Great effort MU

[GooooMarquette]

Loved our kids' effort today.  A few ill-advised plays, but showed a lot of heart against a top 10 team.

The clock snafu on Luke's shot on the inbounds really hurt.

[CountryRoads]

Agreed. Xavier played a very good game today. Our guys hung right with them.

[PGsHeroes32]

Hard to be mad at grinding like that on the road

But it's frustrating just not being able to fully put them together. We play with leads for long periods but inevitably lose them.

Macura goes 7/8 smh

What happened witht the shot clock on that play? Listening on radio.

[Marcus92]

This team doesn't quit. We gave Xavier everything they could handle. Love to see that. As a fan, I want to see them turn that effort into wins. But I know they're learning what it takes. Too many turnovers today.

[MUsoxfan]

Great effort. If MU could shoot, they'd be dangerous

[Babybluejeans]

Absolutely. Impressed by their effort and a confidence-builder going forward. Stings though. Pretty bad.

[GooooMarquette]

What happened witht the shot clock on that play? Listening on radio.

Clock hit 0 before the ball even hit Luke's hands.

[CountryRoads]

What happened witht the shot clock on that play? Listening on radio.

The refs waited about 4 seconds to call the jump ball and then there was 1 second on the shot clock and the shot clock operater started the clock before we inbounded the ball and Fischer s shot was no good.

In other words, MU got screwed on that play.

Clock hit 0 before the ball even hit Luke's hands.

The ref waited about 2 seconds to call the jump ball.  Should have been at least 2 seconds on the shot clock when he blew the whistle. 

[Ellenson Guerrero]

Clock hit 0 before the ball even hit Luke's hands.

+1

[mu-rara]

Fire Wojo.  These freshman should be better.

I don't need teal, do I?

We have a lot to look forward to.

[Marcus92]

Shooting was not the problem today. Not even close. MU shot 54.7% from the field (excellent), 52.9% from 3-point land (outstanding), and 71.4% from the stripe (good).

[ChicosBailBonds]

Great game!  My son and I were listening in car and ended up pulling over to a diner in middle of nowhere to watch on my iPhone.

Played like Warriors today against a damn good team

That caused me to vomit....nothing like a home time keeper.    But, it was a great game.  Our bigs were awesome...our guards were maddenly inconsistent...way too many turnovers and got absolutely scorched trying to play defense on the drive or on the perimeter.   

This game gave me both hope for the future and heartburn for letting one slip away we could have won.

How in the world is that not reviewable?

Totally agreed.  And a solid rebounding game until the end.  Turnovers must be next goal.

[brewcity77]

They started the shot clock before Luke got the ball.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Yea, played great for 35 minutes but needed at least 38. Completely took Farr out of the game, he didnt do anything today. If they don't go absolutely mental from 3 that's a 10 point win for MU.

[CountryRoads]

How in the world is that not reviewable?

I'm not sure but I would say that because there is no decimal on the shot clock (I don't think). 1 could be 1 or 1 could be .1. It just says 1 and then went to 0 quickly.

[MomofMUltiples]

Really great play against the number 6 team in the country on a road game. I hope they can start putting games like that together against the lower tier teams of the BEast. Maximum effort in every game, not just against top 20 opponents.

Another moral victory for the team that spends the fourth most on basketball in the NCAA! Way to go guys, pat on the back. Maybe a few more years under Wojohousekey and the Golden Eagles will make some noise in the NIT? Or is that asking too much for $12 million dollars per year? GREAT EFFORT. Not per dollar, but I guess if you pretend like we have the budget of Coach Taylor and the East Dillon Panthers, losing to Xavier by only eight isn't too bad. Hey, for $12 million, Marquette didn't lose by as much as Vegas said, and that right there is a moral victory in my book. And let's not forget, nobody on the basketball team has raped anyone yet this year!

Please take your comments 60 mIles to the west, thanks.

Will your former head coach be the father figure his illegitimate child needs and deserves in his life or will that fall on the guy 50 years his younger who is dating the woman he knocked up?  Just wondering.

[MattyWarrior]

They still don't know each others tendencies well enough not to kick the ball all over the gym.
20 turnovers and you may not beat DePaul at home, not many games left.

You sicken me. Yes, it's frustrating to have a game like this and end up losing it like we did, but throwing a tantrum and saying crap like this just doesn't fly with me.

Get your attitude readjusted and come back and contribute something worth while.
