In the words of Aunt Linda, "don't get too excited." Marquette didn't even make the NCAA tournament last year.
What does not making the tournament last year have to do with this win? Funny, you posted how much you enjoyed a couple of Uconn fans’ providing post game “gems” reveling in that win but Marquettes should be downplayed because Texas is weak?
I was responding to a suggestion that Duffy is a hot commodity on the verge of being hired away. The mediocrity of last year's Marquette team is obviously germane to that point.
I hope Gonzaga pulls this out. They're a great program and it'd be a big win for them.
Looks like it's happening!
Not really. TN should win, but I hope they aren't hanging this banner alongside the "portal champs".
Outrebounded also by about 20. And Van Lith (UN)shot 5 for 20.
Not often that I'm at a lost for words.I kid you not I see some of their fans have that in their twitter bio
Ok, so @UcMiami posted that Marquette may not be able to retain Duffy which usually a coach needs a few years of dominance and/or a great NCAA run, neither of which Duffy has had. You then postulated that Marquette is a ”veteran team“ intimating they are seasoned and have demonstrated this skill in the past-they haven’t, they lost by 10 in the 3rd RD in the WNIT to powerhouse Toledo at home. So maybe “veteran intonation” means something entirely else to you that means upper class man who have not achieved success yet.
So when a coach has been at a school for 31 years (20 as HC) as Flannery has at Creighton one sort of assumes he is established and not going somewhere new. It is his program, he is anchored to the community, unless someone puts a horses head in his bed, he aint going anywhere.
I don’t think Gonzaga is a bad loss at all. The Zags are probably a top 30 team and Louisville is not as good as they’ve been in past years.
Look at it this way, we didn't have Paige, Ice and Caroline only played 4 minutes. I call that an impressive win regardless who played or didn't play for Texas.
