St. John's / Marquette Game Thread

[temery]

Shouldn't be a problem this time of day.

Go for it.

Prosper couple thunderous dunks early. St. John's wants to play fast, but Marquette is just better at that.

 

[CaptainRon]

Marquette looks flat

 

[auror]

14-0 St Johns run. Marquette missing shots. Kolby King with 8 points a career high in the first half of the biggest game of the year

It's early but the Johnnies have come to play today.

They are playing like a ranked team right now. Great basketball.

 

[Kenny11]

is that a red storm hitting marquette?

 

[Ripper32]

St john's could have been a bubble team with a decent coach.

 

[UCLJ0211]

Should have a significant home court advantage and playing with house money. Wouldn’t surprise me if they pull this one off.

 

[firstnline]

They are playing with confidence right now

 

[AzHusky]

St John's 14 to nothing run in the last 5 minutes

Marquette has a really good offense so St John's can't take their foot off the gas if they want to win this game

 

[jibsey]

Marquette playing very tight so far, careless

 

[auror]

Marquette just kinda jacking 3s lately.

 

[JakeTheDog]

Marquette ice cold right now. St Johns looking nice and relaxed. Where is Curbelo?

 

[prankster]

Bench points!

 

[temery]

St. John's bench has more points than Marquette.

Out with another concussion

Out with another concussion

He really needs to just get his degree and stop playing (a la Mamadou Diarra). It's not worth turning his brain to spaghetti. What is it, his 3rd or 4th concussion? Had 2 that I can remember at Illinois.

SJU with a better coach would definitely be tourney-bound. Plenty of talent and athleticism on this team, they just play like it's Rucker instead of D1 ball.

Concussion protocol

 

[YearoftheHusky]

This resembles the St John’s team that whooped us. They are breaking down the guards at will and getting to the hole or creating open looks for others. Very impressive first half.

 

[UCTitleTown]

I would not want to face St. John's. I hope they lose.

 

[UCTitleTown]

I take that back. An early Marquette exit could help solidify our NCAA Tournament seeding.

 

[Ripper32]

Marquette was panicking at the end. Hoisting up 3s. They looked young and drowning.

exactly. This SJU team is 18-14, but they should be 20 wins or above by now, especially with the cream puff soft OOC schedule they had this year.

 

[Ripper32]

Marquette showing very poor body language. SJU driving Marquette into dead zones on the floor. Kolek has nowhere to pass to. SJU frontcourt with no fouls. Beating up marquette on the boards. I'd be surprised if Marquette came back.

 

[yungdowork]

St. John's has a ton of dudes who can create their own shots. They don't really have great shooters, but when they get hot, they're hard to stop. That being said, Jones shouldn't really be taking 13 shots a half, so they have to be careful they don't start fizzling out in the second.

I have a hard time imagining Marquette is planning on taking 19 threes again next half, but we will see.

 

[Umami Zen]

St Johns has a bunch of guys that like to go to the hoop/layups.. Could create some second half foul trouble for Marq

 

[AzHusky]

that sure looked like a black hole. pass the thing out
