Such is life on the road in the Big East. Our rebounding was what cost us.

Seems we never get to shoot 49 FTs in our home games...

[GoldenWarrior11]

Update: I think it just got to 63.

The refs were fine. PC was just too physical for MU. When you recruit prong and lean athletes, and don’t rebound well, this happens.

This is why some lament the lack of bugs on this team. Oso is the only one and he’s not exactly built.

Free thrown no matta.

Free thrown no matta.

but they do. Take 6-7 pts off the board from throws. That matters.

In the game I watched the refs couldn't wait to blow their whistle for breathing on someone on one end, while they allowed pushing and hand checking on every drive on the other.

I think you were on the wrong channel.

We also don’t create 10 extra possessions with offensive rebounds and don’t usually play into double OT.

Said it on the other thread, but how many times was Providence rewarded for being out of control? It really feels like they flail in the hope of a whistle rather than actually want to take a shot

100% this. Kam jones got knocked to the ground 2 times in one possession in OT and the refs didn’t even consider a foul.

Yep.

I agree, for the most part they were fine. My one problem was the straight line drives MU walled up that were out of control that were at best no calls.  It was a foul every time and rewarded horrible head down drives.  The rest of the 35 free throws were earned.

I was worried about how physical Providence was after the Seton Hall game.  They showed it tonight at home.  They attacked and were rewarded.

Nice!  No substance at all.  I tend to think your posts are rather (extremely) vapid, as well.

Yep yep. Lack of rebounding kills you in games like this.

Didn't Marquette attack? I thought they had more points in the paint?

I can’t make you see something that you don’t see or understand. Physical teams win BE battles. Since MU has been in this conference, that has been the case. Have you not been watching?

I love Shaka but his style is going to be ugly at times in this conference.

[GoldenEagles03]

Remember today if and when we miss the tournament. Providence isn't good.

[JakeBarnes]

This. They did attack. Providence got rewarded for seeking contact rather than making a basketball play.

[DoctorV]

They are pretty good.
They are VERY good at home.
Their head coach is one of the best.
They are probably going to be a tournament bubble team.

More important than anything else you said, this game will have 0 bearing on Marquette not making the tournament

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Because we fouled them.

[Viper]

Shaka just said ‘respect is earned’. Ok, sure. But coach, a FT discrepancy of 30. 30!! It’s almost impossible to overcome that. The Celtics don’t overcome that! Ok, I’m ranting.

Because we fouled them more than they fouled us.

Standard Sultan reply.  30 FT attempt differential is not something simply explained by the other team being more physical.  They bodied the unnatural carnal knowledge out of Kam, Tyler, Jop going to the basket and rarely was anything called.

I get that your schtick is to be a prick, but try not to be so predictable.
