MU-Nova for the Big East Championship

[GumbyDamnit!]

Great game in WI today. A lot of fun to watch.

What I’ve learned about Marq is you have to face MH and deny him the ball; Sacar A is much better than I thought; and Theo is dumber than he is tough.

From the Purdue game last year and their 7'4" center Haas......Theo John is the strongest player I have played in college basketball......

No denying he is pretty tough.....No denying he does some pretty dumb things.....

But I like having him "under our basket".....

Because when you play whatever version of "BIG XXXX" those farm boys do not take prisoners.....

Marquette in previous years has been "bullied" in the Big East.....By Mich St.....By Purdue.....By Wisconsin.....By any number of other teams.....

That $tuff does not happen any more......

Retribution in kind......

No I “get” what Theo was trying to do. But there is a fine line between being a physical inside presence and making stupid decisions while trying to act all tough, while you sit on the bench with 5 fouls. He played 16 minutes and fouled out. While on the bench Nova attacks the lane and the basket and turns a 15 point deficit into a lead at one point.

If MU has any chance of making a run in March they do need him in the game. But fouling guys and standing over them like he is some tough guy is a boy’s response when he needs to start acting like a man. His actions hurt you guys on Saturday, not helped.

He and Brian Snow have done this the last couple of years. I haven't made it to the 'Nova part yet. I think I just finished Michigan. I wasn't sure how far down the rankings they would get. I expected for Marquette to be on the list, wasn't sure about VU.

If anyone wants to listen but don't have an hour to spare, Marquette part starts at 46 mins with Nova following immediately.
