You're always such a nice poster. You should relish this win! I'm really happy for Duffy, too!

Great win for Marquette, they played extremely well and earned it. Congratulations to both their players and coaches!
UConn is just a beaten up, bruised and tired team with no adequate available reserves. Geno needs to realize and accept that the game has changed and increase his recruitment of bigger, stronger and more physical players, to not only protect and defend his skilled finesse players but to do some intimidating, bruising and banging of his own.
It's like in football, you have to have the bigs up front to defend and to move the ball, score and be effective. Sometimes, it's necessary to knock a couple of opposing players into next Thursday. Staley realized this years ago.
I'm surprised that Caitlin Clark is still ambulating. She takes a tremendous physical beating every game, probably more than any other guard in college. It concerns me that players like Aziz, Caitlin and Paige will be able to become the great players of their day later in their careers with the overly physical play now permitted in college.

| This UConn team may have been defensively solved for teams with the right kind of defenders: Pack the lane, face guard Senechal, get back on defense to cut off fast breaks, and accept UConn making some infrequent three's by Muhl, Griffin or Juhasz. Edwards doesn't shoot from the arc and no one on the active bench can score. |

UConn stunk it up. I'm thankful it only counts as one loss. Got to credit Marquette for playing great defense for 40 minutes.
Good win for Duffy. Reminds a Little of a St Johns win that ended a long UConn home winning streak. That win helped the St Johns coach get a nice gig in the B1G. |
I had the same thought... Marquette better be ready to ante up if they want to keep her. |
When Kieger departed her alma mater, I accepted the fact that we'd likely never be able to keep a good coach at MU. Duffy was an extremely good hire. I've decided it's out of my control if she remains here or not - I'm going to try to enjoy the time she's here and hope they can make another good hire when a P5 program snatches her up.
Marquette's Volleyball program has had a lot of recent success and they did just manage to sign their coach to an extension but he's from the area - Duffy doesn't have any ties to this area.

It really is except it would have been much cooler had I been able to be there in person but at least I could still watch it.
I've been following this program closely for over 30 years - Jim Jabir was the coach when I first started following them and they played at the aptly named Old Gym that had a capacity of about 1,000. I wasn't sure they could ever beat UCONN - this is awesome!
And thanks for the well wishes.
P.S. to Queenie if you see this - any word on if they are going to try to make up the Seton Hall-DePaul game where DePaul didn't have enough available scholarship players?

| There's been no formal announcement, but the game popped up on the Seton Hall and DePaul schedules on February 13th (which is a Monday and, uh... between getting whomped by Creighton and the events of this evening, Seton Hall's tournament chances are pretty much dead, so I will not be hauling out to New Jersey on a work night)

Yeah I hadn't heard any announcement and actually never thought go check each team's schedule. I was curious as Marquette is close to Seton Hall in the conference standings now. I see from looking at DePaul's schedule that these two teams will now play each other back to back - Feb 13th at Seton Hall and Feb 15th at DePaul - that's unusual but I realize that came about from the game originally being postponed.

I came here specifically to congratulate you, MarquetteFan. I won't make excuses for last night, you guys played better and deserved to win. I love Duffy and I hope she stays.

| Thereโs a Minnesota connection for Duffy, and the Gophers sure could use a new head coach. ๐ค

Interesting stat comparison. Confirms the eye test.
Duffy is likely a better technical coach than Staley on both offense and defense, but this is obscured because the talent differentials have been so great between Marq and SCarโStaley being probably the best recruiter in D1 over the past several years. |

It must be noted that Marquette got to face UConn after the game vs S.Carolina. UConn starters played a lot of minutes in both games and were clearly losing their legs vs Marquette. Not trying to take the shine off Marquette's victory, just trying to shake off the shade being thrown at South Carolina by grumpy UConn fans.

I'd love for her to stay at MU for many years to come but just realistically don't see that happening.

. I really love having Duffy as our coach - not sure how much longer she'll be here but I'll enjoy having her here for now.
. I'd like to think he's looking down very proud of her now.
also did you not see the wink emoji at the end there?
