This Marquette team could be a real contender in this year's tournament. I also agree that Lazar Hayward is having a phenomenal year. I completely agree with Ben.

The only reason their recent history doesn't favor them Is what I mentioned about the selection committee. 2 years ago they were in the top 24 in RPi yet they got an 8 seed and played Michigan St. a 9.. Just cuz the selection committee was in love with the story of Crean vs Izzo. Last year the selection committee thought it would be a good idea to put the best front line in the country(Stanford) against MU. Like I said if MU doesnt get screwed by the selection committee they should be in the sweet 16 at minimum. Its funny everyone always mentions the lack of a post presense, yet their 4 loses this year are against teams that dont dont have great big men. Dayton, Tennessee, USF and Villanova. While they have beat Wisconsin, Georgetown, and Notre dame. Sliding against better competition? Who? one loss at Villanova?, when the Wildcats were on fire from distance all night? MU beat that same team at home handly earlier in the year. The fact is most people dont watch enough of Marquette to really understand what they do. If you watched Marquette you would not have posted what you did about Hayward. The proof is in the pudding. If Im Marquette the only 2 teams I dont want to see in the tournament are North Carolina and Oklahoma. 16 pts and 9 boards a game, while being a 6-5 power forward isnt phenomenal?

I've watched Marquette plenty this year & I would not say Hayward is having a phenomenal year. MU has been sliding lately against better competition. Matthews is part of the trio of guards that Andrew talks about extensively & he's a major reason for their success to-date. But Tournament history is not on the Eagles' side without a more reliable post presence... Ben, I disagree completely.

You failed to mention Matthews or Lazar Hayward and the phenomenal seasons those 2 are having. As long as this team isnt screwed by the selection committee, like they have been in the past, at minimum they will achieve a sweet 16. Have you seen this team play at all this season. Im not even a Marquette fan and respect them more than you do. This is probably the most pathetic, uninformed profile I have ever read.
