Marquette a 6 Seed

[warriors1991]

You all had me sooo worried we were going to see Kansas on Saturday I don't even care. I've said it for the last month, we can beat just about anybody except a select few teams. This is outstanding for us. Now gotta take care of BIZZZZZZNESS.

Or......BUZZZZZZZZZZNESS

[Bling]

Pleasantly surprised today.  DIG!

[BaltimoreMC]

This is the 1st time that I can remember where we weren't screwed on our seeding!!!!  I actually think we may have gotten better than we deserved.  NICE GO MU!!!

[ozmetal71]

ND just got in with a 6 seed.

[flash]

I am shocked.  I expected we would get screwed.  Great possible second round matchup with New Mexico..

[patso]

WE drew a tough #11

[Final Four or Bust]

Washington will have huge court advantage -- similar to Stanford in Anaheim

[chapman]

Big East respected by the committee.  1,2,2,3,3,6,6,9.

[Markusquette]

What city are we in and which day?  I missed that part

[Final Four or Bust]

San Jose Thursday

[Friends call me Shaka]

i am there -  just need tix  

[yungmufan20]

Time?

[MarquetteNation]

can't complain about drawing a tough 11 or even playing against a west coast school out in CA.  we could have very easily been an 8 or 9 seed.

[tower912]

Wow.   This is a gift.   Legit shot to make the sweet 16.   It would be more fun to play Bucky to get to   F4.

I'm a student from Sacramento, but unfortunately I didnt want to spend for airfare and am staying in Chicago for break.  

Thankfully, I will be making sure my parents and friends take the three hour drive South. I know we have plenty of alumni in California, we may even be able to outsell Washington!

[NavinRJohnson]

Time?

Find out tomorrow. Obviously won't be before 2:00 or so Central though.

Yup, that's the one thing that sucks.  They will definitely have the home court advantage.  The Bay Area has the third largest alumni base for UW.

After years of playing UW-Madison, I'm just glad we are finally playing the real UW. 

[MU111]

This is great!  I was hoping we'd get screwed on seeding to get out of an 8/9 game but this works even better.

[Muhoops85]

I selected San Jose as one of my sites when I filled out the form we rec'd as season tix holders.  based on my points, I would assume that I will get my tix.  Brother-in-law lives out there so that's why I included that site.  The rest were driving distance so I chose them, too.

Did anyone else who filled out their form get anything other than the normal confirmation?  I want to book my airfare asap.

Also, when we will know the times?

[jtsanto]

Seth Davis has us as a surprise...I agree with him looking at the draw!!! GO MU

[NersEllenson]

Don't know alot about Washington...but...think we got as good of bracket as we could possibly hope for...Is there another 3 seed we would have rather faced other than NM?  I want no part of Baylor, Pitt, or Georgetown.  And if you want to go crazy..WVU would be a nice rematch to get to the Elite 8.  How awesome would it be to face Bucky to go to the Final Four..and beat them?

Hell yes.  It's happening.  Bucky vs. MU for the Final Four.

Pomeroy ratings:

MU: 28th
Washington: 29th
New Mexico: 47th

[Lacrosse218]

Just looking at Washington's ESPN page, I was surprised to see that their best player, Pondexter, is an undersized forward (6'6") like Lazar and their star guard, Thomas, is only listed at 5'9".  I like our chances.

[DJO's Pump Fake]

Hell yes.  It's happening.  Bucky vs. MU for the Final Four.

There is no way Wisconsin gets past Kentucky
