Title: 8-point dogs at Butler...
Post by: ecompt on January 15, 2017, 08:30:39 PM: But of the next three games this is the most winnable. If JJJ is OK we have a decent shot at winning this one.

EDIT: Upon a full night's rest, the points are actually reasonable. In fact, looks like it's up to 8.5.

Yes. 8 pts sounds completely reasonable.

MU must shoot well & not get decimated by turnover differential. And hope Butler doesn't shoot as well as they often do. #pray

Post by: brewcity77 on January 16, 2017, 08:16:04 AM: I hope I'm wrong, but I have a "Scoop meltdown" feel about this one. Think we lead most of the way in a tight game, then get tripped up at the end. Just a little too early and a little too big. But I like our odds in the rematch.

Post by: TAMU, Knower of Ball on January 16, 2017, 09:00:06 AM: I am hoping the short rest works out for Marquette. MU got to rest their starters in a snoozer against Depaul. Butler had to play to the wire in a physical slugfest with X. That can make a difference. My head says loss but my heart says MU by 6.

Probably not the best jab saying you are in a league with mid-majors.

And Butler leads the all-time series 18-17.
