MU @ Xavier game thread

[MDMU04]

I love this team so much

[Uncle Rico]

Getting ass-kicked by X deserves a 4-seed

Still a 4-seed?

[WarriorFan]

3 refs and Val Ackerman should be fired after that game.  If the BEAST wants to put a good product on the court and on the TV, they cannot hire clowns like that to officiate.  It has happened far too often.  The best "basketball" conference needs to have professional refs.

pulled-up our pants to a 3, it seems

[Uncle Rico]

Xaviers 3-8 is better than our 3-8.

Oh, yeah?

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Good win, but not a great performance.

Pretty good performance considering the circumstances. 

[Vander Blue Man Group]

They won despite having their heads "buried in their asses"

Did he hit the under on butt stuff, though?

[Viper]

Oh, yeah?

...replying after the fact gets you a double T and a seat with Jop on the pines

[Uncle Rico]

Yes

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Yes

That's a shocker.   

[TSmith34, Inc.]

3-seed is a tad disappointing. We're better than CU, I have no doubt. Played a tougher NC schedule too

The internet needs more eye roll emojis

Stevie and Ben had GREAT 2nd halves.

Joplin and Chase still weren't close to good, but at least chipped in 10 points in that 2nd half vs. 0 in the 1st.

Viper's brother-in-law rolls his eyes a lot

Missed shots will happen but rough game for Jop defensively. 

[Tyler COLEk]

Good win, but not a great performance.

Yes it was. There are very few teams in the country that could compete at the level Marquette did today without their All-American best player. Punctuated by a very poised closeout in the final five minutes. This is college basketball, games are almost always messy.

especially when the refs dung their pants

I think Xavier played inspired... Senior night I think

Marquette just beat an inspired Xavier. We were as a team, solid.   I know FTs and let downs and Jop could be better... But we were solid. Xavier playing great couldn't handle it.

I'm encouraged!

So now it will be Villanova on Thursday unless Providence knocks off UConn.

Then it would be St. John's.

[Goose]

Very good win by MU. Aside from the timing of Kolek's injury, I think it was a great three game test for the rest of team. Far better than playing the lower half of the conference.

Posts about reffing are like the bat signal for Sultan.

What's wrong with Jop?  Seems like we have been saying that most of the season.  And lately, Ross.

Some players play better coming off bench.  Ross has been starting last three games and I still don't think he has a made field goal.

Jop had an off night. It happens.

Gutsy-ass win. Kam's best game in a Marquette uniform. Stevie was fuggin' nails down the stretch.

Avoided the rake and on to NYC.

He had one today. Got to the line and played some solid defense.

Going to be a big summer for him.
