Went to the X game with 2 of my old (and getting older everyday) Marquette roommates, and one of them brought his son, so that was fun. Went to a bar Friday night and four much younger MU grads walked in shortly after we did, and one was fellow Scooper Silkk the Shaka; during conversation he mentioned his uncle, who happened to have been at the Marquette Tribune between my two years there - small world.
Anyhoo ...
In the row behind us at the Cintas Center there was a very loud Marquette fan in a gold shirt who appeared to have been there by himself. Loud isn't necessarily bad in and of itself, but he screamed numerous profanities and it was pretty embarrassing that he was from MU.
At one point, he screamed, "Chase Ross (bleeping) sucks - I hate him!" At another point, he bellowed, "We are gonna (bleeping) suck so bad next year!" He kept trying to bait Xavier fans into arguments with him, especially after some of the bad officiating calls - as if it was Xavier fans' fault that the refs missed a call or three.
Finally, after his way over-the-top reaction to that bad call against Gold pretty late in the game, one of the Xavier fans told him to chill. The MU guy responded: "Enjoy your NIT team, if you even make the NIT." The Xavier fan actually stayed quite calm and just said, "We've been listening to your garbage and your swearing for 2 hours now. There are kids sitting all around us. PLEASE shut up." A woman in the row wearing Marquette gear calmed things down a little, thankfully.
I turned to the Xavier fan next to me and said, "I hope you know that's not the way all Marquette fans are. We're embarrassed by that clown."
The X fan was good about it. In fact, every Xavier fan we talked to over the weekend, and there were a lot, was really nice. Wishing us success in the BET and NCAAs, saying they liked the way our team played, etc. Reminded me of the interactions with Butler fans.
This clown's idiocy is why I try not to make snap judgments about other teams' fans. Anybody who was within 10 rows of this guy could have easily come to the conclusion that Marquette has the worst fans in the Big East just based on him. Hopefully, they didn't.
One of my best memories of bad fans was at the infamous BET tournament game between MU and The Hall.
Had great seats near the X and Hall sections
The Hall fans were drunk and acting out Pirate fantasies " Shiver me Timbers ... etc "
When Myles Powell ran off the court crying ,mistakenly think he had been ejected ,the Seton Hall fans completely lost their s$&)t
X people started rooting heavily for MU after seeing the embarrassment of The Hall

Wonder which scooper it was
This guy was just quoting the game thread
I was at the game in section 210. I didn't see this idiot but I can confirm all the X fans were super nice and were cool to talk hoops with. At the bar after, one of them claimed his parents are friends with Sean Miller and he's not going anywhere
My one gripe is that they need more bars around the Cintas. We went to Dana Gardens before the game which was fine but it was slammed. It seems it's the only option around there

Yes..I was there as well and also went to Dana Gardens before the game. I heard it was "like a college bar" and it absolutely was.
Sardines packed in there. X fans were awesome. Good times.

Spot on.
Did you take a pic of the dude? He'd be outed in minutes.
As a Marquette Dental school grad I can assure you we are not all loud mouthed and profane.
Hi - it's me - I'm the problem - it's me.
JK - was at game with my family - lots of nice things to say about Cintas environment and Xavier fans for the most part - but; glad to have ended their streak of wining seasons ... and look at what coaches say about us (Hurley and Miller in the same week) and compare that to Hurley telling Creighton and Providence fans he'd kick their a$$ if they didn't shut up -

Should have gone to Listerman Brewing. It's practically on campus and even closer to the Cintas.

So your theory is that some guy from International Falls or Poughkeepsie or Luckenbach showed up at a MU-X game in a gold Marquette shirt just to make MU look bad? Yes, objective journalists should have thought of that.

I've become a huge fan of conspiracy theories because they are a
ton of fun, so this explanation works for me. I'll take it one step further. I'm sure it was a Xavier fan. A number of years ago, some students at a road game wore their opponents' gear and held up a sign that read "This is
are house!" just to get on national TV.
The ball is in your court 82. ;D

I'm sure it was antifa.
I see differing fan bases between the eastern schools and the midwestern ones, just like the way that people in the midwest are friendlier than those in the east. I think the worst are the four most northeastern schools (and this opinion comes from a lifetime New Englander).
Needless to say, an obnoxious outlier can never be ruled out.

4-0 this season. The last loss I saw in person was 1-12-18 at Butler. MU rallied to take a 7-point lead midway through the second half, but then Kelan Martin did anything he wanted and Butler scored a bazillion points in a row. Our fine defensive squad gave up 90+ points.
Since then, though, I'm 12-0!

Unfortunately, we did lose the last NCAAT game I attended (2017 vs S. Carolina). And we got killed in the last Final Four game I attended. (I think Kansas was up 74-0 by the time I got to my seat.)
I'm hoping to go to the games in Indy or Pittsburgh if we go to one of those sites, though lots of details still to be worked out (including finding out where MU actually will play).

Salute to my dad. Undefeated in quieting obnoxious fans. He had the voice (booming and deep) and disposition (he had been an air force drill sergeant) for it. When an obnoxious fan would start with the inappropriate language when women (old school) or children were in the area, he would simply look at the offender and say "Knock it off." It made me proud as a youngster, cringe as a teen, and then proud again as I got older. I try to emulate, but usually only when I feel comfortable with the potential physical ramifications (I have 80% of the voice, but only 20% of disposition; not a former drill sergeant).

My dad was not a drill sergeant but he was also a big guy with zero tolerance for a guy foul mouthing in public around women and children. He had an icy stare and locked eyes with the offender and got in his face after voicing his opinion of the behavior. It worked very well.
