Marquette vs Nova tipping off at 2:30 this afternoon

 

[HooperScooper]

Watching. Very good game so far. 43-40 Marquette at the half after a buzzer beating layup by Kolek. It's been very close almost the entire half.

Nova hot early from 3. They got into trouble a few times due to being on road. Driving to nowhere with no plan. Sped up. Led to turnovers and Marquette took the lead. Ighodaro has been good.

Marquette getting bullied on the boards this half.
Nova will give us fits Saturday, they space well and prioritize the three, which we struggle slightly to guard. Still see nothing out of Armstrong, but am definitely worried about the Dixon matchup nightmare

 

[MJKI]

Marquette immediately with a run there. Good answer from Kolek and crew

 

[How Sway?!]

If Nova misses the tournament, Neptune is gone right?

 

[Bazz4A]

Don’t think it’s a lock he’s gone if he misses the tournament

We do quite well in limited three point attempts. Getting to the rim, though...

I would assume so. He can't coach and his recruiting stinks.

Big win for CCSU over Merrimack. They were the 2 remaining undefeated teams left in the conference. Would love to see Sellers take them to the tourney

I like seeing other Connecticut teams making the Big Dance.

Fairfield stumbled badly against Niagara on Friday night to end its 9-game win streak and then turned it around and shredded Canisius on Sunday. Not the best weekend for a road trip to Buffalo.

Dalton Knecht putting on a show on ESPN2 for TN versus the Gators. 22 first half points scoring in all ways including 3-3 from three. Kids a player, stud.

Playing only two opponents outside the Top 200 has Xavier with a respectable 45 NET rating despite an 8-8 record.

Butler is destroying them, you always nail it with your predictions!

Might've been a bit of a hot take.

Xavier was on pace for 113 points at the under 8 timeout, but cooled off the last minute or two.

Here comes that answering run from Butler.
