Here we go. Jekyll or Hyde?

[IWB]

Great to see that Mark - I wonder, is his mission done or was he allowed to go to the game? I know he was out in DC area, but limited e-mail and no phone calls.

[Markedman]

Great start

[Mucrisco]

Great ball movement. I little too much dribbling at times for my taste but much better movement.

[Markedman]

Both teams shooting it great.....bad Elliott turnover leads to a Hauser foul......

[Mucrisco]

If we keep making an effort to make Hauser option #1, we’ll be successful. We have much better ball movement that way.

[Nukem2]

Put Sam back in.

[MUMac]

When the wheels fall off, they fall off.

[MUMac]

Outscored 20-3 after being up 10. Sam was on fire, sat him far too long. He comes back and doesn't see the ball.

[Nukem2]

Yup.

[IrwinFletcher]

Brutal decisions. Can’t hold onto the ball. Can’t penetrate. Really a struggle.

[MUMac]

Here we go. Jekyll or Hyde?

Both ... in the same half.

[MUAlphaBangura]

Fundamentals are so bad it's almost laughable. We are struggling to just catch the ball cleanly.

[bleedbluegold03]

For an elite offensive team can someone explain how our offense has COMPLETELY shut off for 5-6 minutes stretches the last few weeks?

[Nukem2]

Sacar has had a tough game so far.

[MUAlphaBangura]

They just can't not foul. This is amazing to watch.

[Nukem2]

They just can't not foul. This is amazing to watch.Speechless here.

[IrwinFletcher]

For an elite offensive team can someone explain how our offense has COMPLETELY shut off for 5-6 minutes stretches the last few weeks?

They can’t drive to the whole and they rarely, if ever, enter the ball into the post to Heldt or John. Rowsey and Markus are to small and don’t have good enough handle to penetrate and Elliott and Cain don’t have that skill set just yet. Opposing teams just switch on perimeter screens making it tough to get open looks.

[IWB]

As Crisco said, need to get the ball to Sam. And when they do, Sam can't pass up a three to give Cain a shot at a three.

They need to get the ball to Sam more and when they do, Sam needs to shoot.

[Nukem2]

Yep, Sam needs to take the bull by the horns. Get greedy, Sam.

[MUAlphaBangura]

What is it with us and rebounding in the 2nd half?

[Nukem2]

Lots of empty seats tonight.

[Nukem2]

Harry can’t do any worse than Matt and Theo tonight.

[Nukem2]

Geez, gotta set some plays for Sam.

[CaribouJim]

Good gosh - this is awful - can't believe MU is down only 6.

[pbiflyer]

This game has been played at a high level???? I think the announcers are high.

[CaribouJim]

Yes!!!!

[Nukem2]

Harry!

[CaribouJim]

Thought Sam's was a 3 - crap.

[pbiflyer]

That defense at the end was beyond pathetic. Would have been same if we just sat down.

[CaribouJim]

That defense at the end was beyond pathetic. Would have been same if we just sat down.

Agree - way too easy. Sam had a chance to collapse on him.

[CaribouJim]

"We are Marquette" chants in the arena!! Insane game.

[Markedman]

Hell of a win......could have folded a bunch of times......Sam and Rowsey were huge.

Happy for Harry to make a contribution to a win!

[Nukem2]

Happy for Harry to make a contribution to a win!Without his contribution, this might have been a loss.

[CaribouJim]

This win makes the Creighton game mean something. Win their next 3 games and they should be in.

[Mucrisco]

Great win!

[Nukem2]

Harry’s 3s were huuugge!

[mufan2003]

Nice win MU! Rowsey, hell of a player, he has his flaws but is exciting to watch. I think Sam Hauser, this season, is our MVP. He does a little bit of everything. Good coaching tonight, offensive/defensive substitutions were timely. Glad that Harry contributed, may have never happened if Heldt and John were not in foul trouble. End of regulation defense was atrocious, but I'll take the win.

[Markedman]

I believe MU us now 6-2 in OT games under Wojo.

Hoyas have lost a lot of close ones this season. They have lots of talent.

[mufan2003]

"We are Marquette" chants in the arena!! Insane game.

That was awesome. Good for the team to hear that after a very disappointing loss on Saturday.

[Halo]

Gutty win. Still alive. Need to win the last ever MU game at the BC! Win 2 more and I think they are in.

[CaribouJim]

Buzz takes down Duke.

[warriorfan4life]

Gutty win. Still alive. Need to win the last ever MU game at the BC! Win 2 more and I think they are in.

That is my rough guess as well. Would love to somehow see Providence in a 3-6 game.

[MU/Panther]

Buzz takes down Duke.

And.

[IrwinFletcher]

Great win after an awful loss. Team showed some heart. Froling left for dead everywhere and hits 2-threes and the one he missed was right there.

Hope they can carry it over to saturday.

Harry’s 3s were really the story of this game. Truth be told.

[Djgoldnboy]

Almost had visions of Mike Kinsella draining some early 3's against Pitt on Gameday Saturday come to mind........

[Nukem2]

Yup....

[IWB]

And.

And... that will put Villanova back to a #1 seed.

[IWB]

Got to give Buzz' squad some credit...

Beat #10 North Carolina
Beat #2 Virginia on road
Beat #15 Clemson
Beat #3 Duke

[IWB]

Still can't get over the stat line for the night on free throws...

Free Throws
Georgetown: 24-29
Marquette: 8-11

[IWB]

1001

Speaking of Buzz, did you see him telling his crowd to behave last night during the middle of the game?

Same thing happened with Depaul....hard to beat teams when you are giving them a chance at 30 free points.

[MU/Panther]

And... that will put Villanova back to a #1 seed. I don't think Villanova was off the 1 line after the loss on Saturday.

I saw it live, power of having multiple TV's in my man cave! I love it. I wish Wojo would do that, when F bombs are coming from our students.

[IWB]

I don't think Villanova was off the 1 line after the loss on Saturday.

I think it was during our broadcast yesterday watching the MU game the constant scroll, or maybe it was the ESPN scroll, can't remember, but it listed the four #1 seeds as Virginia, Duke, Michigan State and Xavier.

1 seed / 2 seed, doesn't matter. Duke will somehow end up playing in the state of North Carolina.

[IWB]

Goo - I just want the Big East to get two #1 seeds. But you are right, the f'd up pod system will ensure it. Hell, two years ago Nova should have been playing in the East Region with the Sweet 16 in Philly but no, were shipped out West.

Let's look at this year...

First/Second Rounds

March 15 & 17
Pittsburgh will get Virginia
Wichita will get Kansas
Dallas
Boise

March 16 & 18
Charlotte will get Duke
Detroit will get Michigan State
Nashville
San Diego

Unless a pod needs them, Villanova & Xavier will be shopped out to Boise or San Diego.

It was Howie's Bracket of FS1.

[MUMac]

I could see X in Nashville (actually, a tad closer than Detroit) and both Virginia and Duke in Charlotte. Also could see X in Detroit with MSU and Purdue in Nashville.

[MU/Panther]

CBS has Xavier in Detroit and Nova in Pitt as 1 seeds

ESPN has Xavier & Nova in Pitt as 1 seeds.

[IWB]

ESPN has Xavier & Nova in Pitt as 1 seeds.

Let me guess - one of those #1 seeds in PITTSBURGH, PA will be from the WEST Region. Another reason why I hate the pod system. No single region should have two #1 seeds.

Well, crap, I have tickets to the Charlotte pod. Forgot about Duke fans.

[IWB]

Duke fans are some of the worst. Arrogant, yet know nothing about basketball. Will surround the court three deep in pre game warmups just to take pictures. The only thing you can do is what me and another poster here did. Find the biggest crowd of them, walk into the middle of the pack and drop ass.

If you have had barbecue and beans for the prior two days, these things could happen--unintentionally, of course.
