Can familiar surroundings in Newark help the Warriors?

Having just played there and staying in the same hotel should help them relax

I don't think it can hurt that's for sure. I think it will help some. I mean it's always nice to play in an arena you've played in before just recently and last season.

I assume they leave tomorrow?

This team didn't play in Newark recently - there were some imposters who showed up wearing their uniforms.
Let's hope they remember more from the post-game meeting than they do from the stinkeroo they put out there during the game.

New Jersey is Big East territory, especially considering it's at Seton Hall's arena, so wouldn't the crowd be pretty pro-Marquette?  In addition to cheering for the underdog?

I'd assume OSU and UK fans would cheer for Marquette as well, as they would see it as an easier opponent.  UK would probably like to get some revenge as well.

I think the crowd will definitely be in our favor.  We're the early game too, so all the OSU and UK fans should be around, at least for the 2nd half.  UNC fans travel well, but so do UK and OSU and they'll gobble up as many tickets as possible.  This has got to be the toughest ticket of all the sites this weekend, and everyone but the limited number of UNC fans will be pulling for MU.
