GoMarquette.com All-Access brings you the sights and sounds of the Golden Eagles that you can't find anywhere else, including game highlights, interviews, features and more.
Man, I wish Shaka was the coach when I was at Marquette. Of course, he would have been about 13 years old at that time so he probably wouldn’t have been as good of a coach then as he is now.
Too many NCAA tournaments exist for the Marquette Golden Eagles men's basketball. One of those years I want to see us win the National Title under Shaka Smart and bring it back to the Fiserv Forum really bad!!!!
If Rick Majerus had stayed at Marquette, I think the school would already have another national title banner. Smart is the best hire that Marquette has made since Majerus left eons ago and he definitely has a bit of Al McGuire's moxie in him.
Wolfpack fan here. Impressed by Shaka’s comments. Appreciated that he acknowledged that their opponent might have had something to do with the outcome - unlike the Oakland coach. Marquette’s in good hands
NC State Fan here, that first question was the most ignorant and insensitive question that could have been asked after losing a game. "What legacy are you leaving behind?" Good Lord. That reporter was obviously a diversity hire.
Based on the official shot quality metrics for both teams, the most likely outcome was Marquette winning by double digits. Credit to NC State no doubt, but the Golden Eagles dug most of their own grave in this one. NC State's defense was pretty good but it clearly wasn't THAT good.
As a MUSOD grad of 1961, I would like to have them go further, but as in life everyone has a bad day. I am extremely proud of the team and sincerely believe coach Smart is a breath of fresh air bringing Marquette bb back in the forefront.
I still think that Smart is the right coach for Marquette. He has already gotten the program back to the level where the team is expected to challenge for conference titles and stay ranked. Last season, the Golden Eagles were on fire but lost Kolek to an injury at a very inopportune moment; this season they had an offensive nightmare against a team that they had every opportunity to beat. Smart is going to have a hard time replacing Kolek but I think that he will keep Marquette relevant going forward. He just has to translate one of these high rankings into a deep tourney run at some point.
Probably the worst shooting night we had all season, yet it still took NC St’s guards making some really tough shots late in the shot clock to stave us off. Really sad about today but proud of our team and where our program is headed.
MU was #2 for a reason, beating Kansas, Illinois, Creighton and Texas along the way. This was just an extremely bad shooting night against a very hot team. Anyone can win one particular game; not many can win 27 games in a season.
Go Warriors! Grad in ‘76, the Al era. Watched them win in ‘77 at the Ardmore. This is a team I would love to even watch the championship in Milwaukee. Quarter barrels flying out of the old McCormock hall. March down the Ave to the lake. This group is great. Love seeing Oso bring the ball down court.
Joplin has really turned a page the last couple games. We’ve been waiting for this Jop and it’s so great he playing to his capabilities. Really happy for him
