"The trick is to win the ones you are supposed to win. I'm talking about Xavier or ones like that, that you're supposed to win"

Al McGuire from Basketball Weekly, January 5, 1978
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

Great quote and we took care of Xavier every time for a long stretch. Al never lost to a cupcake.

Xavier is no longer a cupcake. Their performance the past 10 years shows that.
I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind. Rick Pitino: "You can either complain or adapt."

Friday's game is a toss up. I'm real nervous about it.

I dug up this relic more in the interest of good natured chest thumping, then as serious prognostication.

Of course Xavier is not a cupcake. Regardless the quote was one I never forgot. Beat the teams you should beat and the rest is easy. Xavier will be tough challenge but not long ago they were a real cupcake. FYI--not long ago is relative, to me 30 years ago seems like yesterday.
