Is Marquette going to have the legs to play us tomorrow after all that dancing in the locker room after beating St John’s in overtime?

To be fair both games were dog fights (leg wise)… depth plays a big factor here on out
 
Tomorrow's game against Marquette will be interesting as I think it's our Big's production versus their backcourt production.
Dominate the boards and control Kolek's penetration and kick will be critical. Marquette not very big as we know so I really would not be
surprised to see Shaka play zone more than they like. I have seen them play zone quite a bit more over the 2nd half of the season. Both team's are tough as it is good for the Big East to be represented well come NCAA's in another week.

Both played 9 guys, but Marquette had one over 40 and three over 30. UConn had only Jackson and Hawk over 30.

UConn shouldn't have too much wear.

Jokes aside, UConn has proven tired-ness is over-rated for back to back games. Mental toughness is the key to tournament play. I think the Huskies are back to playing with something to prove.
 
I think Hurley was sitting on Sanogo holding him for the next 2 games with the lead during that comeback he only played a total of 27 minutes yesterday. It was reasonable until it wasn’t. Today comes down to effort and defensive intensity on our part especially on their guards.

Bookies like Marquette here. I think it's 50/50. The PG worries me a bit. Turnovers worry me. Crowd will help. I watched nova game last night and crowd was gone. That won't happen tonite. Who guards Kolek? He is obviously the key. Shut him down and I like our chances. Xavier looked gassed last night. Creighton is a problem for us. Let's see what happens.

Clingan for whatever the reason didn’t have much of an impact against PC. He’s due for a big game.

I think Clingan scored 20 in our loss against them. For some reason things like that seem to matter. Happens often. Here’s hoping!
 
Hard to see how St. John's even got this go to OT, other than FTs, and out-rebounding them by 9. St. John's shot 30%, 33% from 3. They were 20-24 from the line, while Marquette was 9-12.

Start Jackson on Kolek?

Clingan has had two bad game in a row. We need him tonight. He seems to play well against Marquette. hopefully this gets him going.

St Johns was on fire in the first half from three. I think they were 6-12 in the first half, which means they were 2-12 in the 2nd and OT

I'm not surprised they lost. I remember thinking at halftime that there was no way they'd keep up that shooting and it was inevitable that Marquette would come back. SJU's play to send it to OT was really good though, get Posh going downhill and set a quiet backscreen on his man to create the open layup
 
BET attendance has been unmatched so far. The 1st round sessions were sold out, let alone yesterday afternoon's quarterfinal session (which I believe was also sold out).

I was watching the game in my office on FoxSports with headphones, but It seemed that the atmosphere for UConn/Providence was electric, which beg the questions of how many "home" fans did St. Johns have and how many tickets were left to support a team all the way from Wisconsin?

Marquette will presumably have a harder time feeding off the crowd tonight than UConn.

He just needs to slow down a bit, and he can learn from Adama in that respect. It seems like whenever he gets the ball he’s in a rush and doesn’t use his fundamentals to finish a layup/dunk. He got burned a couple times by Ben Gold last game, but he should be able to dominate him in the post.

What’s crazy is that St Johns missed a number of point blank layups in the second half. As in pregame warmup layup line gimme’s.

St Johns could've and should've won that game.

That last 19 seconds in regulation, down by one with the. ball, I thought they had it in the bag. Call timeout and run a play? No go 1 on 3 and lose the possession.
 
I like either Marquette moneyline (+150 last night) or us -3.5.

DK has a promo with 33% boost on live CBB bets this weekend, good opportunity there too.
 
The key is shutting down Prosper. He doesn't play well and Marquette has serious issues. Hope Karaban can outplay him tomorrow. That IMO is the key matchup tomorrow.

UConn is the only team to beat Marquette by more than five points this year. I think this will be a battle.

I was surprised at how many Marquette fans were there yesterday. They traveled pretty well and we're pretty good fans. I convinced the Marquette fans sitting next to us to root for the Huskies against Providence, but the rest were clearly cheering for PC.
 
Against other teams Kolek can usually find the open man left alone. Against UCONN it's not that simple. I'd be happy if he's forced to be the primary scorer tonight,

If you bet the Marquette money line, you root against UConn in order to make a profit.

This is why I rarely bet on sports and never on a game where I have a rooting interest in one of the teams. I'm way to emotional.
