I agree Sweet Sixteen. My point was, with essentially an eight man team, do we risk fatigue from a three day-four day marathon for BE hardware? If we have a nice seeding based on regular season play, is it necessary to risk the fatigue of our iron five starters?

I don't worry about 18-22 year olds being so fatigued from 3 straight days of basketball that they won't be recovered 5 or 6 days later

 Butler and Creighton suck. Should be 20 point wins

Marquette steals one at Creighton in OT 106-104.

Howard with 53. The only Div 1 player to go for multiple 50 pt games in the last 20 years. Impressive.

What an awful way to lose a game. Good for Marquette and probably the BE. Howard and ponds will go back and forth all year.

If a conference regular season championship is the goal we need Nova to start losing. Hopefully it starts on Saturday in Omaha. We need these next 2 at home to stay in the upper 1/3.

For all those who think McDermott is a coaching genius, Creighton blew a 5 pt lead in last 5 seconds of regulation.

Full court inbounds pass thrown out of bounds, when they could have handed the ball to a Marquette player under the basket and still won the game with 8 tenths of a second on the clock.

Exactly, because five seconds defines a career.

Big time standings implications tomorrow afternoon between Providence@GTown. A loss for either really puts one in a hole.

If you haven't made it out to Hinkle for a Saturday afternoon tip yet, put it on your wish list, it doesn't get better. Butler is down this year, but the crowd will keep them in it:

They might be sold out but the snow could be a major factor as it will be snowing for at least 12 hours before tip off--we can hope!

DePaul completes the season sweep of SHU and moves to 3rd place in the conference. College basketball is weird

Take a Midol. It helps with the mood swings and also bloating.
