Marquette Post Game Thread

The only silver lining I can find is recalling how the 2014 team got smoked by Louisville 81-48 in the season finale. But Louisville was ranked 11th in the country at that time so there's not a ton of similarities.

Silas was fouled...not even a close call! Total joke

Too bad UConn waited until 4 mins left to start playing and let the refs blow the call.

That wasn't getting called at that point unless it was egregious. It looked like Gold may have slightly dipped his arm and got him but in real time he looked pretty vertical to me. Just Hurley venting over finalizing a face-plant against the worst team in the league, lost regular season title, and lost one seed in that one play.
 
Wonder if St. Johns will go on another cross country celebration tour for winning the BE regular season title.
 
The check engine light was on for a long time, the car caught on fire today.

Inexplicable performance after a week off. Inexplicable for the team to go away from Tarris. Inexplicable for AK to not even show up in the last regular season game of his career. Mullins bricked everything from three but they were pretty much all wide open and he's a freshman, I give him a little bit of a pass.

Hurley had a week off with the guys. Sometimes horrible shooting happens and it sure happened today. We were missing wide open ones for a lot of the game but there's no reason for them to look this disjointed in March and there was no reason for them to start jacking up bad shots instead of going down low to Tarris later in the game.

One of Hurley's worst performances. Team looked unprepared, they completely abandoned what was working and they were undisciplined. Hurley capped it all off by getting in the refs face and getting tossed after the game was over.

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
Expand ...
Why would he be suspended?
 
I keep seeing draft board updates from respected media like Wasserman(BR) and Vecenie(The Athletic) who talk to team execs/scouts who say they're not worried about Mullins not putting up crazy counting stats compared to the other elite freshmen because of the system and UConn's balance. Forget big counting stats, at what point should he actually be expected to play well? He'll take the occasional deep long ball that he never makes but he's consistently bricking wide open shots. It felt like board consensus that after he got settled into the lineup that he would emerge as our best player and he's not anywhere close to that. This game would have been a dbl digit halftime lead if he could make an open shot other than an non contested lay-up.

Wrong. #1 is severely in jeopardy if not already gone but we could lose in the quarters and keep the #2 considering how flawed all the projected 2-line teams are (which presumably no longer includes Florida).

Playing Florida in a blue would be terrible. Terrible.

Not sure how you don’t come ready to win a Big East regular season title. Absolutely embarrassing from the coaching to the players.
Expand ...
Not just the coaches & players.
We fans were distracted, internally combatant, and more interested in being right than supporting the team in being focused on the only game that mattered this week.
It happens.
 
Well, at least the free throw shooting was awesome today.

When you shoot 3/24 on 3's, your "sniper" is 1/10 including many open looks, and then 10 (!) steals, what can you expect?

This team is the equivalent of the 2020 Pittsburgh steelers. Good record, not a very good team.
Expand ...
If I’m remembering the right year, they lost key players after a great start..plus were forced to play 3 games in 10 or 11 days.

One of the worst losses in a long long time. Too many mistakes on a continuous basis. How can you feel good about any postseason chances?! Just gifted St John’s a reg season championship.
Expand ...
A long long time? Did you not see the Creighton loss a couple of weeks ago?

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.
Expand ...
Well they were right about one thing: one team definitely did phone it in

Stuff to be worried about sure, but we will see how they look when they start playing basketball again in a 12 or 13 days.

This team is so confusing... And the staff needs to do some serious self-reflection. Hope they can pull it together.

Is anyone really worried about seeding after watching that???
Expand ...
Good rhetorical question. I never have been concerned with seeding. I read the threads, but rarely comment on them. I more concerned with how the team plays down the stretch and fixing their weaknesses. I just don't think they have fixed them.
