Liked this from Sean Jones re: Nigel James' aggressiveness: "Don't matter if we played at 2 a.m. 3 a.m. Don't matter if we play at 1 p.m. Anybody who ever watches Marquette will see that every single time. He's a guy that you can count on. He's a guy that's going to go." #mubb

Here’s what Shaka Smart said about Marquette frontcourt of Caedin Hamilton, Ben Gold and Royce Parham combining for seven points at Creighton. #mubb

Asked Shaka Smart about Zaide Lowery not making trip with #mubb to Omaha: "Just wasn't here for personal reasons." Not suspended? "Nope" Not leaving the team? "Nope"

FINAL: Creighton 84, Marquette 63 Every game seems to bring a new low for #mubb this season. In this one, they trailed by 31 points, the largest deficit of a dismal season.

Chase Ross is in a bad way. He's 3 for 13 today after going 1 for 11 against Georgetown. And he just smoked a wide-open layup. #mubb

Creighton had a 31-point lead at 68-37. That's the largest deficit that Marquette has faced this season. Purdue had a 30-point lead in its rout of #mubb.

Evergreen tweet: Marquette is shooting 8 for 19 on layups. #mubb

Marquette's 3-point shooting woes (3 for 13 as of this tweet) means if #mubb gets down double digits, it's basically a wrap.

Josh Clark crams home an oop from NJ. I'm sorry, sir, I was somewhat familiar with your work. #mubb

Shaka Smart calls a timeout 1 minute 14 seconds into second half with #mubb trailing, 50-32.

That's a 25-2 run for Creighton over a 3 minute 32 second span. #mubb

Like against G'town earlier this week, #mubb can't sustain a good start and now Creighton leads, 21-15, and Shaka Smart calls a timeout.

Fanta got our over-the-cap NIL payments. #mubb

Shaka Smart put Josh Clark in to guard the inbounder with 1 second left and his kicked ball reset the shot clock. But Clark stayed in for a few minutes and showed a little something with two rebounds. Monitoring! #mubb

Best start of the season for Marquette. Working on a defensive skunk and with a 7-0 lead at the U16 timeout. #mubb

Yes, I made it (just barely). Yes, I will ask after the game. #mubb

Marquette's Shaka Smart has shuffled through many lineups this season. That's probably going to keep happening as #mubb looks for a spark in an ever-darkening season: https://t.co/hHOTo8Wuzn

Jalen Brunson in the MSG interview just now: "I want to thank the lord for Tyler Kolek."

"From the standpoint, first and foremost, of who truly wants to pour into the other four guys with him out on the floor and be all in on Marquette. So that goes into who we play."

Shaka Smart on Zaide Lowery not playing for #mubb today (1/2). "It's a coach's decision. We're continuing to try to evaluate and figure out what the best lineups are and what guys we need to have in the game.
