Lo-Blow

[tower912]

1.  Helluva game. 
2. Dent finally stepped up late. 
3. Joplin on the other hand.... well done and thank you for keeping MU in the game.
4.  Turning point was the non-foul call on Joplin.   Air went out of the balloon.  Felt inevitable at that point.
5.  Too many missed lay ups.
6.  Lobo length was impactful.
7.  Needed more from Stevie, Chase, Royce, Zaide.
8. In the end, Kam playing poorly,
 missing lay ups, making poor decisions, was the dagger.   Alas.
9.  Thanks for a fun and enjoyable season, MU.

Woof. Not good.

Depressing end to this era of Marquette basketball.

So only 5 of their top 7 sucked?  including our al american?

[MuggsyB]

We all have to do a lot of soul searching.

So only 5 of their top 6 sucked?

Tonight, they were not good.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

That was amongst the worst fucking 5 minutes I have ever seen. Stupid play after stupid play and inability to hit bunnies. Unfuckingreal.

9.  Thanks for a fun and enjoyable season, MU.

I enjoyed the 2024 portion but after that it was just not enjoyable.

Time for Shaka to swallow his pride and stop being cute with the recruit team building mentality and bring in some more difference-makers.

Stevie finishes with 2 points...leaving him 4 shy of 1,000 in his career. That's too bad.

Could've had all 3 Seniors in the 1,000 point club.

[GoldenWarrior11]

10. Not having a true center, true point guard and really no consistent production from the bench really limited the ceiling of this year's team. 

As a whole, grateful for another NCAAT appearances and a mostly ranked season.  Still in disbelief we were a top-10 team just two months ago. We regressed in production and didn't get better as the season went on.

Hoping there's a serious reflection about the roster next year.  What's coming back and what's coming in probably isn't as good as this year's team, sadly.

I think at the end of the day, needing Kam to play point was the undoing of the team by the end of the season. We know what he could do when we had Kolek.

[Boone]

I'm still optimistic...about this season

[tower912]

He was an all American doing what he did. 

[PGsHeroes32]

Can we please now that the year is over be objective??

This was not a fun last 3 months. It was bad. Objective. If you care. It was bad.

It was a good non con. A horrible way for all timers to go out.

Helluva a game is one of the more outrageously comical things Ive ever heard

[MU24]

Makes you wonder what having Sean Jones would have done for this team. No other ball handler besides Kam was brutal

[Pakuni]

Four straight years of losing to a lower seed. Five straight for Shaka.
Not a great trend.

Marquette closed as a 4.5 point favorite.  Marquette was pitiful in crunch time.  I'm proud to be an MU fan, but this was not a "helluva game."  It got away from MU with under five to go and became an easy NM win. 

[warriors141]

Just a disappointing end to the season, a wojo-like collapse. Shakas team certainly do not over-perform in the tourney

[NCMUFan]

Looking forward to next year.  Who knows, may be pleasantly surprised.

Booking my tickets for the crown now

[Elonsmusk]

Feel bad for Stevie to go out on a low note. Yet almost wonder if he is so banged up, and perhaps even slightly concussed from that massive collision in Big East tourney - kind of like Oso last year.

Also unfortunate Kam didn't have a great game either. Kudos to Jop for balling out.

Thankfully I didn't have to watch the 2nd half due to dinner reservations

[warriors141]

Yes and calling this a helluva game is completely laughable....we fricken lost and the season is done. Helluva game for the lobos i suppose

[Judge Smails]

Agree it wasn't a hell of a game. We played like crap down the stretch

[83ENG]

Just saw UConn throw the ball away on two inbounds plays within a couple minutes, so there's that.

[TFlegend]

1.  Dent>Kam
2.  How is it possible NM has a bigger, stronger, more athletic, more talented roster than we do?  That shouldn't be the case
3.  Kam and Stevie, who I will miss, couldn't have come up smaller.
4.  Joplin, who I won't miss, nice game. 
5.  This roster needs a massive upgrade.  Hit the portal. 
6.  The offense was atrocious since January.  We cannot continue this iso ball BS with below average talent.  Every team has a few sets that gets them an easy bucket.  NM certainly did.  We can't even get the ball inbounded, let alone some ball/player movement to get a easy basket. 
7.  The underachieving in March is getting old. 
8.  That was not a fun and enjoyable season.

Cant say that around the CoS...
