[Mr. Nielsen]

Not great for tourney seeding of Nova loses this game.  They seem to be completely out of sorts.  14 turns..

It would put St. John's in the mix for a bid.

[MuggsyB]

It would have been nice if Gillespie played like this vs us instead of looking like Steve Nash.

Villanova loving the extra pass and the extra extra pass is killing them right now. Passing up good looks 2-3 times per possession to get a slightly better look is taking seconds off the clock every time down. They are not a team built to come back.

Obviously, Nova is "mailing it in."

Oh, and Jay Wright is "defeated."

he should be fired

Meanwhile....Gtown up 11 in Omaha with 6 mins to go.  Wow just wow.

[CountryRoads]

Congrats to St Johns. That's a solid win and they are trending upwards. Played some bottom half teams in their run and a buy game but are taking care of business nonetheless.

Why's that?

Bottom half or not they took care of business. We didn't.

Not sure why that GT late shot clock 3 counted.

Thought that too, but take a look at the actual clock on the basket. Clearly 1 second left when it was in the air.

Did they even look at it??  WTH?

Yeah, it was definitely good. Ball was well out of his hand before the shot clock hit zero. I was watching the basket clock the whole time after the earlier clock issues we had this season and when Raft said he didn't think it was good all I could think was "what the hell is he talking about?"

Did they even look at it??  WTH?

They did, but it was obviously good. Rewatch the shot but don't look at the unofficial TV clock, look at the clock on top of the stanchion. It was good.

[CountryRoads]

I don't know why those damn clocks are always a second fast on the screen. Happened on the Carton drive against UW.

I was reading something about it and it's because the clocks on screen are being kept in the studio separate from the arena. Those TV clocks are being ran by people that aren't even in the building.

How embarrassing for Marquette, having to rally from a huge deficit to beat Georgetown.

Shoulda simply lost to GT, like Creighton just did.

Can we go 6-2?  Then ya never know.

[MU82]

Why's that?

Because after MU's loss to St. John's, one of our fellow Scoopers said:

This team looks to have mailed it in again.

And another Scooper said something about Wojo being "defeated."

I mean, there are plenty of things to get after this coach and our team about, but I get tired of reading about how our guys are quitting. It's total B.S.

[CountryRoads]

Ouch, Lavin just said Posh Alexander should get Freshman of the year over Garcia because winning should be part of the formula.

Seems like a ridiculous comment with a ton of hoops left.

We're 9-9, 5-7 in conference, solidly in 8th place. Why would anyone be embarrassed by that? Seashells and balloons, baby! Top coach, top program in the USA!

I encourage you to rewatch Koby's body language in the last minute of yesterday's game. Specifically after he got tied up and gave a wave to brush off the coaching staff and also see how he reacted after he missed the first free throw up 2 before Butlers last attempt. It was frustrating to see a fifth year senior leader be so nonchalant about blowing another a big lead like that in the second half.  I should have directed the comment more towards those instances versus the whole team in general. Need senior leadership in those critical moments.

Why are you changing what I said to fit your narrative, Tony?

I was talking specifically about rallying to beat Georgetown -- a VICTORY that had most of Scoop outraged.

Would have been much better to have just lost, I guess.

But I take exception with your obviously serious observation that Marquette has the top coach and top program in the USA. I don't think we're any better than 3rd or 4th best.
