Friar's club roast MU

Baylor says hello

"close game"

[statnik]

Bad play by Marquette down the stretch in regulation, but officiating was ultimately the difference.

Yes, ultimately you can say the execution wasn't there but when we outplayed them for the majority of the game and get this kind of whistle it's hard not to complain.

[The Sultan]

I thought Shaka kept too many timeouts in his pocket at the end of regulation. Could have used a couple to do something different on offense.

[PGsHeroes32]

Have ourselves to blame for the putridly inept offense down the stetch of regulation. LIke why they flat out stopped doing what worked flawlessly for 34 minutes is beyond me. Just brutal.

But there should be a loss of official jobs tonight. That was one of the biggest inside jobs I have seen in the sport. The exact moment it turned was clear. And it was after the announcers mentioned Cooley working the refs 3 times.

Horrendous.

But still should have closed it out.

[The Sultan]

Again refs were fine. Big, physical team versus long and lean one. This is what happens.

[CTWarrior]

I appreciate how hard they played and the OT comeback from 88-80, but we just handed them this game in regulation.  At some point we need to follow a big win with another big win.  It is certainly no shame to lose in 2 OT at Providence, but it doesn't change the fact that we have lost a very winnable game again in crunch time.  So frustrating.

[PGsHeroes32]

Also absolutely no idea why we didnt call time outs.

There was probably 10 minutes left and I thought to myself "Huge, providence is down to 1 TO already and we got like 3."

Then we just never used them.

[warriors141]

Should have won the game but anyone being inherently negative about that performance should eat a stocking full of turds, look in the mirror, eat another stocking of turds and feel very bad about yourself.

Really? So we should feel positive? Just how low of any kind of expectation do you have? If you want to make the tourney you have to start pulling out some of these close ones. We have to get the monkey off the back and this was there for the taking. very disappointing.

Yes.
Kept 3 even though possession after possession after possession looked extremely discombobulated offensively and the fellas looked lost out there.

Close games might be an Achilles heel, that Shaka needs to quickly heal

Driscoll has been terrible his entire career, not just in MU games.

[PointWarrior]

So one good win against a shell-shocked team playing on the road for the first time?

The refs were not fine. A foul is a foul no matter how much muscle someone has.

[Afroman]

Hopkins 0 fouls.
HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Shaka ball - All fun and games against inferior teams, all pee down the leg in close games.

Are you this dumb?  Serious question.

[NCMUFan]

I agree.  When your team is struggling, it seems the coach should formulate a new strategy instead of letting the team continue to flounder.

[Ellenson Guerrero]

At some point this team needs to learn that you can never let off the gas, never play not to make a mistake. The possession up 5 five 3 minutes left when Kam launched a desperate three at the buzzer was horrendous.

I am very glad the boys fought back in OT, but if they take care of business in regulation we're 2-0.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

You can't pick and choose which games you choose to have in your selective memory.

Marquette obviously came out with a much better game plan than Baylor did that game.

[PointWarrior]

Name a game against a quality team they did not pee down their leg at crunch time this year?

Are you this dumb?  Serious question.

Where did I say we should feel positive, Biff?

Yup, there were a lot of TV timeouts and review time outs it seemed, but we needed one somewhere in the final 3 minutes of regulation.  I guess Shaka was saving them in case we need to stop clock at the end of the game.

Who took more threes and got outscored in the paint.

[The Sultan]

Agreed.

Not sure how that applies here but I agree.

"All fun and games against inferior teams".

See Baylor, genius.

Correction.

Kolek fought back in OT.

The boys were pretty lifeless for about 10 mins at the end of regulation and first OT combined, but TyKo had other thoughts in the first extra frame.

[NCMUFan]

Well, the team played hard. 
Just not well enough to win.
We get Providence again.
Hopefully we even the series.
