Creighton’s addition via the portal of former Iowa center Owen Freeman is a huge get for McDermott and company. #mubb #BigEastHoops

Thank you to the Guardians for a great 4 years. #mubb

Gonna need more from the Guardians to pull this one out. Mitchell great defensively but only 1 pt. Kam 2-7 from the field. Joplin with an efficient 9 pts. #mubb

JFC I go to Mexico for spring break, pay the bartender to put the game on and the random guy next to me tells me he hates Marquette. Initially says he went to Madison and then admits it was Whitewater. I can’t escape it I said to him I hate Bucky. We should get along well 😜 #mubb

NC State fans watching Will Wade and McNeese State

Coach McDermott is one of the best in the business. Go Creighton. Go Big East

Pat Kelsey with the worst time to get a technical. He is going to be criticized relentlessly given he just killed his teams momentum as they were starting to come back

Ashworth has been sensational today. Hoping the Jays can keep this going for the BEAST #mubb #cubb

@bannersparkway.bsky.social great win. Fremantle and Conway are two of my favorite BIGEAST players: congrats on the win. You guys deserved it. Freemantle is a an MU killer. Love that dude. Good luck moving forward #mubb #Bigeasthoops

This Xavier team is legit. I may be biased but I assumed they would win. Freemantle is a dawg. Ryan Conwell is a bucket. Very experienced team with multiple seniors and juniors. I thought they deserved a bid and will actually make the sweet16. #mubb #bigeasthoops

Hell yeah Xavier. Great run. Keep it going for the rest of the BEAST #mubb #bigeasthoops #freemantle

I know we all feel bad for UCONN that Neal dunked at the buzzer to rub it in. McDermott owns the Huskies. Poor Danny Hurley and players 😢 #mubb

6 for 6 from the line first half. Just saying #mubb

Very clear MU is still salty about the Johnnies buzzer beater. They came out hot and playing with an edge. Now they just have to keep that edge. #mubb

Kam on pace for 80 pts LOL #mubb

Oh my Lord just watched the sequence where Joplin hit a contested three with 25 seconds left and then swatted a Xavier shot on the other end. Such a huge sequence. Joplin playing so well of late. Able to overcome foul trouble and contribute an efficient 14 pts and 6 boards. #mubb #jopwagon

You need your seniors to play well in big games and the guardians certainly delivered. But don’t overlook a huge contribution by Royce Parham. 3-5 from the field in 18 min for 10 pts and two huge second half threes when we were making a comeback. Lights were not too bright for the kid #mubb

Finally had a chance to watch the MU win over Xavier. What an incredible win. Still can’t believe they were able to pull it out despite Ryan Conwell’s spectacular showing scoring 38 pts including 7-11 from three. #mubb

Marquette has to play a Xavier team that ended the season by winning 7 straight and needs wins to make the tourney. If they somehow beat X they play St. John’s in what will be like a home game for them. Terrible draw and they only have themselves to blame #mubb

JFC

Jop only has 5 shots tonight and has made 4 of them. We need to get him some looks to take the pressure off Kam who has 24 pts on 22 shots with 12 minutes to go. #mubb

When’s the last time an MU player did a windmill dunk in front of the crowd? John Polonowski at the 1999 madness dunk contest? We’ve come a long way folks #mubb

This team is struggling but all that matters is you get hot at the right time. The guardians deserve o go out with a bang. #mubb

A lot of juice at the forum for a 11 AM game. #mubb

McNeely is an elite scorer but we need to keep exploiting him defensively. Chase can blow by him every time #mubb

Starters once again with a really good first half.Joplin with 14 pts and 4 boards. #mubb

Joplin came to play! #mubb

Stevie looks healthier tonight than the last two games. As always playing really hard and has 5 pts, 3 boards, 4 assists and 0 TOs in first half. #mubb

Holy crap Dwayne Wade vs Travis Diener in a timeout shooting game. My two favorite players all time at MU and great ambassadors of the program. #mubb

Playing time should be earned. Ben Gold contributed nothing and needs to sit. Zaide and Royce earned the right to play a lot this second half. #mubb

22-8 Nova. They are 6/7 from three. 🤮 Shaka is going to need to adjust the defensive strategy. Meanwhile MU is 0-6 from three and they have had equally good looks as Nova. The difference… Nova shoots well… MU not so much #mubb

Those are fantastic looks for Joplin. He’s in a horrible shooting slump at a horrible time #mubb

Something tells me Ed Cooley isn’t going to lay off the gas vs his old team. The Hoyas are embarrassing Providence. Say what you will… the man can coach and I do not look forward to MU facing him again #mubb

Ben Gold 10 pts and 6 boards in 22 min. Zaide Lowery continues to be solid off the bench scoring 7 pts and joining gold for team lead in boards with 6 in only 19 min. MU outrebounded the Hall 40-24. #mubb

Stevie Mitchell has been battling Achilles tendinitis all year but last night suffered what appeared to be a hand injury. Only played 19 min. Would love to hear an update on his health #mubb

Opinion | I say with 100% certainty that the Chris Farley you knew on SNL, or in the movies, or on stage, was the same one we knew at Marquette University. www.bostonherald.com/2025/02/16/s...
