2 Dominican Friars (white robes, rosary beads) sat a row behind us. They were as passionate and pugnacious as other Providence fans.
Gesturing toward me, to protest a foul against Providence, one said: “Ball don’t lie, but Jesuits do.”
Welcome to the Big East.

Can’t appreciate enough how Marquette has ascended in the Big East over the past 2 seasons.
MU is 36-10 (.783) against Big East foes, with 1 conference title, 1 BET title and 2 trips to the BET final.
Bigger goals ahead, of course. Can’t wait. Buckle up.

For more than a year, Shaka has assured us that David Joplin would break out in a big way. Did he ever today: 28 points, 10-14 shooting, 8-11 on threes, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block. Call it a turning point in the Marquette career of Mr. Joplin.

Shook their hands after the final buzzer. Great guys. What an absolute pleasure.

Worth repeating: Really good week for Marquette
#mubb
Marquette survives at Madison Square Garden as Daniss Jenkins' 3 at the buzzer doesn't fall. Golden Eagles didn't make a 3 the entire first half and then missed free throws in the final minute -- but still win. Tyler Kolek with 15 and 11 assists. Really good week for Marquette.

Justin Lewis had a great stat line and hit big shots. What else is impressive? After committing 6 turnovers in Madison, he had 1 turnover in Manhattan. Great rebound.

Let’s recap:
- After shooting 3-for-20 on threes in the first half, Marquette goes 6-for-11 on threes in the second half.
- Six turnovers forced after halftime
- 18 offensive rebounds for the game
#mubb
Three-part plan for the second half:
1) Shoot better than 15% on threes.
2) Continue to force lots of turnovers (12 Creighton TOs so far.
3) Continue to clean up on the glass (9 offensive rebounds so far).
