@John_Fanta
Since scoring 17 in the first 12 minutes, Markus Howard has been held at bay to just 3 points. Says it all.

@NovaMBB
Villanova has held Marquette without a point for 7:36.
Have shaved the Golden Eagles' lead to 51-43.
7:49 left in the second half.

Should I start the Overrated chant now or wait until the end of the game?  #Arbys

[PGsHeroes32]

Theres 1.

Still not a good shot tho.

[TreeGhost]

Howard is back!

[jonny09]

Morrow just goal tended an obvious miss. Awful

[PGsHeroes32]

Sacar weve needed you.

We got the energy back!


Now we have to find a way to close it out.

MU is built to win today!
The hustle and effort has been outstanding!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Love the effort by Koby...but I think he had some open teammates he could have passed to instead of calling the timeout

[Galway Eagle]

Thought the same, maybe was concerned about traveling because he was sliding?

@BenSteeleMJS
Koby McEwen corralls that loose ball and calls timeout for #mubb
Don't know that I've ever heard this joint as loud outside of Bucks playoff game.

You're too positive to be a scooper. But I love it.

Definitely.

But ill take it. For a moment there I thought he was gonna stay on the ground and let them tie it up and lose the possesion arrow.

[PGsHeroes32]

Theo 1 and 1 is never ideal after a nice stop.

THey get a 3.

Back to 12.

[PGsHeroes32]

Idk if it could get uglier than this.

THis is purely about holding on

[TreeGhost]

MU defense has won this game!

[WhoaJoe2020]

Reach in by Nova and Markus get called for a charge! WTAF

[Norm]

Marquette rocking Baby Shark just like the Washington Nationals!

[TreeGhost]

MU has held Villanova to 23 points this half with a minute to go!  Way to go!  This team can win even when Howard and whoever else are cold!

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

There was at least three push offs by Nova on that last possession

Refs were not consistent at all this game (or even within halves) but players adjusted well.

[PGsHeroes32]

Damn Koby finally missed free throws

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

And....Koby with the own goal

[TreeGhost]

Villanova needs to wave the white flag!
Intentional fouls should be rewarded with an extra free throw!
Ends of games can be ugly with all this intentional fouling when the outcome is not in doubt!
