Title: 2003 vs 2013
Post by: DCWarriors04 on March 25, 2013, 04:14:36 PM
2003
13 seed gives us a scare
Dog fight vs a 6 seed
Sweet 16 vs a BCS Conference foe with little prior NCAA tourney success
Elite 8 vs a #1 seed who everyone thought would win it all
Kansas in the Final 4

2013
13 seed gives us a scare
Dog fight vs a 6 seed
Sweet 16 vs BCS Conference foe with virtually no prior NCAA tourney success (only one other sweet 16)

Gotta like the karma lining up again....

I actually am starting to believe that Marquette is going to surprise some people on Thursday. I've been listening to sports radio all day long and everyone is picking Miami, talking up Shane Larkin, talking about Jim Larraunga and Miami's long list of seniors, and not mentioning any MU players, only Buzz. Let Miami get all the attention and accolades, and let MU come in with a chip on their shoulder.

People talked up Florida last year like that and we were suppose to have a chip on our shoulder then too (after getting destroyed by NC the year before), but I will say I am a lot more confident this year for some reason; Buzz seems to have this group focused on more than just the S16 unlike years past.

Possible match-up with Kansas in the F4 again.  Hopefully it goes better than last time, but until then, just focus on Miami first.

The number of letters in the names of MU's top 6 scorers on the team in 2003 and 2013 both add up to 69.

69 is MU's average points scored/game for 2013, 10 less than the 79 MU averaged per game in 2003.

69 + 10 = 79.

2003 + 10 = 2013

So in 2014, we should intentionally average 68 points, so that way we we'll have:

68 + 11 = 79.

2003 + 11 = 2014
