1. MCullar talked and ticked off Shaka. Shaka said STFU at some point. Self was unimpressed, saying Unbelievable. I think there is history there.
2. The sophomores are dudes.
3. I shake my head in disbelief at anyone still saying Oso isn't going to play in the NBA. Watching him outplay Hunter Dick was glorious.
4. Speed kills. And skunks.
5. Stevie reminded everybody he is still here and why Shaka loves him.
6. What will it look like when MU starts raining 3's? Can't wait.
7. Kansas is a great team and a proud program. No quit in them. Perhaps an inflated sense of Self.
8. MU beat Kansas with defense and rebounding. Say that a few times in your head. Smile.
9. A.complete game by the entire team.
10. A rematch with Purdue. Finish the job.
Self quit, what an ass

Self quit, what an ass
If this was a 10 round boxing fight, it was a TKO after 9 rounds. Ass kicking
It will be the most enjoyable sleepwalking at work tomorrow
If Kolek, Kam and Oso leave for the NBA next year this is still a top 20 team next year. Sean, Stevie, Chase just play with so much intensity.

What do the Maui Finals and Mother Theresa have in common? They're both Selfless
I've been a diehard since 1989. I might be alone in this opinion, but Oso might be my 2nd favorite player ever at Marquette.

No. Even a few grudging acknowledgments of Stevie's contributions.
I did not think you could do better than #7 tonight, Tower.
Then you hit me with #8!
It's no wonder I stay up past 1:00 AM for the Tower 10.
Nice recap Tower. You hit on everything. Great win. Let's get PU back tomorrow and be number 1 in the country.
Shaka has now beaten Self and Kansas when they were ranked in the top 3 three times at three different schools. He took them down in the E8 with VCU when they were ranked #2. He beat them with Texas whey were ranked #3 and he whupped them tonight with our Warriors when they were ranked #1.
Awesome, baby!
My favorite part about this game quickly turning into Oso making Hunter his bi tch.
Very early on when Oso tried to go up and under and Dickinson swatted him, Hunter did as he does and talked a bunch of sh it almost offended Oso would even try it.
LOL
Boxscore for tonights game. We out rebounded them.

1- tower your recaps are amazing, keep them up
2- Kansas, best team in the country with the coach that just got a lifetime contract and burger boys all over the court....
Just got taken to the woodshed wire to wire by the real best team in America.

How about just rebounding the basketball and not giving them a ton of chances?

100% PGs. Love how Dickenson got run out of the gym. Love how Williams and Greenburg called him out at the half. F him. Thing of beauty by Oso tonight.
I could see on Shaka's face that he wasn't satisfied at all. Let's finish the trifecta tomorrow.

Flashback to Diener running back up court, hands up in the three point signal, before Novak's shot was halfway to the basket.
11. Where is NLW? He must be one miserable SOB in real life.
This isn't meant to sound like a humblebrag, but I was watching the game on my phone this afternoon in Australia by the pool, and fist pumping a lot. Waiter guy walked by a few times, asked me what I was watching, I generically nicely said "a basketball game", knowing he wouldn't know what American college basketball is. He goes, "oh, New Caledonia verse Papua New Guinea qualifier?".

I didn't expect us to thoroughly fluster Kansas for the entire game. They simply had no answers. We pretty much got anything we wanted and controlled tempo from the opening tip. We frankly dominated the speed and toughness categories.
As said elsewhere, we gotta stop treating this kinda thing as a surprise.
We were a top-5 team before the season even started. Other teams have to deal with Marquette.

We dominated in every facet. They were overmatched. Your eyes saw it and we both know it

Heck, the coach of the team we just beat called us the best team in college basketball early off season before we lost Omax
Early in the game...Tyler reloaded to Stevie.
That's culture.
That's why we're gonna won A LOT.
Kansas is a really good team. Marquette's defense simply took them completely out of what KU wanted to do pretty much the entire game.
The Lens
That reload 100% is what this team and program is all about. I thought that spoke volumes about the program.
My favorite part of the game was the 94' with Dickinson (that my wife said his name syllable by syllable...slowly) where he had this back and forth with Bilas
JB "When Self is getting down on you what does he say?"
HD "Don't be so soft down there"
Was unable to watch the game because I was in surgery, trying to remove an over inflated ego from a Kansas fan....surgery was unsuccessful...
In any event here's what I saw that I absolutely loved!!! Tower's point #2?
"After the game, Smart spoke on the incident: "The one thing I'm going to make clear is: we don't take a backseat to anyone. That's how we go about things and that's the only way you beat Kansas."
Such a great win and such a power move and quote from Shaka!!! Self has to realize Shaka no longer coaches a side of beef!!!

When I saw the Strotman tweet of Shaka's STFU....three words immediately came gloriously, and historically, to mind:
SURLY. OBNOXIOUS. ARROGANT.

Supposedly, according to the Kansas Board, Self told Shaka right before that "Remember who you are talking to"...then the "unbelievable" after Shaka's response.
Apparently Shaka and MU decided to Show them who they are dealing with.
Wiped the floor with them.
Someone, maybe Shaka, should put this on a t-shirt...."Remember who you are talking to".

Kolek is rubbing off on Shaka?
Congrats on the awesome win. The way Marquette dictated pace and forced Kansas to play desperate most of the game was really impressive.

Not sure what happened to my comment - user error no doubt.
The best part of Stevie's reload was Oso's reaction. He wanted it more than Stevie. That hammered home the culture to me.

You see Oso's fist pump and smile right after he made it as well? Playing for each other. It's not just a schtick.

Oso pumping his fist was the picture of the night to me and there were a lot of them. That flat out exemplified the definition of team.

100%. It was a great snapshot into Shaka's interview about Oso postgame. Looked right at Stevie, fist pumped and yelled right at him. Both happy for him and encouraging his confidence. Willing to do the dirty work to get Stevie another shot despite his struggles.
As a bonus, listening to Shulman and Bilas was a pleasure.
Bilas did screw up once, when he was lobbying for Kam to get called for a flagrant; apparently, he didn't see that the KU player actually hooked Kam first and that's how Kam's arm got in there. Thankfully, that's what the refs saw on the replay. But otherwise, Bilas did a fine job IMHO.
And both of them showed a ton of respect for Marquette and Shaka, too. As they should.
