Kolek planning to go pro
Kam Jones needs to shoot better and the guys need to rebound, rebound. Can't stress that enough. No lazy passes that lead to stupid turnovers like yesterday. It will be difficult but it's doable. It will be fun to watch. I can't hardly wait.
I’ve long believed that the Friday nite semis in the BET is the best nite of basketball prior to the tournament and I’m pleased as punch that we are a part of it again.
There also were a lot of people here who thought it was pretty obvious Marquette would get smoked by UConn at Fiserv back in January and were surprised by that outcome.Tonight, I think we play one of our best games of the season and advance to the finals.We Are Marquette!
I think I had convinced myself that the BET did not mean much to me, but very excited for the game tonight. I think Wades post on BET made me realize that it really is a special tournament, played in the best arena in the world.
Its one of those ones where if we lose after the fact I wont care much, bigger fish to fry.But id be lying if I said I'd be anything less than stoked pulling this one out. And the fact its Uconn in "their arena" as Hurley called it. Makes me want it a little more.
Can all you MFers stop talking about I hope we stay healthy. Thats some bad juju.
Country RoadsI am 100% focused on the NCAA because I think they have an opportunity that does not happen often. They have a chance to advance a long way this season and hope they can cross the finish line. I firmly believe that I might not ever see an MU team that is blessed with this chemistry. This does not happen by accident, and more importantly, it does not happen very often.
I’m not one to say “playing with house money” but I only see opportunity for MU tonight. It would be incredible to go get this one and it’d be a another feather in the cap for this amazing season, but a loss here and I’m quickly flipping the page to the NCAAs.
So who do we want X or CU?
Good takes - we’ll also need Jop to knock down some shots and I’ll think Chase will be a factor.
Got offered a boosted parlay.Felt great about Purdue and Bama today so decided to toss Uconn in as minor pity consolation should we lose.Hopefully the $500 ticket gets shredded in about 3.5 hours.
