Marquette - Providence game thread

I believe the ball goes up and hits the rim, the count starts over

Up four with a free throw and Dunn fouled out, can MU put them away?

Lots of phantom calls in there.

only if it came from an extended picket fence

Henry with one of the dumbest fouls you will ever see. I get that Bentil has been knocking them down, but he's 25% on the year. Geez!

Never touched him on the three point attempt

Dumbest team in the country.

Why the heck are we shooting???

Wow.....inexperience just cost us this game

Buycks Jr, I mean Cheatham, is the scariest player down the stretch I've ever seen.

Wow!!!no f×××××× foul on Carter??? Wow

Not on the actual shot, but then he turned and backed in to him taking out when he hadn't had a chance to land from the attempt. That was a foul. I said the only argument that he could make was that it was after the shot, but as I said, Bentil hadn't fully landed yet.

I don't think any fans near that shot were complaining.

Wow, just wow.

With the foul situation we are going to end up with Anim and Heldt in there before it's over

After first overtime, 48 fouls and 58 free throw attempts.

Talk inexperience all you want, the end of ot was some of the dumbest bball I've seen in a while by our guys.

and that is saying a lot. Agree 100%.

These guys are exhausted.

Huge 3 JJJ!

Bentil feel untouched. Watched replay on tv.

with dunn out is there any reason we are not faceguarding bentil and denying all passess to him (ala dunham the other day)

And that "Should" do it.

Can Johnson be any more situationally unaware on defense

Jj going for that steal is yet another example of how low our bball iq is. It's truly amazing.

I have no words......lol

How can Dwight Buycks have so many kids playing on Marquette?

Yeah, you have to let him land. It's like when a guy is moving while trying to take a charge.

Watched it on replay, they never touch. ..even feet. He was fading on the shot and sat down on the landing

Gotcha.

Traci came up really big in the 2nd half and over times.

That was a crazy game. From start to finish.

MU kept battling. Kept trying. Kept the turnovers down.

Carter, Ellenson and Cheatham were very good at times. JJ as well. Luke was good, but again, too many fouls.

But the team is getting better.

By the way, I cannot remember a guy in the Big East improving more in one season than Ben Bentil.

Wow.

His hands were on the shooter after the shot. With him falling, you know they were going to call it. Not saying it was a foul, but they were going to call it.

Thank god we made both of those free throws at the end to go up 5. With the way the game was going, I could see us fouling as a desperation 3 went in for Providence. ;)

RPI at 97 now.....only 40 or 50 points to go!

The game was never in doubt.

He's something else, man. Looks like the perfect NBA stretch 4. Nice shot, athletic, strong. Real deal.

Well, maybe just a bit. :). A stressful but very enjoyable night at the BC...!

Those kids played their tails off. Had a moment of madness at the end of the first OT, but really showed a lot of toughness to shake that off.

Especially happy for Traci. Not playing at the end of the Butler and Xavier games was getting to him. Got his chance and was outstanding down the stretch. That three point play was massive.

plus he should have had the game winning FTs at end of 1st OT. Totally blown call where guy holds his forearm on the shot right in front of the ref...no call...
