Was it over when the German's bombed Pearl Harbor?

Was it over when the Blue Jays bombed 3 balls?

FIFY

[Clam Crowder]

Lets be honest though guys. Last night did not lose anything for us. We were not getting in with a win or a win vs st johns. We are in the same position as yesterday we need to win the BET to get in and its still open.

Alleluia! This is exactly how I feel. That game meant alot more to PC and they got lucky as hell to come out with a win. We know what we have to do. Let's see what these guys have.

Giving up losing for Lent

Win game 1 and anything can happen.

The pope is a Jesuit and lent started. ITS OUR DESTINY.

How bout a route of Providence, SHU, Butler for the auto bid

You may not have noticed, but there's a whole lot of Catholic in our conference.    Tough for God to choose.

Also, lets not forget. It is very, very difficult to beat a team 3 times in the same season. Bodes well for a Creighton or Nova matchup. Yay positivity!

Pretty sure this cliche \ myth has been debunked for football and basketball the last few years.  Somewhere there is an article or two on it which I'll try to find.

After witnessing the meltdown on this board, I decided to break from the norm of my usual "read only" behavior and post that the season isn't over yet.  Yeah, we're probably not going to run the table in the BET but I'm still excited to see if it can be done.

Exactly. We all know MU has the talent. We also know this years BE is weaker than prior years. Why not MU? No better redemption for the bad season then running the table and sneaking in. Being optimistic hasn't hurt anyone.

This just about sums up my attitude perfectly. What does it hurt being optimistic for another (hopefully) 11 days?

Kenosha...Great post...am proud of you!!

Every year some team comes out of nowhere to take a bid away from a team more deserving; this year that team is us. 

We are that team.  We're taking away Wisconsin's bid.  I read it on this site a couple of weeks ago.

Yep, it's a cute general statement but doesn't take into consideration that once they get the first two, they usually win the third.

[Tommy Brice for Coach]

That would be unreal. I'd start going to church if that happened, because God is for real and he's a Marquette fan.

No one thought the '97 MU team could win the CUSA title either. That team was far less talented than this one. But they ran off 4 games in 4 days to win it and get in the NCAA's, before getting their doors blown off by Providence and Austin Croshere.

Far less talented?  I'll concede Gardner but who else from this team would you take over Hutch, Pieper, Crawford and Abraham? The guards are a no brainer and Crawford was more consistent than Jamil.

Unfortunately, I was @ that Providence game. Still mutter every time I see Croshere.

Gordon Bombay took a team full of 1-star recruits to the finals...

Let's get this trophy!!!

[Coleman]

3 wins is a helluva lot easier than 4 or 5 like it was in the old BE.

Every team has hot and cold runs throughout the season. I think we are still due for another 3 game hot run.

Let's do it.

[Coleman]

Also, a silver lining...this is probably the most interested I've been in the BET tournament since we joined
