Pete Gillen put MU to go to the elite eight, losing to Miami. He said " Vander Blue, stick with the glue!" Alaa Abdelnathy jumped in and said he is picking Marquette to beat Miami, and go to the final four! Ths was on the CBS Sports bracket breakdown show.
Add Doug Gottlieb, Tom Oates (Wis. State Journal) and Jay Williams (ESPN) to list of people picking Davidson. Oates has the Big Ten going 7-0 in first-round games and Big East going 2-6.
Actually, in the only sport that counts -- basketball -- Xavier dominated Premontre and Pennings during my time in high school (1978-81). Of course, Pennings did beat us in the quarterfinals of the WISAA Tourney back in 1981 after we had crushed the Squires twice during the regular season.
Miss those days.
Is Notre Dame a successor of either Pennings or Premontre? Did they merge or something?
