Oops

[tower912]

1.  Finishing through contact.  Providence did.  Marquette didn't. 
2.  Boxing out.  Greg, Jamal, Sacar. 
3.  Markus.  Appreciate him while he is here. 
4.  Providence is very physical.   MU did not always step up.  See #2.
5.  I liked the post double teams in the first half. 
6.  Blown lay ups.   See #1.
7.  Jayce was the better 5 tonight.  He brought effort and physicality.  Changed the game a couple of times with pure hustle.
8.  Bailey is just fine.   Other than that last free throw.
9.  Zone.  Wojo never makes adjustments.  Whatever.
10.   In the end, losing because Providence powered their way to one more offensive rebound.  See #2
11.  And a free throw that matta'd.

LMAOOOOOO. Y'all got real jumpy after that Nova game.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Providence tougher. That was a Big East team right there.

[GoldenZebra]

This went about as expected. This team isnt ready to string together tough games yet.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

LMAOOOOOO

Insightful.

[HowardsWorld]

Beyond stupid to take that timeout with 1.2 left and the guy shooting free throws. What exactly did wojo think they could do in that time.

[PGsHeroes32]

Koby just sucks

There is no other way around it right now

[fjm]

Sheesh. Being at the game, some of those Ref calls were real rough to believe!

[Ellenson Guerrero]

This is a tough loss to swallow, but I can live with the gutsy performance. Jayce Johnson really contributed doing the little things down the stretch. We just need Koby to step up into the number 2 scoring option night in and night out.

[GoldenZebra]

Is it too much to ask to at least win at home? Yikes. On to the next game.

Fantastic on defense last 5 or so possessions in regular time. Was huge.

[warriors141]

we suck, had my hopes up after the nova game, but that game confirms it. Thinking we will be near the cellar in the big east. Just not a good team, in a good conference.

[Smokin' Jae]

That missed free throw by Bailey was some atrocious coaching. I watched the replay multiple times, not one player even went for the rebound. Your down 1 with four seconds left and no one is instructed to crash the boards, it was like they all assumed he was going to make it. On top of that he had Jamal and Sacar on the block, jayce has been a monster all game and when you may need the biggest rebound of the season, he's on the bench, I felt like I was taking crazy pills watching that

[NickelDimer]

Are we still on a good trajectory with Wojo? He's never inspired confidence in me. That's a bad bad loss

How dare you have such a mild-mannered response to a tough fought game. Props to Providence. They made some big shots and were battling inside. Just shows you how every team in the conference can win any game.

[injuryBug]

#1 all day long Koby and Sacar need to finish in the lane.

Howard gets no respect from the refs he gets abused on most drives and did not shoot a FT until very late or even all the bumps off ball screens.

[MUWarrior4Life]

Disparity in fouls, plus missed FTs killed us. Never saw such horrendous reffing

[Jay Bee]

MU's FT% was 3.1% higher than Providence's, but it wasn't enough.

Lost in eFG% 50.0% to 44.5%. Tough to overcome. ORebs almost got us there.

[4everwarriors]

Lack of talent for this level of ball and a coach who can't figure it out to save his life, hey?

[HowardsWorld]

Was saying the same thing when I saw it. To have 4.1 second when he missed the ft to foul with 1.7 left is terrible and its reflected on the coach. I'm so sick of hearing about how good Wojo is after a win like Nova. Lets be honest we won because nova missed 30 3 pointers not because marquette played well. On a side note this was just Howard hero ball again. Next year will be even worse since no one ever wants to step up.

[WolfganghisKhan]

Our offense is a poor man's version of the Rockets. 1v5

[nyg]

Guess rule of thumb is if you up three, you foul under six seconds.  MU did not, when I presume most coaches would have.  PC was terrible at the line and at the time was 19 for 30. 

Very bad loss, very bad and could hurt them at years end.  Protect home court, especially against PC.

Believe Markus took 34 shots tonight, at times he was amazing, but he missed too many layups and those short one handlers. 

[WarriorPride68]

Said this in the game thread but woof

Providence #99 NET (puke) with losses to Northwestern, Penn, Long Beach State, College of Charleston & Rhode Island

This is incorrect.

You gotta go all in for the rebound there.  Even if you don't get it, you foul on the rebound so no time comes off the clock.  Maybe on Wojo, but players should understand what to do without being told.
