Will be close to a packed house for #1 at home, regardless of whether they lose Wednesday to X this is storm worthy in my book. It's been years since we had a good storm at the BC, at least 10 if memory serves me. Cincy in 03?

I generally think storming is overdone...but we've been down for a couple years and Nova is a legit #1.

We got this.

This would be a perfect week...we beat creighton,  nova beats xavier,  we beat nova. Not only would we win against an undisputed #1 ...we would be 8-8 and hope would be there for the tourney.

Queue the naysayers:
We will lose to creighton...we will get creamed by nova.  Real brave stuff.

I think we go 0-2 this week but I do think that we will give Nova a run on Saturday.

+100. Beating #1 is not overdone--in fact rarely done especially by an unranked team.
Embrace it.

I'll be there. First since the Wisco game last season. Real pumped. Sitting 1st row top cheese, but he'll, if we're in it with 5 to go, I'm standing in the aisles in the lower bowl.

When was the last time we played #1 in Milwaukee?  Was it Depaul 30 years ago?

Questions

We played and beat #2 Uconn in Milwaukee in 2006.  Was this the last time we played number 2?

We played and beat #1 was Kentucky in 2003 E8.  Was the last time we played #1?

Is this correct?

Wisconsin was #2 last year when they beat us at the BC.

Not sure we have played a #1 since then...?

*Side note,Wisconsin will always be a #2 in my book...

I truly hope for the sake of MU and Big East profile, that Nova gets the overall no 1 seed in the NCAAs. ...with its only remaining losses to us, of course

If 'Nova drops two to us, that would probably cost them the overall #1 seed (especially after we embarrass them in the BET).

I like your thinking.  Beating them twice on boosts our ncaa seeding!   8-)

If we win , me and Newsie will be rappelling on to the court from the U-line suite.

I was at the UNC game.   Heartbreaker.   Possible program changer if MU would have pulled it out.

I feel like wardle scored 100% of our first half points in that Cincy loss. Can anyone verify?

Was there as well.  MU had the game in control.  Some bad unforced TOs.  Ugh.

Wardle scored a bunch in the first half against Cincy. You might be thinking of the game against DePaul. Had all 19 of MU's first half points.

Cinci jumped to a 23-2 lead with MU making 1 of their first 14 shots.   MU trailed 39-12 at half.

Wardle scores 24 in the second half to bring the final margin down to 12.

Memory so hazy, but wasn't it '02 when Cinci was #4 and we were unranked?  I do still remember my conversation with the usher.

"We're going to storm the court"

"I know"

I remember being SO excited for that game as a student. The cheerleaders handed out confetti to throw when MU made their first FG and the students were ready and into it. Unfortunately, the confetti-toss lost some of its effect when MU finally scored to cut the score to 20-2.

Students stormed the court upon beating #4 Cincy in '02 but, IIRC, there was also a court-storming in '03 when beating Cincy to clinch the ConfUSA title.

Newsie,

Looks like they changed us to the Coors Light Silver Bullet suite.  Just got the e-mail. 

Goods news is that it takes less rope to rapel to center court from there.   ;D
