Can Scoop Handle Success?

[Heisenberg]

If you have been here long enough, you have seen this place absolutely meltdown after a bad loss.

So why isn't this place "melting up" after an extraordinary miracle to tie to the game and a historic performance by Markus?

Does scoop have a problem handling success?

[Archies Bat]

Most posters don't.

Some posters do.

[Oldgym]

This is why Scoop is bad.

[jesmu84]

Because the melt downs are negative, reactionary fans who dislike wojo. or trolls.

Either way, the rest of the scoopers/online fanbase appears to be more level-headed and doesn't need to get too high or too low.

In a 3-day span, we get a solid conference win, land a 4-star recruit and get an incredible, come-from-behind, we-have-a-ton-of-heart road win against a team that is practically kicking in 3s ... but we won't even hear from some of the absolutely joyless mopes around here.

And everybody knows they were laying in wait for the loss tonight, ready to rip Wojo and say how horseshyte we were.

What a sad, pathetic way to go through life.

But yeah, that somehow proves that they're better fans than the rest of us. Joyless mopes.

I get mad at myself sometimes for even wasting my time writing this kind of thing, but it's effen pathetic.

Not to mention dumb and dangerous.

Great post by my wise and good friend 82!

I love complaining about complainers.

I also might love Sam Hauser.

And Joey.

And hot dogs. With chili.

I dislike cauliflower and the song Love Shack. Steak Shack is average.

I find trolls annoying. Especially the troll dolls with the long hair.

I am undecided with how I feel about melting up, as I have never experienced the sensation. I had a wonderful burrito the other day and it was heavenly. Was that me melting up?

[Herman Cain]

Heisy we can handle success and are looking forward to more of it. Fantastic win, clearly the finish was one for the ages. 

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

All I know is everything that happened tonight was expected by muguru.

[wade_county37]

If we had Tyler Herro, we would have won this game at halftime.

We could barely handle Hiroshima.

Hell, I don't even remember what Hiroshima was about any more.

One of the Buzz leaving rumors? A transfer? What?

The administration was going to deemphasize basketball turning us into SLU.

It was a Goose led scare about new academic restrictions supposedly retroactively applied to some of our Juco and condiment named friends during the latter parts of the Buzz era. 

Eventually the new requirements came out and no one was impacted.

Fire Wojo!

[Floorslapper]

Just finished watching game as had a late meeting.

Probably the most incredible Marquette game I've ever seen. One for the ages. Granted Creighton is 33 in KenPom so not quite like beating a Top 10 team, but good Lord what a f'in game!

Markus en fuego. Marquette has never had a player like him. Incredible performance and individual skill on display.

Sam's shot to send to OT was insane too. The confluence of events that led to MU winning is something we will likely never see again in this lifetime.

Kudos to Wojo for calling the timeout with .8  - I honestly thought at the moment he did it, it was silly. But. The miracle happened!

[94Warrior]

I haven't had a change to 'melt up' because I left the bar with .8 left on the clock, Creighton's ball, MU down 3.  Got to the car just in time to hear Sammy's 3 to force OT and the 5 minute review.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Homer call the OT.  Outscored CU 21-19 in OT!!!!  That's unbelievable.  Has anyone ever scored 19 in OT and lost?????  20 pts in a 5 min period is on pace for a 160 points/40 mins.

I have been scrambling like mad to find the OT on TV.  Normally I would just watch on FSGO, but with it being on CBSSN, it is tougher than you would think.

Winner

[MU82]

Sam's shot to send to OT was insane too. The confluence of events that led to MU winning is something we will likely never see again in this lifetime.

The two closest comparisons I can think of are the win over UNC-Charlotte on the Whitehead shot, and, probably even moreso, the incredible rally vs. Davidson in the 2013 NCAAs. The fact that those games were far more important maybe gives those situations the "wins" in head-to-head competition.

But if we dismiss the importance-of-game factor, I think you are probably right. I mean, Creighton had a 3-point lead and the ball with .8 to go. If I'm a Creighton fan right now, all I can think is, "Man, we just had a choke for the ages."

Speaking of SLU, Hasahn French is a friggin beast!! Really transformed his game from just a PF to a really nice driver and shooter of the ball.  Tremendous development and that size n cersatility has to make him a solid NBA prospect.  Big time player. 
Weve done well with the Hausers, but i was always kind of surprised French chose SLU over MU

Forgot all about Hasan French.  Now I'm missing him, too.
