MU Eats Another Cupcake, Beats UNI 73-43
Written by: hilltopper91@gmail.com (Kevin Buckley (aka Hilltopper))
Marquette cruised to another victory, smoking Northern Iowa by 30 points.
What's there to say about a pounding like this? Wes Matthews had 17. Lazar hit 15, McNeal 13.
For cripes sake, Frozena played 5 minutes tonight, presumably to rest our starters (and subs) for tomorrow. You'd need to go back to 19-ninety-never to find another game where a walk-on played 5 minutes for Marquette.
Here's the AP story. (http://gomarquette.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/recaps/112808aaa.html)
Unofficial Box Score (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/boxscore?gid=200811280418)
Tomorrow, MU will take on Dayton in Marquette's first test of the year, as the first 5 have been some real Hostess Cupcakes: Marquette's Strength of Schedule for their first 5 games rate 343 out of 347, according to Sagarin (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/bkt0809.htm).
Sure, after MU plays 18 BE games, their SOS will be top notch, but .. WOW. 343 out of 347? Unreal.

Rob hanley played more than 5 minutes in a game in 2004 when diener broke his hand. Just thought I'd throw that out there
Nice memory!
