Wow what a finish by Marquette. Down 6 with 1:10 left to go. Great job in the clutch.

Butler vs Marquette (Big East Preview)
I'm taking Creighton over Cincinnati today. Cincy can't throw the ball in the ocean - especially from the free throw line. Who are you going to pick in a close game - the team that shoots 75% from the one (Creighton) or the team that shoots 65% (Cincy)? The team that shoots 42% from 3 (Creighton) or the team that shoots 31 (Cincy)%? BTW, Creighton also defends the 3 really well (31%).
I'm also taking Villanova over North Carolina. This is another poor free throw shooting team, very atypical of North Carolina teams. It doesn't help that McAdoo has a bulging disk and his scoring production is down the past 5 games. Georgetown has show the ability to come up with big wins when they need them (Georgetown, Marquette). I think they'll get another one here.
Georgetown vs FGU. Who? Need we say more? Could be a good day for the Big East.
I didn't expect Butler to get past Bucknell, so I don't see them beating Marquette tomorrow.Don't see this as Butler's year. It will certainly be an interesting preview of the new Big East.

Me neither, but I had Davidson beating Marquette and Bucknell, so what do I know

Looks like we can post no less than a .500 record. Not bad but I expected so much more. Georgetown totally shot down my theory.
