Marquette Golden Eagles (22-11) vs. Washington Huskies (24-9)

Washington Huskies at Marquette Golden Eagles, Mar 18, 2010 6:50 PM CDT


So ... between the 'Nova and the Officials vs. BobMo handicap match and the BYU - Florida extravaganza and the Notre Dame - Old Dominion rock fight and the Murray State buzzer beater vs. Vandy, the NCAA got all its close games out of the way already, right?

Yeah: I don't believe that, either.

Have your Tums and brandy on hand, cats and kittens, as YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles take on the suddenly frisky Washington Huskies sometime around 6:22 p.m. tonight.

We've linked you to every possible story we could find on the game, we've interviewed a UDub fan, and we even gave you a Queensryche video.  BUT: if you still feel underprepared, your cherry-picked stats and your AE-sanctioned officially unofficial beer are after the jump.

Star-divide

After half-a-day of games, the BIG EAST conference has looked B-A-D, with the Domers collapsing against ODU (and with Gody nearly putting up a goose-egg in his final college game) and with 'Nova needing overtime and several generous assists from the officials to survive Robert Morris.  Now the task falls to YOUR Golden Eagles to defend the honour of our right noble conference.

All the numbers you need to know:

MARQUETTE

Points per game: Lazar Hayward, 18.1 ppg; Jimmy Butler, 14.9 ppg; Darius Johnson-Odom, 12.8 ppg

Rebounds per game: Lazar Hayward, 7.7 rpg; Jimmy Butler, 6.4 ppg; Joe Fulce, 3.2 rpg

Headbands per game: Lazar Hayward, 1.0; Junior Cadougan, 1.0

WASHINGTON

Turnovers per game: Isaiah Thomas, 2.4 topg; Venoy Overton, 2.3 topg; Quincy Pondexter, 1.8 topg

Fouls per game: Venoy Overton, 3.0 fpg; Matthew Bryan-Amaning, 2.8 fpg; Tyreese Breshers, 2.7 fpg

Hyphenated names per game: Matthew Bryan-Amaning, 1.0

Most importantly, your officially unofficial beer for tonight's festivities: Lagunitas Brown Shugga', which I've not been able to find locally in about three months.  Anybody know where they're hiding some reserves?

Enjoy the game, and bring me home a winner.

Good game Marquette. You guys are a beast of a team and that was one hell of a game.

You definitely lived up to your 3 point specialist reputation as everyone in Washington nearly shit their pants watching that last shot almost go in.

by tintin on Mar 18, 2010 9:34 PM CDT reply actions  

Ok second guessing time...

One minute to go tied ball game one of our best players Jimmy has the ball on the wing. Granted he was having a tough night but he takes Quincy to the rack and instead of jump stopping, pump faking and laying it in (up and under) he passes to DJO who let’s the ball bounce out of bounds…ball never touches the hands of Zar. they get the ball force up a bad shot which results in a long rebounded tracked down by their best player. Rather than calling a time out to set up the final play they don’t need to because everyone knows whats going to happen. Quincy is taking it to the rack for the game winning shot and that’s exactly what happened with our players standing and watching as Jimmy is given the impossible task of stopping Quincy one on one. Ball game…MU losses another heartbreaker in the NCAA. The game was at UW’s pace and they were more physcial than we were. We had too many bad possessions down the stretch. I didn’t think UW was tha good of shooting team but we shot the ball just as well as they did so that’s not the difference. And we had our patented streakiness. One minute we look like world beaters and the next we look like a rec league team. But at the end of the day the difference is they had a go-to-guy who they went to when they needed it and our go-to-guy passed it out of bounds rather than making a play

It Hurts like Hell but it was one hell of a ride.

We're not a good shooting team...

but Elston Turner (#31) has been lights out in tournaments (last years NCAA’a, this year’s Pac-10 and NCAA’s). Isaiah Thomas shot way above his head tonight. He’s our best pure shooter, and he lived up to the nickname “Tournament Turner” tonight.

It seems like coaching could be a factor for sure

but UW’s done this multiple times this year. They’ve started slow at the begining of a half and just opened up after the first 5 mintues. They may be the streakiest team in the nation.

I personally think next to Gonzaga, you guys got maybe the shittiest draw in the tourney.

It's true

We can be infuriatingly awful one minute and then go on a run like we did tonight the next. I’m not sure there is a lot to second guess in this game. You guys played great.

agreed...

they had their way with our guards…which is why i said earlier I love mo and cooby and they were a huge part of why we were in the dance to begin with but i’m looking forward to the day where we have guards that can stay infront of their guys. when they blow by us it puts everyone else out of position and leaves wide open shots.

Great game you guys!!

Sorry one of us had to lose because you guys played you asses off tonight and I’m sure had you beat us you would have advanced pretty deep. I’ve always been a fan and now I have even more repesct for you guys. Formidable opponent indeed.
