or fun, what are the chances we do a 2011 UCONN run? hey we can dream right
-
0%.
-
Never know. Need to get the 7 seed. 6 seems like a stretch at this point.
Chances we actually win the NC, 0%.
-
I picked 0% mainly because UCONN won the damn national title. If we're just talking unexpected big east tournament champs, I up my vote to 0.0000000001 - 1%.
-
Option 2. If we played out this season 10 billion times, I think we could catch lightning in a bottle once.
You heard it here first....
-
in this poll we are dreaming straight national title. "(we're dreaming) awesome baby, awesome with a capital A"
-
You need a good PG in college basketball. Marquette hasn't had one since Dominic James. Napier took over that year. Maybe Cheatham can be that guy once he improves his handle a bit.

1% chance of bid; 1% chance of Conference Championship. Obviously much less chance to win it all.

I think he means the year that Kemba took over, as UCONN wasn't in the Big East when Napier's takeover won them the National Title (edit: and the thread title is 2011 UCONN).

100.99%

Fixed.
-
Zero. Would go into negative percentages in permitted. UConn had Kemba a guard who could take over and control any game with the ball in his hands. Marquette doesn't. Discussion ended.
-
we can dream can't we?
-
5% chance to win the BET. We probably win it 1 out of 20 times.
0% for the actual question.

I THINK THIS IS ABOUT RIGHT.
-
Coaches ask players to give 110%, so that's what I'd be giving us if that were an available choice!
And in the Kemba role ... Cam Marotta!
-
There is only on guarantee in life, that is fact. So logistically speaking there is no reason any person should vote 0%. As someone said earlier, if you played the end of the season out 100 trillion times, Marquette would win the national championship in one of those universes.
-
Someone believes we have some type of chance.
-
Y'all got a better chance at fookin' Bella Hadid, ai na?

So, you say there's a chance!!!! ;)

Can not be serious.

2011 UCONN - Maui Invite Champs
2016 MU - FanDuel Invite Champs
2011 UCONN - Lottery Pick
2016 MU - Lottery Pick
Seems totally plausible that we'd win the BET & NCAA tourney.

I like the optimism.
I would like to point out, however..
2011 Lottery Pick that was a junior and went into the NBA and has averaged 12 points per game his first year in the League and nothing short of 17 per game since.
2016 ...if he is a lottery pick...is a Freshman and I'll wager doesn't get more than 5 points per game his rookie year, might get to 10 per game his third year in the league.
Totally different players and skill level where they were\are in their college careers at the time.

What would you like to wager that Hank goes for 5 a game next season?

$100 to charity of your choice. That way you can get a tax deduction.
I would like one parameter on it, however. Must play a minimum of 35 games.

As the Aussies would say... "Buckley's chance"

Creighton nailed our BET chances shut.
We needed to be a 6 seed to have any shot.

Go 3 and 2 the rest of the way, 8-10 might get us past 2 of Georgetown, Providence and Butler. Especially because going 3-2 the rest of the way (and likely beating Butler/Gtown along the way) would give us the tiebreaker in a 3 way tie.
Providence Schedule:
@ Xavier
@ Seton Hall
Creighton
DePaul
St. John's
Can they go 1-4? Probably unlikely. Guessing 2-3/3-2
Butler Schedule:
@ Villanova
@ Georgetown
Seton Hall
Marquette
Can they go 1-3? If we beat them, yes. We could pass Butler with a 3-2 finish
Georgetown Schedule:
Seton Hall
Xavier
Butler
Marquette
@ Nova
Can they go 1-4? Depends on tonight. Need to lose tonight and lose to us. Realistically we'd probably have to get to 9-9, but I think 7-11 is the most likely.
So, there's a chance. But yeah, it's real unlikely now.

While it was no doubt a crushing defeat, we really need to get to the 7.
SJU in the 7/10 game; then get X the next night. I actually wouldn't hate our chances against X on a neutral court. I am a big X fan and think they're one of the better teams in the country, but I also think we match us decently with them. The problem then becomes winning 2 more, which is no doubt a tall task. Getting the 6 would be much better, but at this point unlikely.

That's why I wanted the 6 real bad.
Sure the 3 would be tough especially if it's SHU who kinda owns us. But only have to win 3 games.
We would get X before Nova. There is a chance the 7 beats X and TWO chances for Nova to be upset.
It's a long shot anyway you look at it. But having to win 3 instead of 4 and not ever being guaranteed to face X or Nova was the best route.

There is absolutely zero chance we would get in at 8-10. None whatsoever. There is a better chance they would leave all four teams out than let us in with an 8-10 record. Less than 20 wins and a sub-100 RPI? We'd be lucky to get into the NIT with that.

I think you misunderstood what he is saying. He is talking about getting the 6 seed, no getting a bid to the NCAAs.

I was talking about getting to 6th in conference for an easier BET run.

Gotcha, complete misunderstanding on my point.
