Tame those dawgs!

They're not looking real sharp so far but there's still time - they trail 22-18 after the first quarter.

Go Marquette!

Marquette Fan · « **Reply #4 on:** March 04, 2018, 12:47:26 PM »

They had a little better second quarter but it's still way closer than it should be. Marquette holds a slim 33-32 lead at halftime. Marquette needs this game to avoid the dreaded 8/9 seed in the NCAA Tournament - Go Marquette!!!

If Markus Howard has a sister, the women's team cam use her! Looking good for them now. Butler must be exhausted trying to run with them.

73-61 win.

Survive and advance - it was ugly but they live to play another day. They'll take on the winner of Creighton-St. John's tomorrow at 3P Central on FS1. They split with Creighton (blew a game at home they should have won versus them) and swept St. John's with a close escape in OT at home.

A heck of a game by Amani Wilborn today - 26 points on 9-11 shooting from the field including 4 of 6 from 3 point range (she's not usually a great 3 point shooter) and she added 5 assists and 6 rebounds with only 1 turnover.

Wow those are amazing stats! Glad we could get the win and advance.

Great run to end the game - I believe we finished on a 19-6 run.

Congrats to the ladies!

24 RPI right now with a solid resume. Maybe with a run can get a 5 seed or better.

jsglow · « **Reply #11 on:** March 04, 2018, 08:04:44 PM »

I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect a second weekend tourney run.

With no good non-conference wins and with the Big East not being very strong this year, I think 6 is about the best they get - maybe a 5 but that might be pushing it. They are projected as a 7 now and I was afraid they'd drop to an 8/9 if they lost today so glad to see them get it together and win that one.

Up by six at the half, BTW.

That ought to disqualify anyone from being a sports commentator.

Cray-in's hitting some deep 3s, though.

They are a great 3 point shooting team. I sure wish Marquette could put this one away soon but I'm guessing it will be a close one right down to the wire. Go Marquette!!!

Have been following every now and then throughout the season. Blockton is something else and this team is fun to watch! Considering making the trip down to Chicago tomorrow if/when they win this one.

Marquette Fan · « **Reply #23 on:** March 05, 2018, 04:23:17 PM »

I felt much better with a 12 point lead - Creighton can score in a hurry - the slim 59-55 lead heading into the 4th quarter makes me very nervous.

Just got home turned it on. Saw CU up 4 getting some easy buckets. Tied now.
