Thanks birth. I was shocked to look back and see our road W's are rather pathetic. Part of that is we have only had really legit road games against Memphis, Pitt, & Louisville. Cuse was just a bad L and wouldn't have been that impressive of a W. Again, what GREAT road win did we have last year? At Vandy early (no one thought that was good). At Michigan, Fairfield, RU, SJU, Hall or Cin. They all stank. I guess you can say at Louisville (who wasn't playing well at the time) and at Nova. Are those really any better than at WVU this year. Road wins are few and far between for just about everyone. dTRAIN Louisville was playing GREAT when we played them. We just played better. They immediately went on a tear.

Louisville was playing GREAT when we played them. We just played better. They immediately went on a tear. I went to look up their record. They were 6-3 in conference, coming off a loss at Nova. They did go on their big run after that, winning 7 BE games in a row. I would argue that they started playing great after that game, but I will concede that that was a better road win than we have now (although I still don't remember being super impressed at the time). Let's beat MU today, and the debate goes away anyway! dTRAIN

I love the comment on their board that we are defensively average.
There are many criticisms that could be made about the Hoyas. That we are defensively average is NOT one of them.
The Marquette community seems to be really up for this game which should make the Bradley Center a tough destination. Fortunately, our players seem to thrive in those environments.

Bilas with no Hoya love today. Hubert also picking the Flu. Digger with the Hoyas? Doesn't bode well for us.

If we win today, I think we'll get a lot of media love back.

Prepare to be annoyed: the Duke-NC State game is taking forever. There were about 30 free throws in the first half, and they've just gotten to halftime. So unless CBS switches away, we are likely to not be able to see the first several minutes or so of the game. Get near the radio!

We don't need the media love, but we do need to get some confidence in the players that they can go to a strange gym and beat a good team, beat pressure and the crowd. Today is the start. GO HOYAS! BEAT THE WARRIORS>

They need to go to a running clock. This is like watching Steve Trachsel pitch.
