Blowing out Norfolk State 59-30 early in the second half.
Should be a good game. Need to keep them off the boards. Dangerous team but you've got to beat teams like this once in the S16.
4 Guys 6'9 or over. Wish we had Otule for some backbone by the rim, but if we spread the floor and make them work I think there D is suspect, and we're due for a good shooting game.
Definitely got to rebound better. I know statistically Wilson had a very nice shut-down defensive performance yesterday, but he's got to do better rebounding - Daniel is the same size and owned him on the glass, now he's giving up some size. The UConn fan that said they're "a bunch of chuckers" is right - their field goal percentages aren't impressive, so can't give them multiple opportunities. We actually have a size advantage 1-3 which I like because our guards should also be quick enough to keep with their speed -could definitely see us collecting fouls if we play our game with bigger guards, quicker inside play, and Gardner being a magician.
Florida will be very tough to beat. They have good guards, size in the front court, and went to the Elite Eight last year. Donovan is one of the best coaches around. If Marquette wins, they will have beaten a really good team and will have a much deserved trip to the Elite Eight.

Mizzou was Norfolk State's national title. I could tell when they came out still in uniform after the game. If they were going to keep it up, they would have been focusing on the next game.

Usually, you have to beat even better teams. No wins are guaranteed this time of year, though.
