By all means, criticize when appropriate. It just seems odd that we are talking about something that has nothing to do with Derrick or Wojo but you still feel the need to criticize. It's kind of...well...Ners-like
And you feel the need to keep shooting your mouth off. Change your on line name to TAMU the Gum Flapper. To the ignore button.
I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

Davidson scored 5 points during Marquette's comeback which spanned the final 4 possessions. That comes out to 1.25 PPP. To put that in perspective, the best offense in the country this year (Notre Dame) scored 1.188 PPP. If that's a choke then I'm misunderstanding the definition of the word.

MU's FT % defense was one of the best I had ever seen.  Holding an 80% free throw shooting team to 64%...the way we stood in the blocks on the lane with our hands up was incredible.  The scowls, the hairy pits and the posture really screwed with Davidson's free throw shooters. 

You are equating 4 possessions to a game average?   I remember seeing a QB start a game 2 for 2 in passing at 100%, thus they are truly outperforming the game average of QB that completes 70%.   :)

The yang to the yin that was the 2013 NCAA Tournament results.  In the 1977 tournament, Marquette won a one point game and a two point game on the way to the 8 point victory in the final.  In hindsight, the true precariousness of a result can easily be lost amid excitement over the final result.

Yup.  Anything can happen...just ask Al McGuire about that team.
