1.  Nice crowd.   
2.  Duane got some run at the point.   Yay.
3.  Apparently, MU does need Carlino.
4.  Just a thorough beat down.

5. Watching this team requires significant alcohol intake.

6.  Second worst offensively efficient game this century

MUBB is done as we know it at least this year.

Would've been the worst with the chucker Car3no in the lineup then, aina?

Thank you Burt, Thank you Wojo.

If he started at PG perhaps, but this is just not the worst Marquette offense I have seen in memory, but it is the worst in the Big East in three seasons and one of the three worst since 2010 in conference of any BE team, per Pomeroy.

7. We stink, we stink like a toilet filled with the aftermath of an adventurous Indian food take out night.

But JJJ played 25+ minutes....

[CTWarrior]

We have some nice pieces but we're not there yet. 
Without a floor spacer like Carlino, you need a creator at PG and I think we can all agree at least that Derrick is not that. 
Duane and JJJ can attack but are not finishers yet (I feel very good that they both will be before they are done with college BB).  When Derrick sat last night we were even more of a mess on offense. 
Luke has a deft touch and a few post moves, but is not nearly strong enough to play the type of game he wants to play. 
Sandy had a bad night, but will morph into a very useful player (think Juan Anderson with an offensive game). 
Taylor didn't do much yesterday, but I still like him as a rebounder.  When he gets his hands on the ball he seems to always corral it. 
Juan is hopeless on offense, but for me at least, he is impossible not to like because he plays his heart out always, and always defends.

Just an incomplete team.  We will be better next year, but we need a true ready to go PG and a new sniper.

Juan was 5-7 last night.  Wish we had more "hopeless" players like him.  No, he isn't a creator, but he knows how to pick his spots.

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

That game was putrid.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Carling was sorely missed.

1.  Nice crowd.   

I realize this question may open me up to some derision, but where were the students last night?  The seats behind the band were vitutally empty.  I'm not particularly plugged into campus happenings, but was there something else going on last night?

Did you miss seeing this?

So, the fourth home loss in a row is the longest since 1963.  What an entitled fanbase we are, aina?

Next year's team will be sorely in need of at least one outside shooter.  Cohen and Duane have potential.  Henry and Haanif are considered decent shooters.  But this game should give you an indication of how ugly next year can be if they don't have anyone who can stretch the defense.

[3Mer]

Yep.  Sorry. 

Very concerning.

[T-Bone]

The first ten minutes of the game Luke didnt let Uberbrook get the ball inside the paint.  After that, I have no idea what happened.

And Luke's offense disappeared even more than his defense.

In the first 5 minutes, Luke was 3-3 and dominating inside.  The guards kept getting the ball inside to him, but from that point on he was 0-6, missing many shots badly - some off the side of the backboard.  And on many other point blank opportunities, he didn't even get a shot off - traveling, offensive fouls, kicking it back out instead of taking it right at the D.

Students, if taking the traditional course, are only there for 4 years and not every student comes in a die hard college basketball fan. Two of the classes currently at Marquette, Freshman and Sophomore have never experienced a winning team, the Juniors and Seniors got spoiled with a Sweet Sixteen and an Elite Eight and were expecting more last year but with the departure of Blue the team did not live up to expectations.

While we have great alumni support, that support has been generated by years of being associated with Marquette and really identifying with the university. These kids are still building that connection. When I started in 99 you couldn't give away a student section ticket, interest started to get better in 02 when we made the tournament but didn't sky rocket until 03 and everyone realized that hey we have something special on our hands.

If Wojo gets us back to being a perennial tournament team, and I believe he will, the fans and especially the students will return. I'm sure there will be an immediate spike next year with the recruiting class that is coming in. If we go to Madison and pull off the upset next year the Bradley Center will be packed again. Even Fox Sports 1 commented on the turnout being good for a 3-8 conference team, usually at this point the fans have totally packed it in. Just look at what Buzz is playing in front of at VT.

Marquette drew more than the Bucks drew Monday or probably will draw tonight.  The biggest missing piece was the students.  I think the students lower bowl should be filled (based on past performance) and the student upper bowl is a bonus for big games / saturday's etc.

All I'll say to the kids who skipped: You're only there for 4 years, make the most of it.  In 3 years you might be slumming it for Deloitte in a Courtyard by Marriott in Huntsville, AL wishing like hell you and some buddies could spend 2 hours together at the BC.

Perhaps they were studying. Or they have other important things to do. Attending basketball games is not every student's top priority. Shocking, I know.

Amen!  I attended '83-'87 during some lean seasons.  But those years spent at MU games as a student produced irreplacable memories.

Bringing back fond memories of those joyous Dukiet years.
