Not sure if this question goes in this thread - sorry if it belongs elsewhere. I've been trying to get tix to the Marquette game but wanted them on the 200 level. Does anyone know of any way to get some? The only ones I've found are right behind the basket, and might not be a good choice (taking friends). Thanks.

200 level seats for MU games are 99% sold to season ticket holders.

Four players suspended for rules violations for tonight's West Virginia game, none for the entire game. www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/140381883.htmlDJO, Cadougan, and Blue for the first half, Mayo for the second. Yes, you saw right, Buzz Williams staggered his suspensions so they wouldn't have as big an impact on the outcome of the game. By suspending Mayo for the second half only, he was able to keep him in the starting lineup, which it has been announced he's a part of. Slimy, slimy bullsh!t.

Violation of team rules, not NCAA or Big East rules, therefore they can enforce punishment however they see fit.
Could be something as harmless as being late for the team bus.

Still, it's minimized punishment manipulated with the outcome of the game chief in mind ahead of the discipline.

I asked my wife (a Marquette alumna) what she thought of this, and she said it was embarrassing that this was revealed on national television.

After the situation regarding our starting point guard during the off-season, I think UWM fans have no business judging this situation unless you are 100% sure you know what happened.

Are you being serious with this post? Tell me you're kidding. Get some facts before you post. Had he sat all four players in the first half, he would have only had 5 available players (not counting Gardner who dressed, but his knee is still not healed enough to play without risking re-aggravating it and wasting the month he's been off of it). He needed one more player so he could have one sub. That makes him "slimy"? When most coaches would just turn the other cheek and not even suspend the players in the first place. The consensus seems to be how admirable it is to sit THREE starters for an entire half for a conference road game. That is essentially conceding the game. The fact that they won is pretty remarkable.

He sat only as many players as he possibly could before the chance of winning the game became called into doubt from the start. The consideration of the game's outcome went into the disciplinary action Williams took. He strategically arranged his suspensions as if they were substitutions, and this isn't a particularly arguable point; that is unless, of course, there's a difference in the Marquette code of conduct between Offenses That Merit Suspensions For Only The First Half and Offenses That Merit Suspension For Only The Second Half. I guess Mayo committed a Grade E Offense That Merited Suspension For Only The Second Half, or something.
I have no problem with the idea of suspending a player. Rob had no problems whittling the team down to what, 8, 9 players in 2008? Winning did not come before discipline in that situation, and if you're going to have a code of conduct in amateur athletics, it's the appropriate response.

And then he danced on West Virgina's midcourt logo after the game. Which mostly made me laugh, because even by doing that he was still the extreme lesser of the two evils with the walking slug Bob Huggins in the other locker room. OK well I'm signing off. You're clearly just a Marquette basketball hater, so why even try to point out the flaws in your arguments? Again I repeat, sitting four players (three of whom are starters) for an entire half of a conference road game is extremely harsh punishment that a majority of the time will result in the team losing. He could have turned the other cheek and made them run extra sprints in practice and we'd never know anything happened. Instead, he sits them for a national TV game. I just fail to see how anything there makes him or the program "slimy". Just one man's opinion, I guess.
