Relief

[Vander Blue Man Group]

We're just diehard fans that really have no impact on the end result (aside from creating an amazing home court advantage).

But man do I feel like such a weight has been lifted.  11 years for Marquette.  Longer for Shaka. 

Anyone else feel the same?

The sky's the limit for this program now.

100%.  Relief is the exact same word me and my buddies used after this one.  Really feels like we are truly back now.

This exactly

[HutchwasClutch]

After last year's early exit and living in the top 10 all year, yeah needed to get to next weekend or that would have hung heavy in the program and Shaka.

I love their chances Friday night too. One at a time.

Yes... relief

But, I'm super confident v NC ST

GO WARRIORS!!

Relief ( and exhilaration) right now.  But we're not done.   

[Johnny B]

Absolutely

[Goose]

No relief for me. I have trusted the process for three years and have watched a premier program be built. Past performances mean little to me. Two down!

[AlumKCof93]

If they lost today, this season would have been a disappointment.  Now, it's all in front of them.  So happy for Shaka and this team.

[BCHoopster]

Agreed, no reason MU can not beat NCS, Oso could have a field day against Burns, very slow.

[JakeBarnes]

Huge relief. And joy.

And a golden path in front of them. LFG

[MarquetteVol]

Tremendous relief. I believe in our team so much but weird things happen this time of year. First time as a Marquette fan I can remember wanting this so much more for the team versus me. These guys really deserve it and I'm happy to be along for the ride

Like everyone on scoop, I am a fan of the program, but I have never wanted a team to reach their goal more than this team. They have earned all of our respect and that is pretty damn cool. I hope they have the best two weeks of their lives and get the praise they deserve.

Satisfaction for a  job well done  Like walking out of the house that was on fire when you walked in but is now quiet and safe and ready for clean up.

Agree 100 percent - nice to have the validation with second weekend because we've done EVERYTHING else - love love love this program

Relief here as well.  Monkey finally off our back.  But Shaka still has some proving to do.  This team has the luxury of playing together for 3 years.  Colorado just took us to the wire and 2 of their best players Da Silva and Williams are freshman.   To truly build a power Shaka's recruiting needs to take another step up.  Better shooters, longer players.  And as we are seen as more of a power hopefully that will happen.  Combine his culture with higher recruiting level and we'll be able to reload.

Da Silva is a senior.

[Tyler COLEk]

Yes, let's stew on how we could emulate the team we just beat.

[mileskishnish72]

Relief, happiness, fatigue, and continuing anxiety.

[GoldenWarrior11]

Winning should never be a relief; however, with what our program and our head coach have lived through over the past ten years, a huge weight was lifted off everyone's shoulders today.

I will continue to enjoy the ride.

LOL, we are really going to trash how Shaka is building the program right now?

And not even get the details right.

My Gawd, this is the worst post-game post. Yeah, it's an opinion board, but what a take. Maybe you need to be an alum to thoroughly enjoy the win. That's the only way I can make some sense of this.
