I can't find a spot to throw these into Cracked Sidewalks right now.  The gang is together drinking some Cognac to celebrate our birthday.

Anyone notice Northern Iowa?  They're 7-1 so in the MVC, including wins @Drake and @Creighton.  Yeah, that's the same team we crushed.

I've become a big fan of "Yet Another Basketball Blog".  Here are two interesting posts he did that have Marquette referenced.

After his second post, I actually sent him something that said my take on DJ was A) he was now option #4 for scoring instead of #1a/1b in the last two years and B) his defense is (or should be) the real story

Hoya Prospectus has an interesting look at quality of teams based on strength of schedule.  Just scroll down till you get to the chart.  MU = highest efficiency margin but easiest schedule so far.
