What a freaking gritty win! Foul trouble to our two best and most important players, UCONN in the Garden, win anyway!
Hell yes! Finish it tomorrow and let's run with the 2 seed we deserve!
Wades
That was gritty to the highest level. Great frickin win !!!
I am raging hard right now. I couldn't love Shaka anymore than I do right now.
We had to beat UConn & the refs tonight.
Who tonight?
Creighton or Xavier. I think Xavier is our best matchup.
Hurley at 8 min timeout look-in in first half "you have seen their best defense, this is unsustainable"
MU: f@ck 'em

Who cares- f'em. Hopefully thus helped the "I don't want to face UCONN" crowd get the COLE out.
MU is the one who knocks
What a fu ckin game!

+1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
I have a big mouth, but right now I'm damn near speechless. A game for the ages.
The UConn fans here all look so, so sad. I've never been happier.
F%CKING AWESOME!
That is all!!!
This was a road game, make no mistake, in the most challenging of foul situations. And they still gutted this out. Easily the most impressive win of the year... in a year of a lot of good wins

I guess +1 seems miniscule.

Tonight was one for the ages. This team is all team special and I am fxxkin jacked up.
That's the toughness this program was built on. Glad it's back in a big way.

Yes said that in the game thread that Marquette had to play better than UCONN and the refs. And they did!
My knuckles are sore from all the dust bumps at the Garden. So special

agreed!
This team can play with anyone! What a win.
I'm getting texts from UConn people I haven't heard from in awhile.
Unbelievable game! How fun was that? I love this team so much... give Shaka all the boosters' money!
Another day and another test. And I'm not talking about a three credit class in this or that. I'm talking about determination and poise.

You guys both nailed it. That second half was the most tough -minded MU team I have seen in 10 years. Joplin scoring big. Chase Ross hitting HUGE shots. Sean Jones tireless on defense as a freshman on the big stage. This is a special team.
Hell yes!

He has it all.
Best hire by MU in 60 years. Great for Marquette and perfect spot for Shaka, aina?
Against all odds. Just the way Shaka prefers it. Just a bunch of dogs who never stop believing.

Love this!
This is the attitude of the team, happy to see fans starting to feel this way too. It's been too long. So excited about this team/program. I have been saying 2 seed for a while even though the numbers geeks disagree. I think this win gets us a 2.
Doc
I stand by my greatest hire ever. Times have changed and Shaka is the face of the University, in a time when it was needed. He will end being bigger off the court than on thd court.

This guy is a superstar. I hope we can keep him.
Got to hand it to the players on the court when Oso, Tyler and Joplin were sitting. They didn't buckle or budge.
Joplin was so over matched with Sanogo but kept hitting the 3s. You might get two, but I will get three.

My cousin and I have a nice banter about our teams. Finally nice to be able to say something. She's a big Marquette fan for tourney until our inevitable rematch there

Good to see you on scoop. How about those Warriors?

If MU brass has any sense at all, they would sell Joan of Arc and pay whatever it takes to lock Shaka up, hey?
i saw dogs and cats necking after the game

I am enjoying the f ing hell out of this! Haven't felt this way about mu hoops in a long time. Haven't posted much but still reading scoop.
Sensational performance overcoming a lot of adversity tonight. First tournament championship appearance in 21 years. Now let's bring home first tourney title since Deane's team 4 in 4 days in '97. We Are Marquette!!!

Well said.....Oso played 4 min in the 2nd half.
Sorry if this was posted already but I'm just catching up on here.
How was Sanogo not kicked out? He just sucker punched Kam and then the bench swarmed him.
