So we all hate Becky. But Pitt rapes puppies, So i just really do not know who to root for in this one.
Maybe we can just hope that the "elvira may" drops a hiroshima on both locker rooms.

Pitt fans were the worst fans when they were in the Big East. And their players had plenty of cheap shots during our games with them as well. I distinctly remember Jamie Dixon completely over-reacting to getting bumped by Chapman (when Chapman was pushed)in a game.
Can't stand Pitt. Obviously not a fan of UW. I think I will just not watch the game.
Root for the Vadgers? Sorry, no chance. Go Panthers.

Bull, worst fans were far and away Louisville. I've never actually had anything against Pitt, probably because I didn't follow marquette until I started there in 2011 and by that point Pitt was wayyy down.

Had a client it Lulville so spent a lot of time there. They are bad but Cats fans worse. IMO Pitt worse too.
I never minded Pitt. Roadtripped there for a Marquette game with some buddies a few years back. Fans were very nice. Also a surprisingly good night life in that city. Had a fun time afterward.
Real Barn Burner so far.

The high school games around me are better basketball than this game.
This is one of the most pathetic displays of basketball I've seen in a while.
Meanwhile, Green Bay is entertaining as hell to watch.
22-16 at half. It's like a bad grade school game.
First off - ugly, glad PITT is winning, glad 16 is the lowest of any team in a half (did we have 19 in '03?).
second off - i was dicing garlic, did i hear "San Antonio has some big 'ol women"?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
These announcers are ridiculously pro vadgers. Seriously, they keep choking on Happ's d!ck
Happ has a dick, hey?
Boring basketball is Wisconsin's forte
Halftime score was same ad rebound totals, 22-16. Both teams shouting 40%. This game defines boring.
Just terrible basketball. Hope Pitt can finish this.
Terrible basketball beat pathetic attempt at basketball.
0 for Pitt made three horrible decisions in that last minute to help Pitt lose it.
Horrible game to watch.
89 combined points, lowest since at least 2000.
Berkeley was on Tru ripping this game a new one, called it unwatchable.
Both teams stink.

Both teams got over 39, heeyna?
From east coast perspective, St. Johns best and most informed, Seton Hall by far the worst, I won't leave the building until the thugs clear the parking garage.
Worst tournament game I can remember in a long while (not because of the result). Three's missing the rim completely, countless missed bunnies. Xavier should be licking their chops.
Did you see the bit they did about Weber State and the Pitt band?
Weber State could not afford to send ther band to their game against Xavier. So they paid each member of the Pitt band $15 to stick around, put on Weber state shirts and play for their fans. They showed a video of them switching shirts between games.
The Pitt band even volunteered to learn the Weber State fight song and played it.
Is this a new thing? Could be a new trend for low budgets 13 to 16 seeds.

Not common necessarily, but Definitely been done before.

Correct.
In 1996 when Marquette hosted, Univ of Portland was sent to us. They played Villanova and had no band, so another school (Tulsa, I think) played for them.
Give Bucky their props. Winnin' ugly beats sittin' on yo thumbs, ai na?

Lots of times. The Marquette band played for (edit: I can't recall who it was), if my memory serves me, in the 1968 mideast regional in Lexington Kentucky. My brother had interesting stories from that trip. He had never witnessed racial segregation, etc.

Did he go to Marquette? I ask only because Milwaukee is one of the most segregated cities in the country.
Has da scene changed? Back in da day, da NCAA paid for 40 band members and 8 cheerleaders to attend these Tourney games. 4 to a room and MU kicked in $12 per dime for grub and such. We actually made money on that deal. Could get a burger, fries, and a Coke for $.52, hey?

Um, if he was playing for the Marquette band, yes, he attended Marquette. This was 1968. Lexington, Kentucky. I should have stated that he had never seen such open segregation before. For example, he had never seen "Whites Only" signs in Milwaukee.
Surely he came across an Adolph or two in MKE, doe, hey?

Thats not even the "normal" fans. I went to MU-SHU at Prudential this year and had a 30 something "educated" basketball-wise SH fan behind me constantly saying Henry was overrated, he was strictly a spot up shooter and rebounder and kept yelling "make him dribble, he cant dribble!" then said "yea, I wasn't impressed by him at all". Another fan was cackling about how they made "that lottery pick look like complete crap". If I recall correctly, Henry had 12 and 10. What a miserable showing indeed.

Milwaukee is the 80s was not a very integrated place. And locals were pretty open about their perception of minorities.
Blacks were disliked, hispanics were a nuisance, and Asians were a curiosity.
It was a sock, not a tie in my day. A gentleman never tells, just sayin', hey?
