Marquette - St. John's Game Thread

Buzz needs to play Burton in the 2nd half. If that means Mayo plays over Thomas, so be it.

Please don't take this wrong but if Thomas doesn't have time to think he is a much better shooter.

Are the students on break? I was talking about the noise and hope it ramps up in the second half.

Thought that the one way we could stay in this game/win is if STJ plays dumb. They had two lazy turnovers, once on inbounding the ball and at the end with the outlet pass. Turns into big points for MU.

Yes. Students are on break.

Probably why my kids, who are prospective students, have been innundated with offers from MU for tix to this game.

I think that's the case for many three point shooters. Catch and release is better than catch think and release. That buzzer beater was simply awesome.

Was interesting to see Todd running the point on the last play. I think those two early fouls really hurt. Hopefully he can stay out of foul trouble and be a difference maker in the second half.

Satchel Pierce is seeing a blueprint on what Buzz is hoping will can do for Marquette down the road.

Thanks - Sorry for bashing student attendance, didn't know they were on break.

Jake Thomas and Derrick Wilson combined for 6 rebounds in first half, in second half those two end up under the bucket on every St. John's possession fighting for anther.
