Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Marquette at #8 Xavier (-7), 6:30PM

DePaul at Georgetown (-3.5), 8:45PM
TV: FS1- Rich Ackerman & Tarik Turner

Was it mentioned X won the double revenge game?

Wasn't even a contest. I turned it off when the net replacement delay occurred. Gawd that took forever.

X is a solid # 2 in the league, maybe even a chance for # 1 depending on how Booth's injury affects Nova. 3-7 still has the makings of a jumbled mess!

ugh BS ending. Refs get the out of bounds call wrong even after going to the monitors. Then game winner hit after the depaul player pushes off to free himself. We played like crap, but still. You hate to lose on consecutive bad calls.

Shouldn't have come down to that call. Needed to box out and hold on to that rebound. Like the fight to come back from that huge deficit.

Marquette defense is the worst that I've seen. It's amazing that the offense is good enough to carry them in most games. Marshall did a great job on Rousey last night and made him a non factor.

Yeah defense to this Marquette team, is something to pretend to do, to kill time. Until they get the ball back, so they can shoot another 3.

Howard is a great player, but Rowsey is a ball-hog, pure and simple. Once he gets the ball the other 4 Marquette players are effectively just fighting for rebounds.

On defense we make up for our lack of height, length, and athletic ability with laziness and stupidity. Also Howard and Rowsey do not complement each other offensively, and are the two worst defenders on the team.
