That's my list. Now, I think we play better as the hunter but I don't see a dominant team. There's a tremendous amount of parity so anything is possible in the tournament but whether it be Kansas, Houston, UCLA, or anyone else this MU team will fear no one. #Resurgence

After last nite's game, I am convinced that we can play with anyone.
These guys get it. There's tremendous cohesion on this roster and a maestro on the bench. We have the ability to win in a variety of ways. I absolutely love everything about this team.
Nobody. Respect most. Fear none.

Well done, Muggs.
I agree Muggs, there are no teams that we can't beat. I also agree that we are better as the hunter than the hunted. In an odd way I "fear" the first round of the NCAAs more than a potential sweet 16 or elite 8 game just because of our tendency to play up/down to our competition
I can't wait to be the hunted in every game we play. We're very close to that now. The hunted win more than they lose. There's a reason they're hunted.
And honestly, I think Shaka and the team want it too. Yes he uses any perceived slight as a chip on the shoulder. But he knows we deserve to be the favorite. We take a back seat to nobody.
I'd be scared of Alabama...
Not on the court but you know still might duck every time they shoot.
I am not afraid of any team and looking forward to any matchup that comes in the NCAA. This team is not going to back down to anyone. The depth of the team was shown again last night and it was a joy to watch.

LOL. :)
Did anyone notice Shaka's elevation once the buzzer sounded? He's got some pretty nice hops.

You're damn right! This is just the beginning wadesworld. #Resurgence

The contrast of Shaka coaching vs Hurley last night was like a recruiting tool in and of itself. I can't imagine watching that game, seeing those two guys, listening in the huddles, and going "I'd really like to go play for Hurley."
I thought the whole post game interview and locker room speech were like very effective recruiting videos sent out to any recruit watching, for free

I said the exact same thing to Mrs. 82. Who wouldn't want to be part of a Shaka-coached team?

I also had some hops after the buzzer sounded. Some grain, yeast and water were mixed in, too!

In these parts we call that an "MU Alumni Milkshake"

Glorious.
So funny Muggsy - I was going to post - maybe the 14 and 15 seeds should be afraid of Marquette.

Dont believe MU is near the hunted in every game yet, or will be. This is based on the so called projected seedings. Hell, both UConn and Creighton were picked before us to win BEast tourney.
We win tonight and we should be hunted, but for some reason we do not seem to be getting the analysts respect.

Lol Muggs, you got me, i stared at this screen for about a minute refreshing it and waiting for the teams to show up....lol before my first coffee this morning.
