Marquette hosts mid-major in The Bud Haidet Classic
Written by: noreply@blogger.com (Tim Blair)
The Marquette Warriors host the UW-Milwaukee Panthers tonight at the Bradley Center. From what I'm told, the town is positively buzzing about tonight's epic tilt as the demand for this match-up of cross-town programs is at an all-time high. Yeah, right.
Remember (http://www.jsonline.com/sports/panthers/29213629.html) "this is clearly an important issue to our fans and our students and fans of college basketball in the city of Milwaukee."
Welcome to The Bud Haidet Classic!! (http://www.crackedsidewalks.com/2006/10/i-was-against-it-before-i-was-for-it.html)
Are the specifics of the contract still in effect? MU sure hopes so. Marquette is 36-0 against the Panthers. MU hung a hundred on the Panthers last year (http://www.crackedsidewalks.com/2008/11/marquette-stomps-uw-m.html).
