Sorry Muggs, early bird gets the worm.
Let's shake out the COLE - Tyler or no Tyler this is absolutely a game we can win. We have one of the most dynamic 5s in the game, a couple of guys who can get hot from three, some stalwart defenders and some high-energy bench players.
WE ARE MARQUETTE!
The game thread doesn't truly begin until Willie is here.
Here's hoping both teams play hard and have fun out there. What an opportunity to represent their universities, family and communities on the national stage.

I'm afraid my expectations for him have become unrealistic. Let's hope he can reach new heights today.
Was the site down?? LFG!!!!!
Let's see who steps up with Kolek out. There's an opportunity for someone to seize the moment. I'm still hopeful MU can make this a competitive game.

Darkness indeed was delivered
Have a good feeling about today. Think the entire team will be very locked in and we'll see a spirited effort on the defensive end. Think Oso will be regarded as a lock to go into the lottery after today. Big opportunity to showcase his playmaking ability and I think he gets it done.

You're doing it wrong. You don't say this part out loud.
Sinned, hopefully Cam, Jolp & dung don't disappoint.
One positive already is that Tim Brando won't be on the call.
It's gonna be tough if Tyler is out, but for some reason, I'm feeling pretty calm about this game.

This has turned into the ultimate house money game.
Congratulations to everybody who got their bets on Creighton down yesterday when the point spread was at 3.
How bad of a sign is it that Tyler didn't even travel with the team?
This game should be a total 'nothing burger' to the Selection Committee, correct?

We are going to have to fire up every open 3 we have and hope it's one of those games where everything goes in. Because we're not going to score much inside.

There is little doubt Amadou plays today.
Let's make it messy, get in some grills, play good transition D, keep it within a couple buckets, pull it out in the end. Lots of guys are going to give maximum effort, will the talent be good enough. I'm bummed but still hopeful!

He's limping already. Oy vey.
Hey, Brewcity77, the lineup has played together now.
Gold just doesn't shoot it with confidence
Jop's found a nice wrinkle with the paint fadeaways.
GOOD BATTLE.
Kam looks hurt too, but love the fight!

Sometimes the whadya gotta lose attitude works wonders. Keep getting after it, stop that 55 guy
Nice start - just need to be aware of where Scheyerman is.
Hanging tough. Scheierman open is deadly at this point. Don't like Joplin on him
Decent start. Find Sheirmann. Get Ross more open looks. Ben has to stay out of foul trouble and it's important for Tre abd Zaide to step up.
Nice take, Ben
Stay out of foul trouble. We won't get Creighton in foul trouble for sure.
Need to to hang tough. . A snapshot of starting team Nevet year. Stay tough MU!

That's a relief to hear.
Mistake by Norman there not hustling after the loose ball in the backcourt. Overall it's a good effort so far. Gotta hope Creighton cools off from three.
Threes are the difference, need BG
Creighton making their threes right now - gotta weather the storm.
Never fun when the opponent shoots 60% from 3
Playing really well, getting good looks. Won't win if Creighton shoots 55% for 3.
Crazy stretch there. Should have called a time-out to get Chase and Stevie beck in.
Shaka needed a timeout several possessions ago

Yup, could have easily grabbed that ball for the over and back, not sure what the hell he was thinking
Jop stepping up so far
That was a fun sequence, no whistles, just Ballin. Lots of missed open 3s though
The fact we still have more depth than Creighton today is pretty hilarious.

Yeah, but Creighton was gassed, too, could have easily swung the other way
Keep it close and come at them in the second half
Shaka too stubborn to call that TO earlier. Coaches were playing chicken. Guys were clearly gassed.
Freshmen with a couple mistakes. Other than that impressive fight. Ben will hit his next tree. Goo Marquette!

Having a rough time on D today though.
Everyone has to just keep shooting the ball.
Ben is 0-3 from deep. Tre and Zaide each 0-1. Can't pass up open looks today though.
Idc if Ben takes 12 3's. If he's open, he's gotta shoot baby!
Obviously love the fight in this squad but this is a completely different team without kolek and Oso. Not much flow on offense
They're hitting 3s hope it isn't ugly

They look just fine on offense. Getting all kinds of open shots.
Defense has been the issue. Limited bodies to attack the glass.

Awesome effort by the guys
Keep shooting and driving Kam! He's turned into a special player
This game is going to be great experience for the bench. Maybe it helps going into post season.
I don't love the pace. Thought we'd have to keep Creighton to about 65-70.

They've always been like this. Half of them are just there to drink and be seen.
Norman struggling. Play with confidence.
Cmon Tre, you got this!
Playing without fear or hesitation. Acceptable.
Creighton has 2 3s that were preceded by really bad moving screens.
Kalkbrenner guarding Norman tells you he isn't ready for this game and creighton doesn't think so either
Zaide!!! Big shot.
Just not guarding the three. Get a couple to fall, keep it close.
I'm no expert, but I'd guard the shooters.

We are hanging tough given what we have. Freshmen doing some good things. Need to get in their grills on 3s. Goo !Marquette!

Good thing MU has six walk-ons. They may need a couple today.
Zaide f ing Lowery
Tremendous D from ZL!!!
Hard A for the first half effort. This is a team that can make the second weekend of the NCAAs without a member of the big three.
What a half!!!!
Great 1st half!!
So fired up now. This is very cool to see this half.
Really f'n proud of these guys.
And Ben f ing Gold
Thatta Boy Benny!!! Play with fking force!!
Moral win already. Think we can do it?
Incredible close out of the half, outstanding. Zaide confidence growing before our eyes, let's see if Tre's can, too. Hope it's just a bloody nose.
This team has heart . Excellent first half .
Don't expect a win still, but damn good performance. Pretty shocking considering how well Creighton was shooting.
Fantastic drive by Ben to close the half.... Down only two with Kolek and Oso not playing. Great fight! Goo Marquette!
Incredible effort so far. Let's finish this thing!
Gold just bullies Kalkbrenner to close it out. What a half, what a team
Tremendous heart and toughness from MU!!!
Super proud, great half
BeeGee! Awesome drive
Gotta give this team a mountain of credit for playing like this with no tyko or oso
And keep attacking!!! They can't guard the dribble drive!
Awesome fight in these guys!
Heart of champions on display today. Fxxk the moral victory, get the W. Culture on full display today.

That drive and finish from Benny is exactly what I'd like to see him do on a regular basis moving forward. The young man has very good ball skills and a quick first step. If he adds a bit more weight and overall strength/power? Look the F out.

Could not agree more. How about Ben. If he can hit some 3s watch out and Lowry's defense what can one say.
That was one of the most remarkable halves this team has played all year. Creighton bombing away, lights out on Senior Day, missing their two best players...refused to back down or go away. Regardless of what happens the rest of the way, the game has already been a huge positive

Yes, throw it down there
I get the sense that Ross is a little too dunk-first in his mentality. Certainly love dunking as a big part of his game, but sometimes it looks like he's adjusting to a layup too late.
We really need someone to get the 3 ball going.
Earlier speculation that Kam had his foot stepped on. Seems to me he's playing through an ankle sprain.
Finally. That's it Ben.
We are getting looks, will we have the legs.
here comes their run unfortunately
Need a time out
Ouch. Both wide open. Need a time-out.
Kam at times looking like Isaiah Thomas in 88 Finals
Ben has got to make open 3s it's that simple.
This year. Next year.
You are wide open. Make the shot
WTH was that?????
Tre Norman has been brutal offensively. Wtf was that?
Been awhile since I've seen Shaka pull a guy immediately after a poor decision. Hopefully Tre gets back in and makes a difference
Rough day for Tre so far. Learning experience.
I am buzzing from the fight this team is showing.
A run like this was certain from Creighton.
We need a time-out. Poor execution last few possessions.
Seems like Kam is trying to do too much
Good fight but this was inevitable
Keep playing smart, keep up the effort as much as possible, keep your heads up
We needed it before that, a good few mins ago.
Well it was more fun than I thought it'd be. Can't really expect a win here

Exactly - gotta get back to better ball movement.
The second Tre comes in the game they put Kalk on him. It's incredible. He can't be out there anymore.

Yes. Partly because guys have been missing open shots but we need more ball movement and attacks.
Our lack of depth is starting to show face. Need to get hot from 3 to have a shot
I'm still impressed with this effort and team. Walking away rather not impressed with Crayin. I worry more about st johns
Time for team ball not a one man show

Ross too. Find the kid, he's been shooting the ball well.
ZL!!!

Omg. Finish the bunny!!!!

I'm saying it with Ben tho because he's 6"11 and gets shots at will. And can't make them consistently.
He's got to.
Jop with a good drive and move but a miss. We are getting shots! Let's make em from this point forward! Go Marquette!
I'm ready to roll with this team next year if Kolek leaves. We would need to add one more guard though.

LFG!!!

GolllldBrick
I feel like we can't make any mistakes and we will and I'll be bumming
Love Jop's game today but he still plays a tad out of control.
Ughhh. Ben needs to own that reb.
tired,all stood around on inbound play and lay up

True.
Too much one on one.
Love these guys.
So damn proud of this team.
Who digs the deepest, both teams gassed, we are getting looks
Both teams were completely gassed. We came out ahead in that sequence.
Hammer Time. LFG
Make a few timely 3's and we will USURP this game. Get Ross an open look or ZL. Keep fighting!!!
We've got a chance to steal one. This would be incredible
I'm dying here!! I don't see Creighton folding so we have to TAKE IT! CAN WE BE MISTAKE FREE
Win or lose, this team has onions.
Anyone pessimistic about next year is nuts.
If we pull this one out, offering another donation to the muggsy manatee fund

Snag the lead Judge and I like our chances.. Execute and attack.
Win or lose, still so proud of this team.
Got a great look. Good attack there. Focus Jop.
What a flop omg
Finish strong MU. Get the win.
55 super annoying
A bit surprised Ross isn't on the floor. Axe the zone and hard double Kalky if he's deep.
There are no moral victories, but this is an absolutely gargantuan effort regardless of the outcome.
Jop ☹️
Sweet Jesus.
Maybe a little doubt Amadou plays today Tower?
Joplin is a turnover just about anytime he tries to pass!
I don't think I remember a good shooter rattle home as many threes as Baylor Scheierman. It's extraordinary.
Love me some back to back Kalkbrenner moving screens
F U Hummel. You're doing a Big East game.
Mental mistakes too much to overcome.
This is a disgusting ending because it bails out the worms on this board who were dead wrong betting Creighton -6.5 or higher.

I think I hate Creighton more than any other Big East team.

But he has a cross on his arm, he must be a good person
Bad finish. Just deflating losing with guys out.
Ugh - wrong time to have bad rotations on the threes.

??? Great shooter hitting big shots. No hate here.
Three 3's in a row. And the one guy you shouldn't leave hits 2.

Should never be a reference to the Power 5 while doing a Big East game.
We were locked in all game, mental lapses at the end. Bummed and proud
Don't know if I've ever been prouder of them.
Not sure I understand the concept of leaving #55 wide open
Deciding to not guard Shiermann down the stretch was a bad idea. Final score will look like we got pounded but for 37 minutes we were right there.

Superb effort. We could never hit the timely three and then it went full suckage.

It was awkward. Basically said big east doesn't have the excitement of power 5 conference tournaments which is hilarious and dumb. Yes the pac 12 has more excitement... I think he misspoke

Even the yahoos at ESPN call the Big East the best tournament. Does he think basketball has innings and touchdowns?
Does it matter the final score makes it look like a blow out
Losing sucks. No participation award here. Proud? Whatever. Need to be better to win.
Man you'd think Creighton beat a fully loaded team the way their dumbass fans are cheering

Surprised.
gold needs to work on his 3's big time and ross cannot be so non-existent. norman in over his head. great games from mitchell, jones, joplin. would have won with one of oso or kolek. didn't get blown out and it was right there for the taking, think we would've won if it were at home
Now we spread the norovirus to the Jays!

I never thought he would. There's a reason he just plays garbage time.
We lose most games when two of our top three players don't have good games. 2 out of three were not even this game. So.... Hats off to our tough tough team who gave it their all against all odds.
We played a tremendous first half. I think we had two turnovers. Creighton is a great offensive team and we simply didn't make enough open looks to close the show once it was a 2pt game.
