MU- UConn

Well.....there you go. Pretty entertaining game, Marquette proved that you can come back from the dead at least 10 times in a game. I dont think I've seen a game that streaky in quite a while. MU did a lot of proof work on how you can shoot yourself out of and back into and then back out of games.

No surprise that Thabeet had 15 rebounds or that MU was out-rebounded by 19. However, if you'd have told me this game was getting to the 170+ total, I would have thought MU win. But between Price being mostly unconscious and Robinson having 57 dunks and the general size difference, too much to overcome. Jimmy Butler had some nice minutes, although he looks inept on offense.....unless he gets that sweet broken defense drive in the lane.

News of the game is DJames out indefinitely, sounding more like the season. I dont like the dude, but you have to feel for a guy thats started for 4 years and now probably wont get to play the tourney with his best team. This of course exposes MU's lack of depth even further, as now they are down to 6 guys who play with any regularity. Props to Dickie V for pointing out the non-existence of David Cubillan - probably dont have a choice now but to lay him.

Next 2 games looking even worse now without James. ugh. Boo-urns.

Plumlee side note. Good God. Good to see that Duke will be set on mouth breathers well into the next decade. Check out that goofy looking grill on Mason.
