Just wanted to make sure I started this before anyone…..for some reason.

No sleep til uconn

I’m seeing UConn minus 5.5
First time MU has been a home dog since?
UConn last season?
-
An alum friend of mine said he’s heard of many people trying to sell their tickets. If so, that’s incredibly weak. It should be the opposite. Senior Day and a man down. Need a loud, full house all the more!
Please, if you’re an MU student, alum, or fan… use your purchased ticket, or at very least make sure it gets used by someone!!

Nah. Why bother going?
What the HELL? If you have a ticket, GO!
-
Driving up from the great State of Indiana tomorrow! Go MU!
-
We bought our tickets a couple weeks ago on the resale market, I just looked and at least in our area, definitely cheaper now. The thought of skipping it has never crossed our minds, and two of us will be driving up from Chicago to meet up with the four Wisconsinites, as originally planned..

Good to hear! Pretty good basketball in that state with the Boilermakers and Sycamores. Strange not to have the IU Hoosiers in the mix.

Agreed on IU. The alums are frustrated. They know they didn’t pick the right coach.

Also good to hear. Glad to find out we have true fans after all. 😆
-

Yep. And he’s one of their own. A down side of hiring within the family. I do think he will turn it around. Will have to make some serious progress next year.
-
MU hasn't lost with Jason Benetti and Bill Raftery doing their games this year.
I heard UConn hasn't won a road game versus a ranked team since 2014. Wow.
-
if we lose this game, it will be a bad night to be a milwaukee bus driver
-
At work, can't watch--are we winning?

Yeah my guess is a lot of the availability now is due to last minute changes of plans on a Wednesday evening.
-

It's tied at the moment. Marquette hasn't committed a turnover or missed a shot yet! And nobody's in foul trouble yet...
-

We're up by 20 at the half and Hurley got tossed after his second T.
-
We haven’t made any free throws yet.
-
Block % is embarrassingly low.

Gold is 3-4 from 3. That miss, however....
-
Al again with zero minutes.

Kolek channeled Larry Bird and played the whole game right handed.
-
Senior Night was cancelled.

Kolek channeled Larry Bird and played the whole game right handed sided.
FIFY

Anyone puking again?

Give me an hour after the ginger Brandy 151 kicks in!
-
I couldn't continue to watch. Had to be somewhere. Did we win?
-
Still tied.
-
No 3s, no points in paint, no assists, no rebounds and no FTs. Shaka should try midrange shots to fix this.
-
At this rate, at least we'll cover.
-
A win tonight would be gargantuan from a seed perspective. I think it would make it virtually impossible for us not to be a top 3.

Got a few from the nosebleeds. Will post later on.

Hate the damn 15 min plus delayed tips.

Ah crap. I haven’t noticed him on either of this or the Butler game
-
Hate the damn 15 min plus delayed tips.
Meh I dont mind them, really helps for when the game before it goes long(wont be an issue tonight).
Since its 2024 and somehow there has not been a "choose which game" option to develop on channels.
-
LFG!!!
-
Gonna need a complete team effort tonite - let’s see them do it!
-
Lets see Kam go for 30 against the best.
Announce hes ready to lead for next year
-
I believe
-
Sinned!
-
Simply put I just dont see how we score on these guys
Every thing is a little more rushed vs a D with this size.
-
Oso showing some physicality
-
Liking the activity on the defensive end.
-
Good fight
-
D is relentless tho.
Newton hitting a prayer the difference so far
-
Let's go now!! Time take some shots.
-
Take the Togo guy to school Oso.
-
Stevie!!!!!
-
Benny!
-
Hell of a stretch.
Hurley believes in his guys and then you blink and Uconn weathers the storm with a 8-0 run
Cannot give up O rebounds and Spencer 3s.
-
Figures Caraban is hitting.
-

Those long rebs are killers.
-
I’m sure this will jinx it, but this could be the quickest game in NCAA history
-
Figures Caraban is hitting.
Gold can’t be helping off of him.
-
3 straight wide open looks for Karaban and Spencer
Our answer is Norman.......yikes.
Have got to sell out on the shooters when Clingan isnt even in. Absolutelly cannot let them get 3 wide open catch and shoots in a row.
And find Kam.
-
We are playing tough. Keep the D going. Good to have Oso back. Go Marquette!
-
Zaide time??? Ross draining a few would help.
-
FILL IN MY HUDDLE
-
No foul against lowery?
-
2 on Oso
-
No idea why Oso stopped attacking
-
Chase walked into that one.
Two on Oso now is nightmare fuel.
-
Bad decision by Chase there. Take the wide open 8 footer.
Two on Oso is not good.
-
Seeking matchups and ISO isn't going to work against UConn
-
Need a time-out.
-
Jesus christ Chase.
-
Man UConn just has so many good players
-
Ross goes strong until the last second and then…not strong
-
Karaban gets wide open looks at will
We have zero open shots for Kam or Jop. And only 1 3 by those two in total.
-
Yikes, same as last game, 18 - 18, then disaster. Let’s not have that happen.
-
Tough pace. Very physical. With Oso out with 2 Ben will have to hit some 3s. Playing hard.
-
Jesus christ Chase.
Not going to score at the rim with Clingan and others. Have to get the trifecta going. We're-12 I think.
-
I assume Karajan has the highest 3pt % in the country this year
-
I assume Karajan has the highest 3pt % in the country this year
Lol.
-
Ross goes strong until the last second and then…not strong
Hoping that gets corrected next year.
-
Bigger. Faster.
-
I assume Karajan has the highest 3pt % in the country this year
Hasnt made sh it for like 4 games
So he was due to black out. Getting wide open shots makes that a lock.
-
Kam needs more toyches
-
MU has 1 total assist.
-
Jop being so damn mid at the line makes his awkward driving even more worthless.
-
That can't happen. Have to get that D reb.
-
MU has 1 total assist.
Matchups and ISO ball
-
Not gonna be close if UConn shoots 50% from 3
-
I’m going to break something with this FT shooting
-
Cannot be giving away points at the line.
-
I don’t even know how to win this besides just hope we hit a bunch of 3s
-
I mean, I love Stevie
But having your offense be Stevie iso ball. While Uconn is canning 3s
Is mind boggling coaching
Like I cant believe with Tyler out Shaka isnt trying something that involves some semblance of passing
-
FT’s no matta?
-
Another open 3
-
This could get ugly.
-
Ughhhh. Not good.
-
They’re just a lot better than us.
-
Joplin providing nothing out there
-
Better in nearly every aspect
-
UConn is so locked in.
-
They are better at literally everything.
We cant make free throws.
They get open shots. When they happen to miss them, they get rebounds
We take stupid iso shots. They get run outs.
You have to at least attempt to be disciplined in a game like this. We have no strategy.
-
I think I sit Oso to close the half.
-
pretty surprised folks thought we might win this thing. uconn just seems so much better and/or may be a bad matchup.
we just go outworked on their last 4 points though
-
No flow on offense, leaving open shooters. Maybe that could work against Providence, not against the best team in the country
-
Dejá vú all over again. Make me sick.
-
UConn >>> Marquette with or without Kolek. Have to hope someone upsets them in the tourney.
-
There’s so many 1 or 2 made 3s in a half’s and it’s just killer. Joplin shockingly absent
-
I don’t even know how to win this besides just hope we hit a bunch of 3s
Thats the worst part, we are not even attempting to take 3s.
We are going 1 on 1 and hoping to hit contested 10 footers. I cant believe we spent 3 days drawing that up.
-

The strategy is generate mismatch and go iso.
Same as creighton

We're playing without a pg but have not executed well to this point.
-
Imagine there were Scoopers who thought Marquette would win this game.

UConn> any other team in the country
-
We are tired
Out worked
-
The strategy is generate mismatch and go iso.
Same as creighton
Thats not a strategy when the opposing team naturally has the mismatch at all 5 positions
Unless Johnson is in. And then we didnt have oso going at him every play anyways.
-
We're playing without a pg but have not executed well to this point.
Then we definitely better go to the portal
Because its batsh it insanity if we plan to go iso all of next year
-
This is ugly right now. Not getting quality shots.
-
Damn we stifled
-
Give Oso the ball at the top of the paint and let him work.
-
Spencer got way more of Stevie’s hand than Oso got of their guy’s on his 2nd
-
10 at half would be good result
-
Is 3 seconds not a thing anymore?
-
This is ugly right now. Not getting quality shots.
offense had completely stalled out. Uconn is just in a different league
-
The other team has better players .
-
He missed but that Oso shot was better than our last 8 out of 10 possessions
-
Joplin has been so brutal tonight.
-
Tough to cover UConn. Very tough with Kam and Joplin the floor together.
-
Four chances to grab the f’ing ball and they can’t do it
-
This is embarrassing. Shouldn’t get punkd this bad at home even with out kolek I mean come on
-
Typically dumb charge call. Gotta get this to single digits.
-
Very frustrating. We must collectively rebound.
-
And they’re the ones diving after the 50/50 balls. Good grief.
-
Jop is simply a role guy.
Shaka has been right about a lot of things. Saying Jop could be a 20 ppg scorer was like me saying Nick Punto could be a 15 home run guy
-
Guards are not initiating any offense. Miss Sean Jones.
-
joplin has just been absolutely horrible
you have to get the loose balls to have a chance and we are not. getting outworked by a team with nothing to play for. not great thats for sure
-
Joplin has been so brutal tonight.
We desperately need Jop and Ross. Ugly 1H.
-
Makeup foul call
-
Hold for 1 and execute.
-
Nice set
-
Lol@no call
-
UConn is stacked. Sometimes the other team is just too good. Great benchmark for what we need
-
We play them 10 times they win 9. And that’s with TK.
-
Doesn’t feel like an 11 point game the way MU played. Yikes
-
UConn is stacked. Sometimes the other team is just too good. Great benchmark for what we need
Every starter will log minutes at the next level.
-
Wish someone told Uconn they can let us win
1 seed in the league and NCAA is locked in.

This……they are better than we are…..and when they shoot it great we aren’t going to beat them……especially when we can’t seem to grab the rebounds…….they are bigger and quicker.
-
Typed it in 2 seconds on my phone. Don’t be a pedantic clown lol
-
Oso got hacked 2x and still scored
-
When Nova was the No. 1 team going into the tournament, I was on board rooting for them when MU was eliminated. I have no such feeling with UCONN

-
Can’t match 3s with layups. But our guys are playing tough. Offense is disjointed w/o TK
-
Only down 11 when:
UConn 60% from three
UConn 22 rebounds, 8 offensive. MU 11 rebounds, 2 offensive
UConn 11 assists, MU 2
And Joplin/Ross have one total point. 11 down is pretty darn lucky.
-
Gotta D reb to have any chance. 1 total assist is a bit brutal as well. We desperately need Jop and Ross to do something in the 2H.
-

I typed their in 2 seconds on my phone.
-
Gotta gang rebound on the defensive glass and want the 50/50 balls.
-

Fox says 2 assists. Wait, that doesn’t make me feel better
-
Gotta attack the glass and we can make this a dogfight
-
Our “dude” doesn’t look so good.
Had hoped for more progress with him.
-
Fox says 2 assists. Wait, that doesn’t make me feel better
I guess somehow there was a dime on that Oso finish. 22-11 on the glass is the biggest issue.
-
I got nervous when uconn didn't take a TO after our 12-0 run
-
They are bigger, stronger and quicker, just as tough and have more shooters.
THe big thing I noticed in both games against them this year is that our ball movement is not existent. A lot of one guy drives, if nothing is there, they kick it out and the next guy tries. Basically Uconn is big and athletic enough to avoid doubles as much as possible, keeping their other guys home. Makes it very tough for us.
Ross has to give us something if we are going to make this a game.
-
There’s really no good gameplan here tonight, it’ll be tough regardless.
However, imo can’t keep using up so much energy to try to score at the rim on offense, then they can't defend and rebound on the other end.
So, launch up 25 second half threes and see what happens.
Marquette has made 3 threes at half, they will need 13+ to have a chance at winning this, so bombs away and hope for the best.
Gotta go the mid major hoping for a prayer offensive approach tonight and just dog it out on the other end.
-
I know we have no love lost for Huey and UConn, but have to admit that despite having overwhelming talent, they also play incredibly hard.
-
their
Your seeing some of the weaknesses on MU offensive side, Ross has no offensive game, no mid range shot at all, Jop is not quick enough to get open, Kam is a step slow, , plus without Kolek MU does not have a point right now, if this does not show Shaka he better find a point for next year he is not watching what we’re seeing, 2 assists in first half. Norman
Not ready to take the reins.
-
UConn is really good. When shooting this well, can’t be beat. To beat them, we need the following -
- at least one healthy point guard
- an active, engaged Joplin
- advantage in 50/50 balls
- turnover advantage
None happened in 1st. It’s time for Joplin to show some maturity and bring energy.

It's a valid point Dr. V. But we must rebound the ball.
-
This is all due to the refs!
-
Id actually feel better if we were trying to run similar offense to the one we do all year with TK but it wasnt working due to guys being much worse and throwing bad passes left and right.
The fact we are not even trying is much more concerning. Because it means we know without trying its already hopeless.
-
Where is Jop???? We desperately need the young man.
-
Lenny Kravitz reference. I cannot wait for Benetti to do Tiger games.

Agree as long as Norman doesn’t shoot them. He’s now 4 for 28 on year. He got in game shot an ugly three in like 20 seconds and Shaka yanked him for remainder.
Watch, he’ll hit five straight in second half…….
-
Figure UConn 3 point shooting will come back to earth. Let's see if we can take advantage.
(https://tse1.explicit.bing.net/th?id=OIP.HxJrLAiVhiIRpgffmoy7yQHaEK&pid=Api&P=0&h=220)
-
Find Spencer!!!!
-
Our defense is getting taken to the woodshed
-
Get beat, fine. Get beat leaving their shooters wide open? Doesn’t take all-American talent to play some D.
-
This has got to be killing Tyler!
-
Ross is getting abused right now.
-
Ross is getting abused right now.
he’s been atrocious this game.
-
Like Kalkbrenner on Saturday, Donovan Clingan has to be one of the TALLEST players in D1 hoops. Impressive.
-
I love watching Chase but he’s been my biggest disappointment tonight
-
So will Karaban be 1st or 2nd team All American?
-
need to hit those timely 3's and we are not......
-
Ughhh. A little quick there for Stevie. Can we string together some stops?
-
Offensive boards and loose balls.
-
Love Stevie getting that oboard but we need to get a better look than that.
-
I love watching Chase but he’s been my biggest disappointment tonight
yeah, this one needs everyone on their A game, obviously
-
I love watching Chase but he’s been my biggest disappointment tonight
Zaide time?
-
Nice O-rebound by Stevie, but we didn't need that 3.
-
Seems impossible to get a stop. Even when they do the small spencer is there for the rebound
-
Zaide time?
Ross just had a block at the rim and forced a TO by getting on the floor.
Chill
-
UCONN is the "9th Best Public University?
-
Ughhh. A little quick there for Stevie. Can we string together some stops?
It is the story of the night. Made a great play and still ended up with nothing to show for it. At least it wasn’t like several other plays tonight that ended with 3 for UCONN
-
We'd need our nearly perfect game with TK to have a chance against UConn.
-
We'd need our nearly perfect game with TK to have a chance against UConn.
GTFO.
-
Caraban hasn't had a game like this for about 6 weeks.
-
No replay of Oso hit to head?
-
Tre!!!!
-
Man, the offense is not recognizable without TyKo.
-
No replay of Oso hit to head?
That would imply that they acknowledge he doesn’t get called foul visible fouls
-
UConn shooting out of their f i kin g minds
-
I’m sorry, I think my ha…dislike of Spencer is leading directly to his shooting percentage
-
Need to nut punch Spencer
-
God I loathe Spencer.
-
That would imply that they acknowledge he doesn’t get called foul visible fouls
Since it was to the head, would have loved Oso go to floor and force a review
-
Tre!!!!! Beautiful move there!!! LFG!!!
-
Tre time!
-
Jr cadougan sighting
-
This is a huge opportunity with Newton out, gotta close the gap immediately
-
Lock up on D, get the crowd into and we have a chance.
-
Tre has some heart.
-
MU getting favorable whistle this half (Oso to the head notwithstanding)
-
I mean they're 10-18 from downtown. It's time for them to start bricking.
-
Jr cadougan sighting
Two S16s and an E8, gotta miss the Cadougan days
-
Wow, how was that not a Gold foul?
-
Had a chance this stretch
-
Spencer is cold blooded tonight. Killing us.
-
So will Karaban be 1st or 2nd team All American?
So, 1st team
-
If UConn makes shots like this in the postseason it'll be a repeat of 2023.
-
Spencer is cold blooded tonight. Killing us.
As is Karaban.
-
Oso and Kam missed layups, Spencer tough fadeaway, Karaban 3. Heartbreaking sequence
-
I just want a top big man to be called for a moving screen. I blame Edey
-
How the hell do MU’s best defensive plays end in UCONN points?
-
Two S16s and an E8, gotta miss the Cadougan days
Winner.
-
how the f do we not get some of these calls at home. unreal they didn't call a foul on jop
-
Shot. Clock. Violation.
-
How on earth is that a jump ball
-
The effort is there this half. But Caraban and Spencer are making everything.
-
How the hell do MU’s best defensive plays end in UCONN points?
do we ever have a wide open shooter? When does UConn not?
-
The effort is there this half. But Caraban and Spencer are making everything.
And they’re still getting all of the 50/50 balls.
-
do we ever have a wide open shooter? When does UConn not?
Yes. All the time.
Tonight? No
-
There is no one on our team that could start on U Conn
-
Sweet Jesus. He won't miss.
-
Of course UConn’s best shooting performance of the season is tonight on the road against a top 10 team. It’s actually crazy
-
There is no one on our team that could start on U Conn
Past your bedtime
-
There is no one on our team that could start on U Conn
I’m afraid you are correct
-
There is no one on our team that could start on U Conn
This is idiotic.
-
Surprised that Spencer T wasn’t a double tech on Oso
-
Hard to believe no foul on Kam’s drive.
-
13-22 from 3. Karaban 5-8 after going 4 of his last 22.
-
Okay, so maybe they won't fall back to 3 point earth.
(https://media1.giphy.com/media/3orif7QCyes3GEvsTS/giphy-downsized.gif)
-
you would say spencer should act a little like he's been there before but I guess playing years at freaking rutgers does that to a guy
-
Hard to believe no foul on Kam’s drive.
He got him with body, no?
-
Every 3 is wide open! It like practice for them
-
Creighton had I believe 14 3’s on Saturday - UConn already 13 tonite.
-
We've lost Caraban and Spencer a few times but you're not beating UCONN when they're 13-22 from 3.
-
Spenser’s an agile.
-
I’m trying to recall a player I disliked this much. I guess that’s what the rest of the Big East has thought of Kolek for the last 2 years
-
Spencer may not be fan favorite but he is a player. 17 points, 5 for5 three, 6 bounds, 6 assists. That’s so far with 8 minutes left.
What a portal pickup for UConn.
-
Still going into the paint while they’re potting threes
-
Everyone 1 of 2 at the line.
-

We’re too good for one and done portal transfers.
-
Sweet Jesus. He won't miss.
Spencer was a great portal move for UConn, A plus, time for Shaka to find that guy next year
-
Them…wide open!!!
-
Ughhh. Finally they miss and then we do that??? Extremely frustrating.
-
Need single digits by 5min and then force fouls.
-
our defense just sucks tonight
-
They are cooling off, in perfect alignment with MU’s offense going stagnant
-
This is idiotic.
Umm thats not really idiotic, with a healthy TK its also not insulting. This Uconn roster is a wagon. We are still really good but TK is the only guy I would give the nod to and even him for Newton isnt some drop off.
Kam and Oso could start for them. But tough sell to say swapping them for Spencer and Clingan is level or better Uconn.
-
Joplin finally starts scoring, and then he doesn't touch the ball??Ben 2-2 on 3's he doesn't touch the ball???
-
They are cooling off, in perfect alignment with MU’s offense going stagnant
Ha! I was thinking the same.
-
Second chance points UConn 17 MU 0
That’s the game

Oso and Kolek would absolutely start for them. Doesn’t mean it would be in place of Newton and Clingan.
-
Played them even so far in second half
-
This is idiotic.
Clingan > Oso
Karaban > Joplin
Spencer >Kam
Castle> Stevie
Newton>Tyko
-
Really too bad we didn't get a few buckets with essentially 4 straight stops.
-
our offense has just been like somebody randomly making a play here and there, nothing really going consistently for us, I'm not sure anyone having a stand out game
-
our defense just sucks tonight
yes…too many open 3’s for them. Our close-outs have been slow
-
Second chance points UConn 17 MU 0
That’s the game
was a glaring problem last year and we didn’t attempt to fix it
-
Really too bad we didn't get a few buckets with essentially 4 straight stops.
I love our guys, but we just don't have the talent to compete at the level the other team is at.
-
Clingan > Oso
Karaban > Joplin
Spencer >Kam
Castle> Stevie
Newton>Tyko
LOL.
-
You just can’t have multiple empty possessions and that’s been happening.
-
our offense has just been like somebody randomly making a play here and there, nothing really going consistently for us, I'm not sure anyone having a stand out game
True. Kam is also exerting too much energy handling 94 feet.
-
Finally.
-
5 in a row since the technical that happened 45 minutes ago
-
Every f’n loose ball.
-
And then they get that loose ball. Smh.
-
Game. Hard to stop a team that shoots like that. Onto Xavier.
-
And to think our rebounding may get worse next year.
-
Every f’n loose ball.
I’m trying to remember a more lop sided 50 50 ball game. Literally every one
-
It’s one thing to be out-talented, but they’ve out-hustled us all nite. Very disappointing.

Ross on the ground. Joplin on the ground
-
Gonna need a tough big man out of the portal dor next year
-
Enough of the Hovde commercials.
-
Make your damn free throws and its a 6 point game!! But we're good from the line!!
-
Can’t wait for Herm to call this an excellent win for Hurley.

Karaban > Joplin

What about a PG?
-
True. Kam is also exerting too much energy handling 94 feet.
Kam needs to learn to set up others.

And Stevie has driven into the lane five times against bigs, didn’t work out too good tonight.
UConn open threes, but that’s Shaka’s defensive scheme for three years. Double and then opposition kicks to open man. Same last game against Creighton. Sometimes it works, sometimes doesn’t.
Open threes and getting demolished on offensive boards is tonight’s demise.
-
The deflection where Stevie flung his arm up on the last possession and it flew directly to a different UCONN player is just…
-
And to think our rebounding may get worse next year.
like I posted earlier, UConn is the benchmark. How will two freshmen and a RS freshman on our frontline do vs this type of competition will determine a lot.
-
Start chucking 3’s please
-
Boy we’re lost on offense
-
Too many empty possessions in the last 10
-
Laughable free throw shooting. Not a single 2 for 2 trip to the line tonight
-
I thought Tre was a washout?
-
Start chucking 3’s please
Not the time to run Joplin ISO.
-
High 5 for Tre tnite. 👍
-
High 5 for Tre tnite. 👍
Tre was really good tonight.

Kid has heart
-
Wow, no offense without TK. Tough to watch.
-
How was that not a jump ball?
-
Our ball.
-
Both announcers says MU so it will be UConn ball
-
Both announcers says MU so it will be UConn ball
Cause call on floor is UConn and it’s inconclusive
-
I believe UCONN has 2 points over the last 6 mins.
-
Well, we'll get another point/
-
Free throws matter. We missed quite a few which points would be handy now
-
Free throw shooting is horrifying with no TK
-
FT's have sucked tonight.
-
Free throws matter. We missed quite a few which points would be handy niw
5/10 is not good.
-
Can't ask them to be perfect from the line,but if they had its a tie game
-
9-16 from the line.
-
5/10 is not good.
10/10 would be a 2 pt game
-
Free throws matter. We missed quite a few which points would be handy niw
We're shooting a higher percentage than UConn. FTs no matta.
-
Reach in on Stevie.
Push off by UConn multiple times
-
9/16
-
Wondered if a cock tease of a run would come. Came to late
-
Lost in the fight
-
If your takeaway from this is durr free throws your are stupid
-
Stevie is tits.
-
Can't leave free points out there without TK,playing UCONN
-
Should have fouled right away.
-
TK would have lobbed to Oso there
-
If your takeaway from this is durr free throws your are stupid
Yes, “your are” stupid.
-
Is Kam aware he is a good 3 pt shooter and MU is down by 5?
-
Wow. The clock doesn't stop guys.
-
Team is hustling
-
Kids have heart. Maybe not enough talent, especially with your All-American PG out and his pesky backup and solid rotation player out, but they have heart.
-
WTF!!!!
-
24 seconds left and Jop running ISO is the play? Good grief.
-
that was what we got out of the timeout?????????? nice
-
That was ridiculous.
-
Love Shaka but running a play for Joplin to create is mind numbing.
-
Joplin dribbling has led to more F words coming out of my mouth than any other basketball play
-
Jop with the ball with 20 seconds uhhh. Tho his drive befire was brilliant
-
Not to be reductive, but what pray tell did Shaka draw up in that timeout?
-
Joplin joins the Jamal Cain club of being a disaster whenever they dribble
-
Fittingly hilarious to have the fight end with a Jop TO
But all things considered this out come with the battle back is good to try and salvage the seeding with no TK being taken into account
-
Jop, this offseason…dribble. Everyday. Dribble everyday
-
I hate it when Jop drives.
-
Nice play after timeout. Give to Joplin to dribble and backdown. I always cringe when he does that, doesn’t Shaka cringe? Not good.
-
Can’t believe that call We really are shying away from the three
-
Highly doubt that was the play.
-
Never quit. Was a good effort. Little bit short against the best team in the country.
-
Too little too late. We actually had a shot during that 5 min stretch after Spencer's T. They finished with 4 points over tbe final 8 mins.

Do you think maybe the 1st option was taken away?
-
oh well it was close. didn't expect to win these with no kolek, disappointing nonetheless.
xavier is a must win IMO just to stop the bleeding
-
Is Joplin the worst ball handler in Marquette history? Serious question….it seems he turns it over 2/3 times he tries to drive
-
Do you think maybe the 1st option was taken away?
The first option was taken away - it was Kam coming around an Oso screen IIRC, but it was still another example of Jop also not being put in a position to succeed. Both can be true.
-
Might pulled this out with Kolek. Who knows. Fought hard. But an L is an L
-

Sure but my post was in regards to the lunacy of anyone thinking the play call was for Jop to dribble into traffic.
-

Oso should be in bounding the ball there with 4 shooters on tbe floor.
-
There’s been a lot of huzzahs about Jop’s drives lately.
What do the stats site say?
-
Yes, “your are” stupid.
Please seek therapy. Your need to lash out at people when you are upset about a basketball game is sad.

On that fateful possession in the last minute, I was more upset about what happened before the timeout. The players had to be aware of the situation and realize that they had to get a shot up. There wasn’t enough time to be patient and work for a perfect one.
On the whole though, I am less upset about this game than I am about the overall situation. At halftime of the Providence game last week I was really looking forward to the Creighton and UConn games, thinking MU had a good shot at CU and a fighting chance with UConn. Then it all fell apart with the Kolek injury and the flu bug sweeping through the team.
I felt tonight like I had tickets for a top Broadway show to see a famous star and ended up getting the understudy.
And from Shaka’s comments on the postgame show it’s hard to be confident that Kolek will be back for the NCAA tournament. He sounds like you would expect him to be if he didn’t expect him back,but wasn’t going to rule it out and certainly wants to keep tournament opponents guessing.

Yesterday he said he was sure he would be back. Others have said the same.
In the meantime our seeding is basically unchanged. It doesn’t matter.

This isn't breaking news: We're a completely different team without Tyko. As Hurley said it's like the Chiefs losing Mahomes. He makes everybody on the floor better and clutch plays on a regular basis. The biggest disappointment today was the rebounding but we all know we aren't going far if he's not healthy in about 2 weeks.

Just watched Shaka’s postgame conference. No idea what you were listening to…there was literally nothing there to make someone less optimistic about Kolek coming back.
-
Kolek will be back.
Shaka’s comment on the postgame was that “we have a chance to get Tyler back soon” but he said he wasn't going to be a prognosticator and put a percentage on it.
Not exactly “he will be back”.

I’m not confident the 2-seed holds. If we beat X, go 1-1 in the BE, does that keep us in the top 8? I feel
like the first or second 3 might be our spot.

The quote was "we're hopeful we can have him back as soon as we can" and the entire soundbyte was in the context of talking about the BET. I don't think there's anything in there that should cause someone to doubt Tyler's status for the NCAAT.

Edit.
-
Joplin and Ross are 0/8 (0/7 from 3), and none of their misses were particularly close.
They weren't ready to play.
Joplins first two were right there, but his last few have not been.
-
18-4 run. No fight today unlike the last 2 games.
