Host Toledo in Thursday's Sweet 16 Contest.

Megan Duffy's Warriors keep moving onwards in WNIT.

Marquette advances to WNIT Sweet 16 behind Van Kleunen’s career-high 27 points

“Can we just talk about Lauren Van Kleunen? I mean wow. She carried us from when we tipped that ball,” graduate student guard Karissa McLaughlin said. “I think she’s the storyline for today.” Behind Van Kleunen’s career-high 27 points the Marquette women’s basketball team punched its ticket to...

OMG, are UConn fans and ND fans rooting for the same team?

Heavens forbid there's mutual ground.
For me, it's primarily this: Megan Duffy.

Are you her agent?

She’s as feisty as a coach as she was as a player.

Are you her agent?

Gosh, I wish.
Just a fellow ND alum and fan who admired her as a player and watched her progress in the coaching ranks.

I know. Just kidding of course. You mention her a lot for good reason. I like her too. I thought her team deserved an NCAA bid ahead of DePaul but Marquette didn't have the likely NFOY.

Marquette also didn't have a win over Kentucky. They played two meaningful nonconference games, against Georgia and Colorado, and got routed in both.

Marquette did show improvement in conference play, but not enough to make up for their OOC nothing sandwich, and they still finished 5th behind DePaul.

Anyway here's a nice article about Marquette being the last Wisconsin team still in postseason play. Van Kleunen had an amazing game vs. Purdue, with 27 points and 11 rebounds.

College hoops in Wisconsin isn't over yet. The Marquette women are in the third round of the WNIT.

The Golden Eagles beat Purdue at the Al McGuire Center and get another home game against Toledo in the third round on Thursday.

Boston College blew a 17-point lead and loses to Colombia 54-51. Court storming.

Ivy League humbles another Power 5 opponent

Columbia trailed by 17 in this game but came storming back to take the lead in the final seconds to send Boston College back home with a loss.

Columbia will next face Seton Hall, who won a tough game against Drexel.

I guess my point is that Marquette was the better team at the end of the season as evidenced by the NET quarterfinal game. Maybe Marquette didn’t belong, but neither did DePaul. I think we know there was a Morrow effect.

lol@ the event security participating in the storming.

Very Genteel.

lol@ the event security participating in the storming.

If you saw the broadcast on ESPN3, you could see that some of the security guys formed a partial human chain to prevent folks in the near stands from storming the court. In the meantime, fans from the far side just flooded the court anyway LOL.

We forget when we say ... only one team ends the year with a win - there are two tournaments and a chance for the also ran programs to have a shot at a crown.

Columbia sports have been pretty dreadful and WCBB hasn't made any noise in a long while - third winning season since 1987 - and they pushed Princeton hard in the Ivy this year.

This young coach of Columbia has a very bright future. We might as well learn her name now. It's Megan Griffith.

That last trap by Patrick and Davis on Swartz won it. BC had a one pt lead with :12 on the clock and the ball and bam! Possesion lost. Game over. Swartz heck of a year. Her weak point is ball handling against a good defender. Patrick is a monster and Kaitlyn Davis timed the trap perfectly. Then they teamed up to execute the winning basket on the other end.
Columbia executed perfectly in the final seconds and grabbed the win.

Vintage BC. They did the same with NC this year and NC St. Had huge 2nd half leads. BC looked beaten after halftime. Looked like they were hoping to cruise through until they found out it’s not going down that way. Give BC credit for playing the tourney. They were the first the team out in NCAAT. Some teams would have not even played. BC couldn’t match up with Kaitlyn Davis and Jaida Patrick and that includes Taylor Soule. They had some big collisions that didn’t go Soules way
BC missed the scoring of Makayla Dickens who entered the portal

Curtains for Marquette as well. They lose a high-scoring, back-and-forth shootout with Toledo.

The Rockets end the game on a 15-4 run to steal the win.

Toledo advances to face Middle Tennessee in the quarterfinals.

UCLA vs Wyoming was quite a game. It was close all the way and went to 3OT.

UCLA tied it at 62-62 with 1.9 seconds left in the first overtime. Wyoming had a turnover on the subsequent inbound, sending the game to double overtime.

UCLA tied the second overtime when Osborne was fouled attempting a 3 pointer and made all 3 free throws.

Final was UCLA 82, Wyoming 81 in 3OT. Quite a game!

New Mexico was torching Oregon St. at the half (44 pts, 9-19 behind the arc), but cooled off in the 2nd half. OSU won 78-73. Mack and von Oelhoffen did most of the scoring.

Sorry y'all, I couldn't follow the later games of the WNIT because I was too busy watching my Cougs destroy Arizona in the men's S16
