Lunardi says we are gonna dance!

Obviously meaningless. But I truly thought we would not be on this all year.

So to be listed here on the first in season up date was kinda cool.

Let’s hope it becomes a trend

Long way to go.

Early encouragement and this is where I thought we should be, but there is a lot of basketball to be played before I make my plans for Indianapolis.

I believe, based on this very exciting, totally accurate, and absolutely not premature information, your focus should be on making plans for New Orleans.

Long way to go until we get our spot in the 1 seed.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Lunardi has MU back in the tourney, as one of the last four in.
Still crazy to think this is a bubble team?

When Donna was younger she posed on a Harley in a black bikini. She's seventy now. She grew up in Buffalo and every Christmas she sends me a package of goodies: Horseradish cheese and mustard. I enjoy it every year. And that is what endures. Sharing, and remembering special times. 1977. There were so many good teams that year. The Running Rebels and Univ of San Francisco. And then MU ran into the Tar Heels with Dean Smith and Phil Ford. The four corners. And the game was boring because of it, and then MU got a lead and the crowd cheered because they came to see bb, not stagnation. Butch Lee (who was born in Porto Rico) was the first Latin American born athlete to play in the NBA. He was an All- American in both his junior and senior seasons at Marquette. MVP of that final game. His first name is actually Alfred. He wore #15.

Preseason? 100%. But that's why games aren't played on paper

The stall is what allowed Marquette to win.  Why Dean Smith did it was the biggest gift ever given to Marquette.  Maybe Dean Smith knew it was Al's last game and showed him some class.

I thought they were decided via KenPom predictions.

Dean didn't gift it. He wanted it as much as anyone in that situation. MU played hard defense and stole the ball and got it up the court and scored. They put the pressure on and jumped into the passing lanes--  and maybe the Tar Heels got sloppy and lazy on their passes. They couldn't score and MU took over. Al kicked Dean's butt up and down the street in Atlanta, and everyone one danced.

I was as excited as anyone for Marquette.  I was a Freshman in McCormick that year.
I am just providing an alternate explanation of events.

Oilcan, where's that picture of Donna in the bikini?

I only ask because I wonder which Harley model it was.

Jay Bilas has Marquette at #63 on January 4th before the Providence Game.
63. Marquette Golden Eagles
Shaka Smart immediately raised expectations in Year 1 by pummeling Illinois into submission and beating West Virginia early, but an 0-3 start to Big East play is perhaps a better representation of where this team is. Marquette is very young -- NBA prospect Justin Lewis and longtime reserve wing Greg Elliott are the only current Golden Eagles who received significant minutes on last year's squad. This team may look better on its second trip through the Big East.

This is definitely possible. When is the last time a Marquette team was playing its best basketball at the end of the season? Buzz years is my guess.

Buzz teams.   We always got frustrated early in the year.   Usually in early December, he would mention he hadn't installed the offense yet.

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.
