Wojo's unranked Marquette Golden Eagles team just beat #7 Creighton in a high-scoring affair, 102-94. 7 players scored in double figures for Marquette. Congrats, Wojo! Many people are following Collins in the other thread, but all of the other former Duke assistants are off to strong starts this season as well. Marquette has had a pretty tough early schedule and have been under the radar a bit. Maybe this win will give them a bit of momentum.
Thanks for starting this thread, even a day late. Maybe we can discuss Wojo's team here, instead of the Northwestern thread!
It's worth noting this was Creighton's first game without (arguably) their best player, who's done for the season. Not trying to bring the mood down, but it's possible the win doesn't look as good in March as would be inferred from their current ranking.
Big game tomorrow, Nova at Home. Thrilled to see Wojo slapping the Floor again.
Wojo and the Warriors take down #1 'Nova 74-72!
WOW! Go Wojo!
I'm seeing an early round matchup that the NCAA won't be able to resist!
With K out and Capel's record not stellar, Wojo and Collins making sure their hats are in the ring. Classic.
Arizona isn't doing too poorly, either. But yeah, nice wins. Go, Wojo!
I watched part of the 2nd half of that game. I liked the way Wojo's team played defense. They are a hard nosed bunch of young men. Great win. Now Marquette is Walton's #1 team.
I also saw Wake lose at Syracuse. Wake got some bad calls by the officials. I guess making up for the ones they got against NCSU. GoDuke.
Looks like I made this thread a game too early. Now THIS one was impressive.
