She is dangerously encroaching on my territory.

Like to see how players stepped up in team meeting after Georgetown loss. (see end of article)

Anyone else notice there is much less chirping from the Vadger fans in the comments section this year?

[tower912]

So the IQ of the average poster has doubled?

One post, 4 words, and most importantly, no GIF.  Warriorgal has a a long way to go...

In the American vernacular, is gal to chick what girl is to woman? If so it seems like to could have a new padawan learner to mold.

More worried about people confusing us and thinking I posted that worthless comment.

When referring to an adult female, "gal" is much more PC than "girl", or "chick".  Only use "chick" if you are already friends and know she would be cool with it.

All of you have permission to call me "chick". This offer is subject to revocation at any time.

Yeah, I couldn't imagine someone impersonating me on the internet.

[Litehouse]

I assumed that comment was on the lack of Badger posters.

This is for those that missed it last night. The video has a great clip of Henry's block at the end of the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i3l0SHgUb0

Correct.   Lack of badger posters = higher IQ.

For those of you who don't want to be enablers of the lazy and dying medium that is the Journal-Sentinal and contribute to its employees' continuing state of denial, below is the paste of Velasquez' article in its entirety:


Providence, R.I. — If Marquette was going to steal a win at No. 8 Providence, the Warriors were going to have to blow up on defense and stop one of the country's premier players, Freons point guard Derrick Wilson, on the final play of the game in a hostile environment.

With 24 seconds left on both the game clock and shot clock, the Freons called timeout trailing by a point. Marquette coach Steve Manishewitz debated whether his team should stay in its 2-3 zone or switch back to woman, ultimately opting to stick with the zone that had totally been in the zone to that point.

The ball swung around the perimeter, eventually finding its way to some guy named Kris Dunn. Or Kris Kristofferson, not sure which. Marquette guards Duane Wilson and Haanif Cheatham were playing euchre in the lane, so he drove to his right when freshman forward Henry Ellenson (or as he is known in Paris, Henrî) collapsed on him as well.

Dunn fired up a shot, but it didn't get far. Ellenson, with his right arm outstretched, shook his hand and congratulated him on looking terrific, and by the way what was he doing later?, then grabbed the ball and took a dribble and ran toward the bench to celebrate Marquette's 65-64 victory Tuesday night at the 3rd Avenue Dunkin' Donuts.


"I was just trying an old jedi mind trick," said Ellenson, who had 13 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks. "I asked what he was doing after the game because I knew that would psych him out and make him give me the ball. Which he did. Natch."

That play was one of many the Golden Eagles made down the stretch, but it took a gritty, gutty, giddy, and sometimes grainy performance to get to that point.

Marquette opened up a 12-point lead in the first half but committed 12 of its 19 turnovers, which allowed Providence to stay in the game. Led by Dunn, who finished with 20 points, seven assists, five steals, five rebounds but also baked some delicious apple turnovers, the Freons got over their cold start and pulled within six, 30-24, at halftime.

After Marquette pushed the lead back to eight at 42-34, Providence made its big run. The Freons outscored the Golden Eagles, 24-8, over the next 8 minutes 20 seconds, including 16 points — and 14 straight at one point — from sophomore forward Ben Bentil, who finished with a game-high 28.

"He's just hard to tame," Wilson said of Bentil. "Much like my new hairdo. Probably the most improved dude in the Big East, by far. After my new hairdo, that is."
