SI - Glockner on Bubble

IN THE MIX

Marquette (18-11, 9-7; RPI: 53, SOS: 30)
That's all it took? I just needed to show up and your luck instantly turns? Had you mentioned this 15 months ago, there would have been a lot less stress. After winning at UConn in OT and pasting Providence, TBW continues to trend exactly as Bubble Watch expected. Can it close out another 11-7 campaign by taking out Cincy in a bubble battle and then winning at Seton Hall?
GW: at UConn, plus a trio of good home league wins (WV, ND, Syracuse).
BL: None, but 11 of them.

He also has us and Cincinnati listed as 10 seeds in his pool.  And also has BYU as a number one seed (which makes me think this is the year for a #1 to get knocked off).  So take it for what it's worth.

Why does he refer to us as "TBW?"

Team Bubble Watch.

Started last year in the 3 road OT win stretch.

BYU is a solid team. Shutting down Jimmer Fredette is the key to beating them. If someone can do that, then there is a good chance that they might fall early.

Even shutting him down though hasn't proved to be a for sure thing.  His shooting percentage vs. SDSU this weekend was horrible.  But even when he can't shoot, he just keeps shooting.  Making sure they are 1 and done each trip down I think would make a big difference

A similar story by the same dude:  Marquette getting used to grueling life on the bubble

[Henry Sugar]

I love that Glockner, for some strange reason, has adopted Marquette as one of his teams.  However, here is to vacating the position as #TBW next year.

so they DO practice FT's!

[Skatastrophy]

Speaking of practicing FTs, I was surprised that when Keno got T'd up at the end of the Providence game that Buzz called Fulce off of the bench to shoot the free throws.  I wouldn't have guessed that Fulce was the guy that Buzz considers the gutsiest on the team.  That's quite the compliment for a guy that ends up missing practice time and not playing much because of his knee!

Fulce is perfect for the year on FTs.  11-11.  Eat that, Novak.

Buzz has also said several times that Fulce is the best shooter on the team.

Not only was I surprised...I didn't know that was legal! You can bring guys from the bench to shoot technicals? Since when?

I see him and Broeker exchanging tweets back and forth lately.

Best shooter and dunker - man makes you think about what could have been. Damn knees all to hell.

He certainly seems to have free reign to launch away while he's on the court. 

[Clam Crowder]

Like that silky smooth airball against PC

[GGGG]

He was brought off the bench according to Stat Sheet.  He subbed in at 13:18...the same time as the free throws.  Maybe they allow him in if he is already at the scorer's table?
