Women in Big East Championship

[MUMonster03]

Good luck to the Women's team tonight in their bid to win the regular season and Big East Tournament Championship!

Hopefully the men can take some inspiration from how the women have recovered from a lackluster finish to the regular season, starting 12-0 and then trading wins and losses, and can make a run to Saturday.

The finish would have likely been a bit different if Davenport hadn't been lost to an ACL injury in the Butler game - pretty sure they win that game if she doesn't get hurt in that game - think seeing that and hearing her reaction to the injury was mentally tough for the team.  Now the Creighton game was just an awful showing - not sure what happened there so don't think the Davenport injury made a difference there.  But it has been good to see them put things together beating Providence in the last regular season game when they were down another starter (Danielle King got hurt at Creighton and didn't play at Providence) and that game clinched the outright BE regular season title.  And their showing so far in the BET has been great - kudos to Hiedeman and Blockton for really stepping it up in the BET.

Tonight I think they need a big game from either VanKleunen or Spingola if they are going to win - they will need contributions from the bench - DePaul hasn't lost since Marquette beat them in Chicago on Feb. 3rd and is playing very well.

Go Marquette!!!

Lax Bros showed up for the game.  Very cool.

And they are very loud - that's awesome.

Things are much better at this point in the game than they were last year in the BET final.

Go Marquette!!!

40-35. Halftime.

[Marquette Fan]

Nice end to the half but a long way's to go.  Marquette really needs to get some three pointers to fall.

[TallTitan34]

Marquette with a quick run of points. Up 46-35. 8:50 left in third.

And now they're trying to fall apart .  DePaul on a big run and it's down to a 3 point lead - 52-49 with 3:02 to go in the third quarter.

What amazing they had a game at MOON TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania in the afternoon. As, I type this Lisa on FS1 just said it.

Nice fast breaks near the end of the third quarter.  Let's go Marquette - close this one out!!!

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

FTs are brutal. Would be up double digits with decent percentage. But it is a fun game to watch!

[TallTitan34]

65-60 and shooting two after media timeout. 5 to go.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Seems like DePaul either making 3s or layups. MU 40% FY line. Ugh. Yet up 4. Go figure.

This has been an absolute helluva game.  Perfectly fitting for MU-DePaul round 3

[LloydsLegs]

Zoiks.  Air ball ft.  Oh well, nomatta. 

[SaveOD238]

Women's NCAA has the stupid advance the ball on a timeout rule, like the NBA? Gross.  I hope that doesn't come to men's.

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Just brutal. sigh
