Tomorrow night may be the biggest game for the Bulls as they travel to face Marquette on the road at 8:30. This might be the biggest game of yet, I know that Georgetown and Pittsburgh were huge but in terms of the NCAA Tournament chances this key is far more important. Bulls have always struggled on the road in the Big East but have proven they can handle the pressure and play at a high level. After a tough loss to Notre Dame the Bulls have their winning streak snapped and a dose of reality.
Marquette is battling for its tournament life so it will be a hostile and physical game. Heyward is their leading scorer and can post up or take a 3 if you allow him. It will be up to the forwards to guard him. Jones for USF will have to continue to take over and dominate like he has but Howard and Famous are playing well and can take some of the heat off of him. Mercer and Crater are playing well, Fitzpatrick is playing poorly though and must pick his game up to help on the offensive side and stay out of foul trouble. The Bulls may have a weapon back, Gilchrist who has been out since December may returner and his ability would be a huge boost for the Bulls, but is he in shape and game ready? No one has a real answer but they need him out there.
It should be a good game and hope they are able to pull it off, GO BULLS!
