First off, this was a huge win by the Hoyas. I was at the Bradley Center this afternoon. That was one TOUGH place for a visitor. Marquette and its fans put out their maximum effort today, and the Hoyas overcame it. Not the prettiest game I've ever seen, but the Hoyas showed a tremendous amount of heart.
Thanks also to FreeNachos, Gold Hoya, and the Chicago Club for putting together a truly memorable road trip to Milwaukee. I can think of few sporting experiences that top brats (and beer) at 10 am in Kenosha's world famous Brat Stop; followed by cheese curds (and beer) at the equally famous Mars Cheese Castle; AND a Hoya overtime victory.
Hoya Saxa!

The GU crowd inside the Bradley Center was small. Interest on the MU side for this game was huge; I heard that the scalped price was over $100. That being said, I saw probably in excess of 200 Hoyas there, both in the crowd and at the Wisconsin Club party at the game. [By the way, thanks also to the Wisconsin Club -- great hosts].
We were up in the rafters, intermingled with MU fans. It was hard to make our presence heard. However, given the noise in the arena, it would have been hard for a space shuttle to make its presence heard.
MU fans were gracious. [Besides the dopes behind me bitching about every call]. Great experience and a great win.

Thanks for the report, C86! Sounds like the Chicago/Milwaukee Hoyas provided a little slice of Hoya Heaven yesterday! Not to mention the culinary delights! ;D

I heard a small contingent of Georgetown fans up in the 400's sort of behind the Marquette bench.
I was with some family friends who are Marquette season ticket holders. I had to be more restrained than usual since they couldn't bring themselves to cheer against Marquette, but when JWall hit that 3 in OT I still jumped up and started screaming!

Brats, beer, cheese, and an overtime win always make for a fun road tip.
I only wish I knew beforehand why that bus was going to be a $300 cheaper than the rest.
Go Hoyas! Thanks to Goldhoya, the GU Club of Wisconsin, and the 46 people who came out for the day. Good times!
