Off the Marq

The Maniac's firt thing to be thankful for? That he wasn't actually IN Vegas this holiday weekend. If you are scoring at home, yesterday's 0-fer brings the season record to a respectable, yet dissappointing 13-10-1.

While I may have been off the mark, the Marquette Warriors certainly were not. Yesterday they closed out Xavier down the stretch and today they handled Michigan and Manny Harris easily from opening to closing buzzer. Marquette is athletic and quick and a little bigger than they were last year. Their outstanding trio of guards are gone, but this team appears to be built a little more tourney ready than lay years highly touted squad.

With the early play of them, Cincinnati, Villanova and Syracuse it is becoming harder and harder to argue the Big East is not again the nation's premier conference.
