[Goose]

I want gravy. This does not happen often...swing for fences.

what are the chances we wear the baby blues

I have a feeling we will be wearing gold and Buzz will have lavender on under his suit for good luck.

I'd love to confuse casual fans with the baby blues though.

Our defense will rattle them and our drivers will put them in foul trouble. they aren't good perimeter shooters either

From your lips....that said they really do block a lot of shots and alter many, many more....Henson has an 88 inch wingspan.....and Zeller is finally injury free and playing like many expected him to play.

we need to stop UNC from running.  Slow the game down like we have for the first 2 games of the NCAA tourney

[HoopsMalone]

This plays perfectly to Buzz's image of a rag tag bunch of guys who order combo meals v. all the pretty boy showcased players. 

He'll get a ton of attention this week and that contrast will be striking if he wants it to be.

DJO wants to send a message to North Carolina his home state.  I hope it's an extremely loud message.

+1  Great point

[MarquetteDano]

I want to enjoy this win now but I must say I am already looking ahead and I am very concerend about their transition offense and our transition defense.  We need to slow the game down.  They like to take a lot of shots, especially of transition.  If they do, we're sunk.

Somehow we have to score some in transition but limit UNC at the transition game.  Guess that's why Buzz makes the big bucks.

Great point Hoops. Buzz will be carving chips on every one of his player's shoulders with an ice pick all week. (Not that they needed more motivation, but you know how things go)

North Carolina has 5 McDonalds All Americans, Marquette has 5 guys that eat at McDonalds.

[HoopsMalone]

haha    Sounds exactly like something Buzz would say.

[4everwarriors]

Combo numbered meals, at that. Thank you Kevin O'Neill

[warriors1991]

Who cares how many McD AA's they have? In the sweet 16 anything can happen. Butler, George Mason, etc., etc., the list goes on.
Buzz is going to play to the HILT we're just some working class dogs who don't belong on the same court with these greats, and the boys are going to play with a ridiculous chip on their shoulder.

[Maryland Warrior]

Who'd a thunk a weekend in Newark could have such joyous potential?!! Supersize!

[mattotz513]

i am just so happy about a sweet 16 appearance, I started Marquette in 05 and i finally get so see this. i am just thankful that we get to play NC instead of the Kansas which we were expected to place.

[mattotz513]

And i wish we wear the baby blues

[warriors1991]

Won't Friday the 24th be almost exactly to the day the 34th anniversary? Whoever knows exactly the date (25th??) please correct me.

[HoopsMalone]

Their fans are not too worried about us:  http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=78&f=1410&t=7340193

Best line I read all night!

We have absolutely no business looking ahead at all, but can you imagine the chip Buzz would have on his shoulders if we got Calipari and his one and done players in the Elite Eight. 

This is going to be fun.  We are likely to go down, but as Buzz says "we're gonna show up."

I lived near Wake Forest for 6 months. They had a bumper sticker "Carolina Blue is past tense for Carolina Sucks!"
