Title: Basketball Prospectous LOVES Marquette
Post by: Wade for President on February 16, 2010, 05:23:08 PM

Yeah...I know, I never heard about Basketball Prospectous before either....but I like the love they're giving MU.  I found this article on the ESPN Blog today, "Look out for Marquette.  Seriously...look out."

Scroll down to the Big East section...

I would give a lot to see a prospectus with that headline.      Manoman.

"iconoclastic"

Even if you don't know what that means, it still seems like an understatement.

This is by the same team that runs the highly-regarded Baseball Prospectus. Nate Silver, a stats guru runs it, or did. He might have given it up to run FiveThirtyEight.com his political polling site that managed to correctly predict 49 of the 50 states in the last election. Guy is wicked smart.

I think we take what they say, mix in a little Cracked Sidewalks and sprinkle on some Pomroy, and Marquette is looking good on paper. It's a shame we still have to play the games!
