Rich Kern The Bofa on the SofaRichKern is showing a loss by Georgetown to an NAIA school. I'm guessing that should be Georgetown College in Kentucky? Don't want that to drag down their Pablo. The loss to Delaware State is bad enough...

Flipping RPI! I hope Wisconsin demolishes Marquette, but Creighton beats Nebraska and hosts, and Marquette gets to take a plane ride or to go be a menace to Purdue for the NCAA tournament. I favor Creighton in the league (KBB is a fellow Bulldog alum), but I don't see Marquette getting a seed without a win over Wisconsin or Kentucky or overcoming their nemesis Creighton, because the rest of the league is letting them down. I don't want Marquette in Madison for the NCAA tournament. Whether Marquette is actually one of the top 16 teams in the country by the end of the season is another discussion entirely (they very well could be).

Interesting that the Freshman of the week wasn't duplicated by Holland from Seton Hall as she was DPOTW.
Maybe the Big East won't let duplicate award winners across the board.

I might be wrong, but I believe that's Creighton's first B1G win since 2016's tournament win against Michigan

Watching Marquette vs Wisconsin was a little painful.
The Badgers are on a whole other level.

Watching Marquette vs Wisconsin was a little painful. The Badgers are on a whole other level. Right, Marquette wasn't bad and still got annihilated. Their blocking scheme was exposed, at least against Hilley, as was serve receive. It was like the flip side of Nebraska's back row dominating Creighton's servers. The good news was that Taylor Wolf continues to make a strong AA candidate with her play against elite teams. Weekly honors were solid. Rastelli was a cinch for OPW, and I thought Wait should've been MVP of the Bluejay Invitational. |
