Marquette Post Game Thread

[JMick]

Bigger concern is playing like a team that won’t get out of the first weekend

At least when we lose a 2/15 matchup it won't be as embarrassing as losing a 1/16

 

[Mister P]

Double bigs for 22 seconds.
That’s all I got.

I hate this league. No other teams do anything out of conference. We get like 3 opportunities for good wins and the rest of the teams are landmines that if we lose to them (which happens!) it just nukes our season.

If you can't beat the worst team in the league, it's a bit foolish to beg to be in a better league

 

[Giddyup5]

That seemed like a coaching game.

Why did we stop running the post pick and roll with Silas and tarris? They never had an answer.

Prob a game to play Malachi and Silas together. Malachi prob has the size and speed to stay in front of James.

Maybe have Mullins stop shooting 3s when he is 1/10.

 

[ColchVEGAS]

Did not get to watch the game but was following on my phone. Yikes. We need to shake this off and take revenge on the entire conference in the BE tournament. For just about the entirety of Big East conference play we have not looked like the same team we were out of conference.

 

[NickDanger]

Hurley is an balloon knot. There was no excuse for behaving like that at the end

 

[traitor71]

It seems clear that this team really needs opponents that catch their full attention. We can talk about playing for a share of the regular season title, road game environments, etc, but they just play far too many close games against teams that just aren't very good. Then you watch them play against the big time opponents on their schedule and it is totally different. Mind boggling really.

 

[Scrappy3]

Had a chance 🤷‍♂️

 

[FreeDogs]

Sila

Silas doesn't seem to be the guy.

We were so "off" today.

Silas was a bright spot. Karaban not loly gagging at the end there or a ref calling a foul and he would have tied the game.

 

[Trudy Gay]

Don’t you dare criticize this team. You need to go pay 300 dollars to sit in the nose bleeds to support them in the BET, while drunk St John’s fans berate you. You owe them that!!

 

[jorge34]

Tha #2 is a concern, too, if we don't win BE Championship.

They are trending towards a 3

 

[RioDog]

Alex a no show. Enough said.

Just Alex?

 

[storrsroars]

This team is the equivalent of the 2020 Pittsburgh steelers. Good record, not a very good team.

That's every Steelers team but two since 2008.

THAT team has no chance of getting out of the first weekend

 

[UCTitleTown]

Two horrible, inexcusable losses this season. Lost the Big East title and 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. I really need to think of a worse loss in the last 30 years with so much at stake. They definitely thought Marquette would phone it in today. Embarrassing. Can't wait to hear what Hurley says. This team seriously lacks toughness.

 

[Dibbie]

This is why I try to watch less sports as I get older. 6 Natties including 2 of the last 3, a 4 loss season and I’m pissed off and my weekend ruined. It’s win or feel like death

 

[Mr. French]

Well, I thought that Creighton loss then the turnaround was what this team needed. But man, they are frustrating and just not as locked in as they should be.

They can definitely still win it all, but these losses are awful. Especially after a week and a half break and 2 big wins.

 

[jorge34]

Not sure how you don’t come ready to win a Big East regular season title. Absolutely embarrassing from the coaching to the players.

Considering the circumstances that was the worst loss of the Hurley era.

 

[storrsroars]

The stats I'm having a hard time with: 14 Orebs to 3, 14 more shots taken. And they actually made almost all their FTs. In what world does that equate to a loss against a sub .500 team?

 

[CTBasketball]

Karaban can’t have that type of game, Mullins has to cool it he shot us out of the game, and the turnovers are just mentally weak players. Not sure the last part is changing.

 

[FLDawg16]

One of those unlucky games if you ask me. Had about twenty shots go in and out while they played lights out. Move on to the BET with a new fire

 

[BugsyCT]

Game had a bad feel for us from the start. We let them have their fun 1st half and never countered with more than a 4-5 point run 2nd half. We deserve to lose that game. Disappointing all around.

On to MSG.

 

[alphasigko]

Where are we gonna go if no one is calling?

 

[Fairfield_1st]

Alex a no show. Enough said.

Just wondering why you isolated Alex? Harris was the only starter that played well.

 

[MJKI]

Terrible game by Danny. Did not get the guys ready at all. Will be suspended probably for the first BET game. Just no subbing pattern, poor use of TOs. Poor all around and this falls on Dan.
A shoutout to Ross for playing hard at least. AK with a milk carton game

This… need to drop to 18 games… it’s a slog and inevitably over 20 games you’ll lose a couple to mediocre teams and it hurts you. No excuse for how they played today, but agree

 

[Kemba15]

That was just horrible. Shows we can really lose to anyone. Scary. I don’t think they’ll suspend Hurley for one game at MSG but it wouldn’t be wrong if they did

 

[Conndog]

Silas was fine today- it was UConn’s no offense against a decent zone. Guess what opposing teams will throw against UConn in the tournament? Mullins couldn’t hit anything from outside today. A lot went wrong today. Loved Ross though- he is showing his talent.

 

[willie99]

looked at the box score

the team didn't show

disappointing, but just not shocked, I don't know what to think

 

[UConn77]

I’m not going to pile on, as I’m sure many others will do that. Suffice it to say, they lost a game they should have easily won. This is a good team, but not a great one. Likely a Sweet Sixteen team at best and with some luck, maybe an Elite Eight team. But not an NC contender.
