Big East Big Five: Week 7
We return to the Big Five this week as Big East conference play begins. As such, we will make a slight adjustment to how we select the games going forward. Since we will see the number of games cut in half with teams playing each other instead of playing teams outside the conference, we will start...

At this point, you probably know the gritty details of what happened to YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles in last night's disheartening 67-59 loss to Louisiana State. If you don't, I can summarize things for you briefly: Marquette jumped out to a 13-0 lead three minutes into the game, put its tail...
Your Post-Game Dejection Thread: LSU 67, No. 10/10 Marquette 59

In case you were concerned that YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles might've been distracted by the sights and sounds of beautiful St. Thomas or flummoxed by playing in front of a crowd of 800 in a tiny Caribbean gym, those fears were put to rest early tonight: MU outgunned and outran Ole Miss from the...
Auburn Basketball Sets Sights Higher
It's all about baby steps for Tony Barbee in his second year as Auburn basketball coach. At least that's what the SEC media believes. On Monday, Auburn was picked to finish 10th in the SEC this upcoming season. That's two spots higher than a year ago when the Tigers were picked dead last. Before...

Sincerity In The Wake of Sarcasm And Satire
