Congrats to Markus on winning performance of the year!

He also beat Joe Thomas blindfolded in pop a shot!

I assume it was the performance Sam was very pissed about? Or was it the 53 he scored at Creighton?

What a cancer.

53 vs Creighton

53 vs Creighton

Thanks. What's wild is there actually was a doubt about which game it would be for Markus. I can't think of any other college player I've ever watched who could go for 53 in a game and you think a different performance of his (in the same season, no less) was even more impressive.

My favorite was actually the 2nd half vs. Buffalo. I've never seen anything like that before.

And likely never will see it again. One of the greatest one half performance ever.

If only we didn't have Markus last year, Sam and Joey would have led us to an undefeated national championship season ... because, you know, Georgetown.

[We R Final Four]

Just heard on sports radio.....At the after party Markus beat Joe Thomas (Cleveland Browns OT) in pop-a-shot.....in which Markus was blindfolded. Pretty funny.

It was actually right after Markus went to stage and received the award. They streamed it on Facebook Live. It was pretty impressive haha.

The answer is always this.

It is one of the five greatest sports achievements any Marquette supporter has seen in their lifetime.

Markus' OT against Creighton was also pretty unbelievable - 14 points and one assist in 5 minutes...including a 51-second stretch where he scored 9 on 3 treys.

That 5 minutes would be a pretty good game for most guys.

Regulation vs Creighton wasn't half-bad either: 37 points and a perfect assist on Sam's amazing shot.

This. Just watched in awe laughing out loud. Jaw dropping

[MomofMUltiples]

Which is why I could believe Sam was frustrated after the Creighton game. Here he hits the miracle shot with no time left to tie it, and the guy who scores 53 points gets all the press.

I hope this is tongue in cheek, as Sam got some decent coverage for his shot too. The ESPN recap shows the video right at the top, and then devotes two paragraphs to it.

Not bad considering your teammate set a BE record in the same game.

"I don't play hero basketball. I'm not playing for fans... I'm just playing to win. I'm not out here trying to break records. As long as I try to help my team win, I'm satisfied with it." - Kawhi Leonard

When you play with a clear mind and no selfish agenda great things happen.

Kind of a clown move for highly paid university employees like Broeker and Johnson to be throwing shade at their former amateur athletes for transferring.  Over 800 players transferred this year and it happens at almost every school, so why are they all butt hurt about it?

Didn't expect you to be such a snowflake, Mr. Hauser.

Because they stayed.   And a large snowflake subset used the same transfers, which as you rightly say were 2 out of 800, as evidence that the current regime is incompetent.  Maybe they are clapping back a little bit against that.

How do you know who they were targeting or if they were targeting anyone at all?  Quite a leap you are taking over a quote.

[Shooter McGavin]

Agreed,  no shade at all.  Just an end game quote from the future finals MVP.  Nothing more.

Stan's quotes are like the Rashomon Effect .  

[tower912]

Everything in the world has the Rashomon Effect.

I suppose Broeker and Johnson should at least be given credit for keeping their accounts active.  A true snowflake deletes their Twitter account when times get tough.
