Blue Jays go down

[MarquetteDano]

It was great to see my first home game since March 1991.  Much more fun when 98% of the fans are with you then against you.  An electric crowd that was a near sell out.  Great to see old friends for a pre-game "warmup."

I saw the last MU game at the Mecca and the first MU game at Bradley Center and now the last at the Bradley.  My older kid is telling me I need to fly out next fall for the first home game in the new digs.

Interesting how student season tickets are handled differently than when I was a student.  Will save for an offseason topic.

Hate to be Debbie Downer but you might not have scene the last game at the Bradley Center.  Let's hope you truly have scene the last game at the BC.

This could be wrong but I thought if there's an NIT home game someone told me it would be played at the Al, don't quote me on that though

Definitely.  The Big East was probably the most evenly matched power conference this year.  Nova and X were clearly the top two, but the remaining 8 were a rugby scrum in terms of relative competitiveness.

A one game difference separates the 3rd place finisher from the 7th place finisher. We beat both the 3rd and 4th place teams twice and split with the 5th place team and lost twice to the 6th place team. Cannot get any more even than that. Our track record in the BET is not good so I would be happy with 1-1 and shocked if we were chosen on selection Sunday. I hope we can play in Dayton.

I think it would depend on scheduling with the bucks. My guess is that they would want to be at the BC

Just did a review of all possible scheduling.  Marquette would have no conflict playing any one of 3 possible home NIT games in the BMO BC.  The only possible conflict would be a third round game on 3/21 when the Bucks are in town that day.  The NIT website indicates that 3rd round games will take place on both the 20th and 21st so MU's request for a 20th slot could be easily accommodated.  IF Marquette wants the BC, it'll be available.  Let's hope we don't have to find out.

Blue Jays Forum -  fan lines


"Wojo owns Mac."

"Playing Marquette, the fans, and the refs at this point. Officiating is laughable."

"If there's anybody in the league who whines more than Rowsey, I've yet to see him. And he always looks to me like he's wearing makeup."

"Jays will lose. Marquette shot out of their asses in the second half, including some circus shots. Refs sucked. But still the Jays had chances. Mac's game management was very poor. Playing Clement at the end of the half was inexplicable. And riding Hegner when he can't shoot, rebound, or defend, is even stranger."

"Guy is making 30 footers. There is no defense for that."

"What can you do with that fukking shot? The guy throws up garbage and it goes in. He's a one-trick pony...you should just face guard him for 90 ft."

"These motherfers always shoot lights out against us....."

"Let's try not guarding Rowsey and see what happens. Or put four guys on him, but I don't think it would matter."

"What the fukk zebras !?  Khyri was fouled by Hauser. And you gave mellon-head a timeout?!"

"God dammit...we are our own worst enemy sometimes. These guys are NOT better than us. They just have 2 guys that hit "fukk you" threes against us every game. I wish we could for once play the Marquette that shows up against DePaul. No, we have to get the 30 ft jacking, 65% from 3 version of this team."

"In our entire history we had played MU more than anyone else except for Drake. I think they have beaten us more than any other team. They have a great program"

Extremely well said!  :-)

Saw this on Twitter - a clip of what Markus said right before he sank the free throws that put the game out of reach for Creighton.  Can I say I just love this kid?:

That's fantastic.

(I would like to know what he would have said if he had any heart, though.)

Awesome.   But lacks heart
