Our day will come

[DoctorV]

Great game to be at despite the sloppy play for Marquette.
Sometimes the master outcoaches and outplays the student.
Despite being in the business for a while Shaka has a lot to learn from Izzo, just like TyKo has a lot to learn from Hoggard.
Upper class leadership matters.

Marquette's day will come.

We Are Marquette.

Amazing season

Not good to blow a 2 seed.   This now becomes another chapter in the long book of NCAAT Failures by MU.

What school doesn't have a long book of NCAAT "failures?"

Rush ... try again.

Was today not a failure?-

Good perspective. Although our current chapter is running longer than anyone expected.

Yes, it was a terrible game. They played awful. It's a one and done tournament played by kids. They played their asses off all year and if the only thing your brain can summon when it ends is "just another in a long line of failures" then you're a child. It's a sport.  They play for our entertainment and it was a very entertaining year.

[NCMUFan]

We got one round farther than last year.
Maybe next year we get to the Sweet 16.
The program is in the right direction.
See ya next year.

This is what makes some of you Scoopers insufferable.  It was a failure in a long line of recent failures.  Just admit it and stop trying to make excuses or attack people who state the truth you don't want to hear.  Your reaction is that of a child - lashing out at those who say things you don't want to hear.

Respect for not mocking the hell out of the board like that f..uk no longer. I agree.
It was a failure. Horrendous performance and I still can't get over it. Such a special team plays this bad in the tournament. Hurts big time.

[DoctorV]

This team went 29-7.

This team finished the season 20-3 in their last 23.

The moment was too big for everyone involved, the experience was not there and it was one bad game on the biggest stage.

This team was still 29-7.

30 wins is next. You can either complain and be miserable or cherish the memories they gave us all and be excited about next November.

Choose wisely, as life is short.

[Dickthedribbler]

How would anyone like to be Matt Painter or Tony Bennett?? What do they tell their fans when they go to the office tomorrow.

[pbiflyer]

You know I used to think scoop had some complete a holes that were miserable people in real life. Today I learned that some was an underestimate.
Wishfully I am hoping most are just trolls and their mom will soon be calling down to the basement to tell them their dinner is ready. But sadly I think there are just more insufferable people here than my pessimistic view thought.

Tough draw. Izzo is a HOF coach and it showed. At some point we need to beat the blue bloods to get to the second weekend.

Hopefully that will come. Shaka and players must learn from this. They forgot no finish line. The rotation needs a big that can protect the rim and drives. Is Gold that guy given he plays a lot on perimeter.

I cringed when I saw MSU was in our pod. Our track record against them is abysmal; now 2-11. That being said, what a wonderful, fun season. I hope they all return for what should be a magical next season.

Amazing season

I never expected that we would have the season we did. Of course the loss was disappointing, but it is heavily outweighed by this season's success. I absolutely refuse to define the season by yesterday's painful loss, although I believe some here seem all too willing to do so. While the loss saddened me, what was really disappointing to me was the Scoopers who immediately ripped our team. as if Shaka and the team are personally accountable to them. I understand critiquing a game, but it seemed that some of the comments were way over the top.

Doctor V, I agree with almost all that you wrote. My one quibble is with the title. Our day has already dawned. It is the Shaka Era and our future is very bright.

Borrowing some lyrics from a late 80's song, Don't Worry. Be Happy. That is my suggestion for a motto going forward.

Well we won the Big East reg season and BET.  Won our first NCCA tournament game.  Not too shabby given expectations coming into year.

By your own standards then you would have a long book of failures in your own life.

I get jazzed often about my "knowing ball" statement and I will say it again. Anyone that is flat out ripping yesterday or calling the season a failure, simply does not know ball. We see often in the game threads and some folks just get crazy.

The biggest negative from yesterday for me, the season I did not want to end, ended. I told my wife after the BET that is they win the NC it would still be bittersweet for me.

[tower912]

29-7.    One bad game.     

Sun came up.   Go, Marquette.

No one should be "ripping the team" but it's difficult to take a moral victory right now.  I don't think after watching this team the past few months anyone expected us to play so poorly Scoop Snoop.  That's what is so frustrating right at this moment.
