Will be played Saturday at 3 p.m. right here in Hartford, CT and it simply does not get much better than this.
No. 1 vs. No. 4. The reigning national champs vs. the reigning conference champs. A 13-game winning streak on one side, an 8-game winning streak on the other. Two teams that don’t like each other very much in the most passionate conference in college hoops. Two animated coaches, star power on both sides and a chance to put away the Big East regular-season title against the team currently defending it.
This is Don’t get a damn thing done at work today because you can’t think about anything else territory. This is Get in trouble with your spouse because when they’re talking about what’s for dinner tonight, you’re thinking about how to defend Tyler Kolek on a ball screen territory. This is March intensity in mid-February … and this is what it feels like for our program to be all the way BACK.
Last season was absolutely amazing, but so much unfolded on neutral courts across the country — as have this season’s marquee matchups. This is our biggest home game in a long, long time. If you are going: I don’t care what color shirt you are wearing, it’s time to BE LOUD. If you are watching from elsewhere: I don’t care where, it’s time to bust out your big-game mojo vibes.
For all the fans who think the only thing that matters in this sport comes on one Monday night in April, this Saturday in February is why you are wrong. This is about our team making a clear statement that this is the best damn program in the country right now. This is about Marquette walking off the court with an L by their name, looking up at 15,000+ screaming fans letting them know who runs the Big East.
This is big-time college basketball at its best. Let’s go!!!!!!
