Quite a different atmosphere than the games last week.
Maybe 4-5000 people here and they're piping in the crowd noise.

Finals?
Here's hoping both teams play hard and have fun tonight. Win or lose, the education these young men are receiving far outweighs the results of an athletic competition
2-2 early? Are they focused?
Kolek on pace for 40 assists
Chase still reaching in. No cheap fouls
Now a foul on Chase Rosen. Concerning

No need for it at all.
Where's the defense?
Joplin with the hustle diving for the tie up
Let's keep the D strong and attacking attack attack.... Let's put this one away early. Can't take anything for granted.... as we saw yesterday. Go Marquette!
St Thomas has some skill and fundamentals
But zero size. Not sure how they get many stops outside us missing 3s.
Not complaining about a solid hustle play but that's a steal in any other guard is standing there. Jop is just a step slower. Great start though. Hope he hits 5 3's tonight
Ben Steele tweet: Kendall Blue of St. Thomas had a scholarship offer from Wojo. Alrighty then
Yeah gonna be a long night for the tommies unless they start jackin some 3s at a high clip.

Exactly. Give Oso the rock & run the lethal two man game with TyKo.

And he chose st Thomas!?
What did I miss on Gold's drive that was called a foul?
U G L Y
Have to get those loose balls. Bad FGA by JTY.
St. Thomas outhustling and outplaying Marquette. 40 minute game
Oso has got to be ready for the damn slip pass so often this year hes not.
And Sean needs to be instantly benched anytime he takes a out of rhythm 3 early in the clock.
I didn't see a travel by Jop there.
Hard to tell whose 3 was worse, Sean's or Ben's.
Not a good 4 min stretch.
Cold 3pt shooting on the MU end ... super
Tyler gonna have to hunt playing with the work in progress group.
Getting dominated ever since we went to SJ and Gold
St. Thomas has the lead. Disaster
Ugh wtf
DOOM
Especially when they look like a rec league team
Quote from: Uncle Rico on December 14, 2023, 07:16:41 PM
St. Thomas has the lead. Disaster
Ok.... Enough of this. Time to lock it down. Fortunately Satis missing most of their 3s or we'd be working a lot more.....lol. Go Marquette. It's our time now.....
It sure is nice to see kolek do that and yell at his teammates like "take these shrimp to the rack! what are we doing here?"
Tommies fans making more noise than MU fans.
They only have one turn and are a pretty good defensive team.
I picked St. Thomas to win in the pre-season picks. Feel good about it

Pretty good defensive team against our bench which simply cannot play together in bulk
SJ and Gold looked like the players that just came from D3
Lot of traditionals playing for St. Thomas. Look like gym rats.
We should allow nothing but shot clock violations against a squad like this.
Definitely more of that. Get Oso the rock and attack.
Catch the fking ball!!
WTF!! Lazy. Wake the F up,!
Kolek is about 1 minute from taking a life
And that life will be someone wearing a white jersey not purple.
Chase.
Hes so much better then the rest of the bench right now. And thats why he can seamlessly be a starter when Stevie needs to heal
That's what we should be doing in the h-c. All day.
Chase playing well, but after the slam he is pumping his muscles for show and not getting back on D. Shaka should pull him right now and have a talk.
If they could make some 3's, we'd begetting our arse kicked right now.

That just means Sean taking another ill advised 3.
Id rather Chase just flex
Shaka to the bench....
I believe this is the first appearance of the jumbo package this year.
Kam not getting a lot of 3 pt attempts these days.
Ben has to protect the rim better.
I swear Kam's playing in this game, but I'm not quite sure
Ben is challenged on the defensive end.

I felt personally responsible for that 3
I'd rather be waterboarded than watch Jop drive
Benny hitting some 3s.
Their 11 is a poor man's our 11
Is there a way that Ben can only play offense?
I am not entirely sure if he can guard me. And I havent driven the rim in a pick up game in 20 years.

It really does feel like anyone can just walk past him to the rim
Need to see the replay on that block. May not have been a goaltend
We are playing to get open shots and hitting some but we should own under the basket on offense. Oso keeps missing passes under there. Hmmm. Wonder what's up with that

Beaten four times for layups. Even Lovell Jordan said he's getting burned. Ben may be worst defender in Big East. Good to see him hit those threes though.
Quote from: DJO's Jaw on December 14, 2023, 07:37:31 PM

The can get him on their side easily. But I am just amazed he doesn't seat some down
Anyone got eyes and ears on Mugsy??
The shaky half might have ruined the lil guy
This is the good Sj.
Driving for lay ins and fouls

I'm fine.
Let's go now! Finish the half strong.
Smh. Why bite on that shot fake???
Our 11 is better than your 11
Terrible half of basketball.
Ok just double the score and call it a day . Lol
As far as Ben defensively there is zero excuse to get burned three times at the rim as a help defender and seeing the action in front or you. Move your ass and protect the hoop.
Have to give it to St. Thomas; they're playing a lot better than Notre Dame so far.

We were one of his first offers and it was the first summer of COVID when offers were kind of crazy. Reminds me of how James Graham was suddenly a high major recruit because of videos he sent to coaches when they couldn't go watch anyone.

Disagree strongly. If Izzo says it, we have to believe it. It's why players go play for him

Nope need the walk ons to help with the under
Just a brutal effort today.
St. Thomas abusing Marquette to start the half
Kam burned twice. FOCUS.
We will blow them away this half ..... if we don't run up fouls and out them in the bonus. 2 fouls already
Damn. Cmon Chase.
ETA until Jones chucks up a contested 3?

I know. I threw my Olympia beer can at my Warriors pennant
Our defense is terrible tonight. We should be ahead by 20 right now. Giving them easy baskets
Our D hasn't been particularly good this half. Lots of ball watching in lieu of solid help defending.

For as well as we have played D this year so far, this effort is not up there. Shaka called them out in that in first half. Let's Gooo Marquette!
St Thomas 10-15 on 2 pointers.......abysmal
I was so wrong to expect a flat performance tonight. ::)

Definitely lacking focus on that end.
We arn't a title contender without stevie
I swear to god I think Jop moves backwards when he drives
Thankfully he got fouled there.
Now we can't make FTs
Tommies putting up a fight
For fu cks sake Jop.
Sweet Jesus Jop!
Major upset alert.
This is pathetic
Need a time out.
Game. Over.
Oh boy, luck loose ball 3 is a bad sign
At Thomas has a better team

What are you smoking?
How was that not a shooting foul on TyKo?
Brick city by Gold.
Jop driving.
Sean putting up 3's.
Ben defending.
Root canal.
ST is moving the ball much better than us. Really need the crank up the D and get the ball in the paint!
15-0 run incoming. We'll win big, probably not cover. And forget about this in 2 days
Wow
PATHETIC. I don't see any evidence that they care - sheez
Absolutely sleepwalking through this game so far
Pull the scholarships and make Willie coach
Wisely keeping the walk-ons legs fresh for providence
Only way we win is for Kolek to take over
Has Oso had a shot in the 2nd half?
For us, no one else shoots a there but Tyler, Jop and Kam. Period. Then drive the the hoop and make them foul you. It's there all game. Go Marquette!
That swing after the JTY flush can't happen. The Jop bunny miss flipped momentum.
Wouldn't be at all surprised if St. Thomas wins the Summit. This is a good basketball team. We're basically playing a #2/#15 first round game tonight.
I really can believe this game resulted in my dog having to leave the room due to my profanity.
Jop missing two drives in a row -6 and they begin a run

Our D is a bigger problem right now. Our guys up tip aren't stopping the ball or getting around screens.
Brick city by Gold
Tommies bench mocked TK a bit and hes not happy
Gonna need Ben to stop launching bricks though
Should have taken the +25 points. Not good, but ST hitting threes, open but few bombs. MU too many stupid fouls also.
MU should go four out, throw ball to Oso and let him do his thing. ST can't stop him. Stop jacking threes, not falling.
Kam, Oso and Tk are not taking over.
Kolek has had as many questionable plays as good plays tonight
TyKo needs to find his poise. He's getting frustrated with the no calls at the rim.
Hack a Oso in play

Mad Tyler is more good than bad. Just like any Tyler
Need to get in their face and get a string of turnovers on them, Then create a great shot in our end. Too out of sync tonight
Long runtime for Gold. Scoop in shambles
Good drive there by Chase. Knock them down.
Dumb dumb dumb reach
DUMB foul!
WTF? Why on earth would you reach there Jop,?
Joplin with a boneheaded reach in
Hack an Iggy down the stretch
Focus Oso.
F1?
That was a bit of a gift. Take advantage.
Ross brick city
Hack an Iggy every time
I keep saying it and I keep saying im losing hope if it happens
But my god our role guys have got to hit their wide open 3s. I think even guys on Maryland could hit some of the wide open ones we generate.
6pt swing after Ross missed the wide open one in the corner. FOCUS!!
Another great defensive possession with Gold on the floor
Gor the time-out but how many times do we simply NOT CATCH THE BALL? Drives me nuts.
My goodness.
Gonna pull a Muggs here after Gold misses a wide open DUNK
FOCUS
I swear Gold blocked that 3 that went in
How many GD 3s are they gonna give up ???
Good god
Ross brick city
Hack an Iggy every time
Do we have a flagrant on Oso?
You have got to be shittttring me??
Wow. Need to settle down and win this one.
Absolutely no excuse for this fiasco. What was the spread?
Just gross
Why can Shaka not convince them to
STOP GIVING UP THREES!?!?!???
Could be a 1 point game soon.

What another absolutely moronic play by one of our players. On an in bounds pass. Cannot happen. EVER under those circumstances.
Terrible.
This is on Shaka
They are going to lose. They deserve to
Chucking but making
Big trouble.
So damn predictable that they were gonna make both free throws and a 3

Another HORRIBLE play by JOLP
But by 4 with the ball and David Joplin drives slo motion into 3 guys
Absolutely pathetic.
If the hackadoro doesn't bite us tonight, it will later.
Jeez, they can't miss or we foul.
ST has taken 31 threes and has 15 turnovers, yet down two. Unreal
Better pull this out or could be one of worst losses in MU history.
Ok.......Kolek free throws should avoid history. Good grief

Give St. Thomas credit, shot the 3 ball and played harder then MU!
They can a 3 every single time you think its over
How on Fking Earth do you allow a catch and shoot there? Totally inexcusable.

I'm not at all bothered by this game. St. Thomas may make the tournament. We weren't awful but not great. Excellent prep for March. UST is better than DePaul, Georgetown, Notre Dame and Creighton (when playing the Mountain West)

Let's trade Duh Paul for St Thomas right now
Never a doubt
MU should use their one automatic rejection to prevent St.T from being allowed in the Big East so we don't have to play the Badgers three times a season
Whew.

not so sure UST is an ncaa tournament team. UST lost to UWGreen Bay by 13. But, if playing with indifference, UST can be a problem. Odd vibe to MU tnite.
