Bluejays have our first steak dinner after two cupcakes.
Here's a few tidbits:
1. Series tied 5-5
2. We ruined their season last year with an 80-51 gut punch in Omaha. Phil Martelli, always good for a quote:
"We thought we were pretty good, and we got it handed to us from the jump ball,” Martelli said. “It put us on a psychological rocker that we never really recovered from. None of us responded well to that, but that was last year’s team and last year’s game.”
3. They have a raucus crowd
4. They got dissed by the Big East
5. Our President, Father Lannon, was a longtime president at St. Joe, and helped continue their basketball focus--he was there during their #1 ranking. (Fr. Lannon graduated from Creighton in the 1970s when CU had Eddie Sutton, was a national power and had a good rivalry with Al McGuire at Marquette... he's a huge fan of the game and is the #1 reason we're in the Big East.)
The Big East is Dead! Long Live the Big East!
