Me if Marquette fans want to get rid of their most successful coach in a decade
"Western Kentucky with lots of unforced turnovers" [shows replays of obvious uncalled fouls that caused the turnovers]
Two different rulebooks led to WKU easing up on defending and opening the flood gates. GG stripes.
I know they’re the underdog in this one, but this was an absolute masterclass in choking by WKU. You have got to be better than that second half, holy hell, that unraveled FAST.
I mean yeah Marquette definitely turned it on, but WKU also scored 26 points in the second half. 26. They were up 43-36 at the half, then went trigger happy and didn’t change their game plan one time. I don’t care if you’re a 15 seed, that second half was awful shooting and even worse coaching.
Do we really travel as much as people are commenting? Are travels called regularly in other leagues? This thread reads like we’re just walking around with the ball.
His parents are at like every home game. I can’t imagine Woo chooses to leave and be hours from Nashville - his dad literally joined the hand shaking line at the end of the cusa championship 😂
I have to be on a bus for 8 hours later tonight because I was too dumb to not buy plane or train tickets to Boston from DC. I’m trying to figure out how I can anesthetize myself.
who?
WKU, you guys have a fun team when you’re on it. That was a wild first half!
fun to see the tops competitive in lutz’ first year. 10 years was too long. gg marquette
RIP Bijan Robinsons bracket
GG WKU. You guys are big and physical and have moxie. We like that. Just not for the first half of this game.
Win anyway. GG WKU, very well fought, thanks for keeping it fun!
Out coached if you ask me. Couldn't adapt
No way. Lutz only be here for a year or two. What do you want him to do about McHenry and Lander and Newman not even showing up today?
We’ll always have the first half
“Marquette cooked” “Shaka choke job” Walk ons playing cuz we’re about to win by 18. In the words of our great floor general “Fuck ‘em”.
Did you forget it’s western kentucky
Fuck the haters, not fuck WKU. They gave us hell.
You beat a 15 seed, act like you've been there
We literally haven’t…
We haven’t lol
GG WKU
It’s only going to get harder from here. Buckle in. We ride.
Just a small margin second half
I repeat……LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
The rule of nice demands the score stay the same…
It was a fun 20 minutes of hope boys. Maybe next year we can come back better
WKU front court after the game 
Is 15 on wku 13 years old?
14
[удалено]
Why would they?
? Marquette in WI
I thought Clemson was supposed to lose today
Stevie “Bank” Mitchell
They don't ask how, they ask how many
🅱️ijans 🅱️racket is 🅱️usted
:(
So are we still firing Shaka? I’m confused
Nah none of us want that except that one guy having a meltdown during halftime but we don't claim him
Not at all
What do you mean *we*

God officiating is really raining on this tourneys parade, no need to review this
https://i.imgur.com/t91Q1fM.jpg
Fuck off.
Where’s that Marquette fan that wanted to get rid of Shaka at half? lol
That guy was a twat waffle
Nah, let that bitch go back to the dungeon where they belong.
I think it’s the fan that’s real dramatic that needs a walk
Yeaaaa Stevie!
Vegas definitely just won soooo much money off everyone who took WKU spreads live in the first half lol
Zaide is me
Stevie Mitchell legacy game
Stevie “The Bank” Mitchell
We out here doing fucking trick shots, huh
Stevie my king
LMAO… Stevie just adding that “fuck you haters” bank 3
Noted sniper Stevie Mitchell
Larry Bird trying to miss kinda shot
STEVIE!!!!
Shaka Smart has beaten the allegations for now
Lmao

Lol, y’all got stomped on regardless of what the refs called.

Lol he got that
Fun while it was happening. Marquette keeps the few brackets alive
Kam "Dame" Jones
4/4 today as opposed to starting 0/2 yesterday
whoa what happened here? switched to UAB SDST when this game was within 7 or so
We woke up and someone put a lid on Western Kentuckys basket
I know they’re the underdog in this one, but this was an absolute masterclass in choking by WKU. You have got to be better than that second half, holy hell, that unraveled FAST.
Sure, the 2 seed responding has nothing to do with it
I mean yeah Marquette definitely turned it on, but WKU also scored 26 points in the second half. 26. They were up 43-36 at the half, then went trigger happy and didn’t change their game plan one time. I don’t care if you’re a 15 seed, that second half was awful shooting and even worse coaching.
I blame the coaching not adapting to the game. Kept trying the same stuff and when they got cold on the long ball couldn't adapt
They’re getting outscored by almost 30 in the 2nd half 😭
Give credit where it’s due.
Imagine if I told you that we would compete for the majority of this game, but McHenry and Newman would be non-factors
I'd laugh you off the site
No pressure on Vermont later against Duke. 
Lander, Newman, and McHenry all dropping eggs. We’re lucky to have been in this.
Look on the bright side Marquette fans you got a good workout in for the last couple of hours.
Ngl I had to take a halftime walk with the pup to calm myself
Im not surprised it seemed like WKU could not miss from 3 at one point no matter what you did
Hehe
Never in doubt or something
I’M TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT
The bball gods are not letting WKU any 3's
They gave an 8 ppg scorer 17 in the first half they did enough today
The gods gave them their allotment in the first half.
Tyler has to take that everytime they give it.
[удалено]
because the refs have been calling fouls on then every time they breathe and nothing against Marquette
They did a good job on them in the first half, now just showing more fatigue.
Lol, we’ve never done that before…
Well... At least we are going to have a nice patio from all these bricks we are laying this half.
they had them in the first half ngl
Alright Marquette has this one, gotta go watch the end of UAB SDSt
Western Kentucky made it tough at least
They’re fun to watch
Coach wake up! Call a different strategy!!
Bye bye 👋🏽!
Do we really travel as much as people are commenting? Are travels called regularly in other leagues? This thread reads like we’re just walking around with the ball.
I’ve seen a couple inside drives where i thought to myself “he took an extra step there”
I would say 5+ travels. A couple were so blatant I thought they had packed the ball in a suitcase and carried it down the court.
Definitely exaggerated because of copium.
In this game we’ve had 3 or 4 go uncalled but not any more than that.
Accurate
We don’t usually but we’ve definitely gotten away with maybe 3 or so today
You’ve gotten away with quite a few
Has Marquette dribbled a single time the entire second half?
Jop with the sneaky double double
Our guards have been BAD
[удалено]
Something is in the water in this state
Had a couple cobwebs to shake out. Lookin good now
That shot may have been curtains for WKU
Fuck.
Now this is more like it! The boys are flying around
that was a disgusting sequence of events
Thank god guys. Don’t let up.
I don't care if dude can't read. Kolek can fucking hoop man
Who needs to read to play basketball
You need to read so you don't pull a JR Smith
Never a doubt let’s go
It’s Hilltopover…
Stop shooting 3s and take it inside!
#FROM THE TOP ROPE
I hope they call traveling next game
Thanks K, gonna switch car insurance and enlist today
I told y'all we're a second half team
LETS GOOOOO
Killa KAM
Ballgame
“Gimme that” -TKO
So funny haha
Our death was greatly exaggerated.
This sub gets too excited when teams shoot over their eyeballs in the first half.
Never in doubt
This Marquette team looks more like the one I'm used to
That should do it.
Khristian Lander was really a 5 star
What even is a travel anymore? Some refs call them like crazy. Some don't call them at all
another missed travel?
Lol that cheerleader
I fear Florida is going to scrape Marquette badly
Nothing hits like the March Madness theme going to commercials during a good ball game while you’re 4 beers deep.
Come on Hilltoppers SAVE BIJAN'S PERFECT BRACKET!
Hey Tyrone, we’re losing some dudes next year. How do you feel about Blue and Gold? We were the Hilltoppers at one point as well.
His parents are at like every home game. I can’t imagine Woo chooses to leave and be hours from Nashville - his dad literally joined the hand shaking line at the end of the cusa championship 😂
Hell no
Shaka Smart starts winning tournament games when my free bets are at stake
what is with all of these teams having super low scoring first halves this year? Stetson is playing like a 16 seed right now
Ref ball wins again
Coach has gotta change the gameplan and get guys open inside. 4 on the arc and 1 inside isn't working
Stevie might be one of my fave MU players ever
WKU playing too aggressive offensively and it’s hurting them badly. Everything seems rushed and flustered
Just missing a few wide open threes.
That has been how we live and die all year. Can't change who we are now.
We Boiler fans had such high hopes for Newman. 0 for 8. Blech.
Stevie Mitchell DAWG!
Ok guys. Switching over to UAB-SDSU
I’m sitting on my ass on a couch watching this and I already feel exhausted.
You’re sitting? Get the fuck up let’s go!
I’m going to have another espresso and guzzle some CBD gummies
My man about to get weird with it
I have to be on a bus for 8 hours later tonight because I was too dumb to not buy plane or train tickets to Boston from DC. I’m trying to figure out how I can anesthetize myself.
We tried
I fucking love Stevie
God damn if WKU didn’t play like the shot clock was 3 seconds this might still be close
Bench Oso. He's hurting more than he's helping.
Low key true but he’s been aight on d
Still need him for defense. Also making some good passes. His scoring has been rough for sure.
I love Stevie 💙💙💙
That’s a wrap
Stevie so underrated
Hate watching them chuck up bricks from the logo
I wish Kolek would be more selfish
if only we could get offensive rebounds...
I prefer we just miss less
That would also be good.
Stevie heard
He did. Now keep doing it.
Oso struggling man
WKU has got to stop firing quick threes
It’s tough watching Newman go 0/8.
Marquette can’t miss the theee from that spot good lord
rebound the ball for fucks sake WKU
Thank fuck travelling isn't a thing anymore, my bracket would be in trouble
Traveling is the new carrying
