Most importantly, we must spell game correctly!

There were jokes in that one and we know how muggsy does with jokes. Need a thread full of angst and vitriol.
I got
Kam 6+ dimes
Jop 12+ and 2+ 3s
Ross 1 3
+343. Think I can win??
I'm a mad man putting it all on Jop. But his mothers story today inspired me.
This Loyola / Davidson ending is why college basketball can be unbearable at times.
C'mon Davidson, lose with dignity already

100% WTF???? It's an 8pt game with 10 secs left!!! +8 with the ball?? Ughhh.
That 9 seconds lasted 45
I'm already pissed. Eight-point game, 25 seconds left, and they're fouling! At least it won't be the usual OT game that precedes ours.
No one cares about the A-10 standings. Get rid of this game. NOW!!
Looking at the a10 standings, How did Marquette lose to Dayton, ugh
Very curious to see how we come out of the gates tonight.
Is anyone's feed off???
Can someone tell me why they're retiring Jim Chones's jersey? Im not that cultured when it comes to the ancient days of Marquette Basketball.
Everyone's favorite, Steve Lappas!
Lappas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Guillen

Because he was a very good basketball player.
What word did he use when saying what Seton Hall could take from their last game?
My feed is way off. WTF??? Sound is about 3 secs ahead.
I hate CBSSN, and Lappas.
Let's Go Marquette!!
Cmon Ben.
Ben already hurt. Ugh
I mean great play
But I have no idea wtf that shot was by Ben
Figures. Terrible break there.
Are they checking Ben's pick?

Nice. Good possession there.
Nice D Tre
Not a good drive, Z.
Man...we do that a lot. Slow down and finish that ZaIde, or if it's not there, bring it back out.
Ben rebound count.

Lowery!!
ZZZZZZ!!! LFG!!
Oh dear Jop
Gold rolling to the basket tonight
Does Jop think he's Vince Carter?
Jolp dunk again.
Nice to see Chase give that up.
Zaide has shown up tonight. Even his miss was half way down
WOW! A successful lob!
(https://media.tenor.com/T4z9Q306tBoAAAAM/who-would-have-thought-neil-degrasse-tyson.gif)
I've missed those.
Kam's shot looks better, even on the miss.
BG update.
(https://media.tenor.com/8mn-qJqothsAAAAM/two-marques-brownlee.gif)
I hope Ben gets 18 rebounds so you have to struggle to find gifs
Hmmmm.... ::) Trying to think of something snarky to say to make Sultan's greatest hits thread after the game.
That was a shooting foul?
Chase has to pull the trigger right away on that
WTH was that?
Zaide needs to play more alongside Chase if Stevie starts slow and isn't impacting the game.
We always know Stevie will show up in the end, but let Zaide get some run!
I like the new rule change that allows MU to make shots from behind the 3 pt line
Bam. I didn't expect Chase to unload there.
Kam has still being a complete brick layer from deep is just not going to stop being annoying
Nice to see Chase finally not pump fake and just drill it though
Quote from: MUEng92 on February 18, 2025, 08:38:18 PMI like the new rule change that allows MU to make shots from behind the 3 pt line
Well that possession when Kam drove and kicked to RP was nice. That's called a rhythm trifecta.

Most dominant big man in MU history!
Wrong Shaheen.
Caedin is nightmare fuel
That was a lot of movement by Caiden
Come on Caedin. Kick it out there.
Heck of a play there by Owens
stream?
Nice!!! DO with a zip dime!
Wow, Stevie sold that
Quote from: MuggsyB on February 18, 2025, 08:39:22 PMWell that possession when Kam drove and kicked to RP was nice. That's called a rhythm trifecta.
So Kam and Royce are using the rhythm method?
Is tnite the Jim Chones jersey retirement ceremony?
Quote from: TSmith34, Inc. on February 18, 2025, 08:43:17 PMSo Kam and Royce are using the rhythm method?
See, that crossed my mind but I immediately pushed it out of my mind. Then you brought it back to my mind
Dear Caedin,
Dunk the ball.
Yours, The crowd
Would like to see Owens score..... hr could use it for confidence. Hamilton.... Slam it! Team looking decent right now. Clunking some three.... But made a few., need Benny to get going. We need points from him Go Marquette!
Quote from: TSmith34, Inc. on February 18, 2025, 08:43:17 PMSo Kam and Royce are using the rhythm method?
I don't know what that means. I just saw a drive and kick right into RP's shooting pocket. We need more of that.
Caedin going off the bounce isn't ideal.
Can we uhhhh get Caedin out of the damn game?/
Put Jop back in.
F
Hopefully Stevie is okay.

Stevie better be OK.
DO!!
Kams 3 assists are on 3s by Parham, Owens and Lowery. That's nice
That was a Kiss the Sky J from Owens.
Glad Owens got that three! Go Marquette.... No let up....

His passes are perfectly leading them into their shots.
6/13 from 3. Love it!
I stop by and read some comments and think MU is down 15, not up 15
Quote from: MuggsyB on February 18, 2025, 08:50:25 PMDO!!
Nice to see Owens hit a shot and Caedin getting 2 baskets even though he turned over twice
Did I miss a play? 3 FT's?
Stevie smiling and joking on the bench using both hands to open a water bottle. Thank god.

I don't see a lot of rotation on Kam's triples.
How in the world did SH beat UConn? Wow!

But we are looking much more sound. Role player triples help that.

Classic. The 1 game Jop doesn't shoot
Lost the cover for halftime. No hair of the half
Why do MU brains shut down with 10 seconds left in first halves?
Dammit. Should be up 21.
Nice finish, offensively and defensively.
Quote from: MUEng92 on February 18, 2025, 09:02:49 PMWhy do MU brains shut down with 10 seconds left in first halves?
Total lack of focus.
Well..... that was a poor finish to the half that otherwise was solid and great bench points Go Marquette!
Let's go Marquette! Second half here we come!
Were killing them. it doesn't matter. Joplins lack of defense tonight has given Hall 10 of their 23 points
Quote from: MuggsyB on February 18, 2025, 09:03:30 PMTotal lack of focus.

Second half team
I thought everyone played pretty well in the 1st half. But Ben really needs to see the ball go in the hoop.

And Dung Willie, warriors141, Warrior of Law, etc. etc. aren't even here!
Just woke up after touching Newsdreams bong pregame, did I miss anything?
Looked like in big East play Kam was starting to develop a bit of a hitch in his 3P shot, not sure if it was a bad habit that turned into bad technique or just a lack of confidence but it looks much better tonight.
Quote from: MU2007 on February 18, 2025, 09:09:48 PMLooked like in big East play Kam was starting to develop a bit of a hitch in his 3P shot, not sure if it was a bad habit that turned into bad technique or just a lack of confidence but it looks much better tonight.
I think he's always had that. He's just missing. It's coming along though.
So, who took the spread? I don't gamble, just wondering.
So are we getting positive vibes from playing this vastly inferior team?
Congrats to Jim Chones, he was a big part of my time in MKE.
BENNY!!
Finally. Maybe that gets Ben going.
Did that SH shot hit the rim?
Weak student section performance

Ross with the finishing craftiness of kam would be a lotto pick

Quote from: MUEng92 on February 18, 2025, 09:29:09 PMWhoa, I thought SH's 3 was a swish.
Same. Time to stop thr sleepwalking. Get the younger guys in for some minutes. Theyve been intense on both ends.
I'd like to see Ben get a dunk. He also gets rid of the ball immediately if he's being guarded. Square to the rim and survey the floor.
Ben's best game in a month
That's it Ben..
Ben with the drive!
Thought Middleton went to DC
That's some good stuff from Ben.
Who is more pissed about SH's performance tonight? SH fans or UCONN fans?
(https://media.tenor.com/qGBOU89nhrUAAAAC/joker-six.gif)
Too early for a double double watch for Ben? 5 & 6
8 & 6
BENNY!!
Tre is darn good when he doesn't shoot 3s!
Tre!!!!! That was awesome!!
The "get right" game. Finally
Jop fell asleep there.
Tre from the line is tough.
SH is really good at having shots look awesome 95% of the way to the hoop and then turning horrible at the last second
Even the misses from 3 are much closer tonight
No concession stand offering of the game when PGsHeroes parlay doesn't hit
Don't settle. Win by 40 and hold them under 50
Great cut by DO.
Joplin slopin
Once again, another BOOB failure.
I'm not sure why RP is sitting.
Quote from: MuggsyB on February 18, 2025, 09:50:28 PMI'm not sure why RP is sitting.
A 30 point lead and you're wondering why Shaka is playing who he is playing?
Stevie, have a plan with the ball
Played pick up ball against Chones when living in Cleveland. A very large human. Talked Marquette with him, he loved the school.
WTF???
I really hope clark can do something out there cause damn
Loss of focus!!!
Quote from: TSmith34, Inc. on February 18, 2025, 09:52:54 PMA 30 point lead and you're wondering why Shaka is playing who he is playing?
Yes. Because RP was playing well and Caedin is loose with the ball.
10 & 6
NICE!!! Way to attack Ben.
C'mon Ben, get your butt in the lane and get your double double
The Hall is pretty awful. But there have been a number of positives tonight.
27 bench points. Nice
Owens!
Owens has serious upside.
Focus Tre, knock them down.

He has to get a bit lower on his dribble but he sees tbe floor, has a good looking J, and solid overall bounce.

Norman needs a shooting coach. His form and flat trajectory are never going to produce a high percentage either from 3 or the foul line.
If he could get some semblance of an outside shot to complement his drives and cuts to the basket he could be a useful offensive player to go with the defense.

Muggs, being sarcastic, I assume? We're ecstatic our 6'11" jr big went for 10/6 vs the leagues bottom feeder, but ok, it's a start. 12/8 on Friday doable? Will probably need it to win.

I know nobody will believe me, but I went to the Creighton game early and watched shootaround for a good 20 minutes. In that time, I watched Tre hit at least 80% of at least 40 3PAs. His shot looked completely different than it does in games. He was making so many it almost made me angry. Hopefully with an offseason he can figure out how to shoot with the lights on.
I swear it happened, SaveOD can vouch for me

Why would we think you're lying? It's a different world once the ball gets tossed for the opening tip.
We had a player like that on the HS team I assistant-coached. During practices, I would pass to her and rebound for her as she moved around the arc, swishing one 3 after another. But she didn't even shoot 20% in games.
And didn't Shaq always claim he made most of his FTs in practice?
