Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Marquette didn’t look last night like they’ll be a threat to Villanova. As long as Ponds is healthy, St John’s is a threat to upset Xavier. I expect X to pull it out, but this could be another exciting game.

The second half was proof positive that you need a deep bench. The Red Storm stalled as they lost all their energy.

But, if you just consider the first half, it was very exciting. The refs swallowed the whistle and 2 squads balled it for an honest 20 minutes. Great hoops!
