Take those two out of the equation, throw in a terrible game for Castle, and foul trouble for DC and it's Newton Island. Valiant effort by him though.

Most of his misses occurred in the 1st half and contributed to thier building their big lead.

I agree. And the silver lining, if any, is that these games will give UConn the opportunity to figure it out.

Marquette still needs to play PC and at Creighton though.

Yeah there were a lot of times where he got it coming off a screen with Ashworth on his ass where he had a chance to either take it in for a midrange shot or hoist one and try to draw the foul with Ashworth so close. He was just off.

Good point
Yeah, the post is what caused the loss. Keep telling yourself thatIt could be worse! You could be @UCLJ0211
Would another loss actually be a good thing?
Well to everyone that thought we needed a loss, we got it. I hope nobody thinks we need another

Yeah but he seem to be grimacing in pain especially in the 2nd half. That is concerning.
He's not wrong. Even getting wide open looks, it's not easy for a team to shoot 60% from 3 and keep that up most of the game. Factor in UConn's poor 3 point shooting and you have the anatomy of a loss right there. Just one of those nights. Come back Saturday night and take it to Villanova.

I think its worth taking a step back and realizing we're so good that either:
1. You thought it was disappointing to lose to a top-15 team on the road within our conference, not to mention the third game in seven days, halfway across the country, or
2. You thought it was a good thing to lose because we were winning too much
As Aaron Rodgers once said, "R-E-L-A-X." I'm sure the coaching staff will use this as motivation and hopefully the guys realize it won't always be so easy. Only the third loss of the season. Long way to go, and we still firmly control our destiny in terms of the Big East.

UConn laid a big huge egg tonight after the dominating game this past weekend.
I would rather have this happen tonight than next month.
One thing I noticed once again. When Newton carries the team as he did tonight, UConn, at least this year seems to lose. This tells me that others are not doing the job.

Omg. We are going to have to win conference games to win the title? Who knew.
Is Marquette going undefeated? They were just smashed by their rival who didn’t make 15 3s in the game

My man, I don't think your post caused the loss. That would be silly.
It most likely caused you some future BY troubles though.

They were ready. We weren’t.
Anything can, but I doubt they will have another game with that sort of energy to feed off of. This was an everything game for them and their fans tonight.

I'm not sure 2 games constitutes a funk. He had 21 and 25 points the 2 games before that. He'll recover. He always does.

Why do they have 7 losses? I wish they were 23-4 and top 5 like they (maybe) should be?

I hope the kids are tougher than the fans in here because there is a lot of unnecessary doubt taking place.
The amount of teams that can do what Creighton just did with their roster is pretty small. That list gets smaller due to upsets as you go deeper in the tournament and realistically none of the games will be equal to road conference games.
Perfect storm against us and we couldn’t overcome. They are tough and still a real threat to win it all again Nothing changes

Some people thought we were unbeatable. Tonight just proved no team is unbeatable in the game of basketball.
