I Accept That We Lost....

...Neutral court????????????????????????????????????????????????

[GRIMMREAPER]

Just keep in mind that in our Final Four run we got a big push from playing Pitt and Kentucky in Minnesota.  What goes around comes around.  I think we've paid our dues for that now, though.  Prefer a more equitable location next year.

Good point.  All i'm asking for is neutrality, e.g. Alabama in San Diego, not asking for an advantage.  1800 miles vs 291 miles one year, 1800 miles vs 800 miles the next pisses me off.

Yeah, but wasn't Marquette a 3 or 4 seed that year?

You didn't study our team very well, or read the blogs from our fans.  UW always plays that way when we get down, there was no "we have nothing to lose" about it. This is how we play and we all told you guys that Venoy Overton would molest your point guard, but your people told us that we've never seen pressure like you have in the Big East. Did we get some calls, yeah maybe we got a few, but damn...you had a 15point lead, you can't blame all that on the officials, that's just sour grapes. Good game Marquette, I respect and really like your ball club, It's just a shame that you are unable to show as much class as your players did and just congratulate the U for a game well played. Good luck in the future.[/b][/b]

Agree with you 100% duanewade...I keep posting the same thing:

When MU got up 15, obviously Romar told his guys they have nothing to lose...might as well overdeny, body up and make them call it.  They didn't.  It was sad.  Mo was getting bounced around out there like a pinball..and at one point they call him for an offensive foul.  Then, minutes later, the whistle him for a tick tack fould on his denial defense.  I want to know where these officials came from..what conference.  You cannot initiate successful offense when your point guard is getting molested the moment he crosses half court.  Their D completely took us out of the game, while the officiating of our defense rendered us pretty much helpless to play with the same kind of physicality.

Well played Harryhsky.  You're clearly a graceful winner. VO was a playa.  He had 3 fouls in the 1st half , and amazingly didn't pick up a single one in the second half.  Clearly this was because Maurice Acker stopped driving at him.  Really, you're the best defensive team in bball!  Hit it hard from here on out, I'm sure it'll serve you, and VO well....

VO isn't a thug (I actually completely agree) , he just got calls going his way in the 2nd half, that's all!  Still, you're one and done.  Good luck!
