Providence game thread and chat link

Warriors come big tonight with a top ten win.

Snady for the early SOTG call.

MU by 6.

GO WARRIORS!!!!!

Rocky, post your chat link here for us mobile device guys.

[mubb3434]

Might as well stay optimistic. Sandy with 24 MU by 4. LETS GO WARRIORS!

[BM1090]

Will be lots of time for pessimism after the game. So I expect a good performance tonight! Haanif hits a couple of free throws with under 10 seconds left to win.

PS - Providence is overrated. Let's show the world tonight. Or at least several dozen thousands.

Thanks JB

Like the start, although it appears traci has taken a big step back at the point. Not much good happens when he has the ball it seems.

Was it really a great first half by marquette...we should be up by double digits...if we played well then by 20.

Not trying to be negative but providence has been awful. If they play even average the second half we'll have to step it up to win.

But im hoping on a win still....9-9+ finish and a tourney bid.

Great? Nope. But much better on defense, which is my main concern.

[nyg]

Great first 15 minutes, last five bit shaky.  Way too many turnovers.  12.....

Great defense for most part, going against a good team.

Carter, well.....3 ugly turnovers. 

If only Henry and Wilson could have hit those wide open uncontested threes.  Both had two each misses.

MU did not have an offensive rebound in first half.  Not one. 

[Jay Bee]

Marquette's turnover rate at 32%+, yet they lead 30-24 at half. Previous season-high TO% was 26.8% (LSU). #mubb

#mubb's 0 off reb number is ugly, but #pcbb is being held to sub-30% thus far.

56.5% eFG% for #mubb, 33.9% for #pcbb is tonight's difference, partly offset by Reb's and TO's. 11 & 5 for Henry, 10 & 4a for Dunn. 30-24 MU

On an unrelated note, when was the last time we got Bill Raftery?  Seems like an eternity.

[KipsBayEagle]

We gotta keep this game real slow if we want to keep this going.  Slow, deliberate possessions.

He's good but i still like homer and mac on 540 for audio.

[We R Final Four]

His sidekick is terrible.

My only complaint is that he hasn't called anyone "The Big Fella!" yet.

[jsheim]

Cheatem is the real deal. Ellenson playing well...if fischer can live up to it...and traci not do dumb things...we will be ok

[mugrack]

And if ifs and buts were candy and nuts it would be Christmas everyday

[mugrack]

Wilson plays undisciplined

[nyg]

Duane Wilson, good grief.  Misses two free throws, then a frontend, then a stupid drive that gets stuffed.  All of this when MU had a nice lead, now and Wojo has to use time out.

Changing point of whole game.  Brutal just brutal. 

[Lennys Tap]

Wilson plays undisciplined

Coach's son. Dad must be a lousy coach.

It's my fault.  I turned it on and we were up 8 and a few minutes later we're down 4.  I should probably turn it off.

Time for the ban hammer, Rocky!

[Fred Garvin]

They come out of a time out and go right after Fisher,they know the weakest Link

[jsheim]

Tired of homer saying elleson can hit that three...henry looks good but it got to go in.
