MU starting to run and stun
Written by: Emmett Prosser
All of the sudden, Marquette has fast break points and the Golden Eagles have a 48-41 lead because of it.
The first seven minutes of the second half were played at a much faster pace. If that continues UK won't have the depth to stay with Marquette. Lazar Hayward is really playing well and Dominic James is staying in front of the the three-point arc. They continue to pound Kentucky off the dribble.
However, I'm not sure why Marquette insists on helping off of Ramel Bradley and Joe Crawford. Crawford is getting far too many easy looks. The duo has 30 of Kentucky's 41 points. The MU scouting report should be pretty simple -- deny the ball from those two guys.
Do you think Marquette can continue to make the Wildcats play fast...or do you think Kentucky's dynamic duo has another big run left in them?

Not that I needed any more reason to hate on Emmett Prosser, but the use of the phrase "all of a sudden" makes me want to cringe. What is wrong with the use of a single word such as, oh, I don't know, "suddenly?" And this guy is a professional journalist?! Sorry, I am sure no one else cares about this, but I cannot stand this phrase especially when used by members of the media who should know better.
I think it is lame that you are splitting hairs about conciseness on a message board.
I think it's lame that you responded to say that you think it is lame when I clearly stated that I realized it probably only bothered me. Also, you apparently failed to realize the difference between posting on a message board and a journalist who gets PAID to write for a living. ::)
Prosser gets paid?
Wow...we're seriously debating GRAMMAR on a basketball message board?? Really? Keep in mind, it's a blog post, so probably not alot of time to edit.
Todd, haven't you split grammatical hairs before on here?
Since MU won yesterday, I guess we need to split some hairs about something
