Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

[Revrat]

Marquette could be making a big run but they are brain dead on offense

 

[WhereistheDove?]

The amount of possessions MU has given away this half. My god. Moment looks way too big for them.

 

[Dibbie]

Could they play any worse?

NC State is bad but Marquette is worse. If there wasn't a BE team involved I would have turned this crap off a long time ago.

The lackadaisical, half-a$%ed passing play after play by Marquette is as mystifying as it is maddening. What the hell is the matter with this team? Seriously throwing passes like they are out screwing around on a Saturday afternoon on the playground, not playing in a Sweet 16 game.

This team is a straight imposter of the Marquette team I have seen play.

At this point I feel bad for their fans. They didn't show up against Michigan St. last year, and they haven't showed up yet for this game, with 13 minutes remaining.

They can't even run a fast break... PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!

NC State is doing everything to keep Marquette in this game and Marquette would rather be home on the sofa.

NC State is not actually playing that well, and Joplin and Mitchell are making some ridiculous mistakes, especially on defense. Cam Jones just threw it out of bounds because Joplin was running rim to rim with Gold when Joplin was supposed to go to the 3 point line.

Marquette should have cut this lead in half the last 2 minutes, and they have actually lost ground because of those two. These two are playing so badly that it looks funky enough that you have to wonder if something is up.

Looks like an NC State vs. Houston E8 game.

Revenge for Houston 40 yrs later.

31-22 rebounds few second chances

This looks like in Blue Chips when the coaches review the tape and realize Tony is on the take and intentionally throwing the game.

 

[storrsroars]

Now they can't hit FTs either

Mitchell just got beat on that pull up 3, didn't even move.

Shaka has to put these two on the bench and not play them again.

Marquette players possibly out partying in Deep Ellum late last night. Look hungover. Can't even catch or dribble the ball, never mind make a shot.

I would almost think we had another point shaving scandal on our hands, except it's everyone except Kolek.

Maybe something slipped into their drinking water?

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

The marquette/NC State ball almost seems like its slippery. Lots of weird bounces and lost dribbles.

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

38 points 3/4 way through the game is pathetic

 

[Henry]

This is embarrassing. Were they taking NC St too lightly just because they're an 11 seed, and then when MU saw that State could play they couldn't pull it together. Lousy shooting, way too many TOs

I don’t think so.

Too much time left to say that but Marq. better pull their heads out right now.

It is Mitchell and Joplin in the middle of a lot of the weirdest sequences. Those two players are a lot better than they are playing tonight, and it feels like they aren't always trying. They make just enough plays, until Marquette is about to cut it under 10, and then they screw up.

Raff just called out Joplin for denying the cut. Their mistakes involve a lot of off the ball stuff too.

Supposedly the uncrowned BigEast DPOY too

 

[UCONNFAN179]

Alabama upset UNC
Illinois upset Iowa State
Clemson upset Arizona
NC State upsetting Marquette
Gonzaga right there with Purdue

Clearly UConn didn’t get the memo

 

[SoFla Steve]

Marquette is hard to watch!

And Kam Jones shooting terribly for a guy who can really shoot the 3

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Well this Purdue-Gonzaga game is getting out of hand. Zags just leaving 3 point shooters WIDE OPEN.
