.. down 64-47 with about 5 minutes left, win 71-70.

Last few minutes, UofL rained in 3s, and when they missed they got the offensive boards. Heartbreaking loss for Marquette.

That huge UofL crowd sure helped them too. Wish we had that at USF.

Admit it, quo. You wish Georgetown had it as well...

That may be the best comeback in school history. For those that watched the game I can't even describe how much Marquette dominated every aspect of the game for 35 minutes. This was a blowout and UofL looked defeated.

I hate to say it but Pitino took out Siva at PG and put in true freshman Elisha Justice from Eastern KY. Justice led the comeback with dishes to Knowles and Knowles delivered. He had four 3's in the final minutes and the Cards end the game on a 24-5 run.

Yes that may be the best comeback ever. It ranks rght up there with the S. Carolina game back in the day... minus the big fight.

Just win baby!

Sure, i wish we had 20,000 in the verizon center. Or else a 9,000 seat arena that we could pack.

We just don't have a good venue for our fan base right now. But USF is a lot farther from what UofL has than GT.

a typical pitino come back fantastic, did you see pitino tell the players on the bench to zip it with 5 minutes left in the game??

Yes, Justice was key. He was able to get into the lane at will the last 5 minutes, and that opened everything else up.

I still think the comeback versus Tennessee in Pitino's first year, where we scored 9 points in the last 33 seconds to come back and win may have been more exciting because of the way it happened. But this was still good.

Just got back the game a little while ago. It was certainly awesome. And it was really ******* loud in there, far louder than it appeared on TV.

That was a great game!

It was a great game, if you were a fan of the home team. If you're a Marquette fan, it's another story...

The Tennessee comeback was much bigger, but this was a big one for sure.

Truth be told, it was the team that brought the fans back to life in this one.
