there IS an easy answer to the "problem"....

Expand by 2 and then you have everything fixed.....

(ok, ducking for cover)....

C'mon guys, Marquette is the best 3pt shooting team in the COUNTRY, not just the conference. It's not even close...

[Hall2012]

I could be wrong here, but maybe an extra 7 hours of rest (to at least get close to a full day) could have helped St. John's get the energy to at least guard somebody...

It's obvious they just don't have the legs, and it doesn't help that Nova appears to have come out fired up.

Villanova certainly deserves credit for where the score's at right now. I do think the extremely short rest for SJU is a factor though. Nova's been running circles around them.

A big factor. Villanova hasn't scored 100+ in forever.

This is my first time seeing Marquette's new starting lineup. I think Woj made the correct call...

[Hall2012]

I guess nobody told Seton Hall that Marquette shoots the 3 pretty well? How many times are they gonna get a wide open look off the exact same play?

Didn't look like much but Luke Fischer was clearly in a lot of pain. Dislocated shoulder maybe? I'm not doctor but it's my best guess.

He's had two surgeries on that shoulder. Weird tugs and such are bound to be painful

[Omaha1]

He walked off OK. Hopefully it was just a stinger. Pirates really getting it going though in the second half.

[Hall2012]

Glad to see Fischer back in the game! Tough guy.

Marquette doesn't play like this against us. Seton Hall sure looks like the tougher team and could cause nova some trouble tomorrow if they keep it up.
