St John's thoughts

[tower912]

MU got outworked today.
They played like they expected it to be easy.
SJU played harder. 
As opposed to Rutgers, who deserved their fate, SJU probably deserved this game.   
Gardner played like his girlfriend just dumped him.
FT shooting is like a norovirus, for better or worse. 
STjr is going to be really good by the end of his MU career.
I thought Lavin outcoached Buzz. 
Buzz went man when the zone was working. 
Buzz had his players attacking the shotblocker without getting into his body.   
*Take the road win, enjoy the BEast championship.*

Ox has a broad? Love to be a fly on the wall.

Lavin is a good coach with good talent
The young guys on his team stepped up to the occasion after the others were disciplined
Buzz did a hell of a job too, but that has been the case all season.
Vander...clutch.
I honestly am not surprised by how close the game was.
I am not sure if these Zubaz pants I just bought are why it was so close or why we won
Savor it.

More Steve Taylor....less Todd Mayo.

Good win for you guys.
Great to see  C-7 on top of the BE.
We'll be very competitive next year.
Hope to join you guys near the top.


We ARE........................................St. John's

tominsalem, you guys played a heckuva game.   Not many teams have outworked MU this year, but you certainly did.  Let's have some fun next year.

My St. John's thoughts...

BIG EAST CHAMPIONS!

[PGsHeroes32]

St. Johns will be fucking tough next year.

Sampson and Harrison are great. Obpeka even if he doesn't learn offense is a game changer. Greene and Pointer are solid. Athletic squad.

That white boy should permanently ride the pine though.

That white boy is our best 3 point shooter.
Not his day today.

Wickett,  I have suffered through all of your MU pseudo bashing/not giving them their due attitude.  And yet with few options available to me in the Milwaukee market for sports reporting, have given your AM station a chance to objectively, give credit where credit is due, specifically in regard to the MU basketball team. I am pretty sure I am in your station's demographic, 41, male, Etc... This is your chance to have an authentic discussion of a legitimate basketball storyline, Big East regular season champion Marquette University Basketball team.  Hopefully your professional acumen to such matters will shine as you have an opportunity to give credit to an MU team that has a season to remember and a first time Big East  regular title.  You were wrong when you said MU would lose one of their last two games, please acknowledge as such.

Sent to 1250 AM, probably won't do much

Take the win and get out of dodge.  Congrats to the MU players.

Almost a choke job of ages, but they came through.  Cannot play like this against what looks like the CUSE next week. 

Have a great flight back and enjoy.  Awesome season in the BE.

[PGsHeroes32]

We can't play Cuse can we? They have the Tiebreaker over ND giving them the 5. If ND wins....we get the 2 seed over UL

[Golden Avalanche]

Greene and Sampson were ridiculous from the elbow. So impressive.

Branch abused Cadougan and got to rim at will late second half.

Not sure what will happen with the Johnnies. Got to think Sampson will get ROY and some looks at the league. Harrison is a 50/50. Good of him to be there today but not sure he's totally bought in. God's Gift is on redshirt and returns. Could be an active summer.

Either way, it's a program you want to be affiliated with and happy for that to continue.

[PGsHeroes32]

Totally forgot about Gods Gift as well. Wow.

ND getting spanked now.  Bracket on TV displayed MU against CUSE if Cuse wins first BE game.  Then Loserville as two seed.

Yeah but that was because ND is 11-6 currently and Cuse is 11-7. That was as of right now. If both go 11-7, Cuse beat them so they should own the tiebreaker.

I think we are getting ND.

Great points.  Assuming Harrison returns St John's should be a tourney team next season.  Could very well vie for a Big East title.

OK, we'll see.  ND better than CUSE for me. 

[Montana Warrior]

Gardner played like his girlfriend just dumped him.

Gardner played like he wolfed down a family-sized pizza before the game.  Has he put on weight?  He's too fat!  Played in slow motion today.

DG had five turnovers and four fouls today.  Not a good day for the young fella.

Does Cooley still have the drizzle sh1ts?

Funny you say that. I read he went to a NY Deli yesterday and pounded down two of those monster reuben sandwiches. One is enough to put a man down for days.

[muwarrior69]

The whole team appeared to be playing in slow motion. Both Rutgers and St. Johns out hustled us the last two games. Our weakness is pressure defense. So far it has not caught up with us.
