Marquette 80, Villanova 76

Annnnnd the 2010 Cardiac Arrest Tour rolls on.

Behind an NBA JAM "Oh my, he's on fire!"-level performance from Darius Johnson-Odom, Marquette snuck out of Madison Square Garden with an 80-76 upset of Villanova and the impossibly well-groomed Jay Wright.  As per usual, the outcome wasn't decided until the final seconds of the game, when Lazar Hayward persuaded two free throws to find the bottom of the net.  With the win, Marquette advances to the semifinals of the Big East tournament for the second time.

The beat moves on to the suddenly rejuvenated Georgetown Hoyas, who smacked the Syracuse Orange in the mouth in the opener of the afternoon's festivities.  All those backdoor cuts are going to be murder on the Eagles' tired legs, but, whatever -- that's tomorrow's problem.  The tip is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. tomorrow, so you can enjoy your beer in the comfort of your own home, instead of covertly at your desk.  And for those of you in New York, 'Cuse's early exit means there should be plenty of fine seats available.

Quickly, onto the award section:

Most Valuable Player: Goes to all of you who stopped by the Game Thread.  We're 1-0 with your participation.  If you come back for every game, we won't lose again for five years.  That's just science.

Joe Chapman Unsung Hero Award: Goes to David Cubillan, who's somehow put up back-to-back double-digit scoring games in his last BEast tourney. 

The SpongeBob SquarePants "Get that Guy a Squeegee" Award: Goes to Coach Buzz.  Easy on the suits there, coach.  That's imported silk.  You can't be sweating through silk like that.

Til tomorrow: RING OUT AHOYA.

Great Win

I’m gonna be dead by the time I’m 40 because of this team.

These have been...

the two least productive days of my largely unproductive career. Can’t wait for the game tomorrow night – should be a good one.

Thread of jubilation

Or exhaustion, take your pick.

I root for the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings and yes, the Lions.

If tomorrow's game is anything like the last two

(and it will be) forget beer, I’m cracking a new bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel Whiskey.

As both a Marquette Fan (alumni)

and an Iowa fan (home state), this year has been absolutely horrible for my heart… but so damn fun. Lets keep it rolling in this tourney and the next!

FInally

I have access! Thank you Jay Wright for being more concerned about his shopping in NYC rather than watching game tape.

From a Villanova fan

Congrats on the win! You guys are by a long mile the most likable team remaining in the Big East Tournament and I hope you guys can take down Georgetown then take the Big East title!

Proudly supporting a Flyers team with "no honor".

We Are Marquette

Great to see a win today, and even better that my Golden Eagles finally have a blog of their own. Let’s hope for a great game tomorrow, and many years to come from this blog.

Heh.

Anybody else notice that the Record widget on the sidebar is giving us two wins for every BEast tourney victory? We started with 20, now we’re up to 24. I like it.
