WKU game thread

[Cream Biggums]

When's the last 2 seed to have a double digit loss to a 15

St Peter's is the only 15 seed to win by more than 10

[willie warrior]

Hate to pile on the kid but Oso feels like he's been the biggest issue

He is not ready for the NBA and is proving it, just like he did against UConn.

[jesmu84]

Reminds of early season losses with lots of missed open 3s

[Johnny B]

I'm just shocked at that run: how do you explain. Them playing out of their minds like never before? Marquettes worse stretch of the season?

[The Sultan]

Going big was a bad idea. They couldn't guard the perimeter, WKU started hitting shots, and started rolling.

[BM1090]

Oso is a huge problem in his head right now. He needs to figure it out.

[Dish]

It's beyond frustrating how they came out today. No idea what Kam was doing to start the game. That blown layup attempt...wtf was that? Most of these turnovers are unexplainable. The free throw shooting has been atrocious.

Other than that, everything else is great.

[Afroman]

Oso is gonna play in the NBA?

[FairWeatherEagle]

Some people get cute when game threads melt down when we're losing to a lesser team but this demands a meltdown!

A different MU team better walk out the second half.
WKU not going to fold but we are a lot better than this.

I was called a troll last week when I said when the lights are brightest Marquette shrinks.  I said just wait until next week and I was attacked.  They may still win this game but no one should have any confidence in this team in March.  Give  this had been a decade plus issue, we need to question not just this team but is there something with the program that needs to change?  We changed coaches and for all Shaka's success, Marquette continues to shrink in March.

[Johnny B]

They have a lot of size and speed. Marquette struggling to get good looks it's shocking. They are not playing anything near a 15 seed. Probably the best first half from a 15 ever.

[Mu8891]

Ummmm .... Lots of this IS on SHAKA

HES 1 -7 in last seven tournaments.

This is HORRIBLE

[BM1090]

I truly don't think so. It wasn't personnel. They were confused and not communicating defensively. We've been so good defensively lately because of aggressiveness and communication. We didn't do either.

Come out strong and use it as a springboard. First five mins will tell us a lot.

Nothing demands a meltdown. But your second paragraph is spot on.

[GoldenEagles03]

Feels like we already lost with the level of scatter going on out there.

They went down 9 and answered with a punch. We went down 1 and panicked.

[Judge Smails]

One of the most frustrating halves of basketball I've ever watched

I hear this every year.  Some how Marquette always gets the team that plays way better than their seed.  At some point you maybe have to accept the issue is with Marquette.

Like in the BET last year against national champion UConn? Or against a top 10 Xavier.

[Big Papi]

Kam and Oso need to show up.
Shaka is getting outcoached.

Stop chucking 3s.
Take and finish in the paint.
Defend the 2 guys who are lights out.

[warriorfred]

It's been the same all season, the entire team disappears for long stretches.  A ton of missed shots. There is no one on this team that can fill the gap.

[BM1090]

So far the issue today has been Marquette. Acting like that's always the case is insane.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Bewildered by Oso.  Not even looking at the basket.  That push shot is there and he hasn't attempted one. 

Nightmare of a 1st half...hard to even believe. 

[Newsdreams]

Oso is not ready for big time.

LOL

[WellsstreetWanderer]

I think we'll adjust but their speed and length are trouble. Need OSO to get involved

[MUUWUWM]

What a bunch of kitten posters.
