Around the Big East

[paultzman]

Every guy on M’Q starting five can handle the ball great, really is a challenge to opponents

 

[paultzman]

M’Q gets hands defensively on a ton of passes and recover to guys on kick outs like greyhounds.

Purdue size w O on bench a problem w 5 minutes left

 

[paultzman]

In a nut shell

 

[paultzman]

No quit in M’Q, battled back down stretch, down 1 w 45 seconds left. Pressure got them back in it when down 10

Marquette falls to Purdue by 3. Tough first half for them but they are a legit national title contender.

 

[Silly Donovan]

Marquette represented themselves well. While only beating an unranked UCLA team by 2, and lucky to have won, they came back strong in their last two games. While not unbeatable, they will present a challenge to Pitinos boys for sure.

I haven’t been this excited for a big east season since Marcus in 2002. I can’t fully explain it. And at my age (49) it’s borderline embarrassing.

I never dreamed that the conference would get back to this level. To see cuse and bc peddling in mediocrity and honesty second class citizenship within their own conference …well it brings a tear to my eye.

 

[NCJohnnie]

Marquette, UCONN and Creighton all legit final four contenders this year. Edey almost certain POY. Exciting college hoops year for sure.

Marquette plays with the defensive skill and smarts Pitino wants to implement here. Klolek looked totally gassed the last five minutes

 

[NCJohnnie]

Creighton 14-27 from three. If we can finish fourth in this super league would be a major accomplishment.

Was anybody’s favorite player Baby Ruth?

In many cases when a coach gets gently pushed out of one high major job so he can take another job that is not perceived to be on the same level it won't always end up well for a coach.

But at least right now Shaka Smart landing in Milwaukee after leaving Austin looks like a tremendous move by him. He is flourishing at Marquette.

Yes, and then there is a coach who flourished at Marquette and then crapped out at both Indiana and Georgia - Tom Crean

UConn v. Indiana drew 20K on Sunday afternoon.

It happened to be a good bar.
Don't get upset if I tell you
that it was not named after Babe Ruth
