In tonight's UW @ IU matchup on ESPN, that might as well feature Satan playing one on one against himself, and will inevitably have a final score in the 40's or 50's...I think we cheer for Crean. It would knock Bucky out of the tourney field. Who's with me?

As long as we play UW during the season I have to root for them to play well. I hope TC loses and UW does all it can to boos out SoS before tourney time. The last thing we need is one of our tougher non-conference wins to end up looking like a cupcake.

MU B2002 · « **Reply #2 on:** February 19, 2009, 10:45:44 AM »

I know we hate Bucky, but don't we want them to win? With the way Tennessee has been losing, we need some extra help to boost that OOC schedule.

I wasn't trying to echo the thoughts of Skatastrophy. I guess I just don't type fast enough....

MarquetteFan94 · « **Reply #3 on:** February 19, 2009, 10:46:08 AM »

My hope would be for a tie. But since IU already has one more win than I wanted them to have in Big 11 play and we beat WI, I would assume give this one to Bucky....RPI, etc.

Carl Spackler · « **Reply #4 on:** February 19, 2009, 11:07:28 AM »

The RPI impact is meaningless. The key is that i hate all things UW-Madison Sports. that trumpts any feelings either way for the former coach.

go hoosiers. 2 wins the little11 woo hoo!!

Better yet, don't even watch the game.

For me, my hatred of the badgers is trumped by my contempt for he-who-must-remain-nameless.

Badgerhater · « **Reply #7 on:** February 19, 2009, 11:25:31 AM »

If MU does its job in the next 5 games, our OOC schedule is meaningless.

I grew up cheering for a different Little 11 team. It's always good to hate bucky and wish for them to be crushed. When IU wins we can all chip in and buy TC a banner.

tower912 · « **Reply #8 on:** February 19, 2009, 11:29:38 AM »

I was a Bob Knight fan and my wife is a big Hoosier fan so I have generally rooted for IU. I forgave TC long ago. No brainer. Go IU! Try to score in the 40's!

I will be rooting for Wisconsin for the first time in my life this evening, not that I can stand to watch that game, but I will look for the score and hope Wisconsin destroys IU. In the Big Ten that would be scoring 50 points and winning by 7.

That's like saying the first team to 100 wins in a regular game. More like first team to get into double digits wins. A lead of 10-6 would be insurmountable in a game like this.

Even if Wisconsin gets in the NCAAs they'll be no higher then a 8 seed as a mediocre team from the Big Ten. Not sure why that should raise our profile. Our non-con schedule is still weak and the number won't change that much based on a mediocre team sneaking in.

Besides, our reputation will be based on what we accomplish starting Saturday until March 7th. At this point, a loss on a last second shot in Pittsburgh is probably more valuable for our rep then the win over Wisconsin in early December.

lab_warrior · « **Reply #13 on:** February 19, 2009, 11:51:40 AM »

Have to root for Wisconsin, since we played them and if effects our SOS/RPI. A loss to a garbage team like IU would be a blow to that. If nothing was on the line for us, I wouldn't root for anyone.
And, as an aside, do you think they can just burn Assembly Hall (UofI) and salt the earth afterwards after that disgusting, 5th grade, CYO league level ineptitude on display last night?!? 38-33 FINAL!!?! Wow is the BigTen awful. I think most BE teams could play blindfolded and score 33.

I just can't possibly cheer for Wisconsin in any circumstance. I'm sorry. Also, I'd rather watch Sex in the City than this game. Or a completely blank TV for 2 hours.

Jackson_Downer · « **Reply #16 on:** February 19, 2009, 12:40:04 PM »

I will be publicly cheering for the Badgers and secretly hoping for the stadium to collapse.

Those of you planning on cheering for Bucky just consider a few things please.

1 No Marquette fan should ever cheer for Wisconsin. Am I wrong???

2.) Forget about what Crean did to us for a second. We are doing just fine with Buzz. Not only have we been around the top 10 for the majority of the year, we have 3 top 70 recruits as well as a top JUCO player coming in next year. Not to mention Big Red. But we know all of this.

3.) A loss for Wisconsin is far more hurtful than a loss for Indiana would be. For Indiana, its just another day. For Wisconsin, it knocks them out of the field and puts them sqaure near the bottom of the bubble. Forget about RPI, any time Bo doesn't make the tourney, all MU fans should rejoice.

4) In any case, I think we can all agree the best scenario would be a natural disaster.

I only care about MU. UW not making the tourney only diminishes that W for us, and we don't want that. We want our resume to include Ws over tourney-caliber teams.

Badgerhater's points made me think of one more:

Wiscy not making it to the big dance this year (if that happens) should help *a little* with in-state recruiting (view: a regressing Wisconsin program), no?

+1. Tubby's recruiting in the Big 10/that area also hurts UW alot. I don't want to sound like a bad fan in ignoring that Wisco's success can help our SOS, quality wins, RPI, resume, etc. I just think it would be far more worth it to see Bucky fail.

I don't know if it's because I'm not originally from Wisconsin, but I don't really hate them so much as I find them a brief annoyance from time to time. I'm from Chicago and despise Illinois, but since Crean bolted IU has now vaulted to the top of my "ladder of hatred". Now I have to root for Wisconsin and Illinois at least twice a year each.

HomeCourtAdvantage · « **Reply #27 on:** February 19, 2009, 03:20:30 PM »

Vegas has the line at Wisconsin favored by 10 points, O/U is 123 1/2 pts. I like the Badgers covering and the under.... so I guess GO BADGERS!!!

BTW... Definitely bet the under. Every time in the Big Ten.

Ari Gold · « **Reply #30 on:** February 19, 2009, 03:49:52 PM »

current line is WI by 9 1/2 and O/U of 124.

I guess I want to see It's Indiana win. That team is going to bad for a long time to come and I'd rather see Bo Ryan's team beaten It's more than it being WI, there are a few people that attend Madison that annoy me... it's personal. That would eliminate WI from tournament possibility. Ultimately if the game ended like Penn St/Ill that would be best, with neither team cracking 40.

And from what I've seen this year, a completely plausible scenario. I don't understand how people can even defend B10/11 ball...

no doubt.

I realize 'who they are' but they are in the rearview mirror as far as I am concerned.

I'd rather have our RPI go up than to see Bucky lose.

they aren't making the tournament anyway.

wrong. they're in just about every projected tournament field right now: http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/39761877.html

should they be? probably not. I can understand if you just became a Marquette fan 1, 2, 3, or even 4 years ago MAYBE cheering for Bucky tonight. But i would sincerely hope that if you've been a diehard MU fan you're entire life you wouldn't cheer for UW in any circumstance.

With UW@Madison's remaining schedule:

@ Indiana
@ Michigan State
Michigan
@ Minnesota
Indiana

They'll probably win 3 of 5. Minnesota may be slumping, but they won't lose to UW@Madison. The rodents have less than a chance at Michigan St. If they don't make a run in the Big 11 tournament I don't see any reason they should make the NCAA tourney. If they win out their season, then I could see them as an 8 or 7 seed.

Wisconsin is useless for our power numbers.

We play the toughest schedule in the country tomorrow. After that, we play three top ten ranked teams. As ever, our power numbers are built in conference. Win two of three on the road and our numbers will jump higher then if Wisconsin won out until the NCAA Tournament.
