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.
