning his money as a coach now

Croswell just abusing us down low. Can we sub in RJax?
So Xavier took the DePaul hit. That means we don't have to lose to them right?
How I'm the world can you allow that deep position??!! Ughhh.
This is not over.

WTF???? D the Hell up.
TK forcing too much.

No Big East team will make it through the Sweet 16.
Devin Carter just slid 4 feet and didn't get called for a walk.
Immediately drills a 3. Officials have had one for sure.

One reason that could happen is how they call games in the BE a lot differently than other leagues.

Providence can't stop us off the bounce, we can't keep them off the offensive glass. Which one will win out
Four straight layups for PC, then a three. Layups are daggers, MU has to fight underneath.
That three from Kam was huge, but momentum stopped by that PC three.
Need a basket here though, huge possession
The Mini However Many has won one title since I've been in HS. I graduated in the 80s.

Point blank nyg. We have to work harder.and toughen up.
Focus!!!
What the hell kind of shot was Kam's FT ? From his left hip?
Cromwell travelled
Up 7 with four to go.
Been there, done that and hasn't been good.
Let's close it this time
Get a stop. NOW!!
Huge steal Kam.
Terrible camera angle.
Again, Providence just wants it more in the rebounding battle.
Getting a little helter skelter.
If anyone on MU could get a defensive rebound I'd enjoy watching basketball more
Omax that was a god awful shot. Dont ever do that again
Oso didn't even leave his feet on that foul.
I don't get it.

We had plenty of time to take a charge there.

PC must have 20 second chance points this half. Horrendous. Never seen the likes of it.
Kam Jones keeping MU in game.
Hahahahahaha.
LOL
Sultan: "Good call".
Unfortunately, that was a correct call on Jop

It was a clear foul. Seriously it wasn't even questionable.
Sweet Freaking Jesus.
Providence with the bold strategy to not foul Oso
And he still fumbles it away
SMH
Why not use a timeout there?
Not a good possession.
Get a bound and Joplin pushes the guy in the back. Stupid........
Could have sealed it there, now a game again.
And Oso passes to Kam at ankles.
MU was up 8 with 1:30 to go. 8.
Please god don't let us unnatural carnal knowledge this up.
Croswell reached
Incredible how the dregs of this board come to the fore in these game threads.
Iggy WTF
No reach on d there
Omg. Slam tbe freaking door.
Meh, neither team is very good, tbh.
Can't dribble to the corner TKO. Come on man...
Incredible find by Kolek
Theo John used to be whistled for fouls for looking at guys. This crew can nearly get assaulted it seems and not get a call.
Why is Joplin in the game on defense?
Joplin is just a dumb basketball player.
What is the point in fouling there?

People looooove Cooley and Providence. Will always be seen as the scrappy underdogs no matter how much they win.
Providence foolishly missed the first and made the second free throw no negate their best offense
I honestly don't know if it makes me feel better that there are no numbers in front of MU's future opponents

Goose, are you concerned a bit with how we played tonight down the stretch? A few things bothered me but maybe I'm overreacting.
Muggsy
You are much more micro than I am. I think Sultan was correct when he said the offense stalled out for a bit. Not a great performance but the game was never in question. I have zero concern about the team after tonight. Actually, winning with a B- night against a good team is a big positive imo.
Guy on postgame show says TK is first team All Big East. He said put him on Villanova and they're a top 25 team and he's being compared to Connor Gillespie as an impact PG.

Personally I think we're the best team in our conference Goose even with a few weaknesses. I don't think a top 4 NCAA seed is a lofty goal. But we need to keep our foot on the gas.
Muggsy
I am not sure we are the best team but they can win the BE. X is very good, Creighton is going to be there and UConn will figure it out. That said, I think they have a chance to make a good run in March, especially if they land higher seed.

Goose, this is a terrific offensive team and it's primarily our ability to score in the paint. Kolek finishing at the rim has been huge for us. Shaka also seems to know how to oress the right buttons line-up wise.

100%
TyKo scoring and finishing on his own at the rim has been a game changer all season.
I said it early and often- until he scores and becomes a more well rounded team this squad won't take the leap.
He scores, OMAX got strong, Kam made the Js.
All three did what the big 3 should do to win a big game, and then there's Oso...
We good. Let's keep it going

I compared him to Brunson after the Illinois game last year. Glad to see the announcers on the post game show are catching up.

Goose, are you concerned a bit with how we played tonight down the stretch? A few things bothered me but maybe I'm overreacting.
MU's play down the stretch definitely left some things to work on. There was some careless ball handling and falling into traps that led to turnovers, failure to secure rebounds leading to second chance points, some unnecessary fouls, and a couple of ill advised shots. Fortunately there were enough clutch shots and free throws to keep the Friars at bay.
Coach Smart said in the postgame that the second half seemed to take two hours (true) and provided some teaching moments. Always better to learn from wins than losses.

I wouldn't go that far...Brunson is one of the most successful high school and collegiate players of the last decade.
Kolek is great, but he ain't Brunson. And that's okay!

He isn't. During the Illinois game and frequently this season, he controls the offense like Brunson did. Brunson was obviously far more accomplished. But, people like comparisons. At his best, TK reminds me of Brunson. One man's opinion.
Saw Kam's postgame yesterday and he mentioned Providence is tough because they foul a ton and a lot of them don't get called. Said it was a focal point from Shaka to not expect calls because they get away with a lot. Love that they were prepared for it.
