Marquette - St. John's Game Thread

Exactly - with the athletes MU has, they should be playing more up tempo.

Derrick injury is a cramp - could see the muscle sticking out.

Unreal how much contact St. John's is allowed to get away with on made basket in-bounds plays.

Although St. Johns has better athletes, so this might not have been the game to pick to start playing uptempo.

The margin of error is non-existent with this team.

Up 1, Jamil with a rebound, gives it up and next thing you know, SJU has gone on a 5-0 run to go up 4.

Hope that wasn't the play that turned the tide.

Sampson again with the proof. Out of bounds on St. John's, he holds the ball until the entire defense gets set and then gives it up. No warning from refs, no call....

MU leading in all of the hustle categories, St. John's just lights out shooting 54.5% for the game, MU shooting 47.8%

A tip of the hat to Derrick Wilson. Gutting it out with bad leg cramps.

St. John's pressure D is a lot to deal with. While Davante has been getting pounded on down low all day, Jake Thomas just got away with one on SJU's last possession.

While this team will never quit, Sampson's hoop may have just sealed the deal for MU.

SJU not missing anything open. Feel like MU has done a great job on Harrison, but Jordan and Sampson making up for it.

Agree 77 , they just don't miss.

St. John's is now 51.8% from field for game, 54.5% from 3pt.

MU will now be the 6th seed for Big East tourney.

And there go the fans, streaming to the exits on senior day. I hate that BS.

And they can kiss my gigantic white ass as we are headed to OT!

Another overtime:cool:

And that's why you stay!

Say what you will...this team while limited does not give up.

Buzz has a right to be riding these refs, these guys have no control over this game.

Tim Claugherty absolutely blows.

Something has to be done by next season about the ref crews in the Big East.

Refs missed Sanchez hook.

Jordan just caught his own airball, then gets fouled on the putback?

Here we go MU - 8.3 left.... what you gonna do?

How was that not a travel?

St. John's gets away with a travel with 1.5 to go? That was crap, and that was Claugherty.

More people heading to the exits at the end of 1st OT - are you people high?

Refs have screwed us 3 times in last minute:

(1) Sanchez with the hook

(2) Jordan shoots, air ball, and catches it....no travel

(3) Sampson travels and would have allowed MU a potential final shot

Fans need to respect the effort with this Marquette team.

MU's only offense just fouled out.

19.5 left, MU down one and Mayo is out - what would you do?

It's senior time.

Someone needs to come through - Jake? Davante? Jamil?

Pray for all the seniors.

Well that blew.

Incredible game. They fought their asses off and almost came out with it. Bounces them from a 3-4 seed to 6 seed. Hard to take for the seniors.

That was a...umm...surprising final play? Yeesht.

Great game. Didn't like the playcall at the end of double ot though. Why draw up a play that puts it in the hands of your worst shooter? They also took their sweet time. Should have got an early look for Jake, Jamil or Davante and had time for a putback.

Davante doesn't touch the ball in last possession. JWil dishes off do Derrick for the game winner.

UUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH

I feel like that was supposed to be Jamil's shot. If we wanted to drive why not put it in Burton's hand?

Wow. Sums up the year guys. Why he is shooting I have no idea. Can't believe it really.
