Lack of set plays is alarming. We havent run a double screen to get Frazier an open look *checks notes* EVER?
Came for the hot takes.... Was not disappointed.
Whose mind would be blown to find out we were + 4 in Belo’s 26 minutes.
Mine was.
Underwood might have been wise to get him out at some point over the last 7:43, but we didn’t look great when he wasn’t on the floor
R-e-l-a-x.
If anyone on the board thought we were going to be undefeated this year, I appreciate your optimism, but one L is one L.

New tactic is $100,000 fines from their NIL account. Total of said fines to be split among all Loyalty posters in this thread.
I think Curbelos will got in his way tonight...thinking he will correct it soon!

Would Kofi have made one point worth of difference? Probably.
But we made up for his absence really well, totally dominant on the glass and decent around the rim. It's those couple of BBV post ups becoming Kofi post ups that probably swing things.
But Marquette is terrible.
We're a double digit loss team, pretty much no chance of avoiding it.
We can't win a game against a good team with options of an out-of-control tilting Belo or a non-PG running the show. Easy pickings.
No one else besides Trent eanted the ball in thete hands. Still think Hutch can help, especially against bigger guards
Really didn't see many plays being utilized.
I saw this complaint a few times on the board…. Just to set the record straight. A kicked ball violation only applies when it is INTENTIONAL.
It should have been an alley oop. That’s exactly what was open. I can tell you what wasn’t open. Any shot Curbelo was taking.
First real road game since March 2020. Belo’s first real road game ever. Yeah he stunk but my gosh. You don’t win, or lose, anything in November.
Quoted for truth.
As bad as they played they were in a position to win the game. Up one with 15-20 seconds left and you have an 80% FT shooter going to the line? Yeah I'll take that. Up one and you get a side out because of a kicked ball, shoot I'll take that too. You (general, not you specifically) can't say one team deserved to win and not the other because the game was completely altered by some incompetent refs.
I have decided to take solace in the fact that as poor as this team played tonight, which I guarantee will not happen this fashion again, Marquette was still only able to win by one. They must suck.

I mean, Maradona would have been proud of that one. Missed call.

Just stop. You're acting like the games without Ayo last year were outliers instead of this game.
The end of last year is proof enough what Curbelo is capable of.
It's like you are a Negative Nancymonster hiding in the closet waiting for moments like these.
He surely made to many turnovers and needs to care for the ball more. With that being said we had a 1 point lead and the ball with 30 seconds left in Trents hands. He got picked too.
This also was the first true road game with hostile fans for a lot of these guys. Although its frustrating they will learn from it.
To me. That’s not an easy call because Belo is the type of player who can make 5 huge mistakes in a row and then make 5 amazing plays to win it for you. Tonight he just got 10 mistakes in a row instead.
For the last ten minutes?? Possibly.
"Probably"?
C'mon man.
Curbelo: How many times can I screw up before I get taken out?
Underwood: Yes
Underwood: Yes
