UCalum08, I don't think many people realize the mess MC took over. I think its time people in his Hometown support his efforts. It is strange to me that people outside the city notably the talking heads understand what MC has accomplished. The fact that he is mentioned in regards to every open coaching position should tell people something. Of course that would mean people would have to realize that just because you follow the game as a fan doesn't make you competent or qualified to resurrect a program. They use 20/20 hindsight and limited coaching experience or ability to support their opinions but if you gave them a whistle and a bag of balls and said, OK you coach the team they would look like a deer in the headlights. We have a local who wants to be here coaching our team and doing VERY well. It is comical to me how many were screaming for Thomas's head for hiring Kelly,Jones and MC. All they have done is given us 4 BE football Championships and 2 BCS bowl games and MC has got us back in the Dance 2 consecutive years and it looks like more on the way from a program that was given a self imposed death penalty. My message to those people is if you want to help the program don't try to tell MC how to coach, you not qualified. What you are qualified for is buying tickets and supporting the team. If you think you can do a better job than what he has delived your mental and should seek immediate help. Go CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Is there any player in college basketball that gets hit more and gets less calls than Yancy?

I can't think of any and it's bordering on absurd the bad calls he gets...I think refs just don't like the guy. Yancy is a good guy but he doesn't come off as one on the court. I honestly can't remember the last time he didn't complain about a call. Legitimate or not, he complains every time. Some times he needs to bite the bullet and just raise his hand, even if he disagrees with the call. Last night was a good example when he picked up his fourth foul. Crowder got Yancy off his feet and Yancy obviously fouled him but Yancy was still complaining about it. That typically doesn't help your cause....his 3rd foul was b.s. though.
 
In the post game press conference, Mick mentioned Jackson having back spasms that were bothering him.

I hope this isn't an issue moving forward, it sounds like it has been known for a while now.
 
Ended up scoring some tickets late for the game (in the lower level). Great crowd and even better effort out of the Cats!! I'm glad Parker is smart enough to realize that Marquette plays really soft defense and just took it to the rim. Cash and Dixon did a great job of limiting turnovers which killed us last time. Gates was a beast rebounding and Jackson was a beast on shots. You could see some of his blocks before they came, sprinting up trailing the play. He made sure Marquette got very little fast break points and got a run going. Overall good effort out of everyone. Marquette was due for a loss and we gave it to them in a big way!! Trying to remember if we've beaten a higher ranked team in the Cronin era?
