Thank you, guardians, for all you have done for the MU program. Now, beat SJU.
^^^^^^ Absolutely
Maybe the most important class in my MU fandom.
Yup, and I'll be there to cheer them on. Let's go MU!
Let's go out in style seniors! You've more than earned it.
Not 100% sure about this but I believe it might be the 2nd most wins in a 4 year period. 97 and counting.
I'm rolling with the seniors today +715
Kam 15 and 5 with 2 3s(petrified on this leg)
Jop 12 3 boards and 3
Stevie 10 and a 3
Thank you, Wojo, for recruiting Kam and Stevie.
Thank you, Shaka, for retaining and developing them.
And thanks, Shaka, for recruiting and developing Joplin.

Very nice treat if this somehow hits
Tremendous thx to our Seniors.
We've gotta drop the hammer today. This cannot be reiterated enough. Multiply how important you think this game is by 1000. And then add another 1000. I fully expect our best this morning. And our best equals a big win.

He's on his third tequila sunrise of the morning, but at least we got a poop reference.
Let's go now!
CMon. Have to rebound.
Balls are already going through fingers over and over
Have to get that rebound on an air ball. Wake up.
We are actively choosing not to grab the ball
This isn't being out toughed. We are treating rebounds like grenades currently. That board for Zuby for the ut back to go up 7-6 was pathetic.
Ugh getting completely overwhelmed physically. Now Kam tries to match physicality and quickly picks up a foul.
Stupid foul by Kam. Frustrating as Hell when we beat ourselves. Focus.
And now Kam with another stupid foul against these guys. Like cmon
Love the defense scheme so far, but we must rebound, can't give three shots every time down
The effort is there but msn... hang in to a rebound, fight for it. Let's Go Marquette!
A rebound, a rebound, my kingdom for a rebound.
Shaka should recruit some rebounding
Quote from: 21Jumpstreet on March 08, 2025, 11:13:20 AMLove the defense scheme so far, but we must rebound, can't give three shots every time down
That's 4 extra possessions for them already. Where's the tenacity??? Grab and secure the ball.
Cmon Stevie.
Ughhh. Relax and fking hoop guys.
Stevie is looking to do anything but shoot this game.
Why can we never start good at home
Being out efforted and making sloppy mistakes
Stevie forcing in the paint isn't gonna work against this opponent.
If you had no idea you would think its St Johns senior day
Not happy with that foul call against Gold. You could call a foul agains Ejefor every possession down low, they let him be very physical. You can't call a foul against the opposing player when he is physical back.
Need Chase to hit shots today
That was a shooting foul?
Going to be a long day
Awful last 3 mins.
Please for the love of God stop trying to make Tre Norman a thing against a team with 5 fully functional players
Quote from: Daniel on March 08, 2025, 11:19:02 AMNeed Chase to hit shots today
Yep. He needs to score.
Gotta survive the bad half
Total total stink. Especially Mitchell and Gold. Need bangers Shaka. Go out and get some. Earn your astronomical salary.
Let's go now!
Quote from: 21Jumpstreet on March 08, 2025, 11:13:20 AMLove the defense scheme so far, but we must rebound, can't give three shots every time down
This team cant rebound. All year.
Refs were waiting for something to make up that call. Ignored the MU foul
Lets go now
Make a run.
Shocked we got that call on Scott.
Staying positive, but how are we out of position on rebounds every time down the court on both ends
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on March 08, 2025, 11:23:22 AMLets go now
Make a run.
Nevermind
Kam who cant hit water if he fell out of boat from deep all conference season. Jacks that shot. Gives them numbers. Another board and another foul on us
Like cmon
That was a nice dunk!
That could be a huge shot for us. And not just today.
Chase!!!!
Quote from: MuggsyB on March 08, 2025, 11:21:49 AMLet's go now!
This is a horribly designed offense. A bunch of short guys driving into a lane filled with really big guys/defenders?
Ok Chase Ross, keep up the energy!
That was my favorite 20 seconds of this game
Tre Norman last game against UCONN
Comes in, one foul, one turnover, one clanked three pointer
Played two minutes, didn't play again.
Today, comes in and in first thirty seconds, foul two points and bad turnover pass. Two minutes played.
Talk about a liability....
Chase - wow!!!!!
Monster dunk by Chase. Give him a cigar. Hope that gets the team fired up.
Nice jam by chase. Need more steals and break always like that. Tho.... Just slam it in. If he would have missed that tomahawk he'd be out of the game now.
Let's Go Marquette! Defense!
Happy to see Kam hit a couple. Hope it helps unrattle him.
The defensive rebounding >:(
It's time to rebound the basketball. It's also time to get Benny, Chase, and the others involved offensively as well.
Quote from: Daniel on March 08, 2025, 11:26:42 AMNice jam by chase. Need more steals and break always like that. Tho.... Just slam it in. If he would have missed that tomahawk he'd be out if the game now.
Let's Gi Marquette! Defense!
But he didn't and everyone loved it!
Quote from: TheBlackJerryWest on March 08, 2025, 11:25:40 AMThis is a horribly designed offense. A bunch of short guys driving into a lane filled with really big guys/defenders?
Agreed. Need bangers.
Woohoo what a dunk Chase! Dunk of the day so far. Come on Marq, keep it going now
Good fking grief.
LFG!!!!
Joplin with a stupid foul. A senior?
Thank god Jop didn't try one of his dunk attempts
Stop fouling!!
Have to stop fouling. And please grab rebounds.
Getting completely clobbered on the glass.
We got good Jop again besides the butter fingers on two boards. Great offense
Kam should have kicked that. Good effort by Jop.
Tremendous sequence by Jop!!!
That was asking a lot of Parham
Let's GOOOOO!!
Stevie needs a shoe change
Wow. RP not fouled there?
Proud of Jop, kid game to play
Stevie needs to change his sneaks.
Will give Joplin credit. He is only one fighting under the boards.
Hell of a stretch.
Missed a couple bunnies and Stevie has to stop being so instantly timid when he gets ball only to casually fake and drive to nowhere.
But other than that heck of a last 5 or so minutes and the crowd is electric.
What did I miss about Stevie's shoes?
Keep up the hustle on both ends. Let's Go Marquette!
Give Parham the minutes. Gold has disappeared. Parham needs to really hit the weights in off season
Chase is an awful unbounder
That can't happen.
Cmon. Have to inbound the ball
Shoot the ball Ben or Kam.
Get Gold out!
Quote from: CountryRoads on March 08, 2025, 11:38:17 AMChase is an awful unbounder
That was on Gold. Gold needs to release to the back court to give Ross an option after all the primary outlets were covered. Put Ross into an impossible situation.
JFC. Some days we just launch bricks all day.
Now today everyone besides Kam(who probably shouldn't shoot) is looking to do anything but shoot a open 3.
Momentum extinguished immediately
Need a time-out.
Get Gold out of there. Getting his ass killed on defense.
Thatta boy Chase.
This is such a bad matchup for Gold. Liked the lineup with him out. Hope he's back in only for a breather.
Unlike years past we just give up way too many instant runs back in games. We just cant sustain play against good teams
That was a brutal 2 min
Our defense has to take away strong hand attacks at minimum.
Quote from: GoldenWarrior11 on March 08, 2025, 11:40:34 AMThis is such a bad matchup for Gold. Liked the lineup with him out. Hope he's back in only for a breather.
2 on Royce. Ben gonna have to play
Kam needs to stop forcing.
Kam should probably look to pass. He's just throwing sh it up and praying
3 uncontested 3's. Can't make 1.
Wow. Ughh.
What in the absolute Fu ck Kam
At least Jop made the 4th wide open 3.
Never had a thought any of the three 3s would go in
Nice arc there from Jop.
Kaaaammmmbrick and Gooolllldbrick
Man, is anyone talking on the switch?
Bad offense right now. Kam holding the ball way too long.
Kam, Stevie and Ben are trainwrecks right now.
Chase and Jop keeping it afloat.
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on March 08, 2025, 11:44:52 AMKam, Stevie and Ben are trainwrecks right now.
Chase and Jop keeping it afloat.
Biggest trainwreck is Gold, with the other two right behind him. Gold is only a catch and shoot guy.
I think when the postmortem on the season is written, Sean's injury will be the biggest factor that impacted the team this year.

JTY absolutely would have helped this year.
Man. Ben way off. Silly foul by Jop.
We are such a horrific shooting team
These are wide open shots and most are not even close. My Fu CKING god
Now 2 fouls on Jop
Gooollllldddbrick
Quote from: willie warrior on March 08, 2025, 11:46:49 AMBiggest trainwreck is Gold, with the other two right behind him. Gold is only a catch and shoot guy.
...Gold doesn't square up. Everything rushed
Quote from: MuggsyB on March 08, 2025, 11:50:13 AMMan. Ben way off. Silly foul by Jop.
Cheap foul. Thought it looked like an average tap out
It's so hard to watch this team shoot the ball from outside. It's truly painful.
Im told we have 3 pt shooters
Great, Lowery caught the funk
We can't shoot
"Good pass, Wide open.....and missed"
Is quite literally all the announcers say when we take a 3.
They won't ever win games with Gold and Mitchell combining for 2 points in a half
Deja vu fron distance. ZL with two wide open looks.
Quote from: MuggsyB on March 08, 2025, 11:48:35 AMJTY absolutely would have helped this year.
I would've loved to see Kam be able to play off the ball this year - I'm convinced his three-point percentage would've been so much better.
Good take there though.
Matt LeFleur is here to witness Marquette greatness

He would have alleviated a lot of pressure.
Shooters and bangers Shaka. You need some. Better be scouring for them.
Wednesday non Jop 3s we were 0/16
1st half today 2/13
You really couldn't even try to do that.
Quote from: willie warrior on March 08, 2025, 11:53:33 AMShooters and bangers Shaka. You need some. Better be scouring for them.
culture, damn it, culture
Not even making free throws again either. Jesus
Stevie is a great defender, but I don't like smothering Richmond 40 feet from the rim. I would also force him left.
Again one three pointer away from success
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on March 08, 2025, 11:53:39 AMWednesday non Jop 3s we were 0/16

Before you share the endless depths of your wisdom, ask yourself: Do I sound like a dumbass?, Dung Willie
MU played poorly after the 7 min TO. Shaka should have called TO several times to stem the St John's momentum but he never did until 35 seconds to go.
The Johnnies will exert their physicality next half.
Lowery needs to stop deferring on O. Mitchell, Ross, and Gold are no better than he is offensively.
Ejiofor is killing MU. Ben isn't strong enough and he's disadvantaged by perimeter defenders failing to stay in front. I lost count of the number of times MU players got beat on strong hand drives.
MU is definitely playing better than they were earlier in the year.
Parham is going to be really good.
Quote from: willie warrior on March 08, 2025, 11:27:43 AMAgreed. Need bangers.
Another immutable truth revealed only by your enchanting wit, Dung Willie
I counted one forced three. We have to make a few or it's going to be extremely difficult to get this one. We refuse to take shots 5-7 feet fron the rim other than Kam's floaters. We need better and quicker decisions from Kam when he gets in the paint. More ball movement/ball reversal.
Quote from: Norm on March 08, 2025, 11:59:30 AMMU played poorly after the 7 min TO. Shaka should have called TO several times to stem the St John's momentum but he never did until 35 seconds to go.
I called for that Norm. No one listened.
Can somebody explain why he plays Tre Norman?
The next time Ben Gold rolls off of a pick and roll, will be his first

Yes, but why is everyone surprised. It's the usual game plan. Every game. They hit, either win or close game. Miss against good team, lose. Today, 4 for 15, can't believe one point game.
Kam dribbling around key, Gold......oh my, jacking threes by all.
Make some threes, stop giving up layups and easy on the reach in fouls. Can pull this out.
Can do with SJU missing Smith and a hobbled Scott.
Lol if you think Sean Jones would have been the cure for what ails this team
Quote from: muwarrior69 on March 08, 2025, 12:00:26 PMThe Johnnies will exert their physicality next half.
I'm sure the refs will have a home whistle for MU to counteract it ::)

Interesting. Last game I kept getting annoyed that Ben kept rolling to the hoop instead of popping out for a three

He would have helped. Stop attacking members of the diminutive community.
We are witnessing the last home game of a key group of players that have brought Marquette back to national relevance. Be loud and be proud Scoop!
1 pt game with bad shooting.
Finally, a surmoutable lead. Kill em this half boys
Quote from: mugrad_89 on March 08, 2025, 11:52:35 AMI would've loved to see Kam be able to play off the ball this year - I'm convinced his three-point percentage would've been so much better.
Absolutely. Good call. Need a point guard desperately.
Quote from: MuggsyB on March 08, 2025, 12:07:34 PMHe would have helped. Stop attacking members of the diminutive community.
Sean Jones would have made 3s?
No.
2 more open misses by Ben and Kam.
They get a run out. This is unreal
Wide open. 2 bricks.
Missed rebounds. Luis cash
More often than not, games are won by the team that hits their open 3's.
Would love to see the replay of that Stevie foul
Benny!!!
Maybe that gets Benny going.
Jop!!!
Stevie is a disaster driving today. What in the hell was that
WTF is Stevie doing there???
I was not aware boxing out someone face to face was illegal
That foul on gold was BS.
Let's go now.
Ughhh.
STJ so much more athletic and energetic
There is the zero IQ joplin
Why is he just dribbling around top of the key for 12 seconds?
Quote from: jesmu84 on March 08, 2025, 12:19:37 PMSTJ so much more athletic and energetic
They're not more energetic.
'Splain to me why we stand around without anybody cutting to the hoop
St. John's is bumping our guy with the ball all the time and no call. Really. That said, we need to hit shots! We are getting good looks and glad Ben hit one. Let's Go Marquette!
Sloppy.
Chance to take the lead. Desperation airball
Quickly back down 4.
Its been this was for months against the solid teams
Slow down!!!
Kam and Royce both force chip shots.
Move the ball.
That was sweet Kam
It's like our rebounders don't know when to jump and theirs do.
David is having a horrific second half
Quote from: MUEng92 on March 08, 2025, 12:25:42 PMIt's like our rebounders don't know when to jump and theirs do.
That's the frustrating thing.
So many of these boards are us simply not grabbing the ball
Well, we're not going to miss Stevie's offense. Wow brutal
Hit the portal Shaka
This might go down as Stevies worst game offensively at MU on Senior day
He had 5 drives/layups/whatever you call them that wouldn't work at the adaptive basketball rec center
That was an old Kam triple.
A Kam take over???
Im begging
Kam is gonna need some help.
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on March 08, 2025, 12:20:21 PMThey're not more energetic.
You're probably correct
But I can't think of a better explanation for STJs offensive rebounds or MU fouls preventing STJ offensive rebounds
Kam's trying to put this team on his back.

Shortly after I posted that the UCONN game was a great game UCONN went on a run so I think this game sucks
We have to limit our TOs and hopefully force a few more.
Sh it, Kam literally stretching his back
Nice defense out of the timeout
Chase has to get that reb. Fk.
I'm 90% sure out of every time out SJU misses and grabs the board for a putback and/or foul
The lack of rebounding comes down to laziness and lack of blocking out.
What in the Fu ck Stevie.
Total nightmare
No idea why Stevie rushed that.
Thatta boy Ben.
Ben gold sucks man holy hell
We should leave the corner 3 open more often
Cmon Kam you have to make that
Luis taking over
Do you give Kam a quick breather?
Its Kam and Ben vs SJU right now
Good take by Ben. 3 guys are surrounding Kam. Reverse the ball and attack.
Huge foul on Ejifor. Make a run and attack the rim
Good hustle. Keep driving and getting fouls on em!
So many fouls on drives going uncalled
Get Chase and Jop involved.
How can their 7'1" guy make pure FT's and our guards shoot bricks?
MAKE FREE THROWS
Fu cking cmon.
This team is its own worst enemy
Cmon Chase.
Lotta points left out there - missed at the rim, missed FT, missed open 3s
Luis again
FTs matter.
Need this win to avoid potential 7 10 game
Ross bails Luis out completely out of control
Two missed FTs and a 3 we didn't need.
Need a time-out. Out of control the last 3 possessions.
Every single game, nothing changes
Refuses to get momentum
Cant make 3s. Cant make free throws.Bad possessions. Let SJU get control right back
This team has zero killer instinct.
STJ making first shots, getting FT (and making them) or getting 3-4 chances each possession lately.
Not many empty possessions for them lately
How do we miss so many shots right at the rim?
So many missed opportunities
Why Chase? Fk.
Unforgivable
50% from the line today
ANother miss at the rim
And then another failure to inbound by Chase
NOTHING CHANGES
Needed a time-out.
Quote from: forgetful on March 08, 2025, 11:39:45 AMThat was on Gold. Gold needs to release to the back court to give Ross an option after all the primary outlets were covered. Put Ross into an impossible situation.
Whose fault was that one?
How could he complain on that foul?
Suck that Luis. Let's go now!
I love our inbound play.
The mental on this team are just not the same
We cant even get a Senior day home crowd bump to help our shooting and clutch execution for a game.
Same with NMD. Same with X sell out.
Its just not there
Quote from: HowardsWorld on March 08, 2025, 12:37:47 PMThis team is its own worst enemy

Quote from: CountryRoads on March 08, 2025, 12:40:36 PMWhose fault was that one?
The cutters/screeners not making good screens and not cutting hard.
It's like the first 2.5 seconds of our inbounds play aren't intended to get a guy open
Quote from: muhoops1 on March 08, 2025, 12:41:24 PMI love our inbound play.
The inbound turnover - when Marquette came out of a timeout with an eight point lead - is the turning point of this game. It sparked a St John's run in the first half. It deflated the crowd and stymied MU's momentum.
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on March 08, 2025, 12:41:58 PMThis is dumb.

His foot definitely touched over the line after controlling the ball. If that's part of the rule
Heck of a half for Ben
But we cannot get stops now
Gotta get stops.
I won't miss Luis next year
Once again the disparity of what constitutes a foul is large.
They are imposing their will on offense now
Game of runs. Let's start ours now
That's a great move Jop.
Get a stop!
Jop!!
Gotta find a way.
Mid Jop sighting
Just for the record, for all those complaining about rebounding. We are winning the offensive rebounding battle.

It didn't deflate the crowd - it's been loud all game.
We have not been good coming out of timeouts. We need to be solid out of this one and the under 4.
Shaka needs to get a big man this is just sad at this point
Told ya out of time out it'll be a SJU miss and oboard every time
Dammit. Great D by Jop. Stevie needs to get that reb.

JOPPP!!!!
Omg.
That was not Ross' hand that knocked it out
This is incredible from Stevie.
He's 0/7 all within like 5 feet
All time dud game
Ejifor is like an offensive lineman leading guys on drives.
Kam!!!!
Get stops!!
Let's go
LFG!!!
Good shot making, but horrendous offense.
Wilcher made a great play on that 2 on 1.
Come on guys! Gut it out.
MU outrebounding St.J 36-35. My damn eyes are not working correctly today
Need stops. Badly.
4 minutes for our season! Let's go seniors, take us home

He makes a great drive getting to the hoop then throws up the absolute weirdest shot.
Ours for the taking
Do you consider ZL down the stretch for Stevie?

That last one was a great block by Wilcher.

Get a stop and own the final stretch.
OUt of time out
SJu miss. Rebound. Score
Every time
Ughhh.
Ejiofor pushes Gold to the ground with two hands. No call.
Clear foul on Luis
Make your FT
Unglue guy
Every time out completely kills our momentum
SJU just gets back settled and pounds the rim and glass and hits an instant run.
Have to get a stop
Fk!!!
Finally fought for and won a loose ball
Shaka used to preach "multiple efforts". Haven't heard him say it once this year. We could certainly use "multiple efforts" on D this game.
Free throw line may cost us the game
ANother missed free throws. Jesus
Stevie now 0/7 on 2s and 3/5 at the line. Ghastly.
Need Kam or Jop
Execute here. Kam forcing 1 on 3 is tough.
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on March 08, 2025, 01:05:19 PMANother missed free throws. Jesus
Stevie now 0/7 on 2s and 3/5 at the line. Ghastly.
Need Kam or Jop
bench him
Still getting killed on off. rebounds
Unbelievable
WTF was that Kam??
This team is flat out incapable late in games. We get beat every single time
Unreal.
No foul there as Gold is bodied to the ground
Wow gold was pushed with 2 hands.
Quote from: GB Warrior on March 08, 2025, 01:06:12 PMbench him
That means Norman potentially
Stevie would need to be 0/65 for that trade off
Get the fucking ball. El Chokeo by Kam
Wow.
How many times has Gold been absolutely throttled by Ejiofor?
What is there to review? Except Gold getting pushed?
It looked like Gold was fouled by Zuby to me.
Another wide open miss
How the FU CK do you want it Ben
My god. WIDE OPEN
Goooollllldddddbrick
You just have to make those wide open looks.
Couldn't have asked for a better open attempt for Gold
Jop time???
I am just asking for 1 damn clutch shot on this team.
That could not have been any more perfect pass and location. Miss.
Can we even inbound this??
I hope Stevie didn't hit that before it went out
Quote from: MUEng92 on March 08, 2025, 01:10:53 PMI hope Stevie didn't hit that before it went out
I was worried about that too.
Quote from: MUEng92 on March 08, 2025, 01:10:10 PMCouldn't have asked for a better open attempt for Gold
Incapable
If this is a loss, we didn't lose it on the glass or on the defensive end.
We lost it with missing at the rim, at the FT line and wide open 3s
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on March 08, 2025, 01:10:20 PMI am just asking for 1 damn clutch shot on this team.

We haven't gotten one in some time. But we're due.
Kam!!
Make your free throws!!!
Great D Ben
Make our free throws now.
LFG!!!!!
Its gonna be a 1 and 1
And my god I have no idea who I even want taken them
But whoever it is, please make
Inbound the ball without getting trapped. Anything else is gravy
That was an incredible finish from Kam. Focus and finish this game.
Wow.
Make your FT
Cmon Stevie
Nothing matters all day except these free throws
Omg. Great catch from Stevie.
I guess FT's matta, hey
Lol.
So many fouls
This team man. This damn team
Just not clutch.
Someone should assault Jame Breeding. Luis ran over Ross
I don't know what to make of that final 10 seconds?
Refs suck. Win anyway.
Kam just wanted a chance to move into 2nd place in MU scoring in this game
Nice play..
One hell of a no call with Ross getting shoved with 2 hands.
Unreal.
Just a horrendous game from Stevie. 0/7 and 4/7
Then no one wants to shoot and we resort to a wild Ben drive. Unreal
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on March 08, 2025, 01:14:12 PMCmon Stevie

TAMU always said FT's do not matter.
Make your FT and stay on your feet!
Ross thrown down.
Goooollllddddbrick
Luis could have used brass knuckles on that push of Chase and they wouldn't call it
Ross shoved down.
Jop refused to pass to wide open Ross.
Stevie got fouled on the follow
Quote from: Viper on March 08, 2025, 01:16:57 PMTAMU always said FT's do not matter.
Sigh...
The inability of people to understand this is just so bizarre.
I see it's okay to 2-handed shove Stevie in the back on the rebound
Burn Clark's redshirt and put him at the rim.
Quote from: forgetful on March 08, 2025, 01:16:12 PMOne hell of a no call with Ross getting shoved with 2 hands.
Beyond blatant.
You could also have easily called a foul on Ejiofor on Gold's drive too.
Quote from: MUEng92 on March 08, 2025, 01:17:24 PMLuis could have used brass knuckles on that push of Chase and they wouldn't call it

I have no idea how Jop didn't see him.
And it wasn't Jop being selfish considering he didn't chuck a shot himself. Just flat out missed CHase behind him.
FTs.

He looked right at him. My guess is he wanted to get it to Kam.

56% from line is not acceptable
Make free throws - win the game. Our guards suck at the line.
Had a chance to win
Gotta find a way. It's imperative.
Great drive Ben
Now Ben on D!!
Cmon Kam make the free throws.
Ejifor with a forearm shiver to the back. Basketball play
Great sequence by Benny!!!
I had that as 10 on Ejiofor, not 4.
When did it get so fucking hard to make a free throw?
lol this kid can't make a clutch free throw to save his life
Free throws haha
Utterly pathetic.
classic Kam
Ridiculous ft shooting.
Lol
Senior leadership
And SJU immediately drills a jumper for the lead.
Pathetic mental toughness
Ben has been a monster

I did the math before. He's well under 50% in crunch time in his career.
Offensive foul by Luis
Ben is the only player who realizes we are in OT
Seniors determined to lose another clutch game
That's a big 4 point lead
Stop falling down!
Disaster.

Yeah another incompetent moron comment
4 on 3 and 5 on 4....down 4 and we slow it down. Wtf
Free throws mattered in this game
Looks like nobody wants to shoot
Focus Jop. 10 for 20 at the FT stripe cannot happen.

Count that!!
Technical foul and now Ross is out. Filthy ass team
Great. Ross is hurt. Fking brutal.
Ross was fouled. You have to give the shooter space to come down, especially on a fadeaway.
Ross fouled on the shot.
Also, Ross fouled twice before the shot.
These refs are fucking atrocious
Quote from: forgetful on March 08, 2025, 01:31:17 PMRoss was fouled. You have to give the shooter space to come down, especially on a fadeaway.
No the Johnnies are just gritty
I'm continually amazed at how physical teams are allowed to play against Marquette without getting called for fouls.
Not sure how that's not a foul when there's nowhere to land. Isn't that an F-1?
Quote from: The Sultan on March 08, 2025, 01:30:16 PMHe's right. You not only are a child you don't really understand the game.

Then you aren't following the rule book. It is a flagrant 1 if the defender does not allow an airborne shooter to land safely. The defender clearly jumped into Ross and his landing zone. Damn near hit him in the balls with his knee.

That was a microcosm of our season right there. Beat ourselves.
Grab the fucking ball.
Ross was fouled
I guess rebounding kinda matters
Ah well. Fun game.
Just the same thing every game. This team finding ways to lose when it matters.
Waved off our own court on senior day cause we handed them the ball
Told wife before it happened, so predictable
Ridiculous
Just not enough dog, damn good game, we had it, we've had it, need a little more junkyard dog next game
Quote from: Fred Garvin on March 08, 2025, 01:38:00 PMTold wife before it happened, so predictable
Yes, we all believe you told your wife, St.J will miss a shot, Chase will get the rebound, have it stripped, St. J will get a pass and make a shot at the buzzer. Yep.
Quote from: Fred Garvin on March 08, 2025, 01:38:00 PMTold wife before it happened, so predictable
You told your wife that chase would get a D rebound and then for no reason what so ever throw it 2 feet away directly to a sJU guy?
Making it to the second weekend is definitely their ceiling this year
Rebound the f-ing ball. Game after game weak hands. Shame we lost it
Shaka screaming for a Timeout with the ball. They don't give it of course
Ross caught the ball,cradle the ball like your live depends on it. Isn't that how you're supposed to rebound!?
I don't think we win another game. Team and staff just don't have it when it matters. If you look at just 2nd half of season, this ain't even a tournament team
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on March 08, 2025, 01:39:34 PMYou told your wife that chase would get a D rebound and then for no reason what so ever throw it 2 feet away directly to a sJU guy?
No,I meant a missed shot and offensive rebound for the win
Quote from: Fred Garvin on March 08, 2025, 01:42:07 PMNo,I meant a missed shot and offensive rebound for the win

When your guards can't make free throws you deserve to lose the game. Instead of focusing on your next podcast with four listeners, how about hitting the gym for some practice time at the line?

If you're actually stupid enough to think a podcast is impacting free throw shooting, which appears to be the case, I'm not really sure what to say.
Quote from: Norm on March 08, 2025, 11:59:30 AMMU played poorly after the 7 min TO. Shaka should have called TO several times to stem the St John's momentum but he never did until 35 seconds to go.
