Villanova-Marquette played a great game - wow, what a finish.

Too bad 'nova couldn't pull it out.

College hoops is really fun this year!

Got tickets as a Xmas present from the wife.  Made the trip up for my first game and what a game.  The refs sucked in the first half.  Poole and Teske got them to half all square.  Matthews flipped a damn switch in the 2nd half and balled out especially late.  Iggy was not good today.  The finish was awesome.  The wife and daughter had a great time.  Still trying to take all that in.  Great day!

I think confidence matters, for some players.  Matthews!!  Playing with confidence was extremely impressive.  He has to play with confidence or it gets ugly.  Iggy, always confident but not necessarily a pure shooter but competes like no other and he needs to be on the floor.  Teske is probably in between.  He plays hard no matter what but plays best when he has some confidence.  Doesn't have to always be on because of his tough D.  X is at the top of the food chain when it comes to toughness and tenacity.  Not sure he needs confidence since he's always going at 110% and mph.  Poole has confidence galore but a little sporadic.  I love Livers.  Once he breaks out, he's going to be even more fun to watch.

Great win today.  Matthews and Teske were great.  Wisconsin had guys chucking up 3s and they always seemed to fall whereas we missed seemingly every open look.  But the defense was pretty fantastic.  Solid win!!

GO BLUE!!

As much as I loved getting revenge on Wiscy today, it's hard for me to hate those guys.  Ethan Happ is a very good basketball player and very classy.  He helps up or makes an effort to help up opposing guys if he bumps them down.  That's pretty rare.
