Torture for MU?


Tonight at the Bradley Center:






vs.






The sports section is the best at the Journal Sentinel, but I had to chuckle at this whine from Todd Rosiak about Marquette's tough stretch ahead in their schedule. The accompanying headline called it "torturous."

"The short turnaround MU faces between Pittsburgh and Notre Dame -- it plays the Panthers at 1 p.m. Saturday and then hosts the Irish at 6 p.m. on ESPN2's 'Big Monday' -- will prove to be especially challenging if Dwight Buycks continues to be hobbled with the thigh contusion that limited him to just 11 minutes in Wednesday's win at Rutgers."

For the record, Notre Dame played at home Saturday night and now has to travel to play on the road  tonight. Their turnaround, though not "torturous," was indeed shorter than Marquette's.

There should be no complaining about the schedule in the Big East, the toughest conference in the land. Every team will have its "torturous" times.

Regardless of the "short turnaround" for BOTH teams, I expect the usual MU-ND dogfight.
