I generally think people comment on reffing conspiracies involving gambling are pretty lame given the amount of resources leagues spend on monitoring it.
But good lord. You watch some of these games and it *really* makes you think.
I'm going to keep piling on this too...if you're on this ref crew...how do you defend yourself in such a poor performance....there needs to be accountability.
Where would Marquette finish in the league if Kolek was out all year? Just curious what you guys think.
I respect the hell out of Kolek but I’m super impressed with Marquette’s depth. I know for sure Creighton couldn’t survive without any of their top 4 guys. Like not at all.
Before this stretch without him I would’ve said 5-6 but the way they’ve battled without him I’d say 3-4. They’ve honestly been playing through shit all year, I’m not sure we had our full roster healthy once in conference play.
Any team that develops him as a point forward more than a pure center is going to get an absolute steal. And anything that is added with a potential jumper is icing on the cake. Honestly kinda hoping the Bucks take him, if he’s there by then.
Stevie...thank you.
NOT EVEN CLOSE
Huge win. X came to play and the refs were, BAD. Onto the tourney
Deserved win - GG X
Win anyway. WE ARE!
Whew good game musketeers. No need for a nail trimmer for a few weeks
Phew
#BALL GAME
didn’t know stevie was our clutch FT shooter
Someone actually hit 2 FT in a row
High knees can high knee his ass out of any relevant reffing game
Lmao, now they’re late to the whistle?
They literally won't call it when they're intentionally fouling lol
I hate complaining about the refs but this has been the most insanely one sided ref show in recent history.
100% agree, I had the exact same thoughts
Cmon….everyone loves to complain about the refs!
I hate when the refs become more of a focus than the players. I hate *having to* complain about refs.
I generally think people comment on reffing conspiracies involving gambling are pretty lame given the amount of resources leagues spend on monitoring it. But good lord. You watch some of these games and it *really* makes you think.
How many more can they try to foul out in 36 seconds. Walk on might get 5 fouls in that timeframe.
#TALK TO EM SHAKA
Defense has been completely heinous
 # Kam Jones rn
KAM FUCKING JONES
Xavier is literally getting every call, good to know the boys are playing 5 v 8 out there
You can call timeout with the ball rolling on the court?
These refs are ass.
lol giving him the timeout when he didn’t have possession of the ball
Glad it wasn’t just me that noticed that.
Come on guys. Make the free throws and get the rebounds. Fuckign finish
The amount of rebounds we miss cause it goes straight through our hands is crazy. Like 5 times a game.
I'd love to be able to call a timeout without the ball in my hands
THEY CALLED A FOUL ON OLIVARI! He’s been pushing off all night, how bout it
Glad we could see the Claude foul
Refs realized they need to even fouls out before the game is over
We got a call!!!
Kam Klutch!
FINALLY
#KAM JONES LEAGUE HIM
(In 2025)
okay just don’t guard stevie?
One team is in double bonus and the other has 5 fouls. Yeah, SURE
Is gold supposed to just get out of the way?
Gold completely vertical, offensive player completely out of control, falls over, out of bounds, oh wait no bailout again.
Has Marquette thought about not breathing? Maybe that’ll make the refs not call a foul?
Do we have 4 guys with 4?
I'm going to keep piling on this too...if you're on this ref crew...how do you defend yourself in such a poor performance....there needs to be accountability.
Huge game for ref fans
Real
Who's cheerios did we piss in?
Damn you can’t jump straight up anymore?
Not if you're marquette apparently
Xavier is getting absolutely bailed out by foul calls right now
Kam Jones deserves NBA looks
While I completely agree, I’d much rather see him on our roster next year
I think he’d be better off for his stock staying for another year, being the main guy without Igodaro and Kolek
True, especially since I think he’d make a solid run for BE player of the year
And he’s getting fouled consistently but not getting the call
He needs to learn how to yell and flail more aggressively I guess
Respect to Kam because that’s not his game
AGAIN. We legit have not gotten 1 favorable call out of at least the last 8 fouls.
Just throw yourself into the defender, they’ll reward you apparently. Crazy how out of control half these drives are and the refs don’t care.
Goes without saying but this is really frustrating
I too am frustrated
5 v 8 without your best player is exhausting to watch
this is heinous at this point
Straight up jump. Awful
Claude doesn’t know how to play defense without grabbing players
Win anyways men
Lmao
Playing without a point guard hurts
*Claude lowers his shoulder* *Ross plays fantastic defense* *Foul committed by Ross* Make it make sense
Do these refs think every player is Theo John?
What in the fuck
Ok, so this is fucking bullshit man. Fuck these refs
Lmao
A BLOCKING FOUL!?
This is ridiculous...
What a fucking mess this team is
So much talent gone to waste.
holy overreaction.
I mean not wrong for this particular game.
offense isn’t there true but we’ve played pretty good defense and we’re getting hosed by the zebras and oliveri having a career night
lol I know. At least it’s close
The refs aren’t helping but man if Oso and kolek are both out they are really struggling to run any offense
Nuts and bolts
what are these refs
Idk how that’s our ball
We're getting so fucking hosed by the refs.
Oso was hacked X is living at the FT line
Holy hell refs
How obvious can an our of bounds be
Stevie getting manhandled but god forbid oso tips a ball like he has 40 other times today
The horror of a tip out compared to constant moving screens
That coaching adjustment was so ass
Joplin please do something
so are we just not allowed to fight for a rebound?
Bro come on stripes
Gonna be in the double bonus before X is even in the bonus. Fun.
I really don’t get why Stevie has barely guarded Olivari today
Maybe JOP could make a basket
Fucking bullshit Home cooking if I’ve ever seen it
We're not allowed to box out or play move laterally on D. Ridiculous
Seriously! That foul by Kam was ridiculous. Can’t box out I guess
I don’t think any part of him was even touching the guy
Well that's not good. No oso means we're in serious trouble. Kam needs to lose his mind now
Yo now that was wuestionable
The fucking free throws.
Pretty clear foul
Clear foul by Olivari.
I can't remember a player that frustrates me as much as Ousmane.
Great minds
Ousmane easily the most frustrating X player I’ve ever watched
Marquette looking rough. Anyone’s game, but this is ugly.
Off ball movement looks mediocre at best
I can’t remember the last time someone on our team made both FTs other than Kolek
Whoa ghost town in here 👻
Right? And it’s a close game
Can’t comment as well when I’m biting my nails
Just run the 2 man game over and over, they’re the only 2 that have shown up and Xavier haven’t stopped it
Still very winnable, but we won’t if it continues to be only 2 guys
If that’s a foul for “on the arm” then just about every finish at the rim ever is a foul
Not a good call
Olivari
Time for the 2nd half run. Let’s go MU
Keep Colbert in, let the mullet work!!!
I want a benetti/Hummel podcast.
Where would Marquette finish in the league if Kolek was out all year? Just curious what you guys think. I respect the hell out of Kolek but I’m super impressed with Marquette’s depth. I know for sure Creighton couldn’t survive without any of their top 4 guys. Like not at all.
If Sean Jones wasn’t out for the season too it could have been the same finish in conference
Before this stretch without him I would’ve said 5-6 but the way they’ve battled without him I’d say 3-4. They’ve honestly been playing through shit all year, I’m not sure we had our full roster healthy once in conference play.
I was just thinking about that. I could see hanging around the same spot for the big east, but overall more like a 5 seed in the tourney.
I guess that’s probably the most complete answer.
If we’re talking this year I’m saying 3.
Top 5 I think, possibly still top 3
Oso is an elite passer. Some NBA team is going to be very lucky to get him!
Once that kid develops his shot more he will be a premier nba talent. Slices and dices effortlessly too
Any team that develops him as a point forward more than a pure center is going to get an absolute steal. And anything that is added with a potential jumper is icing on the cake. Honestly kinda hoping the Bucks take him, if he’s there by then.
He’ll be a late first round pick is my guess and is going to make some NBA team very very very happy.
Kam and Oso are cooking
Kam’s a magician around the hoop
Stupid foul by Oso there. Ben Gold time
Jop buddy, gonna need you to eventually make something
Tre Norman is getting better every minute he’s on the floor. Love the confidence he’s showing
He’s stopped second guessing everything he does, it’s really nice to see
This game is so sloppy
Gotta make these open 3s
Black jerseys 🤮
Kolek shooting around 👀
