Despite injuries and headwins #mubb brings the regular season to a close with a win and a solid Big East campaign. We're back to talk about the past week of games from the hearty effort against UCONN to the gutsy win on the road against Xavier. We spend time talk about it each game and what we took away from it before turning to the Big East Tournament. We discuss what we want from the tournament and how we see the tournament going. Buckle up kids, the ride's about to exciting. Enjoy!

Selection Sunday has come and gone with us reacting to where #mubb is seeded. We talk about Marquette's seeding and breakdown the first game against UNC. We talk about the game with eyes wide open, as it will not be an easy game. We then talk about the bracket overall as well as what odds the Big East has in making a run as a conference. Lastly, Joe shares lots of insights into Fort Worth if anyone is making the treck for the game on Thursday. As always, enjoy!

Welcome back #mubb, we hope you enjoyed National Marquette Day! We are back to talk about the game against Butler and any conclusions that we can draw from such a game. We then turn to the week ahead which features a frisky DePaul team and a St Johns match up that will be frenetic at worst. We close out the pod looking ahead to BET and Selection Sunday. Enjoy!

The season ended and we're all trying to figure out whats next

Well, the off season is officially upon us thanks to a spectacular display from Ja Morant and Murray State. So we have to ask ourselves, what the hell happened in that game, where did it all go so wrong? We also have to talk about Wojo, because there are definitely reasons for alarm that he may not be the guy to lead Marquette to anything of consequence. That discussions turns to what the team looks like next year and whether or not they will be better and better enough to do anything of consequence. As we shift into off-season mode we highlight the topics that will put up the pod signal to bring us out of our off season laziness: Markus go or stay, other roster turnover(transfers, reclassification, etc), and the coaching staff. We close out the pod with a highlight of a little project we have going on that we'll pod on in April and start rolling material out for soon: a 68 team Sports Movie bracket!! Enjoy!

We've got a lot of ground to cover this podcast so we have to hit the ground running. First we highlight the bracket reveals and where MU stands before we turn to dissecting the Big East Tournament. We talk about exercising the St John's demons and then turn to the $hitshow that was the Seton Hall game. We talk about officiating travashamockeries, finding a new hated rival in the Big East, and how MU recovers from the result. We then talk about Markus Howard's performance in the Big East Tournament and whether we think he is more injured then they are letting on or if he is tired. We then get to the topic on everyone's mind, is MU going to win an NCAA Tournament game (would be first in Wojo's tenure)? So we talk match ups with Murray State, and can MU stop Ja Morant. We also talk about what happens if MU advances and the MU bracket generally, with the idea that we're generally pretty satisfied with the draw and we just have to hope MU can play up to it's potential. We close out the pod with some general bracket analysis, become both Oregon and Wofford fans, look forward to a great tournament. Enjoy!

This is....not good. To keep from spiraling to far, we are going to approach this pod as a Stewie Griffin "complement sandwich". So first we talk about the All Big East Team awards for Markus, Sam, and Joey. Then we pivot to the giant, awful, no good month of March for Marquette. We talk about all the things that went wrong in the Georgetown game and ask ourselves "do we have any confidence left"? We talk about how the narrative of this season has completely changed and if there is an extension coming for Wojo they need to bury the announcement on a busy news day. It's then time to talk Big East tournament with it's seemingly inevitable rematch with St Johns, which we are not looking forward to. We try to talk ourselves into Marquette pulling itself together for post-season play but neither of us can really muster that conviction. We then close out the complement sandwich with a congratulations to Bradley, coached by MU great Brian Wardle, as they secure an NCAA tournament big. Enjoy?

You are looking live, at least live to tape as both of us were in Milwaukee for the senior day festivities and final regular season game. So we recorded a podcast to discuss the game and where we stand for the NCAA tournament. First, we discuss the game against Creighton and JjJ's big first half, how nervous we got in the second half, and of course the Luke Fischer proposal. Then it's time to talk NCAA tournament chances, with both of us feeling pretty confident we're in regardless of the Big East Tournament results. However, we do have to talk about the Big East tournament and the 2nd round match up of Marquette against Seton Hall. After talking about the Big East tournament and the NCAA tournament we talk about the All Big East team and bemoan the lack of Marquette players on the list and question the fact that Markus Howard was not a unanimous freshmen All Big East selection. Let's get a win on Thursday to remove all doubt but we should probably get our dancing shoes ready. Enjoy!

The season has been a grind to say the least, but the first in the Wojo era is now over and we need to talk about. We spend a little time talking about the Big East tournament, but not too much because there wasn't a lot new there. We then talk relatively surprising news, the transfer of Steve Taylor Jr to parts unknown. Since the season is over we have to talk about how this news impacts next year's team and vent a little disappointment. Speaking of disappointment, we talk about the Big East performance in March Madness. We try to put it in perspective for Marquette short and long term and why we should all be Musketeer fans. Lastly, we close out with a few odds and ends like Marquette in Italy this summer. Cleanse yourself of the season and give a listen while we are hopefully celebrating a Badger loss.

Buzz is gone, let's have a little therapy about it

Not much to say in this rundown. We talk about the relatively shocking news that Buzz Williams is no longer the head coach at MU and the even more shocking news that he went to Backwater Virgina....I mean Blacksburg, Virgina (spelling is hard) to do it. After a very long discussion about what happened with rampant speculation and unfounded conclusions we pivot to what does Marquette do next and what is the impact on the current players/recruits. We do think this can turn out positively for Marquette, but it's going to be a lot of angst. Buckle up, the ride has only just begun.
