Marquette Post Game Thread

[Stew Crew]

why were the double technicals called?

Spencer was definitely talking smack at Lowery after hitting a three about 15 seconds before the timeout. Lowery apparently took exception and tried going after someone, presumably Spencer. Didn’t see enough to know why Samson got teed up.

 

[superjohn]

Come on man. You know the answer to this lmao

It's weird.

 

[husky429]

I have a strong suspicion at least one of the two will be running a program before Dan Hurley leaves here.

Both have been looking. Wouldn't be surprised if they both left this off-season. Will probably depend on what opens up in their recruiting territory.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Indeed

This team is leaning into the villain role and I’m here for it. This freaking psychopath (said with love of course), Newton’s trash talk, and Hurley on the sidelines….

Have heard Kimani is having trouble because of his past.

 

[MexicoHusky]

When Marquette didnt put Clingan into foul trouble the game was over.

 

[Storrs South]

Have heard Kimani is having trouble because of his past.

I can't believe in 2024 that anyone can seriously be aggrieved by his past. Sure it makes all of us here happy to continue to see him here given the incredible job he's done but I think we all want to see him continue to grow and succeed and that's such a lame cop out for ADs to get up and arms about stuff that happened so long ago involving a substance that is now mostly legal.

 

[businesslawyer]

Castle and AK combined 3 baskets in blowing out the number 4 team in the Nation.
This stat alone confirms this was not our A game. How scary is that?

One of the things that makes this team so good is that you can’t stop us on offense by taking one, or even two, players out of the game. We have too many who can pick up the load and replace their points.

Oh, and you’re also going to have to be able to score against us. Good luck with that.

Come on man. You know the answer to this lmao

To be fair, I kind of thought Kolek was an balloon knot when I watched him in 6th grade. When a cocky 6th grader destroys a bunch of 8th graders, and acts like it was easy, that's the impression he gives off.

I don't know about Colin, but Cam and Tyler are usually the worst athletes on the court. So they are kicking your ass with their brains. Then they let you know, often. I think that really bothers some people. There's no slow gear for guys like that, because I imagine they think, "you're faster, taller and can jump better than me, so do something about me kicking your butt".

The one person I know in the coaching world didn't have kind things to say about him. Somebody will give him a shot, but it's personality as much as past from what I understand.

“The only matchup of the day between top-five opponents wound up being one of the biggest snoozers of the weekend. No. 1 UConn stuffed No. 4 Marquette in a locker and threw away the keys early in what amounted to a 40-minute celebration for Huskies fans. UConn won 81-53, which marked the largest margin of victory ever in a top-five conference matchup since the beginning of the AP Top 25 poll (which, by the way, celebrated its 75th anniversary earlier this year). Woof. It wasn't even a bad loss for Marquette. It was just an old-fashioned butt whooping from UConn. There is no doubt about where the best team in college basketball resides: it is in Storrs, Connecticut. -- Kyle Boone”

[uconngb]

im really excited to see uconn play some actual teams in the tournament instead of the bums they are forced to play. the 30 point blowouts are boring, by the time i check the score there's no point in watching.

Hey congrats on beating directional FL team by 2 points tonight. Massive accomplishment by an also ran in a middling conference.

I wonder which game will get more National attention??!!??!

Go beat Xavier then come back and see us

 

[AllHusky]

Very happy about the big win. If there is anything to be concerned about it's keeping these guys level headed.

A win like this can make them overconfident. There's still a lot of basketball left to play.

They need to stay hungry. I think Hurley will keep them focused

Cam Spencer and the 5 frosh have not won an NCAA Championship, nobody on the team has a Big East regular or tourney Crown. They are hungry!!

 

[Waquoit]

Every rich AD with an opening is going to throw a bag at Hurley.

Kentucky would back up a row brinks trucks on his front lawn.

So what's the play here? Throw a bag in a truck?

Have heard Kimani is having trouble because of his past.

Clingans dunk and camera point is iconic. Its up there with Donyells dunk and shout. Could someone please clip that.

 

[willie99]

No, I don't want Seth jumping on our bandwagon

We're best when he's picking against us

 

[willie99]

Mr. XL has a question for you;

How do you like me now? The team was awesome. The coaching was awesome and the fans were awesome

That was fun

PS: Both buildings have a purpose

Sweep the leg

 

[Leebo]

Purdue fans' assessment of the game is "the arena was like a morgue" and the result was mostly Marquette playing poorly.

 

[Bonamassa]

wow.

Determination.
Demoralization.
Devastation
Domination.
Destruction.

You forgot "decent".

Jack in the Bean S. stuff. Loved watching it, get out of my way and they did!

XL was super yesterday Purdue fans are very jealous of most teams who can get to the round of 32 anyway!

 

[willie99]

CONNECTICUT is CONNECTED

 

[Bonamassa]

Man, I love him.

Did anyone see at the end of warm-ups just before the start of the game? Marquette at their side of the court and UConn at the other. Except for Spencer. He launched a deep 3 over all of the Marquette players on their side of the court into their basket.
I love him. He's such a pr_ck!

Spoiler: pretty sad.

Point #6 from the OP is legendary pessimism turned realism lol

6. I admired the optimism of all who seriously thought MU could win this game. I wondered what you had been watching, but I admired it. I always thought double digit loss.

 

[OceanDoggie]

If Hurley leads this team to another title we for sure will have to pay up because there are others that are willing and able to. Kentucky would back up a row brinks trucks on his front lawn.

[imno1]

I hate saying this, but we may never see this team play their A game, and STILL win the championship. We are that good, it seems.

I believe that was pretty much an A game. The team could have shot it a little better from 3 but both our offense and defense played at a very elite level. No one in the country could have beaten us yesterday. Some here think to play our A game we can't miss a shot or let the other team score. Considering this was an in-conference game against the #4 team in the country I don't know if we could have played any better.

 

[freescooter]

We blew out the #4(??) team in the country and we won’t through stretched where we couldn’t score. Start of the 2nd half for example. Karaban couldn’t hit The ocean with a handful of peanuts. We turned the ball over. But the defense was stifling. I think, and have thought for a while that Marquette was over rated. Top 15 maybe, but if they are the #4 team in the country,college basketball is in a pretty sad state. And for all the toughness and attitude they supposedly had, they quit midway through the 2nd half. The defining play was when Spenser and their guy crash to the floor under the basket. Spenser got up ran the lengths of the court and scored. The Marquette guy stayed down the jogged down the court out of the play.

Fox‘s pregame hype was pretty funny, too. Marquette this, Marquette that. Shaka this and that. 8 game winning streak. Oh and the team they are playing is pretty good too. But credit where credit is due, Donny was solid and Brando was sober, I think.
