Conference Tourney --- We're Due

[NCMUFan]

In 2002 TC got MU to the CONFUSA Tourney finals (shocker we lost to Cinci).  It capped a nice ten year stretch where MU usually won a few rounds and even messed around in some championship games (96, 97, 02).  Then UAB happend, then TCU happened (TWICE!!).

From 2003-2017 we went 10-15.  Considering you can only lose once and you can win as many as 5 games a year, THAT'S NOT GOOD.

Rare highlights:

2008 2-1, beat ND and played on Friday night in the Garden 
2010 2-1, As a 5 seed played on Friday night in the Garden losing to 8 seed Georgetown
2011 2-1, We were the 11 seed so we played on Tuesday, beat 14 seed PC, 6 seed West Va (commonly thought as the game that made us dance and lost on Thursday to 3 seeded Louisville

That's it.  3 times we've gone 2-1. 

So I know I say this every year but WE ARE DUE.

Beat DePaul!

I agree Marquette has played exceptionally poor in the Big East tournament.  Maybe earlier there were many more east coast schools than Midwest.  But now that is not true.  One thing in a tournament though, there is as many losses as their are wins.  After the first round of the NCAA, half the teams go home.  Also, you have to play two games and win a game just to go 500.  You play once and loose, you are 000.  They don't give you a second chance to get to 500.  Also, unless you win the tournament, and that is only one team, you are guaranteed a loss.  There are no guarantees of a win!  In any case, get fired up MU! More work to be done!

2-10 all time in Big East quarterfinals.
