Get on track early and take these guys out.
Caedin's first game without a start. Guess Shaka's been reading Scoop.
Nice bucket from RP.
2 quick fouls on Nigel.
Another GD foul on a 3!!!
Let's go Marquette!
Two good dimes from Chase.
Ben has to find his 3-Ball.
DO has an odd looking shot...but hey, if it works for him, all good !
Didn't see UConn game but Ben is really active and aggressive out there. Good to see though Muggsy's point about the 3 ball is well taken.

He's playing solid but has to get the 3-Ball cooking again.
I still think Owens could have a future here but he needs to start showing it or he could very well be on his way out.
Hopefully today is a start. A lot to like about his athletic profile.
Catch the ball Caedin!!
Get Hamilton out of the game.
Quote from: MuggsyB on January 07, 2026, 06:13:36 PMCatch the ball Caedin!!
Just a wide open layup chance. Takes an assist away from Owens. Get him out.
geezus ch
Wow Hamilton. Loses the ball on an excellent pass from DO. Airball from 2 feet...
Oh. My. Goodness. Caedin.
nice hamilton
Hamilton lmfao
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on January 07, 2026, 06:14:19 PMJust a wide open layup chance. Takes an assist away from Owens. Get him out.
He's also just standing there defensively. Glue him to the bench.
Damarius!!
Get Hamilton out.
Another short air ball from Ham What Am.
GET
CAEDIN
OFF
THE
FLOOR!!!!
Fking enough!!
Enough. Clark should get Caedin's mins. Period.
Loved everything from Tre there
Has there even been a + in the +/- for the team when Hamilton has been on the floor?
Chase is a senior and still is often out of control on drives.
Quote from: PointWarrior on January 07, 2026, 06:18:51 PMHas there even been a + in the +/- for the team when Hamilton has been on the floor?
Im astonished people on here claim MU has had clearly worse scholarship bigs in the past. whats that look like

Stop treating this guy like he's a walk on.
Move the basketball.
Our shooting shirts are sweet.
RP out of control.
Who knew airballed layups could be a stat
Nigel has his head down too often. Missing a lot of his teammates
Ughhh.
unnatural carnal knowledge. Be ok Ben
Quote from: JakeBarnes on January 07, 2026, 06:24:39 PMNigel has his head down too often. Missing a lot of his teammates
Yes. Way too much dribbling.
Thatta boy Josh.
Focus Josh. :(
These teams hurt my eyes
Liking pg Chase
So much of this roster seems to embody 'one step forward, two steps back'
Quote from: TSmith34, Inc. on January 07, 2026, 06:27:29 PMThese teams hurt my eyes
I was just thinking the same thing.
Get Owens gack out there.
ALERT: Made layup!!
We get our sh1t blocked so often. smh
Royce was at the top of his jump and was making no motion to shoot. What was his plan on that last play?
please sell shirts with this uni font, MU!
Quote from: Jay Bee on January 07, 2026, 06:29:11 PMWe get our sh1t blocked so often. smh
Poor footwork, don't know when to shot fake, not using any strength or power.
Quote from: MUEng92 on January 07, 2026, 06:29:42 PMRoyce was at the top of his jump and was making no motion to shoot. What was his plan on that last play?
He lost focus.
We just cannot make open threes.
Jerseys are pretty great.
Chase looks...more comfortable
Gold is taking a beating lol
Good attack from Ben there.
Glad ben is back
Hello! Best half from Chase in some time.
How was that not an And 1?
Ben! LFG!
Ben bailed Nigel there
At least they called the third foul on the rebound
Get Owens on the floor.
Glad we are up 26-0
Quote from: JakeBarnes on January 07, 2026, 06:38:04 PMBen bailed Nigel there
Yes. Crazy overdribbling for no reason known to man.
Important 4 mins.
Can someone explain why that block on Gold was not a foul? It looked like he bodied the crape out if Gold in that play.
What's the reason for the nearly unreadable clock?
Help was way late there. FOCUS.
Holy crap did he slam his head
Nice pass, Tre.
Where has this been?
Great dime from Tre.
Just how we drew it up!!!
That was the ugliest positive play I've ever seen
That was glorious
I remember Copa bouncing a missed dunk attempt out to mid court.
Great D by Ben.
Now execute here.
Bucket
Stop
Bucket.
Get to the half +12 or +13.
Nice.

More than once IIRC. Remember seeing it at a game at DePaul.

yes!!...while tossing the RGV bs
Ohhhh....
Still a good close from MU.
If that went in I would have believed that this might be our night
That was nice!
Definitely like to see the smiles on the players' faces end of 1H.
Granted, I'm on glass of Merlot #2...but is there some hope on this season??? Maybe steal a few W's no one expects?
Providence up 10 on UCONN at the half.
Some interesting combos out there tonight.
Quote from: Viper on January 07, 2026, 06:55:21 PMGranted, I'm on glass of Merlot #2...but is there some hope on this season??? Maybe steal a few W's no one expects?
Hope starts with sitting Caedin the rest of the season. Those few mins he played should slam the door on this subject.
Quote from: mileskishnish72 on January 07, 2026, 06:56:45 PMSome interesting combos out there tonight.
Chase played by far his best half. Good to see him move to the Point for a stretch.
"We did not anticipate a good shooting performance...". Can't help but laugh
Only 3 minutes for CH helps
Quote from: Viper on January 07, 2026, 06:55:21 PMGranted, I'm on glass of Merlot #2...but is there some hope on this season??? Maybe steal a few W's no one expects?
5-15 in conference and 20+ losses isn't "hopeful." But this is nice
Quote from: TSmith34, Inc. on January 07, 2026, 06:59:01 PMOnly 3 minutes for CH helps
They were still shockingly bad minutes though
MU continuing to show improvement. Gold really gives it what he has. I appreciate Stevens taking it for the dunk attempt. No namby-pamby stuff. Phillips plays aggressively for a string bean. It was a fun half.

continuing?? :-\
Ben misses again. Get hamilton in now!!
Nothing there. Bad decision by Chase.
Nothing there. Bad decision by James
Ben is thinking too much on his 3's.
Stevens needs to attack the rim more in open space.
Am I hallucinating or was that 2 straight made layups?
Two in a row at the rim!
Quote from: MuggsyB on January 07, 2026, 07:13:48 PMStevens needs to attack the rim more in open space.
I have been liking his defense tonight
Ran at halftime to grab Panda Express mushroom chicken bowl. It's pretty good. Now back to the game.
Brunson would help us. :)

Be safe.
Royce fouled on that reb.
Parham was totally held trying to get the loose ball
Better tenacity and activity defensively.
Quote from: MuggsyB on January 07, 2026, 07:12:11 PMBen is thinking too much on his 3's.
Agree with tower that he is on his heels.

Totally
Caedin!
Okay. Now get him off the floor.
Flop...
Caedin got away with a foul there.
Nice to see Hamilton get a block
Caiden with a nice block.
Nice.
Norman has played well. Good energy.
Tre getting some nice mins.
Seems like we've gotten a few calls. Thought the last ball was off us
4 is an annoying whiner
I believe.
Gah.
Ben still hedging too far out. I like how Clark chases them out past the circle and then heads back to the paint.
We're going to have to lace a few J's down the stretch.
Count that!
Let's go now!
Two great oob plays.
Marquette fans in 2026 🤝 A virgin on prom night

This game is long from over and X is bad, but we've done a few good things today.
Know the rules
Sweet Jesus. Pick up the ball.
Is there a Kenpom threshold at which storming the court becomes illegal? If not, tonight's the night!
Total mental breakdown.
Well that series sucked
Fragility showing in 10 seconds of game time
Shaka not happy Phillips thought he had to dive for that
Someone needs to deck #4.
Wow. Some mistakes and it's down to 5. Dang. We were up 13. Let's Go Marquette!!
Wow. Turns absolutely killing us.
James is blinding fast
Holy Hell.
We look super disjointed right now.
Just absolutely hilarious.
0-20 is real if we can't win this game.
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on January 07, 2026, 07:41:24 PMJust absolutely hilarious.

100%
Need to refocus.
Let's see if we can right the ship. Would be a positive sign.
Let's not let the mental end of this game get us again.. fight and get your heads into this
We look disjointed 75% of every game!
I miss the times of being jointed
Let's Go Marqueete! Big run for MU. Let's Go !!
Let's go now! Get a bucket here.
Focus RP. Knock two down.
Great news: We've passed the halfway point of the regular season!!!
Hamilton and Norman on the court at the same time, really
Fk.
We dribble a crazy amount. I don't get it. Move the freaking ball.
Good lord the free throws aren't close
Ughhh. Free throws.
What is Tre doing in the game
What is the point of Hamilton in a 3 point game?
FT's matta.
Now fking execute. 3rd possession with the ball up 4.
Quote from: BCHoopster on January 07, 2026, 07:47:30 PMHamilton and Norman on the court at the same time, really
being showcased for possible new teams😆
Parham has to grab that ball. Two fking hands.
Chase, don't crack the backboard, hey
James leaves and the offense disappears
This is a must win game and there is just nothing from this team. Just a whole lot of blah.
Deja Vu. Will we score again?
Tre Norman.
(https://content.presentermedia.com/files/animsp/00012000/12281/door_opening_up_lg_wm.gif)
Focus Chase.
Up double digits in the second half again, will we FINALLY pull it out. I think yes
Such ugly basketball. Our shots are rarely close.
Love the hustle Norman but stop faking getting fouled
It's Arc not Arch dude.
Chase!!! LFG!
Tre's missed FTs look intentional lol
Were very fortunate the ball always seems to bounce back to us lately
Was that a foul?
Quote from: Johnny B on January 07, 2026, 07:55:20 PMWere very fortunate the ball always seems to bounce back to us lately
So fortunate and really the only reason we are still winning
Quote from: MuggsyB on January 07, 2026, 07:55:55 PMWas that a foul?
Looked like he hit the shooting hand
Already starting to take the air out of the ball
Gold wasn't tripped?
Good lord, the same terrible play back to back with Chase and Ben
Quote from: Johnny B on January 07, 2026, 07:55:20 PMWere very fortunate the ball always seems to bounce back to us lately
Amazing how a little extra effort makes that happen
Chase passes it at Ben's feet 2 times.
This is hard to watch. Gonna have to luck out and hold on. The offense has become a turnover convention.
Keep attacking! Do not take the air out of the ball. Be intentional, and be aggressive.
I honestly feel X has to give MU the game. MU is poised to choke it away
Quote from: 21Jumpstreet on January 07, 2026, 07:59:08 PMKeep attacking! Do not take the air out of the ball. Be intentional, and be aggressive.
This is a bad passing team Jump. It leads to overdribbling and a horror show. We just have to find some way to hold on.
Don't gag this away!

We sure are, Muggs, but we have to keep attacking.
Fk.
RP!
I hate sports
7th turn for Chase. Unreal.
Chase is awesome but he cost us 9 points by not hustling
Oh boy
Quote from: MUEng92 on January 07, 2026, 07:59:28 PMI honestly feel X has to give MU the game. MU is poised to choke it away
cant disagree with your assessment
Chase must be on the take lol
Why is Norman on the court?

otherway around honestly. X is worse and barely looks like they care.
Who said that Carroll's muscle and X's 3 point shooting would be too much for MU to handle.
I repeat Chase is in the take
Quote from: MarquetteMike1977 on January 07, 2026, 08:03:32 PMChase must be on the take lol
ensuring the Crowne ain't happening
Omg wtf is Chase doing????
Ross has gotten atop throwing it at Ben's feet
Chase apparently thinks Ben Gold is 3 feet tall
So painful to watch
Play team ball
Royce and especially Chase simply have zero ability to go and get a bucket. Every non-NJ player on offense has no bag beyond an aimless drive.
Shoutout NJ our one and only go-getter
Let's GOOO!!! Get a stop.
Ben had hustled his but off this game
If only someone could not pass at his feet
Nigel James is the only player on this team I consistently see embodies "MU" basketball. Just is always hustling.

And 50%+ of his drives are into 3 guys and he gets lost
Atrocious basketball

Those were 3 of the worst passes I've ever seen.
Odd decision by lil rick.
Chase has lost all mojo. How do you miss that
Wow our seniors really choke down the stretch more often than not.
Whew.
Well, that was disgusting.
Just perfect that the first win is by missing the last 4 shots
Win is a win. Enjoy one while it lasts.
Yikes. Even when its a win it still feels like a L
Whew!
We've turned the corner! RGV is Real!
MU needed a win in the worst way, and that's exactly what they got.
Gold, , James, and Norman (although terrible basketball wise) all made bunch of great hustle plays
Quote from: MUEng92 on January 07, 2026, 08:10:25 PMJust perfect that the first win is by missing the last 4 shots

Offensive rebounds off crazy bad misses. On purpose?

Credit where credit is due...Norman had some huge rebounds in that game that likely resulted in the win. Good job, kid.
