Or he's just screwing with Pitino.

Nice touch Danny.

Well, admit it, we all pretty much picked Marquette too before the game.

He shot 45% from 3 in Big East play last year so yes as a matter of fact I do

Great, I’m happy you can learn everything from your spreadsheet

This was the best game we've played all season. I know there were a ton of turnovers but it didn't matter, the outcome never really seemed in doubt from the first few minutes. Especially when Solo answered every single Marquette run in the 2nd half

Anyone wandered over to see what Marquette fans are saying? I'm imagining they're upset about the refs.

I watched it at a bar, no sound. We were kicking the ball all over the place but we were also making plays all over the place. I started watching score and time worried we would somehow blow it away. Every time we wre blowing it away Solo was banging a three. That dude is really *freaking good.

Final stats- from the articles we had 25 turnovers and that's what they were saying on the broadcast. That sounded like it might be approaching an all-time record for us. That's an absurd amount of turnovers.

Hass is beaten up to shreds and Aidan was treating the ball like it was covered in lava in the first half...

I would love to know the actual # of turnovers because we did treat the rock like it tumbled down from Vesuvius.

To win a game like that with a gimpy shell of himself Hass, without Liam on the road in Milwaukee...

I might be thinking we can still do some serious damage...I don't know...

I thought everyone showed a little something tonight and Solo was just a superstar.

We were so spoiled at the C position with Sanogo and Clingan the last couple years, I dont think we appreciate how good we actually have it with Samson and Reed, especially now that they've tamped down on the fouling. Most teams would kill for such a versatile tandem of centers.

We have the players to make serious noise, Twisted Sisters noise.

We just need Liam back. We miss so much without him out there but Solo has become an 18 ppg game guy every night. Jaylin and Ross have taken lots of lumps but they've shown more than they ever have before...

We were beaten up tonight from a team health point but not in terms of confidence. We had that game from the jump and dominated most of that game on the road. I think we saw a lot of sprinkings of what we can be when healthy.
