Marquette 59, South Dakota State 51
Every shot that left Katherine Plouffe's hand in the second half found the bottom of the net. Those shots resulted in 16 of her game high 20 points to help Marquette (7-5) pull away from a 24-24 tie at the half and defeat South Dakota State (7-5), 59-51. It was a terribly ugly first half as both...

9.5.11 Weekend Recap: Now With Pictures
Evidence of a one sided women's soccer beatdown. [Insert David Caruso sunglasses joke] #11/#12 women's soccer took their first road trip of the season and first loss of the season on Friday night with a 3-1 loss against #7/#10 Florida State. The Seminoles' Tori Huster first put Marquette in a 1-0...
9.2.11 Weekend Preview
Three volleyball matches, two women's soccer matches and two men's soccer matches. I guess it's safe to say that the fall sports schedule at Marquette is in full swing. The volleyball team looks to end their weekend above the .500 mark they currently sit at with a trip to the Bluejay Invitational...

Clearly, Washington State was not all that enthused by the idea of playing for a relatively meaningless also-ran championship at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night, because Wazzu laid down and died in that game. Wichita State out-rebounded the moribund Cougars 55-25 and outscored them 75-44...

I really don't think I need to say anything about the one locally significant game that took place Sunday. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words. I think I got all the schadenfreude out of my system yesterday and I'm ready to start focusing on our own teams again. Associated Press...
TOURNEY WATCH: 3/27/2011 (NCAA Open Thread)
First things first: Let this post serve as our unofficial gathering place today as we cheer the Rams of the Commonwealth of Virginia on to an upset win over the Mythical Birds. A region as prone to upsets as the Southwest has been deserves better than sending a chalky No. 1 seed to Houston. I want...

Rock chalk, around the clock — Friday was all KU, all the time. Forget the win over Richmond, which was at best a minor obstacle. Ohio State, the only other remaining No. 1 seed, stumbled all over its feet in its second consecutive Sweet Sixteen exit at the hands of an SEC team. Guess it's...
TOURNEY WATCH: 3/25/2011
Three Sweet Sixteen appearances by three BCS teams that defeated K-State this season produced two stinkers and one survival. All in all, not a great night for the ol' resume/reputation. I don't recall ever seeing a Mike Krzyzewski-coached team capitulate in the face of sudden and unanticipated...
TOURNEY WATCH: 3/24/2011
Joining Colorado in New York City next week for the NIT "final four" will be Alabama, Wichita State and Washington State, all unsurprising home winners Wednesday night. Alabama jumped all over Miami, but let the Hurricanes back into it midway through the game before putting them away for good late....
