massive game tonight for Marquette. win and finish OOC play no worse than 8-3. Gives Marquette a good shot at 10-10 to make the tourney. Would have 2-3 OOC Q1 wins most likely, with 2 of those away from home in West Virginia(only need top 50) and Kansas St(only need top 75)- figure both should be but maybe only 1 of those. Lose, and have real chance to finish 7-4 with UCLA on Saturday. For Dec 8, it's about as big of a game as you can have.

Shaka was 5-1 vs Kansas St the last 3 years at Texas.

UConn cannot buy an outside shot right now.

UCONN looks like the better team even without Sanogo and Martin. Hopefully the 3s start going in.

Goaltending

I think Zach Freemantle has come back to form.

So many mistakes by UConn

That possession where they got three offensive rebounds involved two rushed shots that really could have been better. So frustrating to watch.

Damn. UConn did not look like a top-15 team in that second half. Horrible.

So fustrating. I hope Danny takes a ton of heat
