Marquette Wearing Black in Honor of Jacob Blake

[WolfganghisKhan]

It was not our offense in the first half.

Because UCONN is actually playing defense this half with their adjustments. We have no answer.

[5DollarPitcher]

And we foul out the game down 10 with 20 seconds left. My god Wojo come on man.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

The next time a SE Wisconsin law enforcement officer gets murdered in the line of duty, I'll wait for MU to wear a jersey in that person's honor...

Great, since you're obviously not a fan anymore you can stop posting at any time.

[Bad_Reporter]

Good news.  Don't have to worry about Nova going in dry on us this week.

How long are you gonna cling to the first half?

Well, considering the changes wojo made once we got the big lead. He instructed the guys to slow it down and play in the half court.

As opposed to building the lead by pushing the pace in transition.

That killed us.

UConn picked up the defensive intensity but you're generally not wrong. I also feel we went away from forcing Dawson which was working and clearly a huge mismatch that we were successfully exploiting.

[Judge Smails]

That was a collapse of epic proportions. Up by 18, lose by 11. A 29 point swing. It's amazing how good they looked in the first half and how bad they looked in the second half.

No objections from me.  They must think the MUBB platform is a strong one that people give two f***s what they think.  Maybe in the Buzz and Crean days when there were more fans and MU was winning s*** once in a while

Seems like you do give at least one f*** what they think..

Hey Chitown and BLM, perhaps we can meet up at the next "Take back the night" rally wearing Jacob Blake shirts and you can teach the rest of us how to be as woke as you are.  Or we can suggest to MU BBall to pick a more appropriate person to honor in an attempt to bring awareness to racial injustice. 

[WarriorPride68]

We are going to pull this out. Our shots will start to fall. UConn will cool off

Not worth any of my mental capacity

Hey FrennA, are you of the opinion that anyone with a criminal background should be shot 7 times in the back?  Just making sure I have that right.

[CountryRoads]

It seems that the players (especially Theo) were the driving factors to wear the black jerseys, so that is nice MU gives them a platform to express themselves on issues they feel strongly about. However, if they are going to put a strong statement and say they are "EXTREMELY disappointed" in the ruling, then they should go on record and say specifically what would be a satisfying outcome to them. I'd like to hear that.

Well, with any kind of common sense let's think critically about this.  There were no charges against the police officer that shot Jacob Blake in the back 7 times.  So if they were "EXTREMELY disappointed" in that ruling, I think you could assume that they would've preferred charges be pressed?

Let's see Wades...wanted felon when it happened, resisting arrest, multiple taser attempts didn't subdue him, armed with a knife, kids in van he did not have full custody over and threatening to take off with them.

How about that, missed a few details. Well, there's a first time for everything.   

[HutchwasClutch]

Oh yeah, he was reason police were called to house in first place...

So your answer is yes, felons should be shot in the back 7 times.  Got it.  Says more about you than the MU players.

ive heard conflicting data but if this is all true, its kinda hard to fully get on board and honor him like the team did. i guess i dont get it

[brewcity77]

For MU fans, this is simple. If you don't support the team in this, you should end your Marquette fandom right now. The team doesn't want you. Go away. See my signature for confirmation.

let's make heroes out of criminals

You aren't wrong but seven shots in the back after slowly walking away is excessive.

I don't argue he shouldn't be resisting, especially with valid issues for arrest.

I thought you were "finished" about a half hour ago.  Back already?

as a leftist who thinks we can drastically improve our police system,i dont think you need to  agree with absoulutly everything theo says to qualify as a fan.

Right you are Brew.  I think a lot of people have left, or decided they don't care about MUBB as much as they have in the past.  Now whether that's due to the lackluster product put on the floor, or their political motivations, I'm not sure

What I do know is Marquette was around far before Theo and the team made their comments.  Marquette will be around long after Theo and staff are gone.  Nobody will encourage me to stop supporting due to their political motivations, their product on the floor has created enough of a reason to become a "casual fan" If you want to label it that. 

The sooner wojo is gone, the better.
