My euphoria comes from winning without having Liam and with HD being pretty much a non factor because he was injured.  I came into this game thinking not having two of our best ball handlers against one of the better defensive teams in the country was a recipe for disaster.  I came into this game thinking of our away game at Xavier, which isn't as good as Marquette particularly on the defensive end, and HD was healthier.

So count me in as one who is over the moon with this game.  As far as despair, I started this season with Hurley's pre season comments so my anticipation was muted.  Not the comments of the 3 peat.  The comments that the only position he was confident in was the center position.  He had concerns about the younger players.  And he had major concerns about the point guard position.

Two years ago we only needed to fix one position.  Last season there was no weakness.  This season is a major overhaul season.  I'm not focusing on the failures.  I'm enjoying the improvements our players and team are making.  Anything that happens positively with our record, our ranking, our postseason play is icing on the cake for me.
