Sportscenter discussion on Marquette

[79Warrior]

so which does Bilas give into...his ACC pedigree or his paycheck signed by the company contractually associated with the Big East 

ESPN has contracts with both BE and ACC

Here is the link to the highlight and ensuing commentary.

way to ruin a good thread about a tough road win and great national exposure.

Well, you know who didn't get many tough road wins and only cared about national exposure...

my bad...clearly an indication that I should have been asleep at that point in the night...

[jaybilaswho?]

it was good to see SC start with MU and to hear Jay supporting us, especially given that Digger was giving ND and 'gody 'Dome'. I know your history with ND but atleast mention the MU played a great game.

Not to detract from this thread, but this was a win that we would not have gotten with Crean at the helm.

Bilas just said not only can Marquette end up in the top 3 or 4 in the BEast, but because of their schedule, they could win the thing.

High praise.

Go Warriors!

Edited to add exact quote:  "I'll tell you what, this team can absolutely play, and they are a legit threat, not only to finish in the top three or four in the Big East, but because of their schedule I think Marquette can wind up winning this thing."

ESPN mobile posted a poll after the ND game: Which is the best team in the Big East? Pittsburgh, 31%, UConn 30%, Louisville 25%, Marquette 9%, Syracuse 5%.

Personally, I'll go with 'Rel's quote in the Journal today.

"Let 'em keep doubting us," a laughing McNeal said. "Ain't nobody in our locker room worried about it."
