LFGGGGGGG!!!!!!
How's everybody feeling??
How's the crowd?????
Here's hoping both teams play hard and have fun out there this evening. The competition and physical activity will benefit making these young men stronger for the future.
Heard Gold may start.

What?? Is someone out?
Benny saw it on a tv in the arena.
Hopefully this garbage game being televised before us ends immediately.
I'll probably watch during commercials from WM Phoenix Open.
No Gold here
Its the normal 5
The last 90 seconds of this game before us are going to take 20 minutes

UGHHH. Awful and totally inexcusable.
Please, no GD OT!
We're gonna miss the first 4 minutes of our game ffs
They better put us on FS2
No one wants to watch the trash can big 10
Quote from: mileskishnish72 on February 10, 2024, 05:09:17 PM
Please, no GD OT!
Why? Just why? Why in the world is this game even on?
FS2 it is
Yup its on Fs2
On FS2.
Let's go now!!
Nice little spin and drop step from Jop. Gotta rebound.
Track shoes on a basketball court would be disastrous
Finally MU gets a 3 second late foul call
Looking like they might let em play today
Waited about 5 seconds late to call a foul on that Oso drive.
Ugh, can't hit FTs already
Damn Oso. Look at the rim. Attack!!
Game over. Hope we get a 7-seed but I doubt it. Thank god I'm high
Now they can't miss. What's Brian Wardle doing
Gotta rebound.
Great gold gunna be chuckin now
This Lewis guy is annoying
Gonna have to grab the ball.
Of course Luis is the guy who goes off against us. SJU fans claims hes got 1 foot out the door thats how much of a disaster hes been
Kolek stinks
Oso gets the Malachi crunch and no call
This is brutal
Terrible forced passing
Ughhh. Gotta be more disciplined and stronger defensively.
Need to up the physicality. No fouls being called today. Clear push off on their last dunk.
I don't think we'll win another game
Luis with 5 steps on his 360 spin move
Going right to the rim challenging OSO
This sucks
This is embarrassing.
Full slop. Oso looks bad. Scared to grab the ball.
Getting outplayed. Need to punch back right now.
Looks like the badgers
Going to be a long day if SJ gets 2 o 3 shots every time downcourt.
They've packed the paint time to react
Done
Wow, did you see the StJ guy hold Stevie down when he was on the floor?
The colors in the stands look good. The band sounds crisp
Chill on the overhelping and Jfc stop leaving the corners open
Now they wont miss
And we are trying to counter with fu cking Norman shooting.
They can start cooling off from 3 any time now
Of course MU could start acting like they are playing defense too
They score 3 every single time we score 2.
Zero life
Outhustled, outmuscled, and outshot.
Getting smoked right now. They're scoring at will. Over-helping and not stoping the ball.
How about Jop's drives? Never thought I'd see it. Good on him.
We look like we haven't played in 3 weeks
This is brutal. Need Kam and Tyler to impose their will
Get it to 6 at the half.

It's been a while since MU looked so much less athletic than their opponent
Get a freaking rebound!!
The overhelping has got to stop. Leading to open shooters and poor rebounding positioning
Todd Smith looks a little embarrassed with how MU is getting pushed around
Quote from: NickelDimer on February 10, 2024, 05:42:57 PM

Exactly.
Jop!!! Let's go now!
Oso with two straight WTF possessions
the more they get down, the stupider pass they try to throw...
12 second chance points. 12 point deficit
Wow Tyko. WTF??? Our two best players are not playing intelligently. At all.
MU is panicking and forcing things that aren't there.
Quote from: wisblue on February 10, 2024, 05:47:55 PM

Yes. Why Panic??, Smh.
This is more frustrating than the Butler game
The worst part of this is the putz is bound to show up here any minute now
Inexcusable.
The 2nd half will be the good half...I hope
We can withstand a 3 point barrage. Marquettes defensive rebounding is more concerning if they want to go on an extended run and win this
Better T him up!
There's how to solve the rebounding problem. Let two StJ guys fight over the offensive rebound and knock it out of bounds
Tech on Soriano?
This half is an example of why we don't advance far in March...rebounding!
Horrible
Not ready to play at all

It's killed us this half. Gotta play with far more force and tenacity.
Gtfo ref
Don't understand that call.
Oh, Mitchell gets a tech for breaking it up. Got it
MU not physical enough
That's a cop-out by the refs.
Two terrible misses. FOCUS!!!
17...
17 points off of o rebs.
Oso got pushed under the basket on that one
Big shot. But man we have to rebound.
Allowing17 second chance points in one half is really bad.
I hope the real Marquette team shows up for National Marquette Day
No defense
NO REBOUNDS... getting killed on offensive glass. 17 second chance points by SJ !
I continue to wonder why Shaka does not care about rebounding.
Going to be a nice win when it is all said and done
Shooting 51% and down by 9 at home.
Brutal.
Oso has got to step it up
Rebounds.
SJ 23 and 12 offensive
MU 12 and 2 offensive
17 points off second hand offensive rebounds. Almost impossible, but so is MU 12 total. Least can't blame refs...
maybe Tyler needed that to wake up a lil
Need some BE bodies on the roster. Would they notice if Crowder suited up?
Can anyone explain the technicals to me?
Stevie with the tech - not a 4.0 move.
They're crashing the boards while stand and watch
Bad passes. Announcers said STJ focusing on shooting more threes so we have to guard line a bit better....but they did hit a couple tough ones.
Dust up good thing.
Need pressure and steals! Must win game. They all are now.
22-11 on the boards is brutal. We all knew this weak spot would cause a problem somewhere.
Quote from: jesmu84 on February 10, 2024, 06:04:12 PM

Refs: National F Marquette Day.
make adjustments and win
Do you think MU needs at least 2 games a week to stay fresh? Stale first half for sure. Hoping on second half.
St. J with 5 turns and I only think 2 were live ball. We're over-helping it seems to me and getting burned off the bounce. Gotta find a way to defend and rebound even though they hit a few tough ones.

We're usually very good to start the second half. Expecting a strong first 4 mins.

Yes. And it's vitally important.
Is that legal with the inflatables?
Oso not looking very sharp
TK really forcing passes today.
Ha, 4D chess move by Oso to fumble the ball and make StJ waste a TO
Good grief. No need to try to be spectacular with the pocket pass. Relax, move the freaking ball, and take quality shots.
More bad passes by kolek
Do you think SJ has sped the game up and we're not handling it?
Quote from: mugrad_89 on February 10, 2024, 06:19:20 PM
He needs to regain his focus.
Yes. 100% accurate. Must be far more engaged and play with force and intelligence.

No. I think we're playing undisciplined hoops on both ends of the floor.
Lfg TK
Hey look the game started
LFG!!! Big hoops from Tyko.
Let's goo Tyler
kolek'ing em
They're doing a good job pulling Oso away from the basket which isn't helping us rebound.
Now settle down and play your game instead of forcing things.
And for Gods sake start rebounding.
When they do miss a 3 it is usually a bad miss that ricochets. MU hasn't gotten any of those
Let's goooooo
Ughhh. Catch the ball Jop!!!
Beautiful give and go
Kolek is insane.
KOLEK WAS GIVEN A FOUL. THIS IS NOT A DRILL
Missed box out by Oso. He's just not dialed in
It's time to get some stops/rebs as well as Kam and Oso involved..
Gold with 25% of the contact on every StJ defensive possession and called for the foul. Yep that follows
Omg what a dime!
Get a fin rebound!!
Unbelievable pass!!!
For the third time, letting StJ fight over an offensive rebound leads to out of bounds to MU.
When will we ever get a home whistle?
Tyler is dialed in - just need Oso to join him there.
Kolek with another statement game. Very legit 25 pt trip double watch
Please F ING REBOUND!!!
This is where I'm at re our rebounding.

Wow....no foul???,
Sure, that wasn't a foul but Gold's was

Wiw....no foul???,
I think the St John player went straight up.
Good fking grief. The 3's they've hit are driving me crazy.
Golds playing well
How about TKO shoots every damn time?
And JOP never dribbles!?

Nice!! Let's go!!!
I love the Bronx cheers on every StJ foul
Oso!! Finally.
Oso was fouled also.
What constitutes a foul in this game is truly bizarre.
Quote from: mugrad_89 on February 10, 2024, 06:42:43 PM

I've counted at least 3 like that. But we must clean the glass.
How's that off us? What's with these refs?
Stop biting on the shot fake.
StJ's hitting lights out, getting all the calls, getting all the rebounds...we're up...good sign.
Gold held his spot!
We are literally standing around on their misses. 😳
The long rebs are killing us. Box out.
How are these guys .500 in the Big East?
Kam needs to score the ball a bit down the stretch.
Stevie!!
Why is Jop doubling there?
Oso got his moneys worth on that foul.

I hope this doesn't come down to MU having to make FTs.
Tough shot by Jenkins.
LFG!!!!!
MU has been ridiculous this half.
Bingo !!!
Easy peasy

DAGGER!!!!!
I've never been more certain a shot was going in than that 3 with We Are Marquette ringing through the arena
Love this f'n team
What a 2nd half with Tyko carving dudes up!!!
Kolek in the Nova game was absurd, this may have been even better. He single handedly flipped the game and drained the energy out of an out of their mind SJ team when the rest of the team was struggling to find answers. What a special player

St. John's wasn't going to keep making 3's at the clip they were. Only concern was TyKo and Oso fumbling around. When TyKo made that 3 before half, ball game

No, he took over the 2nd half. He was sloppy to start the game but showed why he's the best PG in America
Still kind of scratching my head how we won that game. TK's second half performance just can't have happened, It's not possible. (With help from many others.)
It is no 40 in a half, but it was pretty darn impressive.
St. John's wasn't shooting out of their minds as much as it seemed because of all the second chance points. I was a lot more upset in the first half about the offensive rebounds and MU's careless ball handling than SJ's shooting.
When the third shot of a possession is a made three you forget about some of the misses.
MU's 14 for 27 on 3's might be called shooting out of their minds

Very good but not really out of their minds considering the shots they were getting.
What were they on 3's in the first half? Maybe 50%?
What was MU in the second half?
ETA. I checked my recording of the game and saw the first half stats.
SJ was 8/18 on 3's and 19/40 overall. MU was 6/12 on 3's and 14/27 overall.
So the issue was simply SJ getting more shots, not that they shot better.
MU was 8/15 on 3's in the second half. Throw in that they made the last 2 they tried at the end of the first half and they made 10 of their last 17. That's out of their mind shooting for a team that usually doesn't rely heavily on 3's.

It probably didn't help that the ones they missed, they got their own rebound often.

Yes the issue was they got way too many possessions in first half, beating MU in rebounds almost 2:1, got it to almost even by the end of the game.
NMD issue that Marquette could do nothing about. At my game watch party the putrid Maryland vs Ohio State game went into double overtime delaying the FS1 broadcast of Marquette / St. John's. They could not find FS2 in their system, so we had to wait until someone mercerily finally won a boring game.
My Fox Sports App was having issues playing the game for some reason.
I missed the rough start so maybe it was blessing.

I am far from being a techie but had no problem getting the game on the app. Of course, the app defaulted to the game on TV, but I was quickly able to find the MU/SJ game. Maybe someone here can help figure out why you had trouble and can prevent it from happening again.
Games preceding ours too often go beyond tip-off. I wish Fox would stop scheduling games so tightly! If they scheduled games 2:15 apart, there would obviously be fewer cases of overlap, but double OT would still cause delays for the next game. I think Fox would welcome the opportunity to sell more ads with increased spacing between games. Calling on Mr. Neilson to offer his professionally based comments.
Dead time between games allows people to find another game.

Didn't think of that, but yeah...true. But doesn't the same dead time at the end of a game that is no longer competitive do the same?
Fox hosts are good and I think hold the attention of some viewers who may otherwise switch channels.

Honestly, I feel the stripe outs have been better when not on the seats. Although, that might coincide with the team being better so people are more excited to participate in that.

Even though the games are "scheduled" 2 hours apart, the actual start times are actually closer to 2:15 apart.
I think yesterday's game started after 5:10.
When Fox has games scheduled at 6:00 and 8:00 I learned as someone who attends almost every home game that the 6:00 games start almost at 6 on the dot and the 8:00 games start closer to 8:15.
Yesterday we were there early and the countdown clock on the scoreboard had the time to "tip off" set to hit zero at 5 PM. But in their language, tip off means the horn sounds and the teams head to their benches. Then they have the hype videos, the starting lineup introductions, the national anthem (yesterday they had a different singer do a different song before the anthem) then the teams go back to their benches and wait for the referees to call them to center court and they hold the ball until the TV producer tells them they're ready to go. The whole process takes the better part of 15 minutes.
