The Randy Quaid character in Major League 2

Always curious why certain posters are loudest after losses but disappear when things are good.

Ask Farley. He's definitely not a troll and I'm sure he'll provide thoughtful, logical answer.

on the court +/-.

How marquette does when they play

The worst metric there is.

There are certain members of the scoop community that visit the site more often after a  bad performance. Then, there are some that are fence sitters that get a bit louder after a bad performance. Unfortunately, they likely will have the last word after every season's last game.

[MuggsyB]

We lost our poise and cannot beat elite teams if Tyko plays poorly.  Give them credit but the margin of victory means less than people think.  And yes, everyone is vulnerable in the NCAA tournament this year including UCONN and Purdue.  There's nothing good at all from this loss but there's plenty of basketball left and time to bounce back.

Because this place is dull as unnatural carnal knowledge all other times.  Why would anyone  come here to see a bunch of boomers have a circle jerk because some 18-24 year old kids won a basketball game.  It's really only in the chaos of loss that this site becomes entertaining.

[HutchwasClutch]

Or rebounding or consistent outside shooting.

All it takes is one bad shooting game and MU can be beaten by any team in the tournament with a seed of 15 or higher.

💯 I'd probably say 12 or 13 and higher, but that's nitpicking.  This is a good team, but make Kolek average or worse and they are so beatable. No depth and very inconsistent play all year by everyone else except Oso.

Muggsy, at least you got to see a complete 40 minute performance of a team going medieval.... Just when most thought it wasn't possible

You can say that about every other team frankly.  UCONN and Purdue have separated themselves a bit but it's not like they're unbeatable.

Always the loudest in the room.  Very peculiar

A team currently slated as a 2 seed should not be completely dismantled like this.  So yes the margin is relevant. And they were badly exposed and outplayed by totally mediocre teams - see Providence, Wisconsin, and Butler, making today was an aberration argument very specious.

That's not true.  UCONN did not shoot the triple well at all in the 1H.  We didn't show up and lost our composure.  Tyko cannot allow physical perimeter defense to completely take him out of the game.  And he also needs other guys to alleviate the pressure he faces to make most of the plays for us vs a set defense.

This is so f'n perfect

That's pretty much my point, little if anything separates us from most of what the rest of the field will end up being. There's nothing special this year.  Kolek has had way more nights where he's not that effective this year compared to last and the supporting cast has often been disappointing with virtually no help from the bench like they had last year.

So they didn't go full medieval and still won by the biggest top 5 margin in history?

What is full medieval then? Asking for a friend

They shouldn't, that's correct.  Arizona shouldn't lose to Oregon St.  Purdue shouldn't get blown out by Nebraska.

I will explain full medieval when someone goes full medieval.

Muggsy, tonight was full medieval.

If it wasn't I'm really scared.

[tower912]

If you don't like it, use the ignore feature.  Just like NLW, you know what Farley36 is.  Letting him annoy you is letting him win.  He is trolling and you are Asian carp.   If it wasn't so fun and easy, he wouldn't do it.

[Uncle Rico]

No, Marquette basketball is and circle jerks.

What's the fascination by people using that phrase on scoop?  Must be a Jesuit thing

[MuggsyB]

Dr.V, I believe they shot  37% in the 1st half and like 20% from 3.  Our ineptitude was part of the equation.

I have no idea why some on here let other posters get them so pissed off. I am fan of Farley because he had two degrees from MU and I hope he paid retail for both.

[tower912]

Farley isn't the first poster to only come out after losses.  It was an entire industry under Wojo.   Chico used to become much more active after Buzz losses.  Some posters just like to vent.   Their right.   Farley likes to troll after losses.   His right.   Can't take it personally or seriously.
