I think ND and Providence are essentially playing a BET qualification game. ND should beat DePaul at home (SHOULD), and Marquette will likely beat Providence at home on Saturday. So tomorrow night will likely decide who ends up in the inevitable 6-10 tiebreaker and who ends up with 5 wins, sitting at home.

Go Friars?

Won't be an upset, since L'ville is favored - but I like your prediction anyway!

TV for Marquette-Louisville?

Also, second-to-last chance for the rest of the A-10 to get a win over GW. UNCC gets the last chance at the Smith Center this weekend.

WG and Bonnies tied at 23 with roughly 7 to play in the liftoff half.

I hate ESPNZone. They were supposed to be showing Lville-Marq, but when I got there they were having "technical difficulties." booooooooo.

Although if this untelevised game was supposed to play at ESPNZone, it makes me somewhat more hopeful for the USF game. Perhaps they have games for which they have the broadcast rights, even if they don't put them on full court.

L'ville up 31-21, 2:30 left 1st half. Dean hasn't done much, but it doesn't look like Marquette is shooting anything close to average yet in this game.

My guess is that the ESPNZone "technical difficulties" = they realized the game is not on ESPN Full Court.

Go Cardinals!

[jerseyhoya34]

Cards by 5 at the half.

[GIGAFAN99]

31-26 'Ville at half.

Come on Cards, this is for your Big East Tournament life.

and our extra day off!!!

[younghoya32]

As Duke comes back against FSU, 'Ville extends there lead to 9...go cards

[jerseyhoya34]

Ville stretches again to 9 with 7 to go.
WG leads by 1 with 10 play.
Duke holding on to a 5 point lead.
SJU/Nova & ND/Provy are close enough to watch.

[younghoya32]

This is a great night of college hoops, who would have guessed....IT'S MARCH!!!

[jerseyhoya34]

Louisville has shot 35 3Pters already. That's awful basketball. They lead by 5 with 2 and a half to play.

[jerseyhoya34]

Louisville by 4 with 1:46 to play. Louisville has possession. It is coming down to the wire.

[younghoya32]

:19 left 'ville up 3

[SFOHoya]

[Joe Hoya]

CARDINALS CHOKE

Following along on Yahoo Gamechannel, I thought Louisville held on for a second.

Thank you, Chad Millard, whoever you are.
