Izzo-ver

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Agree, that's why I say average TKO and it's likely/possible they win.  I'm not blaming the thumb.  I'm being honestly critical, he was bad today

Got it - same page.

Izzo was masterful today.  I think a healthy Kolek makes that 50-50.

[FartyEightHours]

6-4 MSU

Question:

If this game was played 10 times .. what'd be the result?

TBH, I'm going with MSU 8, MU 2.    I think Izzo was masterful today and he'd well contain MU over multiple games.

We played our worst game of the season. An average effort wins this game by double digits.

[junglecat022]

Are the "other two" Kennedy and Wrightsil?  If Oso also left, MU would still have no open scholarships, as they are currently one over the limit.

Some discussion of Ellis (transfer), Keeyan (transfer), and Omax leaving (pro). Omax, as it currently stands, can't make NIL money as a Canadien.

I completely disagree. Marquette beats that team 9 of 10. I wasn't  t impressed with MSU at all

8-2??? You're nuts

[FartyEightHours]

Who cares?  It's just a hypothetical exercise.  When it counted MSU won.

So your are brilliant in your comments?

Maybe worst game. Only other game  I can think of is at uconn

Hahahaha. MU did this to themselves Izzo had nothing to do with it.

[willie warrior]

1. TKo is clearly hurting.  Affected everything. No EGB's today
2.  This team is resilient.  Never a doubt they would make it a game.
3.  Got a lead, got 3 happy.
4.  And turnover happy. 
5.  I felt the ending was inevitable after Omax's flagrant.  I felt MU would not get a close call the rest of the way.
6.  Shaka needed to use his timeouts sooner.  Take those two into the offseason.
7.  Free throws matter.
8.  Not a great day for the bench.
9.  Playing  an Izzo team in March and not playing your best game.... only one way it ends. Alas.
10. Three first year players, three second year players, three third year players.  Stick together. Next year could be amazing.

Agree with this. Hopefully players and Shaka learned from this. We do need another big that can protect the rim. Shaka needs to find one

Johnny, UConn did it to us. Today we did it to us.

come on, there's a reason izzo is so successful and MU is not. He's a brilliant coach with studs athletes. That gap was showcased today.

[mu_hilltopper]

MSU didn't impress me either .. they underperformed as well.  Over 10 games, coaching and their scheme would win 8.   Sorry.

Good grief what a silly take.  🙄

[Shooter McGavin]

Yup.  Tyler Kolek was a helluva player for Marquette this season.  He was bad today for whatever reason.  Marquette isn't here without him.  Marquette may very well be playing Thursday if he plays average today.  I'll still take him as my PG any day of the week

Absolutely.  We saw a completely different player in the tournament. That injury had to be a big reason for that.  I'll stick with Kolek next year any day of the week.  They'll be back in the same position next year and ready to roll. 

Was hoping for a little more experience before we were out (sweet sixteen or elite eight) but the Big East title * 2 and this game will be enough to propel them to wanting more.   The immediate future is all good.

[muhoops1]

MU will be more talented next year.  I forget how many Fr and Soph comprise this roster.  Infusion of talent will continue to help this team get better.  I got sucked in by this run and was unprepared for it's a rut end.  What make the tournament great!

I think of the improvement of the older players this year and if that progression continues for those guys and the frosh, no reason they can't be better next year.

No we didnt....TK did....everyone else did enough.

Doubling down on dumb.

Doubling down on dumb.

In a 10-game series (god this is a dumb argument) scheme would be adjusted anyway

Topper hasn't really had a positive opinion about Marquette hoops since Buzz left.

If you watched that game and didnt think MU pissed it away, then I dont even know what say.

They turned the ball over so often, when they could have extended the lead. Most of the turnovers were unforced and Kolek just playing bad. There is not a talent gap.  We are not talking about Izzo's career, just this game/season.
