Sat 12/21 BE Game Thread (7 Games)

Alabama got Stained by the Stain Train! Wow. I can't count how many times I almost turned the game off. First 3/4 of game was painful. Nice team effort. Let's go Marquette!

Bama went without a FG for over 9 minutes in the second half as Farr found his touch and the intensity cranked up.

X survives two late chucked 3's with made FT's to secure the V.

Good day overall for the conference.

Loved the toughness X showed when things weren't going their way.

Wow, the Irish about to blow a lead of Seton Hall proportions against OSU....

Blown lead completed.

Nice half for Marquette up 7 although probably can't expect them to shoot 61% from the field in the second half.

Proud of how X battled back and won that game. Better yet, we actually hit our free throws down the stretch. Glad we could add one to the Big East win column for the day!

It is so much fun to watch Big East teams all day. My wife is so happy I have time to watch all of "our teams" playing on a national stage". I am waiting for Marquette to finish this good (hopefully great ) day off. Seriously, for us in Omaha to be a part of this vs. the MVC ( which we liked) is a dream come true. Hoping we can add to the count tomorrow night in a tough game against Cal.

The three programs that joined this conference have certainly done their parts legitimizing this league. Other than Villanova, that's your story the first half of this season:

Come on Marquette, stop sucking.

Marquette- good, bad, good, bad. Need something good to happen now or they're going to lose.
