Big East Tournament...the other one!

[muwarrior69]

Are there any DePaul folks there? At least they can cheer their women on.

Women are around 35 in the rpi.  With some really nice wins.  They r solidy in the field prolly 7-9 range.  With a 5-6 possible with a BE title.  Not bad for a predominantly underclassman lineup

ESPN bracketology had them at an 8 the last few weeks but moved them to a 7 this morning.  It would be great to avoid a 1 seed on their home court as the top 16 teams host in the first and second round.

Outside of senior Yentz it has been pretty much the sophomores with playing time of late.  Junior Shantelle Valentine's pt has diminished lately.  The team wanted to get Yentz to the NCAA Tourney for the first time and they will achieve that goal.

For those of us who haven't paid attention this season, do the women have a chance at an at-large bid if they lose tomorrow?  Or does their season come down to this?  Either way, great to have them playing well too!

Absolutely they do.

I'll be watching on FS1 here in Jersey.

Welcome to the party, boys.

I am chuckling at some of these posts. If you had paid a scintilla of attention this year, you would have already known most of this stuff.  Actually, a walking boot is an upgrade for Coach Kieger. She was zooming around on a knee scooter earlier in the year.

Maybe next season you will start following them a little earlier. They aren't bad for a bunch of girls.

I'll be there tomorrow with my hoops-loving, 11 year old daughter. Her second MU ladies game this year, my first ever. She's pumped. Watched the game tonight and I have to say I'm pumped too!

The game @DePaul was one of the best games I've watched. 102-101 OT thriller. Both fan bases packed the place. Really excited about the state of the Marquette Basketball program!

+1. This group has been great and Coach Kieger has done an incredible job turning things around. I wish they were appreciated more.

Yep - think of what this board would be like if Wojo was in the BEast Tourney finals with the starters being all freshmen and sophomores.

Marquette basketball overall has been great this year

So, I have to choose between viewing the MU women or the UWM men in their tourney champ games.  Tough call!  I think I'll go with the faster paced, more athletic, better brand of basketball... The ladies win!

[oldwarrior81]

the second game against DePaul was the afternoon after the guys played Xavier on NMD.
With a similar start. 
The ladies scored 21 points in the first 4 minutes of the game.

I think UWM is 6 and women at 8.

You are a big fan of Coach Peters, no?

Gee, how did I know that could get you to show up after disappearing for weeks?




Must be nice to never make mistakes.

If I'm not mistaken, DePaul has two or three top players back that weren't around when we played them the first two times. Hopefully the home court advantage can bridge the gap. Would be an incredible accomplishment to win the tourney. Getting to the championship is very admirable given the youth of the team.

bringing my family of 4 tonight, lets hope The Al is full and they bring home the 'ship

Mistake? What the hell is that?

You are certainly not uncertain about that certainty.
