They get criticized fairly at times, but the staff's game plan and team's execution on defense tonight was great. Simon shut down Strus and the roving zone with Ponds took Depaul out of their element. Offensively everyone got involved and we made Depaul play the game we wanted.
We are officially dancing and I don't think it's in Dayton (which we probably would have been had we lost). We are playing for seeding now and it would be so nice to get to a Friday night game, especially against Georgetown which you know the league is rooting for. Ewing/Mullin on a Friday night of the BET would be unbelievable.
Really happy for the staff and kids. They got the job done tonight. Us fans should show up in droves tomorrow night to root for these kids to beat Marquette again.
