Re 9:   I apologize that SilverWarrior's drivel was accurate once every 20 games.

[NCMUFan]

It was a tough game.  Hopefully we can rebound.

😂, well it's obvious we can't rebound

1.  I fully expected MU to make a game of this.   They have been down before and almost always at least made it close. 
2.   Butler clearly had a great scout for MU and executed it beautifully.   Every coach looks like a genius when their team makes it rain from 3.   And a whole bunch of their offensive rebounds were the product of getting just enough of a hand on the miss to tip it out to the perimeter.
3.   Speaking of scout, time to make some adjustments.    Conference opponents are taking away the pick and roll with Kolek.   They are sending lots of players to the offensive boards.    They are prepared for the press.    Staying up on 3 pt shooters/helping less.     
4.  Participating in the game chat is unhealthy.
5.   MU got back in to the game by playing defense, going to the offensive boards, attacking the paint.   
6.  Good to see Kolek hit some 3's.
7.  Butler almost took the air out of the ball too soon.  Enough clutch shooting down the stretch to overcome a poor coaching choice.   
8.   This team never quit.       
9.   Hey, point, I think you might owe Silver an apology.    Guy has only been watching MU hoops since the 60's.

10.   I am going back to my CONE.  (cult of no expectations)       Only thing to do is learn and get better

Regarding your point 4, thank you Dr. Fauci.

You and NolongerWarriors should grab a drink or maybe a burger.

Excellent

Given his recent obsession over the male anatomy, I'm assuming it'll include the male anatomy

[willie warrior]

bad loss. butler is garbage bad.. rest of games are crucial. need to win to avoid tanking seeding

Yes Butler honks, but there is no excuse for this loss. Absolutely none.

This will likely put them in the 7 or 8 seed range.

Although that's still good it is a bad loss in the sense that it basically eliminates their chances of getting a 4 or 5 seed and playing a mid-major in the 1st round.

Their 1st round game is almost certainly gonna be against a power5 team.

There aren't many good wins available on their schedule the rest of the way so they can't really improve their resume.

I really didn't like Oso in the game at the end. They kept attacking him on the PNR, or by requiring him to help, and he just doesn't move that fast. I kinda think they should have gone small there and spread the floor on offense a little. I know Shaka is concerned with rebounds but...

On defense we are over helping and over rotating. Teams have picked that up and are making the extra pass. Which is why random dudes are going off. 

Just threw in a tray of enchiladas. Green sauce. That will get me through the rest of the evening.

Oso is soft on defense.

[tower912]

Options?  Kur was worse, OMP had 4 fouls and wasn't very good, either.  Lewis and 4 guards?  Which 4?   Probably Morsell, Stevie, Greg, and Kolek.   More Joplin?   

[The Sultan]

Oso is soft on defense.

And he's a second late on rotations.

[Big Papi]

We can't win if we allow a team to shoot lights out, especially from 3 and not rebound when they do miss.  Add to it a Hero ball offense during a stretch like that and its game over.

Great effort to battle back but it's a game against a team that we shouldn't lose to.  Every team has a few of these types of bad games, hopefully this is the only one.

We need paint touches every time down the court.  Our offense runs smoother when we get the ball in the paint and get the ball moving. 

Need to figure out how to defend better as it hasn't been good the last few games.  Sanogo was getting the ball too deep in the paint in the prior game and Butler was creating mismatches with Kolek and attacking him every time down the court in the second half.  Need some better adjustments from Shaka.

Really?  No other opportunities for big wins?

Did they cancel the BET?

If I had to sum up this game in a gif...

Wrong on every point you made, well done.

The first 15 minutes was an absolute dumpster fire, especially defensively.  It didn't help that Butler was pulling shots out of their asses pretty much the whole game.  Credit to Marquette for fighting back in the second half, but this is still a bad loss to a not very good team.  Hopefully the last couple of games will serve as a wake up call for the team to stop reading their press clippings and reignite their defensive presence.

There are 0 Quad1 wins left available at the moment. Basically means there are no needle moving wins left unless they get a matchup in New York.

It is important to stay in the Top 5 in the Conference to get a "first round bye" in New York.

The Home Games against Georgetown and Butler are must wins for metric purposes. Those would be seed killing losses. Still in a good spot but what I said was completely accurate.

You said this loss drops them to a 7 or 8 seed. That's absolutely not accurate.

Why are you disregarding the BET?
