If I were making a generic player for Marquette for a video game, that's what I would name them.

UConn's whole way of winning is just punking another team, overwhelming them beyond what they're capable of. That got them to #1 in the nation. If they get disrupted from that kind of play, flaws start to get exposed.

I noticed in the rafters of the XL Center, there still are banners for the Hartford Whalers. I loved that old Adams Division.

Guess we see why Vegas has all those big shiny buildings.

I actually wore a Nordiques ski hat today.

Raftery tonight sounds hoarse. He better take care of himself, cuz he's a legend.

Wonder how much longer Raft will be doing games. I hadn't realized he was getting set to turn 80 necessarily. When he retires, who is the next top color guy for Fox?

Of current FS1 guys, I like Tarik Turner, but i think Donnie Marshall is next in line. They could also grab Casey Jacobsen from the studio. Good question.

St John's is auditioning tonight for their spot in the Big 12, lol.

They do seem to be pushing Jim Jackson some- he partners with Gus on the weekends and in the BET.

Ball was way over the Butler players hands, clock shouldn’t have started till it hit Soriano’s hands, Johnnies got ROBBED!! How does the Hinkle shot clock operator continue to cheat and not get punished? How can the refs not look at that? WTF?

JJ's decent, but give me Donnie Marshall. That guy knows the game and doesn't ramble so much. Fox's people are sooooo much better than ESPN's.
