Rush the floor letdown

[NJO]

I expect Marquette to have that tonight, so I'll take the big 19 points and play East Carolina tonight.

ECU is no great shakes on the road, but they do have some talent, and off of their most recent game, a confidence-building, come from behind win vs St. Louis, I expect them to have a solid effort here tonight.

On the other hand, Marquette and their fans are still celebrating their Saturday home win vs Cincy, and being back in the Top 25, they now have a target on them again.

Marquette will win, but it won't be easy.

Marquette 75, ECU 65.

Good luck!

They ought to have some sort of etiquette on rushing the court or tearing down the goalposts. First, only a few conferences (the ones that count) should be qualified to do this. We'll draw the line at Marquette/Cincy. If your conference is more insignificant than C-USA, you get tossed in jail. So if you're at Iona or William and Mary, and you upset a mega-power like Marist or the mighty Hampton, you spend a night in the pokey. Or, if you're UCLA and you beat Kansas and rush the floor, you get harassed for being tacky. John Wooden would turn over in his grave (when he gets there) at the prospect of UCLA fans rushing the floor over a win.
Maybe the Marquette fans rushed the floor because the game went over the 128 total.

valuist, you are right on. I understood rushing the floor after beating a top 10 team, but beyond that, stay the F$^# in your seats and cheer

Amusing responses and a dead on pick....nice thread.
