Bump. Because DePaul is, for now, making UConn look silly.

Good teams make adjustments at halftime.  UConn 2-13 from 3 and getting outrebounded.  I am sure UConn scoop is apoplectic.  Probably some jabroni saying Hurley should have taken the NBA gig, that he isn't actually a good coach.

Someone has called him Karabad, which is still more clever than any Willie name.

So I got a lot of blowback on a couple of posts here...will address this one.
I'm an MU fan. I'll always root for them. I do sulk though when we lose. I didn't post much for a couple days after X got us.
To explain, "I can't accept". Right now at this moment I can't accept the idea that we would lose all three of these tough games. The Wojo days we would accept it even before they're played ...NO MORE! MU is at a different level.

It's possible we could lose all three. If we do I'm bumming' big time. And I'm sure those who've decided sticking it to me is fun will say "ha,ha accept that Fairweather!".....ok, but what does that say about them being MU fans. Scoop is just a place to slam others and feel superior!?  What about Marquette basketball and having that hope for a BE regular season Championship? BET winners?, A real nice seed?, (a 1 one day!?), Sweet sweet 16?, final 4 (generational joy!)?. And the nirvana of a (dare I say it) national championship!?!?

MU is real good. I'm a fan. I'm looking for good things. Disappointment comes with the territory...but I don't accept it!

Hate on me if you want.

I didn't "hate" on you one iota. I asked a couple of questions in response to something you said.

And you still didn't really answer what you would do to show how you would refuse to "accept" losses.

If all you mean is that losses would tick you off ... well sure, welcome to the club.

I hate it when we lose and get cranky on those occasions.

But I know I'll always come back, stay loyal to MU hoops and try to be positive about the next game. I'm a pretty optimistic guy.

If that's "accepting" losses, I plead guilty. Because the alternative - rooting for some other team or not being a college hoops fan at all - is, well, unacceptable.

Creighton putting on a 3 point shooting exhibition to put away Xavier. 7 straight at one point.

[CountryRoads]

Xavier has an interesting end to their season. They've played 7 of 8 games against the top 4 teams (home vs creighton remaining), so they should be favored in most of their remaining 9 games.

Ashworth hit the 8th and then gave the Night Night cliche.

Even if they only go 4-for-8 in that stretch - still a good 50% - it's a close game to the end.

But good on Creighton hitting em all. I hope there's a reversion to mean when we play them.

If we beat UConn on Saturday I think it may be down to a 3 team race for the title.

You already think that.

[GoldenEagles03]

You already think that.

Nope. I wouldn't count UConn out just yet, but if they take their 4th loss while SJ and MU still only have 1 then they are in a tough tough spot.

[Badgerhater]

UCONN moves off the bubble with tonight's win. 🙃

[GoldenEagles03]

I can't tell if Sean Miller is using it in a joking sense (probably?) or actually kinda complaining about their conference schedule here.

Pierre Brooks from Butler picked up a flagrant when he shoved Sorber in the 1st, now Sorber exits after getting elbowed in the face in the 2nd half.

GT wins despite going like 2-for-100 from 3. Nice job!

Not exactly a basketball clinic right now at MSG.

As usual, St. John's can't shoot ... but they can turn over a bad opponent.

I'll take it right now!  This might be the first time in my life I've rooted for the Friars.  1 point game 2:19 left

[Uncle Rico]

Easy W for St. John's.  They look unbeatable

They all cower from the crime rate?

[MU82]

It's obvious why so many Scoopers fear St. John's and think we have little chance to win Tuesday's game.

I mean, the way they destroyed the powerful Providence Friars ... that's a Johnnie juggernaut. Our team might as well not even bother showing up.

[MuggsyB]

Come on Nova.

Dammit Dixon.  A right handed hook???  Focus.
