[Cracked Sidewalks] Marquette at North Carolina

[GooooMarquette]

We were #2 in the nation when the season started. We were loaded. The distraction of Al's retirement hung over that team and it underachieved. We were on the bubble when we went on the road for 5 games to finish the season. After we won the first 4 we were 20-6 and likely in.  After a solid first half at #2 Michigan (I think we were up 5 or 6 at the break) the announcement came.

I'm sure "many" expected us to be one and done, but many more didn't. We were the clear betting favorite in all of our tournament games except the final vs UNC.

I know the history. I was out most of the home games that season and all five of the tournament games. And while you may think we were favored in all but the UNC game, we weren't.

"Obviously, the atmosphere will be much different than what I'm accustomed to in the Dean Dome," Wojciechowski said. "I'm kind of disappointed I won't get any boos because that's what I'm used to when I go over there."
Wojciechowski will take his new school to see the old while they're so close. He said the team will stay in Chapel Hill Wednesday night and practice in Cameron Indoor Stadium on Thursday before leaving for UConn.

Maybe he's got an interview for a assistant coaching job to go to?

They reprogrammed the canned fan noise?

That's very cool that they are practicing at Cameron. If nothing else, this will be a trip the players can tell their kids and grandkids about. Hopefully the story includes a win.

Better yet, 2, and we fans can start dreaming again. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

One thing that I don't know that's been mentioned is that the Big East team that North Carolina is most similar to is UConn. They play very similar styles of ball. I wouldn't be surprised if MU targeted North Carolina because it would better prepare them for the game against UConn.
