Here are the best posts from last night's game against DePaul - a game in which Marquette never trailed and won by double-digits.

Quote from: Warrior of Law on February 11, 2025, 08:17:50 PMThat was the worst end of a half in MU history. Total fools
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on February 11, 2025, 08:18:09 PMThis team is flat out embarrassing.
Quote from: PointWarrior on February 11, 2025, 08:22:29 PMand this season is smelling a lot like the 2019-2020 letter writing season, possibly worse if they lose this game.

Quote from: BCHoopster on February 11, 2025, 08:45:37 PMI am confused how there are so many easy shots in the middle and they just want to jack up threes, coaching?
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on February 11, 2025, 09:13:42 PMShaka is gonna full line change while in a late game collapse??
Like we are actively taking Kam Jones out to put in Tre Norman and Caedin Hamilton??
Has he quit too??
Quote from: BCHoopster on February 11, 2025, 09:15:30 PMIncredible bad!
Quote from: CountryRoads on February 11, 2025, 09:25:17 PMKam is downright pathetic at the line. It's not skill or mental. He just doesn't take his time or focus.

Another Wingdings ass free game thread means they won

Disappointed there was no Willard

He pooped in at halftime to drop a "hmmmmmmmmm" but then they went up by 16 and he was sad he couldn't get mad and then the lead got down to 8 but he was so drunk at that point he forgot his password and fell asleep
Kind of think his wife uses his pennant as a metaphor for willie himself.
How could you not add this gem from Muggsy?

No, it did not. Perhaps a Scoop contingent should address the team?
The usual suspects that embarrass themselves every game thread combined with the Eeyore's that have reappeared in the last 2 weeks. Not really surprising.
You missed Bee Jay's premature self-fellatio
Kam is one of my favorite players ever at MU. To provide some context on my comment that made the cut regarding Kam's free throws in late games... here are the stats for him the last three seasons in free throws taken within the last 4 mins of a game when we are winning by less than 10 points (ie clutch free throws):
2022-2023
@villanova: 0/1
Providence: 1/2
Villanova: 2/2
Butler: 0/2
@Creighton: 2/4
DePaul: 1/2
SJU: 1/2
Season Total: 7/15 (47%)
2023-2024
Creighton: 0/1
@Xavier: 0/1
Villanova: 2/2
Providence: 1/2
Season Total: 3/6 (50%)
2024-2025
@Maryland: 0/2
@Xavier: 3/4
Creighton: 2/2
@DePaul: 1/2
DePaul: 0/1
Season Total: 6/11 (55%)
Grand Total: 16/32 (50%)
Oftentimes, the TV broadcast can barely get all their graphics up on the screen before he is already hoisting it up there, hence the comment about not taking his time. Shaka gave him a "C'mon really?" look of bewilderment after he missed the free throw last night which prompted my comment. So, as Jim Calhoun would say, get some facts and come back to me next time. I maybe could have used nicer language though.

Does that include the Eeyores who observed a couple of weeks ago that the team was not playing like a top 20 team when the analytics show that, in fact, they weren't. And that it hasn't gotten better since then.

I think you know the answer if you have to ask if you're being an Eeyore.

It was a mixed night for wisblue. He was nervous when Marquette pushed it to 16 but posting when it got back down to 8.
Marquette won but didn't cover, so a mixed bag for him
At least Rivera (Balki from Mypos) didn't go off!

He gets to update his ATS stats and remind everyone that he doesn't gamble.
I believe there were 37 games last night and MU landed 35th in terms of KenPom "Thrill Score"... lowest expected win probability was 90%. Terrible night from 3 and still an easy W.
Just win baby.
