12 Quinnipiac vs 5 Marquette

Darn, QU getting close to losing the lead they've had the entire game. Too bad - Marquette underestimated them and deserves to lose.
 
Marquette has closed to 3 after being down around 18! Still over 6 minutes. Hang in there, bracket!
 
I must admit, I'm just learning this for the first time. It seems I'd always heard it pronounced as a paroxytone.
Very, very rare in English to have a word end in three unstressed syllables. I'm having a nerd moment :oops:
It's not English, it's a a Native American word.

The guard missed the open shooter. Cmon, Q, hold it together.
 
You know the Quinnipiac coach's heart must be racing at 150 bpm right now!

And Michelle is STILL mispronouncing it after Rebecca said, "If they win this one, people outside Connecticut will learn that it's QUIN-eh-pee-ac, not quin-eh-PEE-ac."
I saw that. I thought she was just messin' with Rebecca. They do that a lot. Did you hear Michelle accuse Andy of stealing Rebecca's notes after he said Rebecca was his mentor?

The Q is up 16-4 with 4:20 left in the first quarter. :)

The announcers are calling the Bobcats Quin-eh-PEE-ac. It's QUIN-eh-pee-ac.
I KNOW! It is sooooo annoying. You would think Rebecca would have corrected them and the others! I am not sure I want them to win just so I won't have to hear it pronounced incorrectly any more....
