Blue ball for the trolls

[tower912]

NLW and Farley with unused socks and tissue.
1. For me, when OMax got called for the T and Stevie picked up his second foul with that ridiculously weak push off, I had a chill go down my spine.  I had an inkling what was coming.  Can't afford to have Stevie out of the game and OMax flustered. 
2.  All year, MU has made adjustments at halftime.
3.  I thought Shaka went to his bench at the wrong  time in the second half.  Got the lead, sat Kolek, Stevie, and OMax.  SJU regained momentum.
4.  Posh is back to his old self.  Stealing defensive rebounds. 
5. And Soriano blocks. All of the SJU defense for that matter.
6.  I really thought SJU would do the isolation for Addae-Wusu all day.  MU really does not match up well with him.
6. Poor decisions down the stretch by those who usually don't make those mistakes.   Oso 2x.  Stevie.
7.  Other than Ross, not much from the bench.
8.  Free throws matta.
9. Big East tourney.  Freaking slog.
10.  Advance.   Move on.

Sorry but I was one of the sole optimistic voices today.  Nice try.

MU is so primed for a deep NCAA run!

Watch out UCONN!!

Who do you think Wisco draws in the first round of the NIT?

[PGsHeroes32]

Wins a win this time of year.

Gotta play way better to even have a prayer vs Uconn but glad to at least make the semis.

[CountryRoads]

Any win this time of the year is a great one. Expecting us to play better tomorrow night.

So was it the StJ defense that caused us to slow the pace, leave TyKo on the perimeter, little movement for a lot of the game? When TyKo drove, when we moved, when we spaced we were successful. Seemed like a strange one on offense. Excellent defensive effort in key moments. I LOVE the double when the dribbler turns his back. Maybe now we will be loose and have a little fun.

Teams that defend with physicality are going to continue to give us trouble. I knew this one wouldn't be easy. I know tomorrow won't be either regardless of the opponent.

Today everyone is a badger troll

Win tomorrow - great.  If we lose, just get out of the game healthy. 

At this point staying healthy is what matters most.

Agreed, but we often didn't even make them defend. Were they in some sort of zone ish set? I didn't quite understand the offensive game plan.

Get the crap game under the belt and move on.

9 for 34 from three.  Oso has 7 turnovers. Sloppy, stupid team turnovers, at least 8 of them and still win.  It was defense after the half and without the fouling points, no SJU baskets in OT.

Sidenote:  On Omax technical, he was not called for hanging on rim.  After he released from the hoop, he turned around and barked something at SJU player.  That's when ref teed him up.  Just watched the replay. 

Just thank goodness this wasn't UCONN today and congrats to Shaka for first BE victory.

They were in a zone in the sense that teams aren't going to guard Oso and they're going to clog up the cutting lanes off of him.

Do you ever stop trying to prove you're a 15 year old boy.  What exactly caused you to stop maturing? 😂

Agreed, there was an awful lot of negativity from Scoopers today.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Farley is gooning bad rn.

[mu_hilltopper]

Speaking for myself, I will only be happy with 11 straight demoralizing victories to end the season.

[tower912]

SBU is so cute on them.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Things turned around after I stopped following the game.

Ugly game reflected in the box score.  Played like crap but still gutted out a win.  Survive and advance!

[mugrad_89]

Chase had some really good minutes today.

[muwarrior97]

Agreed, there was an awful lot of negativity from Scoopers today.

They are probably quite quiet now......freezing cold takes SCONNIE-style!

That settles it.  You are no longer allowed to watch any more Marquette games for the rest of the season.

[5DollarPitcher]

Not our best performance, by a longshot.

But poor refereeing and seemingly conscious bias from this crew in favor of St. John's (great example - the Oso tip out of bounds off SJU player's hands that needed to get overturned) put us in an uphill climb from tip.  The Big East should be embarrassed by Mr High Legs and his pathetic, desperate cries for attention.

[tower912]

They did look like WWE refs for a significant stretch.
