Who are you rooting for, Final 4 version

This is a good, quick read that shows how important Gonzaga Basketball was to the university. They were barely keeping their heads above water and then they go to an elite 8, Few becomes coach, rest is history.

I'm hoping Gonzaga pulls it out. But I'm just looking forward to seeing some good games.

Thank you for this.  On the Marquette Parents Facebook page, a lot of parents have been grousing lately about the attention given to the basketball program, including a couple of folks who were livid that the players got great dorm rooms and didn't have to go through the housing lottery "just because they can dribble a basketball".  I posted your article there.  It will be interesting to see the feedback I get.

Did you ask them what their child is going to do in the next four years to earn the university millions of dollars?

Something to that affect.  But since I am on the Parent's Board, I have to watch my rhetoric a little bit.  Fortunately, I have a friend who is also a Marquette parent who has a major IDGAF attitude in general.  When I have a particularly good zinger, I give it to her and she posts it.

I hope they finish.

Lots of baby Gonzaga's running around?

Good one, but I believe the line is, he took it out.  #seinfeld

If I was the guy that had South Carolina gear shipped to Rhode Island, I'd also get this map made into a shirt and/or poster. Major superfan cred.

[BM1090]

South Carolina over UNC so I can place in my bracket and get some money.

Heart says Gonzaga over Oregon.

Gonzaga
South Carolina
Oregon
UNC

That order.

[4everwarriors]

I hope they finish.

Solid dame. Now you're gettin' yo hands rapped 'round dis game, hey?

[Earl Tatum]

Like others---South Carolina, just to place and have a brew

[AZMarqfan]

Go Bulldogs!!!

[GooooMarquette]

I hope they finish.

That would be more fulfilling....

[Warriors4ever]

Why would people in Iowa be buying Oregon gear?
Gotta root for Gonzaga.  Jesuit school and they have the the guy from Poland.

[willie warrior]

Hope wojo is watching south Carolina play. He needs plenty of pointers on coaching defense.

[brewcity77]

That was fun. South Carolina was really tough. Just a great game.

[nyg]

The former Burger boys, Williams-Goss and Collins were outstanding.  Collins is going to make some serious NBA money one day.  Great game.

Love the McHale drop step in the first half.

Karnowski gets poked in the eye and no foul. Explain that to me.

[brewcity77]

Uh oh, don't let Wisconsin know that UNC used "Jump Around", they'll try to sue for copyright infringement.

[wadesworld]

Karnowski gets poked in the eye and no foul. Explain that to me.

It happens all the time. I'd bet getting poked in the eye goes without a foul call more often than with a foul call. Refs aren't usually watching a single finger making contact with the opponent away from where 99.9% of contact happens.

Yep.  Incidental contact on a clean block. 

[brewcity77]

Are you kidding me? UNC misses four FTs and then goes all Seton Hall v Marquette on the glass?

Fun fact, the over under was 153...final score 153. Vegas cleaned up.
