SDSU game thread

Simply can't miss that many bunnies and win. Frustrating.

If only the refs didn't force us to miss all those FTs.

If only the refs didn't force Jake to call timeout because he couldn't inbound the ball and then promptly turn it over for a SDSU layup coming out of the timeout.

If only the refs didn't force Jamil to call timeout because he got trapped in the corner and then promptly turn it over by traveling while receiving the inbound pass out of the timeout.

If only the refs didn't force Derrick to put up a triple-nada in the second half. And to get thrashed by the opposing PG most of the night.

If only the refs hadn't forced Jamil to mentally check out about 30 times tonight.

If only the refs hadn't forced Buzz to pull Burton out of the game when the kid was unstoppable.

If only the refs hadn't forced us to miss all but one of our 3-point attempts.

Damn refs. They killed us!

We should have won the game regardless. Handing SDSU 4 points in a tie game didn't do us any favors, however. Billed like a neutral, played like a road.

Great game!  I've followed Marquette for years, and yes I know where Marquette is located.

Frankly some comments on here are disappointing.  Please give our team some credit.  We lost three starters and 70% of our offense from last year's team.  We are young and improving.

Marquette lost to a very good team tonight.  The Aztecs lead for 95% of the game.  And oh by the way, Marquette and Creighton were picked to finish #1 and #3 in the Big East.  The Aztecs beat both in three days.  Interesting stat: Fisher's Aztecs are now 97-0 when leading at the 5:00 mark; that stat is crazy.

And stop blaming the refs.  They were bad both ways.  Example: Josh Davis was not out of bounds when he stole the ball and was on the floor.

Good luck in the BE!

One solution and one solution only:

WE NEED DUANE!

I really hope you're kidding. Because if you're not, you should be kidding.

Take a look at the rolling eyes....Yes I am kidding...haha...

Regardless of the excuses, they beat us. I could give a sh## that "we should have won". If we should have won we would have. It's a loss, move on.

I think butler was better than asu and sdsu.  There is a lot of disrespect for San Diego state in this board right now, but I think they played harder than Marquette did throughout the game and that had as much to do with the outcome as anything. 

SDSU played hard, no doubt.  They're a quality team.  Thames killed us all night long

Congrats on the win. But please stop talking about Josh Davis at 11 minutes left in the 2nd half when two back-to-back calls in the waning minutes of the game could have been difference makers. SDSU is a good team as is MU. It didn't go our way. The refs didn't help (nor did any of the mental lapses MU made). You guys won. We'll live to play another day. I hope to see you in March.

Agree the late turnover call at the 3:00 mark (when it actually hit off an Aztec foot) was awful.  Aztecs were up by 2 at the time.  It lead to an Aztec jump shot and we never looked back.  Yes, I expect both teams will make the Tourney. (The Davis call was at the 7:30 mark and it lead to a 4 point run by Creighton, which took the lead for the first time since the opening minutes.)

It just doesn't sit well with me, because I felt the refs helped you guys out on Friday night against Creighton as well.  When you had the three point lead late and Creighton drove, the refs swallowed their whistle on everything, and normally that is the point in the game where they are tight with their whistle, especially when the trailing team is trying to score inside.
