Carlton Christian got the Kevin Menard treatment.
Though, as a good a kid as he seemed, I'm not sure there was any other way to treat Menard.

No, Kevin Menard got the Krunti Hester treatment.

So you don't think pressing with 3-4 minutes to go was a bit overkill today? Besides the fact I don't think its a very classy move, which if thats how you want to do things you can but what comes around goes around. However wouldn't you want to rest your starters for the rest of the tourney? What good does it have them running around when its not necessary or to get them hurt.

Despite what some people are saying in this thread.  We did rest our starters a LOT in this game.  At least compared to usual.  Watching the game, Buzz took out all his starters as soon as Norm took out his starters.

I think that's fair.

As for pressing.  That's just how we play.  I don't think the guys would know how to play D if Buzz told them to do something else.  Another thing to keep in mind on defense, is that the previous 5 games (including Gtown - despite the fact we won), Marquette was absolutely getting torched on defense.  I'm sure buzz wanted to get that corrected.

That said, I can understand why you'd be frustrated with the moves (starters/press).  Marquette has been on the receiving end of several blowouts, and I'm never happy that the other team just keeps coming at us.

Wasn't Carlton C the first guy to say "Coach, I'm leaving after the season."  so Crean didn't play him.  -- Although I do remember him getting in to the game vs. SMU up in Green Bay.

.. Menard, afaik .. didn't drop the bomb during the season, did he?
