Jan. 1, 2019. (1) Big East Game

If a double T doesn't prove my point idk what does

You really want to complain about calls? Go rewatch SJU's last game and then take a seat and feel bad for crying about the officiating in a 20 point blow out.

Why would I complain about that? I don't give a damn about SJU. Bottom line is you guys had multiple times kicking the ball away after dunks (delay of game) got away with starting a fight and we somehow got T'd up. Look we played like crap and you guys lit us up, but you got a lot of makeup from the refs.

Good game Marquette, as others have said...you ran into an extremely pissed off mama grizzly bear. Not many would have beaten us tonight. Howard was harassed all game and didn't get comfy but no doubt he will go right back to dropping 30+ he's a special player. Honestly surprised how well we contained the Hausers and Theo...thought he would eat us for breakfast considering our only big man is Keita. In that scuffle by the way he pushed Ponds and Ponds pushed him back. Mullin stood in between them trying to break it up but there was fault on both sides. We have a real reason to bring up the refs because we lost 100% because of them. Anyone bringing up refs in a complete blowout from start to finish is just sour grapes.

We all knew this SJ team could beat anyone but the key will be stringing together wins instead of winning 1 and losing right after. If this is a real deal SJ team we will beat G'Town in DC and maybe we get ranked but I doubt it. The pundits hate us even though we just beat Seton Hall and Marquette. We are still technically undefeated. Give us our time in the sun, no one has been hit harder by bad news and terrible luck than St. John's in this conference considering all the talent that has passed through here. If we want the Big East maximized we need a good and relevant SJ team. Great win tonight and no doubt Marquette will be fine.

The win took some of the sting out, but still not satisfied.

Next @ G-Town. I want more

Starting a fight? Your boy was all up in Ponds face. Don't be acting all tough and expect the opponent to backdown, that's not gonna happen.

I see absolutely nothing in any of the MU fans posts discussing potential partisanship or make-up calls on the refs part that could be remotely perceived or construed as "sour grapes". These "sour grapes" posters preface literally and/or imply that whether favoritism existed or not, the overwhelming consensus is that, in any scenario that night, St. John's was the superior team for those two hours. Hell, some St. Johns fans also chimed in with exactly the same sentiment. NO MU fan is saying that the refs in any way caused them to lose the game, yet merely that they may have had a pro St. Johns agenda (consciously or subconsciously) due their colleague's colossal f#ck up in the Seton Hall game.

Fair enough, just have to remember that bringing refs up in any pro-SJ light after the abomination at SHU is still a very sore topic with us because we should be undefeated and 2-0 with a signature victory and would've had us in the top 15 most likely if we beat G'Town...now even if we beat G'Town we may not definitely be ranked. Because of the refs. Complaining about the refs to a SJ fan in a game where SJ blew out Marquette and wasn't even close most of the game is just stupid considering what just happened to us (truly worthy of complaint).

Marquette is a very good team and they definitely caught us at a bad time. I think things would've been different had the refs allowed us to win at SHU and we may have been more laid back. They ran into a buzzsaw because of it. Marquette will be fine and their defense is actually pretty good despite last night. We are a good team and our athleticism was not a good match for them last night. Other nights, skill will beat our athleticism. I think it's great to see SJ and Marquette showing the nation that our conference is not just Villanova and Xavier. It's very important that these 2 big name programs get some national exposure again.

Was talking to a few Marquette fans at the game and they were very cool by the way...I like rooting for Marquette more than most Big East teams. I wish you guys well except when we play you of course.

Really nice article....Wojo was very complimentary....this is a good year for SJU to have some success while all of the NY pro teams are mediocre or terrible.....lots of options in NY for sports fans so it’s tough to get traction.....

GTFOH with the delay of game BS. Also your boy had Ponds arm and ball. But yeah thats why you lost by 20 points some delay of games and a late game double T. Yup, those refs sure were out to get you tonight. hahaha I'm sure there will be a public statement from the league about how the refs screwed you guys in a couple of days. Just wait for it.

I've literally said three Times we sucked and didn't show up. How thick are you? Or do they not require reading comprehension over there? The game was not called evenly and Marquette sucked. It lead to a blow out. If game is called evenly you guys still win, which I've said, I'm upset because the love you guys got from the refs took us from just not showing up and losing to getting completely embarrassed. Jesus it's like talking to a 12yr old that can only comprehend one argument at a time.

Also, you guys lost to SHU because you choked away a 14pt lead not because of one late call. Literally do anything else right and you guys win.
