GOLDEN EAGLES ROLLIN; UCONN/DUKE NEXT

Marquette did it again, this time taking the dribble/attack/offensive pressure right at Michigan and coming up with a convincing 79-65 win. Lots of talk about Marquette’s inexperience but I don’t see it that way. Lazar Hayward, Jimmy Butler, Cubillan and Acker have all been through the Big East battles and taken their fair share of lumps. They’re undersized but here’s the thing about inexperience; lots of teams lost talent and have guys filling new roles, but Buzz’s crew is not some undervalued off the scrap heap pile of junk (all these guys can play).
 
Speaking of strange perceptions: Does anyone else see Duke ranked at 7 and UConn in the teens as being backwards? I think UConn will absolutely wear the Blue Devils out this afternoon at the Garden — that’s why they play the games though so lets watch and enjoy. But it says here UConn just has too much in the backcourt and everywhere else all things being equal.
 
WVU on next vs Texas A&M. GP at CBS had this dead-on piece about the Dev Ebanks situation. Wish I had written it but since I didn’t check it out.
 
 It’s the truth….and that’s okay.
