A couple upsets in Big Ten women's hoops today: Michigan knocks off #12 Minnesota 76-60, while Rutgers goes on the road and takes down #4 Maryland 73-65.
 
Not going to be many easy games the rest of the way.

This is going to be a wild playoffs. Legitimately any team in either conference could make the SB.

I was not very high on Keion early on in spite of his lofty status. Over the last summer into this year he has really taken his game to another level. I was very wrong on him.

Doesn't Romeo have a rather substantial thread already?

Kept the turnovers down 

He's not needing to score 25-30/game this year with this team. He does a lot more this team than score. This is the best TEAM in the league...so fun to watch and have the #1 ranked D in the league. 7 players in double figures tonight and Oladipo wasn't even one of them...that's SCARY! This team is only going to get better when they start getting the new players a little more integrated too. Bring on the Playoffs already!

Cathedral advances to the semis of the Bob Wettig Classic with a 73-55 win over Greensburg.  Franklin with 20 pts. on 9-15 FG; 0-3 on 3's; 2-4 FT; 5 reb; 1 asst; 3 stls; 1 TO.  They'll face the winner of Portage vs. Richmond at 1:00.
Why is officiating always an issue?  In the 1st Q, they called 14 fouls - 7 apiece, and put 2 players from each team on the bench with 2 fouls.  In the 2nd Q, they called 3 fouls, then back to 8 in the 3rd Q.  Franklin got a tech on a breakaway tomahawk slam that even the announcers had no clue as to why.  He didn't hang on the rim; didn't showboat but got T'd anyway.  He is a shot creator and handled the ball well on the dribble.  

Like I've said before, from what I've heard is that TJD and Keion were being recruited as if Romeo was returning (Romeo being the one telling them he'd come back to play with them). We also wouldn't have to have any transfers with De'Ron graduating early this year as well.

The three biggest issues that I think NBA teams will have with Romeo in no specific order are his shooting issues both from 3pt and the FT line, his defense, and his ball handling which is kind of loose at times and could be a problem at the next level.

I know this may be unpopular but I actually think Jackson Davis will be more impactful than Morgan (and I love Morgan) in some ways from the beginning.
I am going to use an IU soccer comparison that I think fits perfectly. In 2016 IU had Tanner Thompson who like Morgan was a 3* player and one of the best ever to play as a senior but as much as he developed into stardom there were still some physical limitations he had. In 2017 enter 5* Freshman Griffin Dorsey as a replacement. While he was not as polished as Thompson there were things he could do to impact a game even as a freshman with his speed and physical gifts that Thompson could never do. This year as a sophomore Dorsey developed into arguably the second best player on the team behind Andrew Gutman.
I think things will be quite similar to what happens with Jackson Davis. He will make more mistakes than Morgan as a freshman but there will be things he can do with his talent and physical gifts Morgan cannot much like Dorsey and Romeo this year (there are just some freakish things 5* players can do that 3* cannot). Than by Jackson Davis' sophomore year if he stays a second year he will be one of the best players on team if not the best.   

I'm thrilled that 3 buses are at capacity so far!

What a deal! 

It's time to make Pony a major player again! 

Nike. Easily

Outside of my love for Juwan Morgan (tough as nails, intelligent on and off the court, driven, humble, hard working, etc) and his effort and success against Jacksonville, the one thing that really started to hit home for me was that Al Durham is still only a sophomore.  For some reason, and I can't put a finger on that reason, I seem to forget he's still an underclassman.  I do think his improvement from year one to year two (thus far) has been impressive.  I'm excited to see this kid continue to develop.  I will be the first to admit that when he arrived on campus I was not expecting him to have the role he does, and he deserves the time he's getting without question.  What a pleasant surprise in that class.

I thought last year, based on his performance in a few games, he had a high ceiling. My biggest question was whether he could develop his jump shot. I think he answered that .

Talking to one of the assistants,  the feeling is mutual!

Can be improved. He can block and alter shots and can be a great rebounder. Has potential to really impact the game.

Colts are on fire despite a terrible start to today's game.  Luck is playing as well as I've ever seen him play.  I really hope they make these playoffs!
I agree with the earlier comment on Hooker.  I know he got that last interception, but it was a terrible throw.  The wide receiver was 5 yards from the ball.  Because he was out of position, he got the pick.  We need help on the corners and beyond.
That said, we're playing great ball over the last 9 games.  We're peaking at the right time.  That matters in the playoffs.  Go Saints!

Complete lack of respect for other people's opinion. That's all you need to know about a man. Don't believe he is much of an asset or ambassador. Thank goodness he has no influence on any of these kids deciding where they go to school. Last thing, he has chastised anyone who criticized Meyer or Alford. Definitely not someone I want representing my University!

Yes I am over 35 and just because you do nice things for people doesn’t give you the right to be a complete a-hole.

It just makes us look better come March. The better Marquette is the better we look.
