ESPN team calls Marquette one of great stories in college hoops this year

[bamamarquettefan]

I got this quote down as quickly as I could from the Louisville vs. Syracuse telecast on ESPN.  It may not be word for word, but here is what I got; “Louisville is trying to win to move into a tie with Marquette for 6th place.  Marquette is one of the great stories this year in college basketball.  They have lost five conference games by a total of 11 points … it has been an excruciating year.  But give them credit, they have hung in there and now they have won five games in a row. You have to give Buzz Williams a lot of credit.”

Heard it too.......Just rewound the DVR:

Scott:

Louisville trying to move up into a tie with Marquette for 6th place in the big east.  Marquette one of the great stories in the Big East this year, they are 7-5 but their 5 league losses have been by a total of 11 points.  They have had an excruciating season, but give them credit, they have hung in there lost a lot of terrific players of their team from a year ago, they have one 5 straight games now, to get back in the NCAA tournament picture and credit Buzz Williams for a great coaching job.

Len Elmore followed it up with:
Certainly has done a terrific job with an undersized team that keeps attacking you.

Go MU!

Did Len mention any players who are from NYC?

Glad that people are respecting Buzz's coaching job.

Anyone else hear the story about Len Elmore's proclivity for clogging up toilets? Evidently he is famous for choking bowls across the land.

Thanks, Len.

Your comment fell short of "They could use a tall guy like me on their team."
