Biggest win of Wojo era and where are the trolls?

[GGGG]

Bigger than Nova.

After a real heartbreaking game at Providence, they came out and laid it to a struggling, but still very good Xavier team. 

If you can't see progress yet, you are willfully blind.

[MU82]

Won 3 of 4 huge games.

The trolls will wait for the next loss to come out of hiding. They are pathetic.

Seriously, isn't sports supposed to be fun? What a sad way to go through life, only beyotching at a bunch of 19- and 20-year-olds and rarely cheering them on.

If they weren't so effen annoying, I'd feel sorry for them.

[esotericmindguy]

Yep. They'll be in the tourney in his 3rd year. I predicted they'd have the second best offense in the "bold prediction" thread before the year. I think that's where they'll end up. Great win.

Once Marquette gets some toughness they'll be very good. This is a very fun brand of basketball. Wojo will continue to attract high level recruits. Marquette will be a top 15 team (if healthy) all next year. I think they get another impact grad transfer.

I totally agree but at what point did u feel we were safe? 

[MU82]

I totally agree but at what point did u feel we were safe?

1. What does it matter?

2. Halftime.

[GB Warrior]

Nova is better, but this is a huge road win. We're playing our best ball down the stretch, that mess of a Prov game notwithstanding.

[Tugg Speedman]

I totally agree but at what point did u feel we were safe?

Right after Greg Gumbel calls MU's name on the selection show a week from Sunday.

[esotericmindguy]

2. Halftime.

Aggressive. I'd save after the 3 by Rowsey that bounced around. I think there were 4 minutes left.

[BossplayaOtto]

Bigger than Nova. who was the number one ranked team in the nation and defending national champs and resulted in MU's first home win and 2nd ever in the 100-year history of the program over a #1

After a real heartbreaking game at Providence, they came out and laid it to a struggling, but still very good Xavier team.  who lost their sixth straight game. But had a capacity, rowdy crowd on senior night

If you can't see progress yet, you are willfully blind. VERY TRUE!

I get that you're baiting the trolls, but this win was not bigger than Nova. It was however a huge bounceback win and exactly the type of performance this team, program and fan base needed. Super pumped for senior day and March Madness!

[dgies9156]

Bigger than Nova.

No

Without Nova, the only initials in our post season would be NIT. Nova is why the committee will look at us. Period, and don't kid yourself.

Look, this team is wildly inconsistent.  We beat Creighton, Villanova, Xavier and almost beat Butler on the road. But we lose to Providence twice, Georgetown once, St. John's once etc.

We  are improving and I will say it again. I like what  I see from Wojo's guys. We're getting stronger and better.  Tonight was big but it is part of an entire body of work.

[Gato78]

I am a Marquette Fan. I live by the old bromide uttered first by the inimitable Father Dan' Camera. It is applicable at any time and regardless of lead: "We have lost bigger leads". I think it is true in almost every game situation. As Marquette fans, I think we are never comfortable until the final horn.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

We're dancing.

And this team could win a couple in the ncaas. Just keep winning.

[ecompt]

They played hard on D, shot the lights out and withstood some absolutely horrid officiating in the second half. Wojo made all the right moves. Now on to Creighton and insure that bid.

I'm actually not baiting the trolls.

After Saturday, with the pressure of needing wins down the stretch, playing on the road in a building where MU has never won, they won.

I think this was bigger.  The Nova win was awesome and will likely end up being the signature win of the season, but this one was more of a must win.

It would have been a must win...if not for our win against Nova. The fact is that erased a lot of our lapses this year. Not discrediting this win, but sans Nova, we'd have to win out AND do quite a bit of damage in the BET.

Unless we win it all, they will be back. Can't help themselves.

[MUBigDance]

Let's face it. MU basketball this year was a real rollercoaster.

We want to be where (for example) Butler is. Our concerns down the stretch are which seed? Can we beat nova for the BE title. A loss is unexpected but we can live with it.

I think next couple of years perhaps. But now it's the emotional rollercoaster and don't fault fans for riding it. I'm feeling good. Im looking for a Creighton win. I'm looking for a trip to Indy (please get placed there).

[jsglow]

You know what gentlemen?  Wojo issued a huge challenge after this team was left for dead following GTown.  We've won 3 of 4 and should be undefeated frankly.  That's the best down the stretch ball Marquette has played since 2013.

Get a ticket Saturday.  Scrap your comfortable sofa and 60 inch.  They've earned your attendance if you're within a reasonable distance.

[GoldenZebra]

Nova was the biggest win by far. Lose to Nova and we probably would not be considered unless we made some noise in the BET...

I've seen all but one game (loss at Prov), and I know I'm not the only one here who has seen most or all of our games.

I've truly enjoyed the vast majority of this season. We play a fun, entertaining brand of hoops. Frustrating at times, but that's always the case.

I applaud the job Wojo has done. Two short years ago, we had ZERO chance and all we had was hope that it would get much, much better. And it has.

Looked up plane flights, can't get a flight out early enough on Saturday to make it on time and unfortunately impossible for me to leave Friday.

[fjm]

I'll be at the game Saturday. We got this!

Yes trolls are no where to be seen. Weird. You'd think they want mu to win. Instead they are more invested in firing the coach instead of making the tourney.

Here here!!

I will be there for sure! Get that 3 seed for that BET run! (SJU give us some love)

Hopefully a win like this will take a load off and they can play loose but still focused and hungry.

You're goddamn right, glow. Let's get these guys over the line on Saturday.

Of course, plane rides are completely excused.  As are health reasons, trips to Hawaii, and maybe even weddings.  But if you live in northern Illinois as we do or southeast Wisconsin there are no lame arse excuses allowed.  Don't lazy out and still claim you're a Warrior.  No excuse if it's not SRO.  Wojo personally asked for all of us on the postgame.
