Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

[August_West]

Marquette was so happy to finally make it through the first weekend that they were done and checked out of the tournament

Shaka def had a premature cry after round of 32. You would think he was coaching Cincinnati or something

Mitchell and Joplin are 0 for 9 from 3.

Mitchell just walked and they didn't call it. Either he is high or is fixing the game. He is way too good a player to play like this.

That was Joplin who travelled.

Maybe when the big east chosen team doesn't get favorable officiating that they get in the big east, they are not so great.

Yeah that’s what it is

 

[superjohn]

Marquette keeps taking threes. They are 3 for 24 and had gotten it down to 8. W t f

They're all wide open shots. I would say you can't turn down wide open shots but I also know none of them are going to go in.

I agree, and the unchosen team (UConn) looks so much better when they no longer have Big East officiating. It's happened two years in a row. No doubt in my mind that San Diego State would have beaten Marquette.

 

[Jorgensen]

Marquette in business if they get points here

 

[nelsonmuntz]

How many times on the help defense is Mitchell going to foul a guy? He didn't get called on the Igodharo block, but he definitely fouled the NC State player on the baseline.

Mitchell runs right into a screen that had to have been called out, then goes down, leaving his guy wide open for a 3.

Mitchell was trying to draw the foul when he ran into that screen

Couldn't be the poor shooting. Must be the refs not handing them the game.

Mitchell is not an idiot, he was never getting that call, and flopping was stupid.

 

[The Yakk]

I want no one other than Jones and Kolek handling the ball in the last 4 minutes.

Everyone else focus on defense and stay out of the way, you all suck.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Crazy thing is NC State has been very unimpressive this game, Marquette just can’t hit a 3. They should be killing them right now.

 

[superjohn]

What the hell is Oso doing?

Dude is brutally bad.

Playing Mitchell the whole second half is Shaka's fault. Something is up with him and he should have been pulled off the court.

Mitchell just gave up another open look right in his face that went in and out.

 

[The Yakk]

Lol Iggy what are you doing? I said Jones or Kolek

 

[BugsyCT]

3 of 26 from 3 has destroyed them.

He played great D on that one, there's other dudes out there who have been far worse than him.

These 2 games could not have gone worse. Marquette is going to lose and so is Gonzaga

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

I'd love Uconn to play NC State next week and win by 40.

That’s not what’s happening, they are missing tons of wide open 3’s

 

[gsmooth]

Oso got fouled on that potential offensive rebounds. I saw that in real time. 3 for 26 from 3, ouch

 

[superjohn]

Nah, I want Purdue in the final. We already have a couple of garbage ACC teams going to the elite 8. I don't want an elite 8 of scrub teams.

Just beat Illinois first

 

[NC_Uconn_Fan]

That's game

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Mitchell is not a great 3 point shooter, but Joplin shoots 37% from deep. They are 0 for 10 from 3 tonight. I brought up that their play was weird 5 minutes into the 2nd half. What has anyone seen since to prove me wrong?

 

[kobe]

will be home in time for easter church league bum

 

[gsmooth]

And to think if it wasn't for a lucky ass bank shot 3 in the ACC tournament this NC State team would not have been here. Instead they ruining and ending Marquette's season, SMH

Drugged, hungover, or shaving points. I thought the same thing.

Marquette would've lost to anyone with the way they played tonight. It had nothing to do with NC State.

Wow, really went out on a ledge with that observation…
