DePaul game thread.

[NickelDimer]

Theo was robbed of a few blocks.

Yeah he was but his reputation is definitely starting to earn him some benefit of the doubt. A year ago he would've fouled out playing this way

Anybody else really really sweating this -8.5?

I took DePaul.

I'd like the double digit win for NET purposes

But at same time with how bad we've played I'd like to take an easy $100 as well

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

What was the spread on this game???

[Carl]

Thought about taking DePaul, but when KenPom has them at 12 point favorites, you really don't usually see disparities of more than a few points usually.

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

I almost took the spread bet but didnt have time.   Looking pretty good now.   

[JakeBarnes]

This is going to be Joey's mission statement this off-season. Pull the trigger.

Wojo only coaches the easy concepts

Oh yeah. Go up 11 only to give up a 3 right away

Get that jinx outta here!

Vegas knew that a Depaul alum was going to be a ref.

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

So how does the half point work on the spread. Im new to it.  Does a 9 pt win get it ?

[nyg]

Theo. 16, 10 and 6.  Take him out, they will play hack a Theo.  Oh, Wojo did. 

Markus, bad turnovers, but 15 for 15 from line. 

[PGsHeroes32]

Lol lost the spread by 1

That's my life

[skianth16]

Cover the spread and squeak out the under! Nice finish boys!

[Carl]

Good teams win, Great teams cover!  #GTST

Good teams win, Great teams cover!  #GTST

And pussys bet against their own team.

[Warrior_2002]

Anyone else notice the cold shoulder Wojo Gabe to Leitao after the game?  Seemed like words were exchanged. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Sam and Theo stepping up

Willie said something positive in a game thread!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

honest question.. for the people who picked us to lose Why? 12# ranked team at home where they are undefeated vs Depaul. What made you think " yeah Marquette's gonna lose this one. JW.

Did someone pick us to lose? Honest question, I don't remember anyone picking us to lose. Some people said it may be closer than we like but that we would win in the end.

This is probably in reference to the prediction thread.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

No i despise chart far more than sacar.  I really dont have any ill will for sacar just that he blows great moves constantly. 

Tooney is making him look bad tonight but he needed a decent game to get unglued from the bench

It's concerning that you despise on of our players

[IrwinFletcher]

What were you watching?  Leitao was giving refs some words at the handshake and Wojo was going to let him go, but then DL grabbed him back and they chatted briefly.  Nothing to see here folks.

[StillAWarrior]

Interesting Howard on the FTs. Even on the technical does the same thing every time. Including the motion of slapping fives with teammates, even though they were not there.

That's serious consistency in repetition.

I didn't notice that at the time. Just went back and watched it. That's awesome.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Markus an assist away from a double double, 23 points, solid defense, and almost singlehandedly fouled out two of their best player. And all y'all can focus on is his turnovers. Y'all really need to reflect on your Markus hate.

I'm not hating on Markus, but I can see how it would be easier for some.  Did the majority of his damage at the stripe which just isn't as flashy, and didn't hit a three, also not flashy.  8 TO's is too many, but looking at the rest of his line, I would have been okay with 4 or 5.  FWIW Theo also would have been approaching triple double territory if he wasn't called for some soft fouls.
