It's best not to watch all the stuff on The EntertainmentSPN. They don't know more than we do. The Warriors know how to win and we defend better and are more disciplined. They can't throw anything at us we haven't seen.
Statistically, you guys are better on offense while we are better on defense. Kenpom has you guys rated #22 on offense and #48 on defense whereas UW is rated #32 on offense and #38 on defense.
That is all BS , who have you defended?
LOL...that's why you guys were compared to Providence this morning on ESPN radio, a team which plays no defense, but tries to outscore it's opponents.
EntertainmentSPN has nothing better to do but fill up airtime. Most of them read the stats and don't WATCH the games.
I won't try to explain all of it, because Kenpom does a terrific job of breaking it all down and includes adjustments (which would help you guys considering you had a tougher schedule). http://kenpom.com/rate.php (http://kenpom.com/rate.php)
Here's a quick breakdown though, not figuring in adjustments.
Providence (Pace = 5th fastest in the country): 82.4 pf 82.2 pa
Marquette (Pace = 303rd fastest): 72.9 pf 64.2 pa
Washington: (Pace = 10th fastest): 79.8 pf 69.9 pa
Also, here's the strength of schedule for the same 3 teams
Providence: 27th
Marquette: 42nd
Washington: 55th
Ok Dawg , then you should bet the house on the Huskies . Good luck .

With tuition due soon, nooo way. I think this is a 50/50 game, with maybe a slight edge towards you guys.
Best to turn off the TV, especially EntertainmentSPN 'till gametime and enjoy the game, otherwise we will all get an headache
I'm not getting sick of the analysis, and already beyond sick of the UW trolls. Badger fans are less annoying...there, I said it.
do u expect fans of another team to concede? Of course they are defending the Huskies, i would do the same for Marquette. Blind loyalty.
Well whatever turns you on. I just think their fans should be more nervous about this game than we are.
Maybe I am a homer, or perhaps an idiot, maybe both...but the more I read about UW (Washington that is) the more I think this game is not even close. I know we tend to play down to the competition at times, but given this is the last time out for our seniors and given they know the one and done to the tourney, I think we come to play and play Big East basketball from the opening tip. I am sorry, but UW doesn't have a chance in my opinion.
There I said it.
Go Warriors.
SERocks
We've lost to teams that play uptempo (nova twice), but we've also beat nova and PU twice. I'd say Washington is closer to PU than Nova in terms of talent.
It's just going to be a tough game. Period. And we won't know who wins til it's over (yogi). But, . . .
GO MARQUETTE!!
