HERE WE GO
« on: February 25, 2009, 06:30:16 AM »
Alright ladies and gentleman...game day has arrived!!!  With arguably the most anticipated game in Milwaukee (with the greatest implications) in decades, it's time to show the country what we're made of.

It's going to take a near flawless performance to beat UCONN tonight (although not nearly as much with their loss of Dyson).  I'm going to cringe when I see a 6'6" Lazar or a 6'6" Butler guarding Thabeet in the post...but I'm hoping with these inevitable match-ups, we can draw the big fella away from the basket.  Need Lazar to be banging 3's early.

Would give my left arm to be there.....I'm glad that I'll be at the game this Sunday in Louisville, and would love nothing more to pull a sweep this week!

Hot damn...I'M FIRED UP!!!!

Chances of me focusing on anything other than this game today are slim and none.

I had a dream last night that Otule and Fulce were playing heavy minutes and taking care of business.  Obviously March is near!

I hope you're right...with drawing Thabeet out.  Would UCONN go to a zone if MU goes small?  I would think they could just force/funnel the guards to Thabeet. 

That being said...who would have thought MU would be playing a sold-out BC game on Wednesday, Feb. 25th to remain at the top of the BEAST.  What a great year to be an MU fan.

Out here on the East Coast, nothing better than starting my day with a Marquette article in the NY Times.

My productivity today may reach non-existent.

So so pumped!

Well, I don't think UConn plays much zone at all, so I don't think we are gonna see that. As big and athletic as they are, I think they are gonna have a tough time keeping up with MU. Beyond that, I think they are a touch on the 'soft' side, and I think there is a real possibility that MU just runs away from them in the second half, kinda like they did against Georgetown.

My biggest concern in this one is rebounding simply because the size differential is so pronounced - Thabeet, Adrien, Robinson...Rebounding is generally about moving your feet, but there are cases where size does matter.

Makes some shots, score in transition, play great D on the perimeter, and I think MU will get the win.

Didn't think this game could possibly get bigger, but with Pitt losing last night, the implications of tonight's game got a lot stronger. The scenarios for a BE championship are a lot less complicated now.

Agreed, selloutuconn.com video is going to get a lot of plays.

Between the home crowd, their loss of Dyson' and the way we've been playing, I agree that this game is a push, odds-wise. Should be close all the way through... Can't wait to take it all in from section 428!

My girlfriend told me I was talking in my sleep last night.  Apparently I told her that we can beat UConn if we pressure their guards.
