Rasslin' with the Red Storm

[tower912]

1. SJU made a choice to force Kolek to play defense.  On Stanley.  Also made a choice to put their heads down and drive, seeking contact.  MU obliged.
2.  In short, SJU was more physical and aggressive.
3. This team still gets 3 happy sometimes.
4.  That early 30-11 lead was fun.  See#2.
5. Turns out MU is still susceptible to bully ball.
6.  Not going to help the defensive stats.
7.  Glad TKo is at MU
8.  In the last couple of weeks, so many other contenders have lost games like this.   MU hasn't.
8. Put up 90+.  Needed them all.
8.  On to MSG.  Not going to be easy.

Premature posting.  SO BUSTED.

[CountryRoads]

Forgiven. Shaka thought it was over too.

[GoldenEagles03]

Never a doubt.

We get em again on Thursday.

[tower912]

The points are all still valid.   Barely.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Never a doubt 

Give St. John's and the horseshoe up their collective asses in that last minute a ton of credit. Yikes.

Terrible day for nolongerwarriors.  Thought he had a shining moment in a year of self-owns and being wrong about everything.  On top of it, Marquette won the Big East going away with an African-American coach which is what really burns him. 

[NickelDimer]

That MU troll job of nolongerwarriors the last minute was master class

[GoldenEagles03]

To be fair, Michael Kennedy had nothing to do with that last stretch.

St. John's hit ridiculous shots and got a great whistle.

Good on Shaka to get him back out.  Whatever.

[Aughnanure]

Please don't post these before the end of the game the rest of the year.

...phew

[CountryRoads]

Not upset at that end. Marquette kind of gave up and thought it was over and then "March" happened. That's a teachable moment for sure. Nice to have those lessons without losing.

Yup.  Have to play 40 minutes.  A lot of teams learned this the hard way over the last week

[Fred Garvin]

No longer already peddling his bike down to Walmart for half off Vadger gear!!!

[Herman Cain]

Johnnies have talented players . Games like this are never a given .

Missed free throws down the stretch hurt

Glad we got the win and now we go to the Garden with the full knowledge we have to show up for 40 minutes .

Oh please tell me more.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Whew.

I want absolutely nothing to do with SJU at the Garden. Huge Butler fan on Wednesday.

[GoldenWarrior11]

What did TK say to Stanley???

[tower912]

It worked.

[Fred Garvin]

No longer is my bitch!

[WarriorFan]

- those officials should never be allowed near a basketball game again.   The BEAST needs to do better
- Everything St.Johns did was a foul, for the whole game. 
- Probably see them again on Thursday.... just hope they don't hurt anyone, and lucky they didn't this game
- Rugby is less violent

[tower912]

Needed to pad the close win resume'.

[MUeng]

What did TK say to Stanley???

"we're going to Real Chili after the game, comin?"

[StillAWarrior]

Please don't post these before the end of the game the rest of the year.

...phew

Please. Why risk it? Do you get some kind of bonus if you post it three minutes earlier?

[lawdog77]

Was out running errands, got home turned the game on with Michael Kennedy coming in. Looked at the score and thought too soon. I scheduled an appt with my cardiologist  for Monday.

[PointWarrior]

STJ played out of their minds, got serious ref help, and had some crazy bullshit plays at the end.  Marquette still won.

Bring on STJ in the first round, we will pound them.
