Villanova game thread

I'm going to predict right here and now that we lose this game.

Almost.  But if you predict blowouts by Georgetown and Syracuse, you may not have many arguments.  It could be a very, very ugly week.

Thank God that guy stepped out of bounds...

Nova is going to take down some good teams.  This is a great win.  Fantastic start to the conference!

[MUCam]

My goodness...some of you people seem to be just looking for reasons to rip on Blue.  I just rewound it...not that big of a deal.

Agree it is not that big a deal. However it is still pretty petulant and childish behavior. Grow up and be a leader.

What gives you that idea? They're young, 7-7, and already have some bad losses. If you consider how bad of a loss this game would have been for MU, there's no way you can call it a "great win." This was a game we had to win, and just barely did.

EDIT: I'm probably a dumbass, and your post was /s.

The Warriors definitely have to make more free throws than they're making...this is ridiculous

[MattyWarrior]

We missed like 15 free throws! It should not have been close. Big teams will destroy us!

It comes as no surprise you wouldn't think being a dick is a big deal....

You can't be serious. We were lucky to eke out a home win vs a .500 team. Glad we won but we haven't got much.

Because Nova is a very good program and always recruits top level talent.  We came into the game 1-2 in our last 3.  MU needed the win and Nova is not a door mat.  A great win in my book.  Debbie Downer.

NOVA is not going to be good this year.  They lost Stokes, Fisher, Pena and others from last year and have no seniors.  It will be a long season for them by NOVA prior standards.

A "great" win?  You have got to be kidding.

[DCWarriors04]

Give their freshmen time and by late February they'll be giving people fits.

[MattyWarrior]

Free Throws 23 of 37. Thats terrible.

[tower912]

NERS, I don't think you can drive away Sultan like you did BMA725, but geez....     A win but not a pretty one.   It becomes more clear with every game how much we miss CO.   And free throw shooting is contagious, for better or worse.   Today it was contagious in a bad way.   Need better leadership out of our seniors.   Jae and DJO cannot commit those stupid fouls.

You're delusional, in my book.

"Great" post. Are your other dozen post criticizing people excited about wins?

Not trying to drive Sultan away..at all...just pointing out a reality...as for BMA...that was bizarre..when he just came out of a 1-year hiding to crap on me...never 1 time did he make any mention in any thread or PM that he took exception to anything I posted...guess he was a Chico's disciple apparently..

No, you are making sh*t up.  But I think that reflects poorly upon you so I don't make a big deal out of it.

Are you still drunk or maybe terribly hungover from last night?  That would explain a lot...

Ahh no....didn't drink anything last night...but if you did...could you clarify what you feel it would explain?  Thanks.

Any win is a good win. Look around the country. Look at Wisconsin losing at home to Iowa, Pitt losing at home to Wagner, Kansas losing at K.C. to Davidson, UConn losing to Central Fla., etc., etc., etc. (Not to mention MU losing by 1,000 to Vandy.)

Marquette has a lot of improving to do and I'm not sure it'll happen. I'm enough of a realist to know this isn't a Final Four team, maybe not even a one-win-in-the-tourney team unless we get an awful lot fixed. But jeesh ... we can't even enjoy a win anymore because it wasn't "enough of a win"?

The group of Marquetters I watched the game with sweated it out till the final seconds but we ultimately were happy to have won. That's allowed, right?
