The first big time Big East matchup is the in the books for Marquette as they knocked off 22. Notre Dame in South Bend last night 71-64 which was one of the Golden Eagles strongest performances to date.
-I will lead off with what was the biggest thing of the game. Marquette held Notre Dame to 36% shooting on the road which is incredible. That is just overall great team defense. I mean they were going to let Shrek score as many points as possible and no one else scored, just great game plane.
-I think despite being undersized, they are a very tough team and Jay Bilas made this point; they can get to the lane so well they hurt themselves when they shot quick threes. Thats a good point and I understand they want to push the ball as much as possible.
-Speaking of Shrek (Harangoody) was like a high school girls basketball player last night just throwing shit up at the hoop and see if it goes in, the crazy thing it was. Shrek is nothing but a fat ass cheerleader who needs to sit down.
-Kyle McAlarney was shut down by multiple defenders but overall Dominic James and Maurice Acker shut him down. He couldnt get a good shot to save his soul and when the Irish were starting to make their run, I felt like he was going to hit a big shot but no sir.
-Speaking of Mo Acker, he is the most valuable 6th man that doesnt score. He is a game changing because not only can he defend but he can also assist in pushing the ball up the court. He has been a key player in the last couple of weeks
-Jerel McNeal is playing like the first team Big East player right now and might be the Player of the Year so far. He is doing it all right now; shooting from the outside, slashing the lane, and holding down the top defenders.
-I thoroughly enjoy watching Big Monday because of Bill Raftery, Jay Bilas, and Dan Schulman, its like music to my ears. Also Bilas is a big time supporter of the Marquette Golden Eagles.
-Just so all you know, I had about three-five floor slaps last night during the intense parts of the second half of the game.
-Charlie.

I feel sorry for myself that I wasn't with you so I could witness those nice floor slaps.
