–One of the main things working to our advantage is the fact that Marquette played last night. As we’ve already seen twice today from Villanova and WVU, the teams who played yesterday got out to a slow start. Sure Georgetown played very well, but some of that 25-2 lead they jumped out to was a product of ‘Nova’s fatigue. Since Marquette played in the late game last night, it’s an even better advantage.
–I’m not sure how to exploit Marquette main weakness, but they definitely have one. I’m pretty sure it involves an Indian rowing in the opposite direction of the way the man in a robe is pointing.
–I have a good feeling that Dixon and his staff worked hard thinking of ways to take advantage of the fact that Big East Defensive Player of the Year Jerel McNeal is sitting out. If they didn’t, well shame on them.
–Who does the Big East think they’re going to fool by saying the game will start at 9:00? The WVU-Louisville game would need to go at record speed to start on time. Chances are we’ll see a tipoff at around 9:25.
time to break out the booze!!!!!!!
I caught about 2 minutes of the local ‘burg Fox sports radio this afternoon and Tim Benz referenced an interview with Bill Hilgrove from earlier in the day, and Hilgrove said when he asked Dixon about the zone, he said “We’re a man-to-man team.”
By the way, you have been doing an awesome job since you started over here. Keep it up.
I\’m a regular Deadspin reader, I just usually don\’t get around to reading the day\’s posts until this time of night.
Thanks for pointing that out, otherwise I would have looked like a stupid thief. My buddy is going to have to suffer a verbal beat down from me (if I\’m not too sad and tired to wake up and do it if Pitt loses).
