Post by: schubert33 on February 21, 2009, 08:32:21 PM: I feel like they should beat Syracuse, but all the other games are tough to call. UCONN at home is a positive, but PITT and LOUISVILLE on the road will be very tough, but that's where an experienced team can go in there and win. I just don't see how they can even contain Blair....

We have played Pitt very well in the past, same thing with Lville. I think 2 wins is the logical choice, but don't discount 3 or all 4 so quickly.

I think we could lose this one by 15+...with their interior post presence of Clark, Samuels, and Jennings, too much for us to handle.

if all those guys show up. That's the thing w/ L'ville, they have one of the scariest teams to play against when all those guys are playing well. On the other hand, if one or two of them have an off night, they can downright stink up the place. I would say if we can limit the damage Williams does and take one of the above 3 completely out of the game, we have a good shot at winning.

Post by: CTWarrior on February 22, 2009, 09:12:15 PM: If you take the games one at a time, I would say we'll go 1-3. But I think we'll get one of the UConn, Louisville or Pitt games plus beat Syracuse.

Post by: MUhoops12 on February 22, 2009, 10:35:34 PM: I can see us taking at least two of the last four games. I believe we can win all of these games based on pure talent and experience, but playing at Freedom Hall and at the Peterson Events Center scares me.

Post by: Norm on February 22, 2009, 11:04:44 PM: This year will mark the 4th time in 4 years in the Big East that Marquette has played at Louisville. The Cardinal has only made two trips to the Bradley Center in the same 4 years. I hope we can pull that one out. (Same holds true for ND by the way)

Post by: willie warrior on February 23, 2009, 09:43:33 AM: These final 4 are killers, especially Loserville, UCONN and Pitt.

Those optimists that are picking us to win all 4--where can we all get what they are smoking? But hey, why not wish for it? (The 4 wins--not what they are smoking)

Post by: Coleman on February 23, 2009, 10:05:47 AM: Should take care of business vs. Syracuse.

Most likely will win 1 of the 3 remaining games (I'm thinking UCONN)

3-2 in the last 5 would be a great finish and should wrap up a 3 seed even if with a 1 and done in the BET.

4-1 should be a 2 seed, possibly a 1 with a run in the conference tourny
