Euuuuwww Conn Game Thread

[Elonsmusk]

Stopped watching after this post, how much did Marquette lose by?

Lol.  Well done.

[withoutbias]

I heard from a couple posters that we had 0 chance of beating UCONN this year so I skipped it. Hope nobody got too worked up over the results of a game that we never had a chance in.

Well, Hurley said pre-game interview that: "Marquette is tough to prepare for.  They're like a low major with really good players".

Wow.... A low major just beat UConn.   Nice

Not sure if that's an insult or a compliment.  Maybe both.  Leaning toward compliment.

Does Hurley give out compliments?  Ok!   Half time he said we have no answer for the Klingon. We didn't really.  He was right about that.....but...... Gooo Marquette!

As Tyler Kolek would say

F@@k 'em

At that last OB play, I had said to my wife during the ad, Oso should be out. Then he gets fouled, off the ball. Driscoll, of course didn't have the onions to call the intentional, but Oso sank 'em both. Priceless.

Backhanded compliment,  I suppose.

Shaka still 1-4 in 5 point or less games- can't win the close ones.

I was thinking of all the guys behind the baseline he leaves Oso out there to get fouled!  I thought oh no this is a big mistake.  Then Oso sinks both,   Should have been intentional.

As clutch as those FTs were by Oso, I'm not sure that was the right coaching decision to have him out there on that possession, but, a confidence booster and builder for Oso to succeed in that situation.  Great night for the program.

You mean Oso, not OMax, I think.

Yes..fixed.

That was the kind of game that makes me renew season tickets. Great atmosphere, and it wasn't even Senior Night.

Quite an effort by MU to overcome the blocked shots and second chance points.

Honestly woulda thought Marquette lost reading the entirety of this thread.

At no point did it seem like Marquette led at all.

Quote Shaka in the huddle;    "We need to get this lead down to below 5 before the end to improve our record in close games.  So jop, please take a 3 early in the shot clock.  Ty, do one of you great passes poorly, and then near the end, leave a guy open for a 28 ft three!  This is great, the scoopers will be so happy!"

Shaka locker room;   "Darn it Oso, did you have to make ALL OF YOUR FREETHROWS?, we didn't improve the close game record that scoopers are obsessed with!"

Wasn't really following the thread during the game, mainly because it was so stressful to watch. While MU led most of the second half, it never felt to me like we were in control. It seemed like UConn could've taken over at many moments.

Kudos to the team for staying focused and bringing it home!

Thanks Rico & Real Chili 83. This thread was very enjoyable this morning.

Crowd sounds really bad so far, when we were up 20-15 it was crickets, against UConn that shouldn't be the case.

I was at FF like always. Crowd is always louder in person than what TV can pick up. The Ben Gold three to go up 20-15 was not crickets.

Also, I just watch that play in my library for You Tube TV, it wasn't crickets on the Gold make. The next trip down for Uconn didn't have the defense of energy from the crowd as a student section can bring.
