MU/Miami Ranked Last - like the Big Head idea though

8. Marquette (3) vs. Miami (2)

There is nothing wrong with this matchup, and it may end up the best game of the eight, but somebody had to finish last. An important question: Will an enterprising member of Marquette’s student section, well known for using giant cutout heads to distract shooters, make a big head of Nevin Shapiro?

Not sure how our game is behind the LaSalle v. Wichita St. game, but I would almost have to agree with the others being ahead. Miami is a really good team, but they don't have a national following or reputation in basketball. While we have a ton of history, MU is still a small, private school from Milwaukee.

What this game needs is a former model with credits on the cover of Maxim to pique interest.

The DWade angle should be a story at least in Miami.


I'm sure he will say something like "I love Miami but Marquette is my school".....
