For some on here there is a silver lining for every recruit, injury, transfer or game result. Off course they play both sides of the fence to make their points. In fact, there is usually multiple silver livings for everything related to their posts.

Similarly, every victory seems to have a dark cloud for some on here. And you know what? They both usually do!

Yep.

Sadly, there will be some Marquette "fans" disappointed if we win today. There even has been talk about betting against our guys, giving them even more incentive to root against their "favorite" team.

Unfortunately true, but don’t put Goose in that category.  He wants us to win.  There are others that do not and feel it is a means to an end.

Now 27-6. Is Roy aware there are no draft picks to tank for in the NCAA?

One game to watch next week is UNC vs. Clemson. Clemson is 0-59 at Chapel Hill and this is probably their best shot to win in a while.

If they have Anthony then it isn’t an awful bet, but I’d be surprised if he comes back.

Anyone see Illinois beat Purdue 63-37?  Ouch.  Thought Purdue was quite overvalued, but putting up 37 points?  Wow.

Yep, UVA's 184th ranked offense isn't very prolific.  Then again, UVA is coming off a National Championship, which is nice.

The teams MU beat in non-conference are really not coming through. Purdue, Davidson, KSU, and imo USC (watched the whole game last night and they looked terrible) are all pretty bad this year. I’m not counting on any of those being “good” wins on selection Sunday.

Some people will find a way to claim anybody MU beats is bad.  If the results don't prove it, they'll just claim it's proof that college basketball sucks/is down.
