Pur-didn't stop the triple double

[MU82]

Our win got nice play on Sportscenter, too. I know some here don't care about that, but any positive publicity is great for the program IMHO.

Actually, my favorite part was at the beginning of the game when the audio went out for the announcers, and I could actually watch the game.

Ya know, the volume can go down.

They show highlights on sportscaster? This isn't 2001

[Lennys Tap]

Yeah it's weird behavior. I hate them as much as the next guy, but not as much as I love this MU team. Focus on us.

I love Marquette WAY more than I hate UW. But I hate UW more than I love anybody not named Marquette.

Was there a 'messed around and got a triple double' reference?

OK, cool.

[StillWarriors]

The defense is disciplined and relentless, a great combination in my book.

Great description. Phenomenal to watch.

[StillWarriors]

Give some credit to Jop. So much made about his offensive game, but this guy has gone from a liability to genuine asset on the defensive side of the floor. His lateral quickness is night and day relative to earlier in his career.

It would be easy to let the shooting carry over to the defensive end. Tremendous growth mentally in addition to the incredible physical changes over the past couple years. The shot will start falling eventually and make MU even more dangerous. Until then, he is still contributing by busting his ass on D and on the boards. Impressive.

I have always hated UW, but it has become less strong over the past decade or so for various reason. That said, I really hope we bury them this year. That is the one blemish on Shaka's resume and hope it is a blowout in a couple of weeks.

Ya know, the volume can go down.

But without the commentating you got to hear the sounds of the game. The sneakers squeaking, the crowd, the players shouting. That was the cool part.

It was easy to get my ire up for Bo but Gard is like whatever. But for the love of God stop losing to them.

I'm already projecting (but what else is a message board for?) to the NCAA tournament. If Jop & Gold are hitting, this team seems capable of beating anyone.

That duo is also capable of going 2-for-19 and dropping a first rounder.

Should be a fun, if sometimes up-and-down, season.

Here's a nice X thread discussing Marquette's defense last night (with clips).

I thought that when your team beats a top 10 team the students are supposed to storm the court.

I guess Marquette students aren't as passionate as the UW students who stormed the court after the Badgers' win over Arizona last week. 🙄

Not when you're top 15. If we were outside the top 25, might have happened. Outside the top 25 and they were top 5 instead of 6, likely would've happened.

Very nice, good share

I continue to be surprised that people took that comment seriously.

It was a dig at Wisconsin fans not a criticism of Marquette.

MU students did not storm the court when unranked and unheralded MU beat Baylor two years ago, and I wouldn't have expected them to. I seriously doubt that fans who might think about storming the court are going to make a distinction between an opponent ranked number 5 vs number 6.

I think court storming is a silly and potentially dangerous practice that, if done at all, should be reserved for really big accomplishments.No game in November fits that definition.

Wisconsin basketball has had more than its share of big accomplishments over the years, including conference championships and Final Four appearances. A win over the number 9 ranked team in a game in which they were 4 point underdogs should not should not be seen as something extra special.

I understood what you were saying immediately.

I think its strange that on a night of a big victory, that a Marquette fan takes time to say "hey at least we didn't storm the court like Badger fans." I mean, who cares??

You should also post your court-storming guidelines to a UW board. I am sure they will take them seriously.

Like when we beat a 1-2 Notre Dame squad coached by Digger Phelps.

No game in November fits that definition.

It was December! Don't judge me. It was a bad, bad time.

Your first sentence says you're surpised people took your post seriously.  The rest of your post then explains that you meant it seriously.

Court storming is fun. Stop telling kids to get off your lawn.

They didn't storm the courts back when women weren't allowed to wear trousers and that's what we need to get back to

To be fair, I didn't notice the number of previous posts you had and assumed you were a Badger fan based on your username.

Tell that to the fans who tried to storm the field after the Badgers beat Michigan in football in 1993.

I heard that they get to vote now, too.

Pretty close with you, Lenny, but I would have to put No Dick in there as most hated.

Yes, that was OK, but muting Raft is a sin.
