1. Oso and Kam back to playing like leaders. Oso still needs to dunk more instead of settling.
2. MU made their first half run with Stevie on the bench and Zaide in the game. And Zaide was crushing it. Coach told them last night...
3. Oduro is a thug. I hope Hamilton is taking notes. I want him to use his 6'9, 250 lbs to tick every other fanbase off. I am glad he fouled out.
4. Stevie and Kam both sitting at the 13 minute mark was not my favorite decision.
5. Oso running the point is why he is going to get drafted.
6. Two straight games that Stevie has gotten the crap beat out of him.
7. Fouling on 3's. Seen that film before. Didn't like the ending.
8. Carter worthy of every accolade.
9. Providence mucked it up with their physicality and made MU uncomfortable. It looked like MU might fold. But....
10. WE ARE...MARQUETTE.
I consistently cheer for our conference brethren in nonconference games and especially the postseason. This Providence team is an exception. I hope they get sent to the NIT.
Oduro is a thug, Carter also won worst hair in the Big East.
F'Providence, enjoy the NIT or maybe a play-in game if you're lucky.
Tower,
I have very little respect for that program.
Lots of thuggery, led by Oduro.
Perhaps one of your best thread title ever, which is saying something. Well done.

They're an AAU goon team.
Big admirer of Carter but Odouro needs to be relegated to the dust bin of obscurity
If they had Bryce they would be a hand full.
Excellent win against a physical opponent. Proud of how our guys played through the tough style of play from The Friars
Providence is physical. I get the dislike.
Let me just say one more thing I hope Providence doesn't make the tournament and if they do I will not root for them.

I'm sure they're crushed.
-Providence has surpassed Seton Hall as my most hated Big East team.
-Really good minutes from Zaide - excited about what he is going to become
-What more needs to be said about Stevie's toughness that hasn't already been said?
-F*ck Oduro - dirty player
-Kam and Oso leading the way and some really nice contributions from Chase
Very proud of this team. This should lock in a 2 seed combined with all the other results from the past couple of days. No reason to play TKO tomorrow.
Tower, you have outdone yourself with this thread title. Kudos!

Oduro is absolutely dirty. Grab some eyeglasses Fluffy.
I wish SilverWarrior would post about their dirtiness on the Providence board again :)
I cannot overstate how impressed I am by the performance of this team and coaching staff.
Chase did some really nice things in the last two minutes.
Providence seems to foul with the intent to injure. Can't stand them. How many players did they injure this year? I think a lot. Thugs is right. Not rooting for them anywhere they go.
I think Carter is just an excellent college player. But, that three point shot from almost half court with seven seconds on the clock, down four, was bad. That changed the complexion because shortly after that Oduro fouled out. That lead to Kam driving and making an NBA layup shot to go up 6, then Ross was able to drive and make another incredible shot to go up 8. Ballgame.
The highlight of the night was Ben Gold's free throw shot that totally missed the rim and hit the right side of the basket. I have never seen that, have seen players coming up short, but not like that. Had to rewind it to see if Gold sneezed or something when he shot it. I will give him big credit because he drained the next one.
I said it last week, even though he made two horrible passes leading to five PU points, if he keeps this up, Kam is going to rise big time on the mock drafts. Nice win tonight.

I think the yank on Oso's arm is the perfect example of the difference between being physical and dirty. Could have seriously hurt him on that play.
Kam is an absolute stud. Seems to always come up with some much needed buckets at crunch time. A travesty he is not all conference. Going to have a good career in the League
8. Carter worthy of every accolade.
Can't disagree more. I can think of at least 10 BEAST better then him...hell the entire starting five of UCONN plus first man off the bench are better. Oso, Kam, and Tyler all better. At least 3 players on Creighton . Absolutely no way he is BE POY.
Other than the hook and hold on Oso I actually thought Oduro played a pretty clean game compared to our previous matchups. He rightfully go called for the big hit on Stevie, but that was pretty close/nothing egregious.
Providence would have been a problem with Hopkins this season.
Great win for MU.
English and Holloway are great young coaches in this league.
There's no conference tourney that can touch the BET. Playing at The Garden before a full house...tomorrow will be like a road game but The Garden is OUR House, not UConn's.

I never defended Theo. He did punkish things constantly and many of us called him out.
My favorite thing about this is how we can be great defensively playing very different schemes one night apart. Last night we switched everything with the pick and pop threat of Dixon. Tonight we hedged and recovered with Oduro.
Oduro is straight up dirty. Should have fouled out in the first half.
the Providence coach is fine...definitely do not hate camera cuts to him.

I have seen Ross at least twice this year airball the first attempt and then calmly swish the 2nd.
Kam was great....But....after the dust-up with Carter, Kam spent the next 5 out-of-sorts and Carter was on a mission. Kam eventually got it together and Carter ultimately did a couple of things to hurt his s team in his aggression....but in general, Carter won that mano-a-mano.

I agree. In an in-game text chat, some of us were commenting on the four/fivesome between Oso and Sam/Stevie v. Oduro and Carter. It got too intense for a few minutes, and felt like it was not going MU's way.

Hope I never see the day.

Oduro's hook and hold on Oso - a play on which Oso amazingly was called for the foul - would have been called a flagrant on Oduro had the refs bothered to review it. It's a very dangerous play, and it goes to intent to injure.

The knee to knee with Chase was incidental. Nobody is good enough to bang knees intentionally. Other than that one, he is physical with intent. Again, I hope Caedin was studying him. A subset of scoop laments the lack of physicality by MU. Hamilton rising to 90% of Oduro's physicality minus the cheap shots would be welcome.

More physical yes, but we don't need a goon. What I'd most like is Hamilton or Amadou or someone to give opponents something to think about when they attack the basket in the form of a blocked or altered shot. That's so valuable.
Amadou seems like the better candidate to maybe be that type of player with his energy, length, and bounce, but we'll see.
I'll worry about next year, next November ;)

Providence isn't dirty and the refs were very good.....always.
Providence definitely aren't dirty.
But the refs, as always, were bad.
Lenny's not wrong.
When Theo took the brave, correct and Jesuit informed route more fans did over look his somewhat pedestrian play because they were inspired by his Al McGuire like social justice stance.
Theo became a warrior the day he stood up for what was right.

Thank you, Lens. Hope this clears things up for the very angry Smitty and the very wrong Sultan.

Nope. You were wrong. Nobody said the refs were out to get him.
Nice spin though.

Someone asked how Theo (considered thuggish by other fan bases) was perceived by Marquette fans. I gave an honest answer. Sorry you didn't like it. You're the one who sounds (very) angry, not me. I'm very happy. Happy in general and happy because MU won. So happy that I'll let your infantile insults go. Have a nice night, Smitty!
"See guys? I was just being honest! Not at all a hypocrite. Good night!"

Lol.
I don't know if they're a dirty team but there were sure as crap some dangerous plays last night. None more than the guy diving at Chase's knees in the second half.
Oduro's move when Oso got tangled up with him should have been reviewed by rule.
The problem is the refs don't establish any control early. It becomes a free for all and then they try to rein it back in later. Doesn't work.
I wasn't able to catch the game. What was the issue with Oduro?
Arms locked up. Oduro then yanked Oso's arm in order to free his own
I think there is a difference between dirty and playing right to the edge of physicality and, well, edge. I think the arm wrench by Oduro should have been reviewed and dealt with. But, a hard screen, an elbow to the chest, nah, not dirty. So many people say they want a bruiser, an enforcer, is that dirty?
The shot Stevie took to the head on Thursday, I think that was dirty. Stevie is a gnat, an absolute pain in the ass, he's getting laid out a few times for it. That's closer to dirty, in my opinion.
I just love that everyone on our team appreciates what Fri and sat night in the Garden means—but isn't intimidated by it at this point. Huge breakthrough and advantage for the program.
So Oduro makes the all-time Big East thug team. I would also put Devendorf on it as well.
Who else makes the team?

Sultan thinks that's a clean play and foul on Marquette

Sultan also thinks that should increase his NIL by 2x
Increasing my NIL by two would result in the same NIL I have now.
Saw the Stevie screen at MSG (though admittedly from the cheap seats). Replayed on a large screen10-15 feet in front of me. Oduro took a solid screen position, properly squared up. As Stevie came around, Our drops his left shoulder back and then throws it forward, laying Stevie out. That was the dirty part. A foul properly called. Doubt it rose to level of an F1.
So we have gotten to the point that a foul is considered "dirty" but not flagrant?
