That is a heartwarming story to hear that the butler eventually rose to become head of the company. Only in America. 8-)

I heard he did it in the kitchen with a lead pipe.

Marquette looking great against a tired Butler team. Butler looks it after playing in the last 10 days games vs Nova, @ Georgetown, @ Creighton, and Xavier. Marquette only in that same span with games @ Nova, Seton Hall, and on Saturday the beatdown of DePaul. It's showing.

This would be a huge win for Marquette, put them on the right side of the bubble...

Back to the comment about X playing ugly and rebounding and fouling a lot, that is precisely the strategy to beat the Jays. In a foul fest, the refs will be inclined to keep the calls reasonably on par, and the Jays cannot afford to have a lot of fouls called. We lose one starter (especially Watson, Patton or Thomas), and we are in serious trouble. I love our team, but we are not deep, and if the whistle blows a lot, that would most likely be good for X.

Hard to tell if it's actually Creighton fans but looks like a decent ammount of Creighton Blue so far in the stands.
