LFG!!!!!!!
Attack for 40 minutes.
Hope both teams play hard and have fun tonight. Truly an incredible opportunity for these young men to play on the same court as Giannis.
Sinned, bets placed. High & drunk out of my mind, ready for game!
LFG!!
Yay - our good luck announcers - Bennetti and Raftery - on the call. LFG!
Stevie goes for 16 tonight!!!
Focus Jop.
Carter looked like he was huffing already!
Pretty baked
Monster Stevie
Good start, fellas.
Good energy early. Oso needs to just let that go.
Osa isn't ready for the NBa
Stevie came to play, but that's nothing new.
Amazing start defensively.
Stevie huge on O
Rest of team a little off on O but thatll come. Keep killin it on D
Free throw defense looks good so far.
I'd like to see Kam go over that screen.
Let's go Stevie!
Blow them out of the water
Damn....
Somebody track down everything Stevie has eaten and done today, so he can repeat it every game day for the rest of the year
Stevie is playing with tremendous confidence! LFG!!
My Stevie going for 16,is going to be in the first half!!!
Bury these b@stards.

So far he has eaten Carter alive
Mitchell cannot shoot at all
Stevie heat check
Stevie and Chase.
The role guys making plays
Man....I thought Jop had that.
Continue to smother them.
Jop cmon!!
We are absolutely suffocating Carter and hes forcing
The ref pushed Kolek into the 3 ptr
Well, thanks ref for completely ignoring the blood
Whoa. Elbow?
I am loving this. Prov is the most despicable team in the BE.

Seton Hall would like a word
What was Oso doing?
Great. Osa out for the rest of the half.
Gold pretty active!
Kam Unstoppable
They can't miss now
Who is that #4 on offense?
You can't stop Stevie! You can only hope to contain him!!
Block of Gold.
Benny's D has been awesome
Awesome start. Lots of game left.
Gold is doing everything well except shooting.
(I've never typed that before)
Keep up tbe intensity. Did anyone see what exactly happened to Tyko?
He caught an elbow while guarding the post. A pass was thrown and the big missed and turned and caught TKo.
Put
Nthe pedl to, the medal - crush them.
Did Oso just say the same thing as Shaka, 20 seconds before Shaka said it?

Come on Tower, he is getting wide open looks. Now 1 for last 10 from three.
Must be nerves from NBA scouts in attendance or his shin splints😎

3 blocks. You are watching the wrong thing.
Huh. Look at Ben on defense
This team is so F'ing good
Not gonna lie, this is fun.
Sucks Hopkins is still out, wasnt much of a factor that first game but it would have been nice to stick it to Prov full strength
I dont even blame Benny on the last 3 miss.
Jop threw a rocket that was not in the pocket and it was out of rhytmn. D has been crazy good.
Ticket Gaines randomly having the game of his life
Tre!!!!
Norman!!!

Side note, Kam keeps this up and his stock going to rise big time.
Quote from: Uncle Rico on February 28, 2024, 06:37:42 PM
Huh. Look at Ben on defense
Gold is playing absurdly good defense. Nice dish to Tre.
A couple of reach-in fouls, and an asinine FT camera angle, are my only gripes. But we need to finish the half strong and continue to attack.
"Looks like 7 versus 5 out there"
Benetti
Tre getting better every game!!
Quote from: tower912 on February 28, 2024, 06:42:07 PM

Yes this is the best I've ever seen him on that end.
In the last month I've become much more comfortable that we are in good hands after Oso.
He looks comfortable driving too, needs more pump fake and go in his game
Ben has been Gold this half
Was that last foul on Tre or Tyko?
Oduro gets away with a lot of bshiiite.
Wow Ben.
What is English complaining about?
Attack the rack to close the half.
He's complaining because he's getting his ass kicked
Jim McIlvaine - 13 blocks in one game. I assume everyone else was wondering how many more blocks Ben Gold needs
Oh....bshiit. Prov fouling every possession.
Brick!
Thatta boy Benny.
Nice arc on that Trey Benny!
Tough night for this team will be terrible next year crowd
That was their 7th team foul according to the scoreboard. Should have been 1 and 1 after the tech.

TK being a bit of a maniac with the ball
Tre!!!
TRE
I'm baffled every time a ref falls for the head jerk. Of course, they just shake their head when the player has Marquette on their chest.
That Brick guy looks pretty good.
Tre is growing up before our eyes.
Excellent first half.
I enjoyed the 1st half. Anyone else?
Point
The Brick guy is a future NBA player.

No. Ben missed 2 3's and Osa had 2 fouls and Stevie is out of control
No mercy
Confidence begets confidence. What a clinic on both ends. Well done BG
Quite a half.
Defense was really exceptional.

Trick question. Correct answer.
Lots to be disappointed about.
I heard multiple times this past fall that Shaka and staff think Tre can be the guy at PG and the leader of this team eventually, similar to Kolek. We are starting to see those flashes now. He can play.
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on February 28, 2024, 06:52:51 PM

It was extremely enjoyable. Especially the defensive intensity. But let's keep this up and absolutely bury this team. I don't like Oduro.
Not a bad first half. Let's keep the pressure on and make this a genuine blow out. Let's Gooo Marquette!

Probably but it was still a very solid half.
2 points from Oso. Up 24.
Nice.
Tied up all evening and finally get a chance to check the score. Doubled them up in the first half. Hell yes boys
Seth Greenberg just said Marquette could very well be the best 5 man passing team in the country
Very happy to see Tre playing well. Kid will improve a lot in the offseason.
I'm all in favor of a dull no drama second half now.

I was tied up at my local pub. They said well turn the game and I said no I'm too loud. Going to watch at home. So far so good, let's Gooo Marquette!
Keep the heels on their throats.
Jason Benetti seems like he would have had a bloody nose without ever being in a fight
The Margaritas are tasting better and better as the half went on
And they're right back in it
Great D, but grab the ball boys
Shaka just showed my usual annoyance at Jop drive
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on February 28, 2024, 07:12:08 PM

Hold on. Are you suggesting rebounding is part of defense.
Oduro gonna injure someone
Odoro has been shoving our guys all game.
F*ck Oduro.
Will be total weak sauce if it's a double T
Providence already going into cheap shot mode.
Bring in the walk ons to throat punch goon ass Oduru
Can't let up. Crush them now and always. Let's Gooo Marquette!
Well, we have a ref who's nickname is Double T so we all know the result of this play
Flagrant 1 for odor, but they'll give Oso a tech.
Expecting a T on Oso but it won't be remotely deserved.
Good healthy basketball??? Shut Up
Pile of sh*t.
Incredibly weak.
Oh go to hell. No world in which that's an F1 at MIN
Quote from: Fred Garvin on February 28, 2024, 07:17:34 PM
Good healthy basketball??? Shut Up
Bshiiite. Totally inexcusable call.
Even tho it was a weak push, Oso techinically, deserves a T
But it should be a F1 where we get free throws too and the ball.
So the fact only they get free throws and keep the ball is fu cking comical
Oh, so I heard "the Big East refs don't call fouls so it's understandable that nearly decapitating someone would not be a flagrant"
Kam gotta shoot that 3 right away. No need to pump fake.
Benny bangs another!

Bingo.
Now whistle mania
This is ridiculous that Providence is allowed to get away with this garbage.
Tough night for Dung Willie
This is infuriating.
Here come the f'ing refs
No explanation on tvfor the stoppage.
Tear Oduro's ACL
Oduro is a fking punk.
Unreal that wasn't reviewed.
Wow, Providence's thugs are making me stay more into this game than if it was a 5 pt game
Gotta fight through this bcraaaap. Stay focused and healthy.
Now they are just gonna blow a whistle on everything
These guys are pretty dirty. Hope we get out of this without any major injuries.
Too much time left for all these whistles. Let's keep the pressure on. Go Marquette!
lol at rafferty and Benneti rooting for Providence. Just cut it to 20 after 8 mins and rafferty says "testing Marquette early". And at 16 min mark up 20, Benneti says "this does not look like Providence team down 20"
Whatever.
Love how the physical fouls are a side out of bounds, but Prov is getting dangerously reckless.

I think it's more about keeping viewer interest.
That would be the easiest road the big east final I've ever seen if that bracket holds
Is Kolek strutting or limping?
Concerned about Tyko.
Yeah annoucners just want it to be interesting.

'Mini runs' there have been no runs
Tyler ate a Mazos burger at half. Bad choice.
Driscoll is THE worst
Ughhh. Grab the ball.
Okay for Prov to dive on a guy, but not Marquette

Give TKO the rest of the night off.
This half is a lot less enjoyable than the first.
Might be over by 8.30 at this rate.
Just hope nobody gets hurt.
"Abdominal issue" for kolek? What's this likely mean. Took a shot to his side? Tore his abs?

Stevie mysteriously tripped himself again.
Catch the ball Jop!
Prov guy goes under and takes out a Marquette guy.
When looking at Carters push shooting form
I think his 3 pt% this year is the bigger fluke than last years
Jop has got to fu cking stop driving like a maniac. Hes lost two balls off his feet. thrown up a wild shot. Wild pass. And a charge.
At least a MU player finally got their money's worth on a foul
Catch and shoot 3s much better for Jop
Oso doesn't need to go coast to coast vs 3 guys.
Would like to see us stick with good habits even up 20. Getting mugged, play smart
Abdominal issues. Diarrhea.

A couple of sloppy plays. Know time and score. And Rafftery might want to look at pictures of Norman and Lowery. Maintain focus, slam the fking door, and stay healthy against these freaking thugs.

That's broken ribs
This has been a freaking defensive clinic.
This is an even bigger boat racing when you consider we have had our key guys sit with injuries, foul trouble and standard rest all game.
Im not sure if Oduru or Carter have sat a second all game. Gaines barely sat even in foul trouble
I know I can overreact but Benneti and Raff have really pissed me off today.
Thatta boy Chase.
Marquette tweeted it's an oblique.

Trying to fill air time during blowouts can be challenging. They've been fine.
He'd be back on the bench if it were ribs. It's stomach flu.
Carter has the ugliest shot that consistently goes in since the guy who used to look like he was taking a dump at the beginning of his shot.

With all due respect, I disagree. Benetti is great and Raff is a legend, but that doesn't mean they can't have a bad night. In addition to being ridiculous about the Odoro punk ass screen on Stevie, Raftery mistakenly stated Zaide was great in the first half when it was Tre. Also, they both used absurd Australian terminology trying to be cute with Ben's stellar play. The young man is from New Zealand.
