pretty funny.

Marquette learns tourney fate at 11-year-old's birthday party

The solemn mood seen here from the Marquette Warriors had nothing to do with a slow moving Selection Sunday and everything to do with the pony not showing up.  Thankfully, the vibe reportedly took a turn for the better when coach Buzz Williams moonwalked into the room with Fudgie the Whale in one hand, and Cookie Puss in the other

Where was the team at?  And did anyone else get the feeling the team wasn't paying attention b/c they didn't expect to be a 6 seed?

[TallTitan34]

They were at the Annex. 

If definately took them awhile to respond once Marquette was called.  All of the schools had a little lag time on the feed but this seemed longer than the rest.

They were at the Annex.  Yeah, the players seemed to be directing their attention elsewhere when their name came up as they probbaly assumed they would be the 8-9 seed in the South bracket which hadn't been announced yet.

[jaybilaswho?]

was it necessary to put the 'reserved' signs up?

they dont let anyone who is not affiliated with the team in the Annex during the selection show. Who else would have been able to take the tables?

[TallTitan34]

I'm guessing they wanted the players right in front of the CBS cameras and not friends and family front and center.

[Marquette Gyros]

I'm glad somebody else caught this -- where exactly was the Selection Show watching party?

I know that's what happened to me.

I thought it was appropriate based on MU's history.    I know that we had finals reviews in bars, so why not, with the whole world watching, with every other school looking poised and alert, shouldn't MU be sitting in a bar barely paying attention to the brackets?     Classic.   My wife (who by the way STILL has her Indiana schoolgirl crush on the perfect hair of Steve Alford and is therefore conflicted about MU's second round game) commented that it seemed odd compared to the others.   I told her it wasn't odd, it was Marquette being Marquette.

The ones that are over 21 should have been sitting at the bar on stools with the homeless dude on the corner stool..that would have been pimp.

Same here...  I was busy worrying out that we were about to get left out since 3 regions worth of 7-10 seeds had already been mentioned.  Never thought to pay attention to the 6 seeds.
