a message from the UConn Huskies fanbase: kick NC States's ass tonight and join us in the Elite 8
I am a big UConn fan, but tonight I will be yelling:
We are Marquette! We are Marquette!
Maybe Stevie takes a charge on Burns early and galvanizes our guys??? LFG!!!! No hesitation, no fear, all business.

Based on the descriptions of Burns on the pregame show the biggest question is how NC State is not undefeated at this point in the season.

NC State doesn't turn it over.
MU "relies" on turning you over. Not that MU causes turnovers, just relies on the other team to hand the ball over
Driscoll. Are you kidding me?
There's a turnover
Tip worked out well . We get ball to start second half and they turned over
Drive, drive, drive
Burns looks gassed. Keep pushing it.
Gotta be stronger when we double Burns
Quote from: MUEng92 on March 29, 2024, 06:16:34 PM
Drive, drive, drive
Exactly - too much settling early - Burns is already winded.
Didn't like the quick deep 3 from Tyler. They've getting to the rim every time
Have to hit some 3's!
would be nice for one of those 3's to go down.....
up 3 and go 3 straight possessions launching 3s(Stevies was wide open)
Drive on these fools and we got this. Then hit the open 3s. Get Kam going.
Burns burning the double
I think the double 12 feet away isn't necessary with Burns. Wait till he gets closer to the rim.
Three good looks from. distance early, just need to knock them down. Let's go now!
Keep pushing the ball. Off a miss or make get into offense quick.
Ugh. NC State on a 7-2 run. That can't happen

Yes. Attack first, then get the spot triple. I think we can attack the rim at will.
They wont miss
And we cant hit anything thats a jumper
Game. Fun season
not a great start...........
Ughhh.
They're making everything
Omg Chase
Perfect dime. Great move. Then he just shrivels in fear at the rim.
Then we foul the 3 shooter again as they drill it.
Just a nightmare stretch.
MU has room for improvement
Their prayers have been answered so far. A couple of crazy shots. Stay close, wear them down
Can't hit a shot fck
Just keep bricking 3s!! Working well
We score when we drive.
Have to D up and find a way to get our 3 ball going
This team always comes out with no urgency
Nice dung 3 pt shooting
O for threes
Should've left Joplin at the book depository
With all the gambling talk these days
First person to be investigated should be Jop. Cant hit sh it but wont stop shooting
Gotta start making a few shots.
Giving up to many open 3s
The 10 pt deficit timer went off and look who shows up
Joplin stinking it up.
Lot of wide open 3s not going down.

It's true. They will still win this game but this is a regular occurrence with Marquette. Poor shooting and getting out played early.
This game—as it is being played out right now—goes Marquette's way over 40 minutes.
Marquette's defense is much better than NC State's thus far. Difference is Marquette's missed shots. As soon as they start falling, MU will pull away.
This is so painful. If Tyler doesn't do everything by himself we have nothing right now

Love comments like this. NCST is giving up open 3's as well. MU just not hitting. The game does not end at the 10:00 minute mark.
Jop is the most selfish player weve had in a long time'
Dude just doesnt realize when he doesnt have it and needs to stop for a minute
More stink from Jolp

Unbelievably frustrating. Wake the F up!!!
This is utterly pathetic
Oso is a no show and misses a bunny
Stevie taking the only shots he shouldnt take

Has to be way more aggressive. I also don't understand the defense on Burns from 12-15 feet. Can't allow easy bunnies.
We're fortunate to be only down 7 but we really need to get it together. Hopefully we'll start making open shots.
I'm not sure the "Disappearing Offense Trick" is the right move in this game.

Exactly Johnny.
ESPN's game app is malfunctioning because I was told NC State doesn't turn the ball over and ESPN says they have 6 turnovers in 15 minutes of play
Should have really been a T on DJ for chucking the ball out of frustration. Either way, 2 on both DJs...gotta make a run
wtf are they looking at that last foul for?
Following Arizona's recipe to get beat. Brick 3s and lots of them.
We are having a C- game right now and down 7. If our last 27 minutes are a B+ or maybe even a B we win this game
Time for someone to step-up and show some offense.
are you fucking kidding me???????????
Sweet Jesus.
That's f'n outrageous.
wtf!?

Wait we got screwed cause they thought that might be flagrant initially?//
First time ever all season. F this
Absolute fcking horsesht
Offensive fouls AND a t turns into a foul on us??
God oso sucks
Throwin' elbows is legal going forward. Good to know.
Somebody step up
Never heard that review rule before.
Awful turn there from Oso. Very important 5 mins.
So sloppy right now.
Oso is an absolute joke. Dude doesnt even have a pulse
When Driscoll is in the building, new things will happen and never in MU's favor
Shaka needs extra strength dung remover at half
If this is how this game is going to be called, need to make sure DJ Jones career ends tonight, win or lose
Dung performance.

Well at least we are getting the bad half out of the way early
Stevie and Jam crapping the bed
They are letting NC State get really physical on Kolek. 5 rows off the floor and it's Big East tournament physical.
Playing horribly - not much else to say right now.
Stevie and Jam crapping the bed
My goodness. NC State has completely taken us out of our offense. We need to find our game. IMMEDIATELY.

A frigging 11 seed.
They look so uncertain on offense. NC is really getting in passing lanes.
Missing threes has us pressing right now. I think we've been so focused wearing out Burns that we might be moving too fast.

Really lucky to still be in this game. Have a good finish here and we can mentally shake it off at halftime
Somebody needs to get hot to close out the half or this gets ugly.

Yeah.. I'm feeling real confident they can have a massive turnaround and over come a double digit half time lead.....
NC St. Has ramped up the defense without Burns in the game causing our offense to suck on top of making bad decisions leading us to this crap offense.
We are in trouble.

Yes. Excellent point Cheebs. Refkinglax guys! Play with no hesitation and confidence.
1-11 from 3, 2-5 from the line and 2 assists with 3 turns is a problem
That would have been number 2 on Burns. Big call because Horne has 2. MU not taking advantage of Horne on bench.
Told you Burns is dangerous when doubled, he has more assists than total MU team.
Nothing going right, threes, missed free throws, not converting on NCST turnovers, now two straight MU turnovers.
Don't get the three ball shooting, but maybe start or it's Butler 2.0.
Get within five by half and good to go.
And Burns with another pass assist.
Jesus Oso
Jesus Oso!
Stop with the fcking help defense
Quote from: mugrad_89 on March 29, 2024, 06:44:57 PM

Started with some quick, bad shots and it snowballed. Now the collar is tightening. Get to the half and try to stay close. Lack of inside scoring compounds the 3 issues.

Complete ass kicking right now. That Oso missed reb has me seething!!! FKING FOCUS!!
Stevie having a really rough game on both ends.
Gotta say, I didn't expect Marq to get blown out tonight. Shoot...
Oso can take his fu cking uniform off at half
Just absolutely gutless performance by a guy with the balls to say he was going pro before the year began
Down 7 get a stop. Just doesnt rebound. Gives them a easy two. Down 12.
Hes been like this since Nova. Pathetic.
This doesn't feel like it's gonna end well.
Done and overdone. No excuses
This is over.. we can't get a look and they get a wide open 3 every fuckin time
Oso somehow mishandles a rebound and gives up a put back. Should've been our ball down 7. He's been a disaster
Can't shoot
Quote from: MuggsyB on March 29, 2024, 06:50:15 PM

That took an extra bounce on the rim which threw off the timing and pretty much sums up the first half so far.
When Marquette loses in the tournament they always seem to do so in embarrassing fashion.

That one had a quirky bounce he couldn't legislate for. Tournament becomes flukier every year.
Pathetic Virginia-esque play by everyone not named Kolek.
Hard to stay competitive when only one player shows up.
Surprised with the attitude here. NC State is great this year. The seeding makes no sense. Marquette has turned it around down this much in the past. We can get a run here then come out with intensity. In Shaka I trust.
Right now we're a one man team. Nobody has shown up except Kolek
A mediocre version of MU shows up at some point and we can have a game. No sign of that yet

This is not "NC State is great" half - this is a "Marquette sucks azz" half. We have seen this script before. Hopefully dung remover works at half
So bad. Guess I'll watch Badger hockey.
Hang up TKs jersey in the rafters strictly for putting up with this sh it.
Trade Oso at half-time.
Why can't MU ever just lose a Tournament game. Why does it always have to be embarrassing
Unfuukkingreal
WTF is wrong with Oso?
Oso lost a lot of money these last few weeks.
You have gotta be shhhhhittttting me!!!
Actually getting emotional.. this is so humiliating
oso and jop, can't remember a more embarrassing performance from 2 guys in tournament
Goodness. Does Oso have the flu

Joplin and Oso are useless.
OmG Oso can't even make an uncontested dunk
Kolek cares. Everyone else seems done with basketball for the year.
Just pull Oso.
LMAO
Fucking send both of those two home now.
Get players who give a fu ck
Oso has ruined 4 assists for TK alone.
Hello, are Oso and David there, please?
i just hope we win cause if we don't oso just trashed his mu legacy
Oso is killing me. Wow.
We've just been in panic mode the whole game.
For all the hate towards Oso, how about Jop? He has been so bad!
2 fouls on Oso!!!
God is good!!
Call 3 more now
Both Oso' fouls outside the 3 point line.
Why are we doubling O'Connell 35 feet from the rim?

Man.
We need a 50 point 2nd half
Incredible.
Big break there. 'm not giving up home. We have a tendency to play one bad half and ne great one.
Jop still off by a mile
Now a free throw brick
And another
And another
Fu ck this guy.
Nothing...they can literally do nothing right. It's truly shocking everyone could play so poorly st the same time
They are playing super scared.
This is really embarrassing.
Yep! They don't matter!! Fools
Choke. Choke. Choke.
Free throws don't matter, we got that going for us.
joplin holy unnatural carnal knowledge dude
nc state has gotta be the luckiest team in the world
That was depressingly reminiscent to Butler at home.
The hope that Jop would find his confidence in the second half probably vanished with three straight missed FTs
Kolek should have 9 assists already
But Jop and Oso are having the worst games in the history of basketball.
They are fu cking 0/5 from the LINE. THE FREE THROW LINE.
Unbelievable, yet totally f'**n believable for Marquette.
Worst half of the season?
This fatass on NC State thinks this has anything to do with him and not our team that's just happy to be here
I don't get it... just dominated in every facet by an 11 seed... guys forgot how to play??
No idea why we would be this tight. But clearly we are. One guy showed up in the first half. Extremely frustrating and painful to watch.
Disaster in every way outside of Kolek
Jop. Wow. Just wow.
Nothing to lose at this point. MU made itself a big underdog in this one.
Coach has his work cut out for him after that stinkfest.
That 20 minutes of basketball was more funny than anything
Absolutely senseless to play Jolp in 2nd half. His head is so far up his ass it can give him a colonoscopy

Ah yes, the only game I attended in person. Just had a flashback about 30 seconds before reading your post. Thanks for the validation I guess
I really don't understand the strategy on Burns. Why double him 18 feet from the hoop? Closer in, sure. With Joplin the primary defender, sure. But he's begging for that double in most of these situations.

but my goodness what has happened to oso? not sure i remember any star mu player ending his career with such a string of terrible, scared performances

South Carolina - 20 point embarrassing loss
Murray St - 19 point embarrassing loss
N Carolina - 32 point embarrassing loss
Michigan St - 9 point loss, some how the least embarrassing of them all
NC State - we'll see
Cuse, Florida & UNC pt 1 weren't exactly close games either

He's had his worst half of his career.. but who else plays? just go with 5 guys.. just have to play him.
Zaide? Tre? Cam? The towel boy? Some make a wish kid from the stands?
You quite literally could not pick a worse option.

We are still winning this game.
I like you're optimism. Hope we can turn it around. Not much else to say
That might be the most embarrassing half of basketball we have played in years.
Make a couple FTs, don't miss a wide open dunk, and make at least 1 of the many wide open 3's and it is at least a close game.
We are good enough to still win this one. We need to get on our horse, attack, quit playing scared.
We need to seize the momentum, dictate the outcome of the game.
Quote from: mugrad_89 on March 29, 2024, 07:05:28 PM
Gotta stop doubling Burns and stop settling on offense.
Can't stop entirely. He'll abuse Oso. Gotta show double, or bring it late. And for gods sake if we double we have to rotate waaaay better.

It's hard to understand.
For the life of me, I don't get why they are so tight. But the truth is no one has shown up other than Tyko.
Sh it.
Actually we should just play 5 on 3.
I once watched it work pretty well for Collin Sexton against the Gophers.
Half time guys are shredding Shaka's defense about doubling the bug guy 18 feet from the basket.
As bad as we played, if we just made a couple more of those open threes and FTs and the dunk, we'd have been right there.
So I think we can come back.

Maybe but at least not 15 feet from the basket.
Oso scored first basket on the game.......19 minutes later. Better get it going, anything.
Kolek has 14 of MU 24 points. 24 points and 2 assists. Heck, Burns has 5 assists because they doubled him continually. Barkley even just said the same thing. MU doubling way too much. Oh well. Didn't take advantage of Horne on bench.
Joplin, don't get it, from a great game, to one of MU's NCAAT history's worse. How does one miss three straight free throws.
Not over, get Horne number 3 foul, make 60% of threes and make turnovers into points.
Kam is gonna have to go off to start the 2H.
Quote from: willie warrior on March 29, 2024, 06:38:43 PM

G-league, sure. Association? No

-stop doubling burns
-create some to's and fastbreak points
-more shots for kam, less for jop ....or just make a normal percentage of shots
-get kolek to the rim more and more

TBH Im ok with Kam and TK just shooting every time down.
See what happens.
Oso and Jop already blow torched TKs assist total anyways. Might as well for go 50 and 1 dime.

For sure. We've also doubled the ball a couple times like their last possession before the half. That stuff just makes no sense at all.
Entire returning team from last year and we are playing like we have never been here before. Actually, I do not think NC State is that good. Had we hit just 3 threes out of the ten missed, we'd be down 4.
When you are not hitting threes they can sag back and stop the cutting drives.
At least Markus went out silently without a tournament, instead of shitting the bed on national television as a prohibitive favorite
The Al McGuire rule means you cannot turn-down a NCAA tournament bid, but there is no rule about slipping-out at half-time.

Game is far from over, but they need to put the big boy pants on in the 2nd half. They've done it before. Need the big 3 and others need to get them the ball.
Face it sports fans. MU does not have the roster to compete at the elite level. And if they lose their big 2 they will be handing with GT.

We are doubling too much but the bigger problem has been our offense. 24 points and frankly guys are not locked in. You can't miss wide open dunks or free throws. Or rebounds for that matter. We're shockingly disjointed , tight, and lost complete focus once we started 0-6 from downtown.

That's why I am waiting until 2025.
Right now we have 1 guy who can shoot, one guy who can pass and one guy who can rebound- Kolek, Kolek and Kolek. Jop and Oso have been incredibly bad. Stevie, Kam and Chase bad and Ben and Kam invisible. To say they all look tight would be an understatement.
Shaka has to read them the riot act.
Shooting:
Overall 34.5%
Threes 15.4%
FT 25%
This team needs to get some balls and shoot with confidence now.

Don't see how giving up endless wide open 3s is fine defensive

Watching with the sound off. Total zen
Great start Kam.
well nice start anyway
Wide open.. Smh
oso is a fucking joke
Jesus fk.
Third foul on NoShow Igadaro
Hey look, new ways to look bad
The cylinder rule garbage and reversed call on Burns completely changed the 1st half.
Man even Kam cant hit one
BS call on the blockout.
We look completely out of sorts. I'm. dumbfounded with no answers.
Just another open look for nc
Ok Driscoll you fuukkbag. Guess who the foil was on? Neither.
That should have been a foul on Diarra.
Bold move by TK sticking up for the guy whose lost him 3 assists
Maybe Diarra was in his cylinder.
I'm as optimistic as the next guy but this will take a minor miracle to win.
Welp...
Is Jones on the take or is he really this bad?
Maybe the 1st half was the good half
stunned at what i am watching
Yeah, not gonna be a comeback tonight it doesn't appear.
Catch the fking ball!!!
Kam just not himself.
Yeah, we just cant score
This one is over.
Just an embarrassing game
Oso can't catch a ball all of the sudden.
Are Oso's hands f'n broken?!!
Starting to get comical actually.. just literally losing every play...
No NBA team is drafting Oso.
Oso cannot catch a pass. It is just shocking.
Oso is gutless. No other way to keep saying it
Guy isnt even ready for passes.

Seems the officials got a text to keep the game close.
Oso misses again
No heart. No honor. No pride.
Has he made a single good play today?
Thatta boy Stevie.
We'll get it to 8 by the 10 minute mark. Will win by 4.
Gonna need Kam to step up some. It's on him and Kolek. I'm totally fine worh benching Joplin and putting Chase or Zaide in his place at this stage.

At least Joplin who flat out shouldnt even play has some sort of look of care when he sucks or makes one good play
Their defender literally falls down to leave Kolek open for three and the pass goes to the 3rd row. The gods are not allowing MU to get back in this game

Would think one of those 3 would result in something better than what we've seen
Much better defensively this half.... offensively unfortunately no better so far
Getting loads of stops
We do something stupid or chuck a brick any time to cut to 10 ish.
Oso again not paying attention!!!
If Stevie Mitchell is trying to create offense, Marquette is in serious trouble.
Mitchell absolutely hammered on that
The point a minute offense isn't going to get it done.
The team looks as defeated as I feel.
Beyond belief. We've had like 5 opportunities to get in this game.

This really is incredible how poor MU is today.

Oh hes been a factor
That factor is blow torching our best chance at a final four in 20 years
Let's go now!
Butler 2.0? 5 for 31 in that one. This is just crazy. Maybe they hit next 10 to get it close. Gonna be only savior tonight I think. Make it an MU history comeback moment, because this is a middle of pack ACC team, that's throttling us right now.
And Mitchell throws it in stands. Not taking advantage of NCST misses and turnovers. 14 to go, let's shoot 80% inward.
Guess not, while typing:
NCST miss, throw in stands
NCST miss, Oso loses it turnover
NCST miss, Mitchell shot block
NCST turnover, hey Kam scores, yeahhhhh
NCST turnover, Kam into stands
Ben Gold, two fouls in 30 seconds
NCST miss, Gold miss
Again, self inflicted. 7 possessions after non scores by NCST, 2 points
We're just pissing it away now lol
Put the freshmen in
OMG
Every single time.
What the fu ck are we doing.
D is playing great.
OMFG Kam Jones.
This is an absolutely garbage game.
This is literally Michigan St level with the incredibly dumb turnovers.
Totally out of synch. Still...
If I wasn't an MU grad I would be laughing my head off at how many different ways MU has shots themselves in the foot tonight.
So, so rattled.
Three of last four offensive possessions:
Twice thrown into stands
One off MU leg
The turns are beyond human belief. I'm befuddled to put it mildly. WTF is going on? Why are we so tight?
Cannot make a shot.
They've given us every opportunity to get back in the game.
I'm ded
When we need Gold to deliver a 3, he delivers brick.
Another stop. Another wide open brick

MU has 3 or 4 players who you would swear were drinking hours before the game.

Sweet fking Jesus!!!
I'm not sure MU could win this game if NC State didn't score another point the rest of the way.
Just literally everything bad on offense
You knew free throws would end our season
We cant even make free throws(not that we do even on good games but still).
They've thrown up some junk that's gone in and that hasn't helped anything
Different game if we make our freethrows
This team should be embarrassed
Then Horne hits that. The back breaker
Feels like that's it
Strong board there Oso. Strong Board.
Use the eligibility at Platteville.
These nc state guards are incredible. 11 seed?
oso outjumped for the rebound. finally nc state doing something on offense. think its over.........very disappointing
As much as it pains me to say this, we're toast. ☹️
There's the turning point. Blowout ensues
I'm wondering if they get to 50
Kolek HAS to push the ball there
Blow up the roster

That 3 with the shot clock expiring really hurt.

Redemption time.
No heart, minimal effort, hard to believe this is a Sweet 16 squad.

As horrifying as they've played. Shoot like 28% from 3 and it's a 6 pt game rn

3 for 22 is very difficult to overcome. I'm just stunned right now.
Golds 3 halfway down and rattled out. Just fuukk off
Frustrating. If we were even playing just an average game, we'd be up 7.

Hermie, you're trolling looking for responses only. NCST mid pack ACC team. MU losing because self inflicting. The boxscore is going to be so, so, ugly.

Ridiculously untrue.
If we just converted on half the opportunities they gave us, we are winning.
They gave us opportunities for us to be up double digits. We just haven't converted yet.
We haven't had a run yet. We will get one.
Then it is a matter of who converts down the stretch. I'll take our guys. We are the better team.
By this point, I'd have adjusted my golf swing to account for my slice
NC state is NOT that good people. They are middle level big east, but we're just garbage today. It's still not over, dig deep for something...anything
Wtf. No Kam?

Ya....that's just a bad take.
Oso made a good one!
It's not like NC State's defense has caused any of this. MU is missing wide open shots, passing balls out of bounds and at ankles.

100%
Ldkahdbehehsnwn!
Another wide open three and brick. Absolutely brutal.
for the love of god please just make some shots
Cannot make a 3. So freaking frustrating.
Their reluctance to take shots in the lane is infuriating.
F off refs
Someone post Pat Driscolls address online
And then he makes 2 good plays on D.
Unfking real.
Marquette might want to think about not shooting 3's.
Kam Jones dung.
It's comical
3 of 24 from 3. Unreal
...but there's still a chance.
We got this.
Kam was due for a cold game. Hate to say it
N.C. State is NOT THAT GOOD. Why?
Why is every other team allowed to call timeouts while not having possession or falling of bounds
Kam need to drive the ball and finish. He hasn't tried nearly enough and when he's driven he's kicked it out
Down 8 and it feels like 27

Have you seen the 3PT%? Marquette would be losing to Oakland if they shot like this.
If we're 25% from 3 we're up 1.

This is hard to argue with. The fact that Marquette is within single digits with how horribly they've played makes it pretty clear that NC State is not that good.

Quote from: warriorfred on March 29, 2024, 08:00:50 PM
N.C. State is NOT THAT GOOD. Why?
Because we have inexplicably crapped the bed to this point offensively. 3 for 24 isn't gonna do it. And many of them have been wide freaking open.
Tight. We are the better team. But tonight, we are shooting like a significantly worse team.
For the first time tonight, hope is starting to fade.
Need to get within 5 with 4 left
Quote from: warriorfred on March 29, 2024, 08:00:50 PM
N.C. State is NOT THAT GOOD. Why?
Uh, 3 for 24, 8 missed free throws, 3 balls in the stands, get destroyed on boards, all offense this half. Defense fine, just not offensive
Win or lose, it's been an honor being a member of Scoop this season. I wish you all the best.

We got this.
We somehow eek this out, we going to the natty, you heard it here first!
Stevie got pasted.
Every time I reiterate MU can't come back, they score. So, there is no way MU is coming back to win this
Oso is so soft

That's that. Wow.
I am sorry but Oso has been terrible for weeks. Good luck in the nba man
I hope Driscoll dies the worst form of cancer
Can't buy a freaking basket tonite - good grief.
Microcosm of the entire game but Oao was clearly fouled.
Fu c these losers go home.. idc. 10% from 3 is so bad it's almost intentional...
kam missing shots he has hit all year.......i guess it can't be all on oso. he has missed so many when we needed them bad........

Because they are giving us wide open 3's and packing the lane.
What was the point of keeping Jop on the floor when he's 0-everything? Shaka really thinks the entire bench is worse?
Two missed threes, the Kam one hurt really bad. Really bad. Would have been huge momentum swing Shame
Going to my safe room, this board going to go nuclear soon.
It's going to take awhile to get over this disappointment.
At least last year I could look forward to this year.
Now it's rebuild time with last year as the high point for this group of players.
Give the ball to Joplin again
Hard to believe it was within 6 points, with the ball and 3 minutes.
Wow.
Nice job kolek moving over to give up a wide open 3
Worst part is unlike last year, next year has no chance to be better than this year
Choke.
9 threes for NC State, 3 for us. That's the game right there.
Quote from: mugrad_89 on March 29, 2024, 08:15:43 PM

Shaka put them in a hole with that horrendous 1st half defensive scheme, not using timeouts to calm them down when it was obvious they were tight. Shaka doesn't miss the open looks but he sucked just the same.
Always undersized
Embarrassing performance. Bench was useless and Kam and Joplin were awful.
Just can't get over missing literally every 3 when we got it to 8 so bummed out.. nc state clutch shots.

this has got to be one of the most disappointing performances of all time right? end of an era with 2 years of this team.........only beat teams double digit seeeded and then crapped the bed at our best chance of the final 4 in years with this kind of performance

The defensive scheme wasn't great but they adjusted and ended up just fine. Offense got a ton of good looks. What can you do?
If I was Shaka I would've gotten a little more creative looking for answer in the bench. I even thought Ben deserved more minutes
Unbelievably soul-less effort by the entire team. Not sure how Shaka ever recovers from a final four caliber roster that just gave up.
Here's the garbage time 3s to make get the percentage up to 25
The bright side is we would have lost by 30 to Houston or Duke

Why not. What do you think this team would do against the number 1 defense in the country? Would have been UGLY.
When you only score 24 points in a half defense is not the biggest problem

No but a guy like Jop was. It clearly wasn't his night and you know he's not gonna give you a ton defensively.
Never much of a game. Sad way to end for Oso and Kolek and maybe Kam. Poor performance for the team. Appreciate having been able to watch them.

I said it earlier, that when down six and Kam missed that three, huge momentum killer. Would have changed the game, believe like 4 minutes to go. Then next possession another miss three and NCST went on from there.

Uh. No. It's pretty obvious that he's a great coach. If you can't see how the program has completely changed the last few years, that's on you.

That's exactly it. Most teams would've ended Marquette's season today the way they were playing. 3 for 26 from 3 and 14-23 from FTs isn't going to cut it. What an inopportune time for Marquette to have one of their worst shooting games.

Marquette versus Butler was 5/31 from 3 versus NC State Marquette was 4/31 from 3
