Marquette

Marquette spits the bitt once again. At least this they weren’t BE champs
 
They settled for way too many three-point shots. I wish I could say it was shocking that smart didn’t change up the game plan.

Ummmm no, I always do terrible on my brackets, so I tried to put a lot of thought into it. I also bet on the games, so I’m paying attention to everything. The rest of my bracket is not to good, but I did pick them for that reason only because I know NOTHING about them.
 
Kolek is good? He goes to dominant hand every time I don’t know anybody on boneyard that couldn’t beat him 1 on 1 if you were under 25 and over 5ft 9 . My frustration is if we don’t get out of Big East before it implodes we are screwed. Us and Villanova need to leave. The end is the beginning we will reunite with Cuse , Pitt acc who gets left out of Big Ten and SEC. I’m over babying the Midwest this is big east not Creighton, Marquette, DePaul, Xavier, Butler telling everybody you know UConn? They can start there own conference with sister ST Francis from Loyola Chicago but he who hesitates is lost

Brutal take

NCAA underperformance is why Shaka was fired at Texas, right? he had the one magical run t VCU and has been a dud in the tourney ever since

This was his first Sweet Sixteen since 2011 which, coincidentally, was his only other Sweet Sixteen on the way to that year's FF.

He gets a lot of credit for being a great coach and his players seem (to this point) to like him but maybe there's something else going on and he's not the coach people believe him to be.

Near the end of the first half they missed a dunk and Joplin missed all three FTs on a fouled 3pt shot. It felt over after that. It was full discombobulation pretty much the entire game, and Shaka didn't do anything about it.

Could he be looking at open jobs and the team knows about it?
This sure didn't look like the Marquette we're accustomed to seeing and the way MU and CU played tonight didn't do anything to bolster the NBE's reputation. It's all on the Huskies.........

What could he really do though? I guess he could've tried to speed up NC State more but they play slowly and don't turn it over. Tell his guys to stop taking wide open shots and stop throwing the ball into the crowd for no reason? They're not a bang it down low team and Oso stinks now.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we learn some Marquette players were on the take that game. It was that confounding a performance by some of their players and we're going to have scandals with the proliferation and constant promotion of sports gambling everywhere.

Along the lines of Jontay Porter for example?

He got hurt against Providence in the Big East Tourney. He hasn’t missed a game since, but he clearly hasn’t been himself either.

You sure? He scored a season low 4 points in 42 minutes the day before against Villanova
 
Nerves? They didn’t look right, but even so they managed to get enough good looks that if they hit an average amount of their open threes then they probably run away with it. If they shot just 25% then they win. Bizarre

I love Stevie Mitchell as a defender but he HAS to get better offensively this summer. He looked terrified most of the time he had the ball

I like Oso but admittedly his game is very predictable. He does the same thing every single possession

The other 3 starters not mentioned shot 4-24 from deep. Not enough to win

Sucks to see. Sweet 16 is something to be proud of, but bounced against an 11 seed is not
 
Oso had hands of stone last night, couldn't catch anything. I was embarassed for Marquette. They're a much better team than they showed.

Just stop. Marquette players weren’t on the take. That is a disgusting take. That is insulting to both teams. They got beat by a team that played very well, played physical defense which Marquette hates. Late in the game, did you watch how many times they cut off Kolek trying to drive down the lane? How many times they hit key shots with the shot clock about to expire? How often they double teamed a man, but scrambled to get back and keep the open guy from taking an uncontested shot? NC State played as hard as I’ve seen a team not wearing National Flag Blue and White play in this tournament. On top of that, Marquette played dumb defense. Double teaming bigs at the 3-point line, leaving Diara free so they can double team the guards. Just awful.
 
Shaka did himself or the team no favors with his coaching last night.

Marquette is streaky at shooting 3's and doesn't have a single must guard shooter. NC St started off daring Marquette to make shots and when those shots weren't falling, Smart had no Plan B.

Complete dud of a coaching performance by Smart.

The moment was bigger than Shaka.
