MU is in the neighborhood of a 6 point road favorite. To me, that reads like Hopkins isn't going to play. That is rough. I hope the kid's knee heals.
Anyway, go do MU things, hit some 3s, ring out the old, ring in the new.
It's been 84 years.
Forgot the season was still going on..
It's been so long I actually had to watch some NBA, and man was it not pretty

Hard to know, but he follows Cooley, Providence, Fenwick HS (BH's high school), Fenwick BB, and a guy who seems to be associated with PC's NIL.

I still have bad flashbacks to when MARQUETTE lost to Providence in Charlotte at the first round of the '97 Tournament. God Shammgod & Austin Croshere torched us.
Providence made it to the elite 8 and lost to ARIZONA in OT.
Still has pallets of four lokos around. The old school version.
Beat Providence so bad that they stay in 2024!

Muggsy had to switch to coffee already because he got us tossed out of a Providence lobster fisherman speakeasy and bare knuckle boxing event.
He was tackling people and then yelling "WHAT?! THATS A LEGAL PICK IF MY NAME WAS ODURO!!!"
Fair point Muggs but this is becoming a pattern and I'm tired of having to bribe the local constabulary to keep our noses clean.

We suck
Cmon Kam.
Driscoll at work - foul 30 sec. In.
Mr. And Mrs. Kolek have good seats
Not that it matters but feels like they never score first in big games
Good grief.
Thatta boy Jop.
Joppy
Beautiful dime there from Kam. LFG!
Not a fan of the press that leaves two Friars behind all MU defenders
Chase! Good response.
Survived that early storm about as quickly as you could after PC hit a couple deep 3s.
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 31, 2024, 05:01:30 PMLFG!!! Who on earth are these broadcasters?
A, B, and C crews got the holiday off.
Jop, Kam, Chase hitting that B2B2B from that outside.
Gimme more of that
We're good. PC has hit 2 nba threes off side swings, not inside out. That won't last.
That was above average defense by MU
Great D. Let's go now!
Kam has his one handed layup back. Nice
Rectal roots
Step on their throats!!!
Parham not standing behind the 3 pt line. Also nice
I deserved that
Tremendous theft there by Stevie. We don't need early launches from Tre, RP, or DO. Attack this team at will.
Wooo!
Boys playing well, but once again Parham jacking 3s, when his ass should be down low. Has he made a 3 all year?
Fun
No let up ..... keep it going Marquette!
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 31, 2024, 05:19:53 PMTremendous theft there by Stevie. We don't need early launches from Tre, RP, or DO. Attack this team at will.
Tre and Royce have done really good things in this one though. Tre with a steal and his usually solid defense. Royce has been really active and strong on the box outs down low.
Love it.
Prov. don't like tough D. SJU used it and came from way back. We got this.
C'mon, there has to be 2 Stevie's on the court right now
Is the score right? I thought we had 30.
Here comes the Dence run
Grab that reb with 2 hands Kam.
Kam needs to work on his half court shot.
Head up Jop! Ben wide open under the rim on that reb.
Gold needs to get his name in the scoresheet
Jop, try sharing. You had Ben wide open underneath

Yes. We need the score sheet to read GooooollllllddddBrick
Kam can tie PU on this next possession
Now let's keep foot on the gas for 40 min
The final 8 mins of this half should be relentless attacking. Kam can go downhill at will. We are Blue 🐋 🐋, they are Krill. Continue to punish them, rebound, and destroy them.
Why ZL??
Thatta boy ZL!! :)
Hamilton with a great 7 seconds of play
Hamilton was fouled there but should have dunked
Did Tyler join his parents on the sideline seats?
Sloppy offense the last several possessions. Patience and then attack.
Quote from: willie warrior on December 31, 2024, 05:37:32 PMHamilton was fouled there but should have dunked

Defense has been elite. They are really stopping the dribble penetration.
Not a fan of Kam's last two possessions. Quick three and terrible cross court pass. You need to play smarter with the big lead.

Stevie apparently going back in with 2 fouls
Bam. Benny.
Weak ass call on Ben.
Ball don't lie.
ZL!!!!!
That's part of Zaide's game? Alrighty then
RP!!
Snag that reb.
Just not sure how this team will compete next year. Getting nothing off the bench tonight
Warriors playing great, but the Friars suck.
I know I shouldn't say this...but MU playing decent against undermanned Providence... We win by 30+ despite significant bench minutes at the end.
Tremendous D!!!
That offensive possession was just silly
Damn. 4 chances. Execute to close the 1H.
Quote from: willie warrior on December 31, 2024, 05:46:14 PMWarriors playing great, but the Friars suck.
True point. Not impressed at all by this performance. Al would have been sipping on a Gettleman's by now
No rust. One of our best halves of the season.
Joppppppp!!! Strong 1H for MU.
Wow. That was amazing.
First half synopsis: Wow
I think we might win :-X
Belt to MF'n ass.
Great first half. No let up. Lowry looking good. Imagine when we get scoring from Tre and Damaris. Caedon too.
Quote from: Johnny B on December 31, 2024, 05:50:03 PMI think we might win :-X
I feeling like we could. No let up!
Get it to 35 b by the 16 min mark.
Now that's a half of bball. We joked that MU will win by three, but let's hope the second half "adjustments" are clamping down even more. Good start to the night.
Excellent first half . Healthy squad helps .
Hopefully we cover
Quote from: Daniel on December 31, 2024, 05:51:46 PMGreat first half. No let up. Lowry looking good. Imagine when we get scoring from Tre and Damaris. Caedon too.
Caedon? Is he a walkon?
Let's see if the second half is called completely differently from the first, as we've seen so often.
Weird to hear that TKo is yucking it up with Mr. 49-19.
Just have to keep playing hard D to keep these guys in check.
Quote from: Newsdreams on December 31, 2024, 05:59:52 PMCaedon? Is he a walkon?
You're ruining Scoop for serious ball talkers
This is obviously the bad half
Here comes the Dence
Attack the freaking rim at will.
Not sure what that was from Jop? Trying to be TyKo?
Kam on Double double watch. Triple double needs some work on assists. 16/7/3
Huh, that's not Tyler next to his dad because Tyler's wearing a grey coat
Thank god Stevie has a lot of hair because that looked like a concussion head slam on the floor
Sloppy and it's an 8-possession game
Stop jacking early 3's. Not necessary at all.
Get our starters back in the game.
Norman super flat shot
Warriors now getting very very sloppy.
Going to be a 7-possession game after the TV timeout. What is Shaka doing?!?'b
Those 4 minutes weren't as fun
Quote from: Johnny B on December 31, 2024, 06:17:55 PMNorman super flat shot

Awful 3 mins and a complete loss of focus. Terrible shot selection and we shouldn't have gone with that line-up at the 14 min mark.
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 31, 2024, 06:17:33 PMGet our starters back in the game.
Ok everyone got their minutes. Starters until the 4 min mark. Second unit last 4 min. It's not difficult. We can't just be in free fall for long periods in every second half away from home.

Smart attack from Stevie. All day. Move the ball, attack the rim.
Stevie is so solid.
Have we seen Zaide this half?
He was awesome in the 1st.
It seems like Stevie has touched more PU passes than other Friars
Stevie having fun out there.
Finally seems healthy, love to see it
Benny playing so much more within himself and looks way better when he just lets the shots come to him.
I always thought Ben Gold exemplified MU culture the most also. ::)
That was a confident shot from Benny. I'd like to get it to 38 in the next two mins.
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 31, 2024, 06:23:20 PMAnd just gave up 12-2 run. It's a 40 min game.
And we are back up 30. We're not going to be perfect and if he wants to experiment with lineups there is no better time than up 30 in the second half.

Not gonna lie – I just got home from the Creighton game, saw the score, and was afraid to turn the game on cause I didn't want to jinx anything. 👀

Whoops, I need to clean my glasses. I thought Kam was behind on assists. Actually rebounds Kam is slacking on

I like complete annihilation. But your point is well taken.
Gold really needs to work on his timing. He always jumps way too early on the jump ball and jumped about a second early on that last rebound attempt.
Damn wanted to see a kam step back mid range jumper but went with the weird deep hook

Oh, boy. Here they come
Ben gets anti-Kiwi calls. Is there an Australian officiating or involved?

Tonight, for sure. Would guess it remains inconsistent but he's been wide open tonight. If he knocks down the wide open looks this year, oh boy
This has been a clinic defensively for the most part. You can see the love and cohesion on this MU team.
Tre needs a good final 4 minutes, even if it's just what he did on defense locking up that freak from Prov and knocking it off his knee
It's fitting as we close out a year we get a look at the future

I saw a story that Freemantle has started practicing for X again – I think they'll make the tournament, and Creighton is probably a 60/40 chance as well.
Solid win. Hopefully the guys get a good Italian dinner.
Good look at the future here. These guys plus Gold, Ross and Sean will be good. Not even factoring in the new comers.
Quote from: mileskishnish72 on December 31, 2024, 06:49:57 PMNo walkons?

All in all, Scoop hasn't been too hard on Zaide, given his slow start. Some Scoopers saw it last year - that Zaide had massive upside. I don't recall you being one of them.
In a rare area of agreement, Wadewsorld has been bullish on Zaide since early last year, just as I was.
Zaide's shot has always had nice arc and rotation. He just started the year slowly.
