They throw up absolute garbage and it goes in.

Simon, Figueroa, Ponds. Every single effing one of them. They have a horseshoe stick so far up their ass it's ridiculous.

[PGsHeroes32]

Lol that finish sums it up

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

God damn it what a shitty way to end the half with zero momentum

[Lighthouse 84]

Need a tale of two halves. Brutal first.  Need to come out with some heat.

[Norm]

St John's is so much more athletic than MU it isn't even funny.

[nyg]

Embarrassing....getting our ass kicked after over a weeks rest on our home floor against what several here have called a mediocre team. Just embarrassing. Absolutely no excuses for this. But let the excuses begin.

Long way to go man.  Turnovers killing them, they will cut down.  Not good Markus.

But...SJU has been playing without Heron and Clarke for long time due to fouls.  Figeruroa sat awhile also. 

Simon and Ponds only constant and that's bad, real bad.  Been them and scrubs, with Simon getting layup after layup.

They are only 3-10 on 3s and lots of good looks. Should be worse than 10 to be honest. Could turn it around in the 2nd half if we get hot but I'm not too optimistic

Man, they get some trash to fall.

*Lucky

Half those floaters that went in were complete BS.

[Warrior of Law]

This StJ team is so much more athletic than MU.  All drives to the hoop or post ups...shooting 52% from the floor.  A very touch matchup for the shorter Howard and slow footed Hausers.  Will need a StJ cold spell to get back into it.  40 points in a half is a lot.

[PGsHeroes32]

SJU scored at will once we cut it to 5

[MUEng92]

Marquette looks scared of these guys.  They have taken up residence in MUs heads.

Its like they have a magnet right to the basket. What are they shooting? It feels like 80-90%.

[Cheeks]

Wasnt this forum talking about final four etc recently.   Yikes. Not the way this team looks

LOL.  No one knows who is going to Final Four, but I remember 2003 when we lost to UAB in the Conference USA tournament and looked horrible.  We then won 4 straight to go to the Final Four.

Some teams have other teams' numbers.  Game isn't over yet, let's see what happens.

[NickelDimer]

They've hit some tough shots but they're shots from inside of 3'. They're getting to the paint waaaaaay to easily

[JakeBarnes]

Pretty ugly half. Lots of wide open shots missed.

Need to make those and get some cajones on defense

[Norm]

So after 3 half's against ST John's they have outscored us by almost 30 points. Need a hell of a second half to pull this one out.

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

We look like a team that could lose to a mid major in the tourney. Not a 3 plus seed

[warriorstrack]

Giddy up Marquette, get back on that horse

[MUeng]

can't make shots tonight, not good.  howard playing scared, lacks confidence.  st johns seems to get anything they want in the paint.  if the 3s start falling we should pull ahead. 

[NickelDimer]

We really really need to start the second half strong

[Daniel]

We are too slow in man defense to keep in front of our man, and sju is hitting everything.  They are scoring in the paint way too much.   Mentally, we checked out a while ago.   

Need to toughen up mentally Durty no this break, and come out on fire.   We will hit more shots second half, but we have to get stops.  Not getting a lot.

Let's Go Marquette!

[muwarrior69]

..and Nova plays the same way.

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

The sju players really illustrate how slow both hausers are with the ball they look like slow mo compared to the guy they are picking up.   I thought same was like larry legend but he has nowhere near the pass off the dribble capability

[BM1090]

My Lord. What mid major will be as talented and athletic as SJU?

It looks like we're gonna lose this game. We might come back but I'd guess we don't. We'll still be fine.
