with the headline "Marquette isn't that bad"
Here's the link for those of you that are lazy to find it:

You didn't post the link so that we would all go there and read it, also noticing the blog underneath asking if TC is on the hot seat at IU. Well played.
"Had Marquette won a few of their close games, the story would be much different, and the nonconference foes wouldn't really matter much. "
Yep. Those 10-15 RPI spots we lost by stomping Maryland ES, Presbyterian, etc .. this was the year to not play those turkeys.
I would argue we've had one of our toughest OOC schedules in a long time... vs. Michigan, Xavier, FSU, NC State, & UW? When is the last time we've played that many BCS conference teams in the OOC schedule?
