Anchante was named HM AA... robbed. She's better than Stucky and Grome (and Podraza) frauds. Stucky over SKT and Anchante is a pretty bold choice if you look strictly at the numbers. Especially since Florida and Marquette went out in the same round. Stucky - 10.76 Assists/Set, Team Hitting %- .272(#19), Team Kills/Set - 13.27(#75) 1.86 Digs/Set, .26 Aces/Set Anchante - 10.78 Assists/set, Team Hitting %- .287(#11), Team Kills/Set - 14.41(#6), 2.75 Digs/set, .33 Aces/Set SKT - 11.30 Assists/set, Team Hitting %- .339(#1), Team Kills/Set - 14.37(#8) 1.81 Digs/Set .18 Aces/Set

Anchante was named HM AA... robbed. She's better than Stucky and Grome (and Podraza) frauds. I don’t know about frauds, but I’d take 6’ Anchante over 5’9 Blossom. Although Blossom absolutely deserved 1st team. I’d for sure take her over anyone else. I bet she gets more recognition next year. BTW, I feel like Coach Theis had a great point in his post game press conference. If Marquette has one or two losses instead of three, there’s a chance they’re a #2 or #3 seed instead of a #4 with a better shot of making the Elite Eight. As San Diego just showed, it’s going to be tough sledding for a mid major to earn a regional host, fair or not (it’s not). As far as the length at pins, there are schools with one or two somewhat undersized pins. Texas has a factory on campus where they churn out physical pins one after another, so I’m not sure they’re the team to compare to in that regard. The crazy thing to me is that they only lost to Wisconsin and Creighton. How much can you improve on that? Beating Creighton for the BEast title might have helped but I’m not convinced. They need to up their non conference schedule a tad and have success there to gain on of those higher seeds. imo

I think Marquette vs Wisconsin at the Fiserv Forum will be a great test for them to see if they can push further than Sweet Sixteen. Bigger crowd, bigger stakes, and an overall better atmosphere to play in will attribute to that. One thing about the Texas vs Marquette game that was different from the past Marquette games was the stadium, smaller endlines and a bunch more people yelling at you, unlike the current Marquette student section which is phenomenal as they mentioned many a times.

The Al McGuire Center is a great facility, imo! The Golden Eagles would probably have won there this fall, and Wisconsin needed an epic rally at the Field House. The biggest thing holding Marquette back at this point is KBB voodoo magic, which I support as a fellow Bulldog alum! Marquette is still very good!

Both games in Creighton went 5 and Marquette swept them at home. The voodoo magic might be wearing off.

This is about to become one sad thread Well, that’s the big issue. The problem is once you find the right person, how do you keep the right person when there’s always a bigger fish out there somewhere. Somebody appears to be making a great hire. I’ll say that.
