Good minutes by Pat & Chris! Impressive against such an athletic and long front line like Cinci.
I couldn't help but think of last game vs. Villanova when Wes hit Hazel on the baseline cut for the dunk. Remember when the announcers said Wes (I believe it was him) did not pass the ball to Hazel in the exact same spot on the floor becasue he didn't have confidence in him? Funny how a 20+ point lead changes things.

Yeah, and when somebody dished one to Pat down low, and he nailed the dunk, Hazel was beaming. I honestly think the only thing separating Pat and Chris from averaging 5-10 points and/or 5-10 boards (aside from minutes/Burke's seniority) is confidence. I say give them more minutes, Buzz!
When Otule entered in the game today it was still tied and it didn't look like there was going to be a blowout. Looks like Buzz is trying to get him in some more pressure situations.
Otule's entrance int he first half was a definate spark for the team and we rolled from that point forward - he was an inside threat, and he', well, BIG. And, with Pat, Dwight and Chris we got 11 rebounds amoung them - not bad.
GO MARQUETTE! Beat Rutgers!!
