...February 10, 1979.

#9 Marquette 71, #5 Louisville 55

And two Top 10 teams have NEVER met at the BC.

I find it hard to believe that of all the NCAA Tournament games that have been held at the BC that none ever included a Top 10 matchup...

Not from what I can tell, mainly because the Bradley Center has never hosted anything other than the first and second rounds. We've had match-ups of 2 ranked teams during the tourney, just never 2 top 10 teams.

Feb 15, 2003 was close. #2 Louisville vs #11 MU

Wow, 30 years! That Lville team won it all the next year. MU was a three seed out West, losing to DePaul in the Sweet 16. DePaul finished third (they played a consolation game back then). That was the Magic vs. Bird Championship year.

When's the last time MU played 3 top 10 teams in a week (might even be 3 top 5 teams), as they will do starting Wednesday?

When's the last time anyone played 3 top 10 teams in a week?

I'm not positive about the exact rankings at the time, but Rutgers went through a stretch earlier this year facing: UNC, Pitt, Uconn, and MU all within about a week to a week and a half.

WE ARE MARQUETTE!!!

That's right. UNC, UConn, and Pitt were over a span of 7 days for Rutgers and were ranked 1-2-3.

And it will happen on Wednesday - Polls are out now, UConn #2, MU #10

February 10th 1979 was the day I was born. That has to be good luck for us right?

Unless that means February 25th 2009 is the day that I day. Crap

That's a lie. It is impossible for Marquette and DePaul to be successful at the same time!

Thanks General. That is an awesome tidbit. I have a couple friends going to their first MU game on Wednesday and emailed them that. I have a feeling that the BC will be the loudest it has ever been!

I AM PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!

Even more importanat than Erin Andrews at the BC, does anybody know for sure if she will be wearing a thong?

Sadly, the thong will be in Madison that night watching on TV. The thong likes to watch games on the floor.
