MU/St. J Game Thread

[GoldenEagles03]

I played MU to reach 70 first at +250 on FD.

Ouch.  Too bad for the book.

And anyone else who didn't tail.  I am on Marquette -2.5 and Creighton -8.5 and LSU +10.

It's not difficult to shoot well when you are getting almost nothing but layups and dunks.

If you want them to regress you better keep them away from the rim'

True dat

The defense was not good and they could not miss and only down 7. They might lose by 20, but I think SJ is going to be sorry they did not play better D in the first half.

On top of their hot shooting, we had sloppy turnovers and sucked on the line. I am shocked down only 7.

[MuggsyB]

Ughhh.  Silly turn and then foul there.

[GoldenEagles03]

Haha dangit.  Everytime we have a chance to tie or lead we turn it over.

[Viper]

Not a fan of this announcer.

interesting background on the analyst. Played at DePaul. Does color for Brooklyn Nets. Brother played QB at Northwestern. Father in prison...for murdering mother. Anywhoo, back to the game.

[MuggsyB]

Let's go now!!!

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Couldn't ask for a much better start to the half.

[GoldenEagles03]

DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE!

Stevie is one of the most likable ever.

[MUEng92]

Hey look, I think I see the mean just up ahead

[Fred Garvin]

Omax with 20 this half!!

Went to high school with my wife.

Why did you assume he didn't like the female announcer?  Kustok is better than the dude.

Oh...I thought he was telling us about the guy!  LOL.

One of these facts is not like other, one of these facts is not the same...

[GoldenEagles03]

OMax has been key.

Gotta keep him aggressive.  Such a mismatch.

true dat. My assumption. But Dave Sims has been around, done a lot of BE games.

[MuggsyB]

Man....I thought Jop had that one. 

[mugrad_89]

Sims is a good announcer - a bit more old school than most out there today.

[MuggsyB]

To be fair I don't care for either of them. 

[GoldenEagles03]

Man....I thought Jop had that one.

Same.  Total guess, but I think he may get a shorter leash tonight if he's not scoring.  Chase has earned minutes and Stevie has to be in.

I was hoping Shaka would not sub and keep the strong run going, but he brought in Joplin and an air ball on wide open three. 

That was a great run and wished they could have stuck with the lineup a bit more.
See how it works out with the four point lead they had.

Sometimes black and white photos are better than color

"Darryl Morsell just took a seat behind the Marquette bench, and Shaka Smart just came over to give him some love during halftime. #mubb"

Any coincidence the defense picked up?
