Marquette stays hot, beats Georgetown

When the 16 Big East teams convened in October at Madison Square Garden for preseason media day, the conference coaches' votes revealed they considered Georgetown and Marquette middle-of-the-pack teams.

This team is amazing. Their guard play is outstanding (all 4 of them) and Hayward is out of sight offensively this season. They are small by collegiate standards but are super-quick and play tough D to compensate for not having an inside game. They are as fun to watch as any team out there as they can all hit the trays as well as drive to create offensive opportunities. They are well-coached and have a big heart as a team as evidenced by come from behind wins. They leave it all on the court almost every game. I saw them beat Kentucky out here in Anaheim in last year's NCAA tourney, and they are vastly improved this year. They could win this conference without a stud inside guy...which would be miraculous. The Louisville game should be huge as they only face each other once in 09. Go Marquette!
