Title: Anyone Have MU Past the Sweet 16?

I just posted this at Crackedsidewalks, but I am curious to learn how strong our brethren's faith in MU lies...

Be Honest Now

In the spirit of journalistic integrity, I will tell you where Marquette stands in my brackets.

I filled out two tourney sheets, coughed up $25, and had Marquette beating Michigan St. twice...and North Carolina once. And that's it.

Any one take MU any farther? If so, I am in awe of you.

Unless, of course, you picked the Marquettes to go to the Final Four in a "friendly" pool for no money. That pool is no friend of mine.

If Marquette can beat UNC in NC there's no reason they can't beat anyone. Sadly in my pool I have UNC winning but I hope to God they prove me wrong!

out of the 8 or so brackets i filled out, i think i've got MU beating MSU in 6 of them, and MU over NC in 3 of those. I don't have us going any further than the sweet 16. I'd be pretty pleased to see us playing next weekend.

I always pick MU to lose early. That way, if they win I could care less about my bracket.

I'll be pretty pleased if we're playing this weekend.

the way I see it is I will go down with the ship... I have them beating UNC in all but 1 pool I am in... another way I see it is I have Texas winning... so I don't see myself losing the bracket due to the 2 points I get if UNC would beat Marquette... so might as well give it a try :)

I have to use the ol' gamble-with-your-head-not-your-heart approach. I flip flopped on my 6 pools on them beating MSU but nowhere do I have them getting past North Carolina. If they do though, I see no reason they should lose to anyone else in the bracket.

My kid brother rolled into town. He has MU in the final game.

He went to the Culinary Institute, not Marquette.

I am both proud and humilated.

I'm 50/50 on beating MSU, with no bracket getting past UNC. If we get past UNC then I think Georgetown is the only threat in the bracket. I'd love to watch MU vs. Texas...McNeal would surely play and I know he could shut down Durant.
