Let's hope Xavier shoots a 3
The Xavier player was fouled by a Xavier player
FS2 it is
Horse$hit call #1
Thx Breeding. Jkass.
Did this guy just say "huge upset win against wisconsin"? Burn this man.
Cmon Jop.
Did he even shoot that?
Why did he get 3 shots?
There ya go.
We suck
Chase seems okay. Let's go now!
WTF Jop! Plant, balance, and that's an easy 2.
Jop you are plying with an All American, you aren't the All American
Can someone please get jop to stop dribbling? Please.
Jop is in his driving mode.
Not moving the ball on offense
Slow start. Attack the rack and move the basketball. Get everyone involved.
We don't have anybody defending right now. Enter Zaide!
Butler, picking up where they left off in the second half last year
Quote from: jesmu84 on December 18, 2024, 08:15:52 PMCan someone please get jop to stop dribbling? Please.
Well, the opponents do all the time lol. Really I do I like his aggressiveness. He'll get his
Ughhh. Move the ball.
Am I the only one who cringes when Parham chucks up a three relatively early in the clock!?!

In his defense, he had been on the floor for at least 7 game seconds
It's time to amp it up. Some lethargy and quick launches out there.
We are out of sync..... not fluid. Need to play MU basketball

No. Shot selection from deep needs to improve.
Butler pounds the air out of the ball, gets late in the shot clock and chucks a three. What a stinky team. Move the ball, shots start falling and the whistle isn't one sided and this is a blowout win.
Quote from: Daniel on December 18, 2024, 08:25:08 PMWe are out of sync..... not fluid. Need to play MU basketball
Spot-on.
MU looking to match last year's 5 for 31.
Kam. Don't come back down to earth from the early season high
Listen to that announcer. Stop shooting 3's until you get your butts into the paint!!
1 for 7 on 3s. Regression to the mean is on our side. Soon they will be dropping. Let's Gooo Marquette!
Hit a damn shot
We are rushing difficult shots. They are getting easy shots.
Not a recipe for success.
Guard the 7'er by the basket? Why would we do that?
1-9 from three. Many wide open but a lot of quick shots.
We simply have to relax and hoop. FOCUS.
LFG!!! NOW.
Maybe that Stevie hoop gets us on track.
There's Stevie

It worked for Dayton...
Ben's been sitting for a long time.
Where was the foul? The oaf just blew the layup.
Sweet Jesus. Go up strong Caedin.
Totally out of sync.
That looked like a flop. But Stevie can't lower the shoulder like that.
Switched to FS1. Maybe the change of scenery will flip the momentum
Quote from: forgetful on December 18, 2024, 08:35:15 PMThat looked like a flop. But Stevie can't lower the shoulder like that.
Exactly. Not necessary.
Not moving the ball crisply. Not good. Need to clean this up now.
:o
Quote from: wisblue on December 18, 2024, 08:28:37 PMMU looking to match last year's 5 for 31.
But only if they heat up.
Feels an awful lot like last years game.
Why do we look like we're going through the motions? Where's the energy? Let's go now!!
Quote from: forgetful on December 18, 2024, 08:35:15 PMThat looked like a flop. But Stevie can't lower the shoulder like that.
The defender did an NFL receiver's level of footwork to not step on the restricted area line
Play harder!
Tre!!!
No Tre...yes Tre
Not who I thought would hit our next 3.
Damn. I thought Chase had that one.
Positive...Kam has no fouls through nearly 15 minutes
Thr crowd is listless. Gotta amp it up!
Chase is a bad, bad man.
Has Ben taken a shot?
Doesn't seem to be a lot of energy from the crowd so far.
Focus Jop!!! That absolutely should have been an and 1
Students are on break.
I can see why Butler needs so many free throws to score. Putrid, putrid offense.
Let's go now!! Playing like manure and still up 1.
Was that a pass by Kam or did he just lose it in Stevie's direction?
Ughhhh. Very frustrating because we have no rhythm offensively.
Quote from: MUEng92 on December 18, 2024, 08:45:50 PMWas that a pass by Kam or did he just lose it in Stevie's direction?
It was an attempted pass.
They are too good of a shooting team to keep giving them these wide open 3s.
Our scramble D is killing us.
3 pt shooting is just ugly.
Feeling some bad vibes in this game. Hoping that changes soon.
Don't know what else Ben could have done
If Butler is playing without a big, why is Ben on the floor?
Big hoop from Stevie. Gotta attack the rim from all angles.
Why do teams just make ridiculous 3's against us.
Quote from: forgetful on December 18, 2024, 08:51:50 PMWhy do teams just make ridiculous 3's against us.
Seriously Butler has 3 or 4 terrible 3s that have gone in.
Even Telfort's $hit turns to gold
Offense is disgusting right now.
Kam is unrecognizable
We need to eventually start making some shots.
Crazy half. Offensive rebs have kept us afloat. Kam is out of sorts and the ball movement and patience isn't there. To only be down 3 is a positive but we really need to get it together.
No surprise here.
When a team that prioritizes 3s doesn't make any, they're in trouble
Last years team had a terrible stretch and this is looking very similar
2nd half they will return to the mean
We got this
Quote from: forgetful on December 18, 2024, 08:51:50 PMWhy do teams just make ridiculous 3's against us.
Because we give up so many wide open ones that guys on the other team get a feel for their shots.
This is a mirror of last years game. We can shoot and they can.
Well that was a sh!t first half.
Ben should not be on the floor if Butler does not have a big on the floor. He can't stay with Telford and he won't post up so he's of little use except as a decoy/floor spreader.
It's like Kam has the yips compared to the beginning of the season. It's so bizarre when he drives one handed and it doesn't go in
We have 2 total assists. Get everyone involved and play with confidence.
For those who forgot, we were favored by 14.5 in this game.

Not sure many of their's were uncontested. Almost all of MU's were.
Need to turn up the heat on D. Butler is way too comfortable.

Nah.
Telfort made a 2 at end of shot clock - closely guarded fadeaway and closely guarded bank
We are dung, where is Willard?
Quote from: jesmu84 on December 18, 2024, 08:56:43 PMNo surprise here.

It's the early non-rhytym triple that's biting us in the ass right now.
We have to wake the f up and play with a sense of urgency.

I think he's pressing a bit but will figure it out.
Apparently the team got brewcity's non-con NIL check
Ugly half. Ugly jacked up quick 3s. Typical ugly out of control Jop drives.
If Kam can't score off of his drives, we struggle to score.
We rely to much on Kam.
Need 2 other legit scorers with one of them inside.
This team has holes that are masked when Kam is other worldly.

Well that's a better start.
Looks like Gold is sick or something. Definitely not himself tonight.
Why no Owens this game so far? I feel like we could use him.
Does Stewie have a Covid year? Sure would love it if he stuck around.
Quote from: Milkshakes on December 18, 2024, 09:15:56 PMDoes Stewie have a Covid year? Sure would love it if he stuck around.
No.
Better defense. Points in the paint. But Jop had 1 ill advised shot.
Much better energy.
Quote from: CountryRoads on December 18, 2024, 09:14:41 PMLooks like Gold is sick or something. Definitely not himself tonight.
He does look pale.
Lol that foul was waaay before the shot
Wow. No help D at all there. FOCUS.
Kam grabbing the ball after the whistle just to see the ball go through the hoop.
Ben with some good defense this half.
Joplin's ability to finish through contact is only outmatched by his dribble/drive
That's the 2nd and 1 Jop should have converted. We're out of sorts and must get it together.
Hey, there's Kam
We're not used to Kam having off nights.
Jones and Joplin are 1/10 from 3,yikes!!
Man. Literally cannot make a 3. But I don't like the quick launch. Move the basketball!!
Quote from: jesmu84 on December 18, 2024, 09:20:44 PMJoplin's ability to finish through contact is only outmatched by his dribble/drive
Well played. Thought the same thing.
Kam should not take another 3 this half unless the ball made a full reversal or there is less than 15 on the shot clock.
That was a good 4 minutes, but it had the potential to be great.
Quote from: Fred Garvin on December 18, 2024, 09:23:12 PMJones and Joplin are 1/10 from 3,yikes!!

Exactly.
I'm okay with Kam's early 3 attempt. If it went in, I honestly think it could have been enough to get the boulder rolling
Is Owens hurt? Surprised he hasn't gotten run tonight?
Someone has to get the lid off the basket even the ones that go in don't look very confident.
Quote from: Elonsmusk on December 18, 2024, 09:25:19 PMIs Owens hurt? Surprised he hasn't gotten run tonight?
He played a few minutes in the 1st half
It's insane. We can't seem to make anything outside of 2 feet.
Finally!!
I did not have Norman and Parham as our next two 3's.
They are settling way too much for early threes.
Jop, Jones and Ross are a combined 1-14 from 3 so far.
Thatta boy DO.
Great job on the glass.
No style points but EVERYONE is hitting the offensive boards
Quote from: Norm on December 18, 2024, 09:30:06 PMJop, Jones and Ross are a combined 1-14 from 3 so far.
That's unbelievable. And we ahead a little . We need those to start dropping now
Another wide open corner 3. Too much gambling. If you're gonna go for a steal in that fashion...you gotta come up with the basketball.
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on December 18, 2024, 09:34:44 PMAnother wide open corner 3. Too much gambling. If you're gonna go for a steal in that fashion...you gotta come up with the basketball.
3 poor defensive possessions for sure.
Damn Telford is good
Parham has never met a shot he doesn't like.
Parham can see the bench please.
Parham is too much of a black hole on offense, frustrates me
Stevie's an animal.
I would donate to Butler's NIL fund to have Bizjack continue to be a cornerstone of a Butler's offensive scheme
What a rebound from Stevie. But the 3pt shooting is beyond belief.
Never thought I'd see the day when Marquette would be kept in the game purely on offensive rebounding.
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 18, 2024, 09:42:18 PMWhat a rebound from Stevie. But the 3pt shooting is beyond belief.
It's literally a carbon copy of debacle from last year, but fortunately they are dominating the offensive boards.

We have 20 O rebounds
Butler has 20 D rebounds
Stevie's next rebound will be a double double. Per Ben Steele
Big 3 from Gold.
Amadou burns his redshirt to put up 6!
And another big one from Kam.
Kam is overspinning. Just go straight downhill.
Finally!
I never thought I would see a team leave Kam open on a three. Thank god Kam made them pay
Cmon Kam. Ughhh.
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 18, 2024, 09:52:03 PMCmon Kam. Ughhh.
35 minutes before his first foul though
Great vision by Kam.
Ben Gold with some impressive position D tonight against multiple positions.

Agree.
Wow 2 turnovers for MU. Impressive let's finished this off strong!
That's it. Straight downhill.
The third and 1 we should have converted.
Why take that shot Jop??
Wow Joplin. We will upgrade massively at this position next year.
Butler is a hangnail
Never easy. Too quick from Jop.
Why the eff did Jop jack up that three? Just dumb.
Quote from: CountryRoads on December 18, 2024, 10:00:10 PMWow Joplin. We will upgrade massively at this position next year.
This is dumb.
Unreal @ Jop did not need to shoot that one. Now 6. We need a s ire here. Let's Gi Marquette! Going to be Kam for 2,
Jop.
Addition by subtraction next season
Mitchell is automatic. Such a crafty player.
Ross puts down the exclamation point!!!!!!
I'd like to report a murder.
Kam is so good that his 2nd or 3rd worst game of the year and he still scores 23
Take the win and run.
Very odd basketball game.
The rebounding was enormous.
We need to be better Saturday.
Xavier gave UConn a tough game. Lost in OT at Uconn

He's figured it out in the facets of the game where he's historically been the weakest, but he can't figure out his biggest strength...
Put the ball in the basket young man
