CWSGuy406 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 w00t! Great great second half for Marquette. The two Hillcrest kids were phenomenal, Barro was great and James did what he needed to do. As far as I'm concerned, Marquette has done what they've needed to do -- anything else (in this tourney) is gravy. This win should solidify Marquette as a #5 or 6 in the tourney. That's pretty reasonable, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotop Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Sloppy game for ND, hats off to Marquette's D. I knew I was right to be afraid of McNeil. The kid is good. I guess the only frustrating thing is how well Marquette shoots against us. I think today's game makes them an above 50% 3pt shooting team against us this year. That's ridiculous, and may say something about NDs perimeter def (I hope it just means ND ran into a buzzsaw, nothing more). Hot Marquette shooting + early foul trouble for Luke = End of Game. It's really that simple. Can't say this isn't disappointing; ND always does poorly in the BET and it sucks. Pitt winning the game before makes this especially disappointing because ND matches up well w/Pitt. Another Hibbert/Harnagody show down would have been cool. ND should be a 4 seed now, but will likely get jobbed and get a 5 or 6, get shipped off somewhere crazy and have to play some upstart mid-major (cough Davidson cough). /endtinfoilhatconspiracytheory Should be a GTown/Marq rematch in the final on Sat.

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Notre Dame actually got some legit point guard play from Jackson tonight (9 times, 2 turnovers)....but it's just hard to win when you don't even care on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 f***ing UCONN...they're so annoying. I was planning on heading into Manhattan tonight to check out the semis at the Garden but now that theyre gone i think im gonna pass. G'Town got lucky to win that game...no way do they make 17 threes against WV, especially at that rate (of course its unrealistic to think Hibbert will go scoreless again). It'll be interesting to see if Joe Alexander can continue his hot hand tonight. Should be a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 That dunk is just NASTY, Stanley Robinson is one of the best athletes in the country and Alexander just made him his b**** right there. I've always enjoyed watching Alexander's game as he has surefire NBA ability, but he's really stepping up the last month, and not surprisingly with that in mind, so is West Virginia.

CWSGuy406 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Absolutely putrid reffing in the Marquette/Pitt game -- f***ing terrible. f*** you, Tim Higgins. I'm very happy with Marquette's showing in the tourney and proud as hell tonight. I'm fairly certain they've earned themselves a five seed (at worst a six).

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks to a 28-12 foul edge (less fouls that is) and 44-9 edge in free throw attempts, Pitt wins the big east title by 9 over Georgetown. The Panthers finished a stellar 22-44 from the line after starting 8-23, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
