Purdue Basketball: Marquette Preview – Yahoo Sports

Hey y’all, sorry for the late preview. Casey and I both had unexpected, unavoidable things come up yesterday.

Luckily, Marquette isn’t a tough team to preview because they’re not particularly good at playing the game of basketball this season. Honestly, I could hit publish now, and you’d have all the information you need about Shaka Smart’s Golden Eagles, but I’ve got an hour before I’m scheduled to attend a holiday market, so I’ll give you a little more. If you’re interested in a behind-the-scenes look at my writing process, I’m composing this preview in an oversized Grinch…. house hoodie/poncho? I don’t know, I bought it at a Buc-ees in Alabama; I call it a Groncho.

Anyways, I’m wearing a Groncho with a tortoise shell cat sitting in my lap, purring, making biscuits, not because she loves me, but because she loves the Groncho. I’m writing these paragraphs to warm up my brain and fingers, because neither function well before 8 AM.
