MU/Johnnies Game Thread

[Elonsmusk]

Gotta go back to Royce.  Ben just lacking in confidence.  St. John's maybe cools off a little bit, and we get back in the game.

Gus rallying about St. John's D after Mitchell takes a poor wide open 3 point shot.

Part of Marquette's problems this season is in a tight game, when their opponent finally takes the lead in the second half, MU's next shot attempt is usually an awful decision. Then of course their opponent goes down and hits a 3.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Shaka said the winner will be whoever commits more fouls and doesn't get called.    He knows what's going on.  So get in the officials face.  Man.  Let's Go Marquette!

😂😂😂

[MUeng]

Rj Luis just does what he wants out there. He looks like a pro. St John's is just so good this year

[BM1090]

That's because the refereeing has been fine.

So many low knowledge Scoopers finding their usual excuses.

Can we just agree that college refs suck and it's something we have to live with. There refs have not been "fine". It's bad. Like it almost always is.

But it's NOT one sided and not a reason we're losing.

Chase Ross continues to make painful mistakes and Jop is being Jop.

And Gold is a ghost out there

That's what I mean by fine. It's fair. And that's about the best you can get.

[Norm]

We have terrible Jop today. Sit him for a bit.

[GoldenEagles03]

Joplin gets hammered by Ejiofor down low and blocked by Kadary, no call.

Goes the other way, auto whistle at the rim.

[GB Warrior]

Jop had an open 3 and decided to put it on the floor.

[jfp61]

BENCH Jop

[jesmu84]

Lol jop

[BM1090]

Bad Jop tonight. I'd roll with Kam, Chase, Zaide, Ben, Stevie or Royce.

[MuggsyB]

Wow.  No idea why Jop didn't rise and fire there.  Gotta be there mentally. 

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Jop driving again and turns it over as usual

[21Jumpstreet]

Gotta take that three Jop

[PGsHeroes32]

Yup. Horrendous Jop is back

The man just picks games where he is going to single handedly torpedo a game. All that matters is if he does this in the tournament for a second straight year.

[MUEng92]

I suppose I shouldn't be annoyed by FOX showing Walter Berry so much when Peacock interviewed Wade for 5 minutes of game time yesterday

[mileskishnish72]

I hate it when Jop drives.

[mugrad_89]

Jop had an open 3 and decided to put it on the floor.

He got fouled, and then Luis traveled before he got fouled.

[MuggsyB]

Kam may have to go solo.  Getting zero help right now. 

[nyg]

So bad, Joplin gives up wide open three to drive and get blocked
MU scared to shoot the three now. Gold did last possession.
0 for last 10 threes.

And another foul on SJU shooter.

Lots of time left. Shaka better get in their heads

[warriors141]

When things are going bad for us...Jop is always there to throw some more gas on the fire

Dude, Jop's lucky he didn't have to eat the ball that was such a weak drive. This is 100% what I'm talking about. Be less biased. No way that's a foul.

[Elonsmusk]

We have terrible Jop today. Sit him for a bit.

Swear Jop is the most maddening player I recall at MU, maybe ever.  It's like he either plays a very good game, or he plays like crap.  So inconsistent.  Yet it seemed like he found some real footing these last 3-4 games and hit a groove.  And then we have tonight.  Facepalm
