And some people just call me effective. It is no coincidence that my first NCAA Tournament of my life has resulted in a first round win for Marquette, their first tourney win since 2003. Yes, it came at the hands of my Uncle Brian's Kentucky Wildcats, but there are always casualties on the way to a National Championship, not my fault.
As you can see, I was wrapped up in my new Marquette blanket (courtesy of my favorite South Side Irish gal, Miss Gaelen Bell) and we brought home the victory. Marquette Coach Tom Crean and I talked on Wednesday about game strategy and I told him free throws could be a deciding factor, and it looks like he put the boys to work from the charity stripe this week.
Now it's time to bring down the Cardinal on Saturday night (sorry, Katherine and Casey, but we gotta do it). Go Marquette, Go, Go, Go, Go!
P.S. Yes, I'm a girl and that's a black Jordan beanie on my head... my dad is kind of strange sometimes.
