Post by: Tom Crean's Tanning Bed on February 22, 2009, 10:01:07 PM
...February 10, 1979. 

#9 Marquette 71, #5 Louisville 55

And two Top 10 teams have NEVER met at the BC.

I find it hard to believe that of all the NCAA Tournament games that have been held at the BC that none ever included a Top 10 matchup...

Not from what I can tell, mainly because the Bradley Center has never hosted anything other than the first and second rounds.  We've had match-ups of 2 ranked teams during the tourney, just never 2 top 10 teams.

Wow, 30 years!  That Lville team won it all the next year.  MU was a three seed out West, losing to DePaul in the Sweet 16.  DePaul finished third (they played a consolation game back then).  That was the Magic vs. Bird Championship year.

When's the last time MU played 3 top 10 teams in a week (might even be 3 top 5 teams), as they will do starting Wednesday?

I'm not positive about the exact rankings at the time, but Rutgers went through a stretch earlier this year facing: UNC, Pitt, Uconn, and MU all within about a week to a week and a half.

WE ARE MARQUETTE!!!

That's right. UNC, UConn, and Pitt were over a span of 7 days for Rutgers and were ranked 1-2-3.

February 10th 1979 was the day I was born.   That has to be good luck for us right? ;D 

Unless that means February 25th 2009 is the day that I day.  Crap ?-(

That's a lie. It is impossible for Marquette and DePaul to be successful at the same time!

Thanks General. That is an awesome tidbit. I have a couple friends going to their first MU game on Wednesday and emailed them that. I have a feeling that the BC will be the loudest it has ever been!

I AM PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly, the thong will be in Madison that night watching on TV.  The thong likes to watch games on the floor.   ;D
