It seems not much chatter on this game tonight. DePaul looked pretty good in their 2 point loss to Cuse. This game might be tougher than we want. I think the pressure is on us as a loss would be a killer for our NCAA hopes. DePaul has nothing to lose other than another game.
We definitely will come out like we should tonight, and not back down. We will learn from the last game to not sleep on DePaul. I'm not too worried because I think the team will be motivated to win this game and won't look at as an easy win
DePaul is playing a lot harder under their new coach. Somehow he has motivated the players to step it up to another level. I think they could win a few more in conference from here on out, (except tonight).
I expect this to be a huge win tonight. 82-58. They should be playing with a huge chip on their shoulder. I really am not worried about tonight's game. Now the Providence game on Saturday is a different story. But we'll get to that later.
+1

Anyone else see the "TMac" style alley-oop that Greedy Peterson threw to himself last night?
yeah, but if you look at that play closely it looks like Greedy was trying to do a crazy layup but then saw the opportunity for a great dunk. He went 10 for 20 so shot selection isn't one of his strong suits

10 for 20 is a lot better than the 9-29 that Downey had for SC the other night against UK.
Sorry, enough derailment.
I hope it's a blow out tonight. My heart and blood pressure need a few more recovery days.
I don't see how anyone could take this game tonight for granted given we are facing an opponent who just beat us recently without their quality big who will be playing tonight.
Hopefully the team and crowd show up with a sense of urgency tonight. A solid win helps diminish the importance of the bad loss to DePaul; a loss kills us. This is a huge game. I'm shocked the line is as high as it is.
MU wins large tonight, very large.

Jeez, thats seem like a large spread to me. Koshwal is back and Depaul didn't play that bad against the Cuse.

Don't let the loss last time fool you. Tonight will be a very comprehensive beating. All but over by halftime. That heartbreaker against Syracuse will be on display for DePaul tonight.
I just hope Acker is on Will Walker from the start and not Cubi because Mo shut him down in the second half.
If you are going to the game tonight, please make sure to donate some money to Haiti on your way out after the game! Reps will be at every door!
