Marquette - Washington Tuesday Night

Awesome ball game on last night. Washington and Marquette at MSG. Started a little late because the first game ran long. Ended late. But turned out to be a pretty well played, intense game.

There was a sparce crowd at MSG. It had a summer league type attendance. The fans that were there were into the game. I think the small crowd allowed guys to play a little more loose. And it showed.

Both coaches, Lo Romar and Buzz Williams. I really like them. They work their asses off. They don't get the five star recruits, but they find good tough players that stay in the program and grow into better players.

Darius Johnson-Odom is a beast. Clearly one of the best players in the Big East. He could have a chance to play 82.

Terrence Ross is rising up prospect boards with his first 7 games this season. He's a long active player, shoots the ball from range and can defend good players. They have played a tough schedule so far and his game has translated. He's a guy to keep an eye on.

One of the things that I noticed is that both benches seemed very into the game. And yes I know that all college benches are usually jumping out of their shoes cheering. But there was a maturity to the way they were watching and rooting. They were all very focused on the game and their respective game plans.
