Scrambled Eggs - Marquette Basketball

Regular Season is a Wrap

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!

Valiant effort, but let's get healthy

Boy, nothing like a routine pass to knock the wind out of the #mubb sails. The team had a series of set backs on the player availability front but with win anyway mentality they gave it a go this weekend in Omaha. We talk about the gutsy performance from the team in Saturday's game first. We then turn to the injury and availability issues the team is going through and what we think the team should do the rest of the regular season. We also talk about tournament seeding as result of what's going on with the team right now. We close out the pod with some senior day talk and a preview of the final week of regular season games. Enjoy!

Just Clowning Around

No matter how you slice it, that was a fun and stress free week of #mubb. We're back to talk about a Kam Jones heater, Tyler Kolek pass-o-rama, and getting wins that count without overtaxing ourselves. We then preview the week ahead in a rematch against both Providence and Creighton where we decide how worried to be about a Hopkins-less Providence and how much it sucks to be in Omaha. We close out looking ahead a little bit at where Marquette is in the race for a protected seed in the NCAA tournament and whether or not the cherished 1 seed is still available. Enjoy!

Well that was unfun

Boy that did not go the way we had it planned in our heads. #mubb took a drubbing against clear #1 in the country, UCONN. So we talk about the game, what happened, what went wrong, what takeaways for the season as a whole, and is Marquette as far behind as that game might indicate. We then look to the week ahead with the hopes that the team having a chance to come home for a bit and play some not as awesome teams will have restorative powers. Enjoy!

National Marquette Day Hits Different

This is gonna be an intense one. #mubb is back after a brief layoff with a heart pounding win against St John's on National Marquette Day. We talk about the vibes, the crowd, and the game to start off the pod. We then turn to the big week ahead. Marquette is on a 7 game winning streak but face to tough road games this week if they hope to extend it. First is a revenge game against Butler in Hinkle, surely Marquette won't shoot so poorly again? Then there is the top 5 showdown in Hartford against #1 UCONN. What will it take for Marquette to win, how does this game impact the rest of the season, we discuss. Enjoy!

It's all starting to come together

Don't look now but #mubb has won 6 in a row and is starting to get healthy. We talk about the roller coaster that was Villanova and a bit of a laugher in our nations capital against Georgetown. We then look ahead to National Marquette Day and what we think of the rematch against St Johns. We also spend a little bit of time looking ahead and whether the regular season title is out of sight yet or not. And we close with some free advertising for the university and NMD. Enjoy!

Despite the Injury Bug #mubb finds a way

Don't look now but Marquette is on a 4 game winning streak. #ScrambledEggs is back to talk about this past week where Marquette pulled together to beat a bad DePaul team and a short handed Seton Hall team to win two games this week. We talk about player development, rain praise on Oso Ighodaro, and talk injuries. We then turn to the week ahead where we hope there is some continued Shaka magic in Philly despite some heavy head winds and talk about Georgetown being bad so even short handed we hope for a win. Enjoy!

Bounce back week for #mubb

Phew, that was a real gut check week for #mubb given how things were going the last couple of games. However, the team passed the gut check with a strong win over Villanova on MLK Day and a real roller coaster of a game at MSG against St Johns. We talk about both games, any general trends that we see as a result, and the emergence of Zaide Lowery. We then talk about the week ahead which includes what should be a laugher in Chicago against DePaul (emphasis on should) and a rematch against Seton Hall. As always, enjoy!

We thought we’d put the therapy coach away, but now we’re burning it

Well this turned out to be a no-good, terrible, unbelievable week for you #mubb team. We kick it off by getting into what in the hell is going on here post-Butler. We then also discuss the very disappointing Sean Jones news. To give folks a chance to vent and problem solve we took a look at what you folks thought is wrong and decided whether we agree or not. After a WHILE we then turn to the week ahead to decide if this is the week they can turn it around. Enjoy!

We thought we’d put the therapy couch away, guess not

Welp, that did not go as expected. #ScrambledEggs is back to talk about a disappointing performance at Seton Hall and talk about how much concern we have for expectations. We also look ahead to the Butler game, thankfully at home, which should bode well for Marquette. It may not have been the week we wanted but damn it, we're gonna enjoy this next week if it kills us.
