Big East Tournament

It's time to win a conference tournament. Marquette has not won one since the 2002 Conference USA tournament when they beat Louisville and Houston before losing to Cincy in the final. Grrrrrrr, that one still hurts. After playing two terrific games against Cincy, Marquette laid an egg in a game I drove 6 hours to. My predictions, win against St. John's, loss to Pittsburgh. It's too bad MU did not have the 7 seed. A first round game with Providence, followed by a second round game against Louisville. I don't like the idea of playing Pittsburgh again 5 days later, after beating them twice this season. I would rather play Louisville again.

As for the NCAA tournament, this is a great site to see the different brackets matched up against each other. Right now, MU would play Virginia Commonwealth with a match up of Tennessee in the second round. I like MU's odds in both of those games.

Spring Training has started which is really nice to see. One lady was even making fun of the Cubs because of all the money they spent after the White Sox big win. Jason Marquis looked good today. One guy that didn't, was Mark Prior yesterday. As was brought up with Steve Stone and Boers and Bernstien, is what happens if Prior can't pitch? Does he really go to the Minor Leagues? Something to ponder.
