Why are you talking as if the game is over? Marquette is only up 3 with tons of time left.
Like I said, Colorado couldn't get over the hump. Games where you have 2, 3, 4 chances to make a shot to surge ahead late and can't do it, eventually you run out of chances.

I guess someone corrected him. Now he said Joplin was 6th man last yr.

Lol he scored the first bucket of the game. That's a pretty good feat for a sixth man.

Really? I thought both teams played well. That was a really entertaining game.
Me too. Don't understand how anyone could not appreciate the play of both teams.
BTW, does anyone every force Lolek to his right?

Marquette didn’t cover ( -4.5). Except for Adub. Knew it would be shootout, thought Colorado would probably keep it close. Adub knows ball so he alternate spreaded Marquette -1.5 before tip off.

CU missed open shots and put themselves in a bind with the foul situation. And their Coach is Tad Boyle. Great recruiter, average game manager. The path is there for a rested Marquette next week. Not a perfect team. But who is?

We could've done worse than to have hired him. Fortunately, we did better.
Most likely you're right, but it's much easier to win at a Program that had 4 national titles before you got there and almost a dozen on the Women's side. They both have 1 final four and 1 B.E. Tournament championship. Danny will have 2 weeks to separate from the pack.

They said it was Marquette's first Sweet 16 since 2013. I had to look that up, and it turns out the floor slapper never won a game in the NCAAs.

Imagine having your basketball program be so irrelevant that you need to watch a tournament that your team couldn’t make and hang out on a message board of a team you aren’t even in the same conference with?

Big East > Big 12 just like last year

He went to his right on that last hoop…in a complete circle. Then he popped the short one from straight on.

Refs let a ton of contact go uncalled in that game and came back to bite Colorado with so many fouls to give at the end. Blessing and a curse depending on which side of the scoreboard you're on.

This next game is gonna give me agita. I really like Utah State but Edey gets every benefit out there. Utah has enough size that maybe they don't have to overplay too much. I wouldn't try to deviate too much from what they do on defense until he proves they have to. Could be a high scoring affair.

Home.
Like last year in this round. He wasn't near 100%.

BTW, does anyone think this Buffalo Wild Wings commercial is remotely funny? Not even stupid funny, just stupid.

Marquette having trouble with the double digit seeds for a game and a half.

The committee knew they had trouble with double digits and stacked the 1st three rounds against them.
