Bold Prediction..MU will be ranked top 25 heading into the big dance.
Not such a bold prediction, but I have a bad feeling Luke misses a bunch of games this year and MU's complete lack of front court depth becomes an ENORMOUS problem.
Really hope I am wrong here, but having a somewhat injury prone player as your only true front court player that can play high level D1 hoops is potentially devastating.

I agree that we have a thin front line, but 2009-10 worked out ok with Zar in the middle and Otule out....
I'll say Marquette will be top 2 in scoring offense for big east. Problem is they're allergic to defense and can't rebound. But they'll be a dangerous team. They have 6 guys that have averaged double digits over their career.

That is a bold statement; Marquette was 8th in the Big East in scoring a year ago. Would love to see it. But I'd be satisfied with improving to 5th in scoring if we can do the same in defense.

If you can get senior year Zar and his 19 points and 9 rebounds another year of eligibility then we should be ok.
Then again that team also had Jimmy Butler so.....

Not that difficult, look at all those minutes where sat with foul trouble...there is no Henry sitting on the bench to spell him this year. He had 12 games last year with 4 or 5 fouls, and 12 the year before in a truncated season.

Hank typically wasn't sitting on the bench waiting for Wojo to call his name when Hank picked up his 2nd in the first half. He was usually alongside him in the game as it was. Luke's backup last year is the same guy that will be his backup this year.

The minutes in those games, though:
16 vs Iowa (ridiculous blowout)
35 vs LSU
26 vs Arizona State (OT)
28 vs Providence
26 vs St. John's (named KenPom MVP of the game)
24 vs Xavier
21 vs DePaul (committed game losing foul for #4)
25 vs Providence (2OT)
32 vs DePaul
20 vs Villanova
19 vs Butler (down 20 last 10 minutes of the game)
19 vs St. John's
Kind of an even mix of "didn't really have his minutes hampered by fouls" and "was clearly kept off the court because of fouls."

So you making my point or disagreeing? That is about 3 full games of impacted minutes cumulatively. Worse, it is like a guy with a hamstring that impacts him all season and his full impact is not realized.
With Henry not there to help on defense, Big East coaches will double down their efforts even more on Luke to get him out of the game.

The point is that Luke hasn't missed a single game in his MU career. Arguing otherwise is...well, quite simply, wrong.

I know he has played injured. We have two bigmen. One that has not missed a game, but has often been injured and one that has missed games to injury. It will not surprise me, if there is more than one game where they both foul out.

I don't think I really had a side on that, other that I was curious to see how much time he actually missed in the games where he finished with four or fouled out.

I thought Heldt was starting to play much better just before he got hurt and missed the last five games or so. There is no way of knowing, if he would of made a difference in the last few games, but he did miss a chance to get some more valuable experience.
ND sucks
A little disappointed with the "ND sucks," "Crean sucks" and "Buzz sucks" stuff.

Minor qualm...none of those predictions are all that bold.
Heldt will get 15 minutes of game action this season and while not a world beater will be sufficient to spell Luke, especially on the defensive end
Several other boldish predictions:
-We will finish in the top 50 in defense(adj. efficiency) per KenPom....88 last season
-We will finish in the top 75 in offense(adj. efficiency) per KenPom....116 last season
-We will finish in the top 150 in turnover % per KenPom.....292 last season.

Quote from: Lazar's Headband on October 05, 2016, 11:05:07 AM

No matter how talented Markus is, he is still a freshman and will be prone to the freshman turnover bug that Carter and Haanif suffered through last season. On average we were giving our opponents 5 more possessions a game than an "typical" team last season. If Markus is starting by the end of the season I have to believe it's because our other PG options suck at turning the ball over.

Hmmm ...
Only 10 years ago, Dom James was a freshman PG who went 15-5-5 and was a major factor in Marquette returning to the NCAAs after a two-year absence.
Several freshman PGs have led other teams to the tourney in recent years. And one (Duke's Tyus Jones), helped deliver a national title just two years ago.
I'm not making a bold prediction that Markus will do any of those things, but to dismiss him just because he is a freshman or to say he will have as many TOs as Carter simply because he is a freshman seems presumptuous (and maybe even a little silly).
BTW ... today is Dom's 30th birthday. Happy happy to a true Warrior who was a blast to watch compete!

In no way declaring him a failure, but feel free to ride the hyperbole train in the prediction thread. I'm speaking in probabilities, it is more probable that he will be an average or above average freshmen point then he is to be an outstanding 4 year starter point guard with a minimal of turnovers.
Remember how Traci was all the rage after Italy? I think Traci is great but he certainly what everyone thought he would be last season. Why is Markus more likely to be better than Traci as a freshmen?

So you are assuming if Markus starts it is only because Carter and Rowsey are bad or injured, not because he'll earn it. Ok, you are entitled to your opinion.
I think PG is wide open. Markus will start if he's the best option. Right now I have him 3rd based on experience. He'll have to earn it in practice and games.

Mine was a prediction in a bold prediction thread, not sure how that could be termed hyperbole, but if so I'll own that and retract my snark.
Attached below is a snap shot of the TOrate of MU PGs going back to 2002. Travis especially, but DJ as well were the only two MU point guards to have a TORate of less than 17.5 and do so multiple years. Only Travis did it in his freshman year(splitting time with Cordell).
As a reference Tyus Jones had a 17.4, Grayson Allen 12.3 and 12.9. If anyone has a suggestion as to other freshmen point guards to look up for the last 12 years, let me know.

I was just saying that I inherently disagree with the notion that we won't be in the tournament if Markus is starting us by the year's end, WHEN that includes the statement "No matter how talented Markus is".

That's a fair point...there certain could be a talent level where he isn't prone to the freshman mistakes....so I should have said while talented I don't think he will be talented enough to hit that level as a freshman.

Good point on Vander and the fact that Markus is a very young freshman, but...Vander played on the U18 USA team, Markus was arguably the MVP of the U17s. And he played/starred at Findlay Prep, a national powerhouse high school teams. I don't know how he'll perform, but he absolutely arrives on campus with higher expectations than Traci Carter did.
Going bold :
- Heldt will hang 30 on not one, but two Big East teams this year
- Judges for the slam dunk contest will be a 1997-98 throwback tribute : Bart Miller, Richard Shaw, Marcus West
- There will be a scandal in Buckyville regarding the bathroom at the Gobbler in Johnson Creek
- Sweatervests in 214 will start the wave during the Seton Hall game
- Hauser will do the Hulk Hogan wofting ear listen after an emphatic dunk with 4:52 remaining in the first half @ Creighton.
- Not only will there be a giveaway bobble-upper-torso of Jump Around Guy, but it will also feature his wife sitting next to him laughing. (2-for-1 bargain)

I agree that the expectations are higher for Markus....but that doesn't mean he can meet those expectations.
And his bar is not the expectations Traci had coming to Marquette...his bar is what a sophomore Traci and a junior Rowsey can do now.

03 - think I have figured out our disagreement - you recalled how people were high on Traci after Italy and then wondered "Why is Marcus more likely to be better than Traci as a freshman?" i thought you were saying "why should we expect more from Markus (as a freshman) than we did from Traci (as a freshman)" - not Traci as a sophomore.

First in the three point shooting, third in points and minutes, fourth in assists, and team captain. He wasn't the only reason they won, but he was certainly one of the most important players on the team.

Going bold :
- Heldt will hang 30 on not one, but two Big East teams this year
Well, we do play DePaul twice.

This is silly. You only get 5 fouls in a game, not 30.

Visting with Erin Andrews next week and ESPN.
Would you like me to say hello to her for you MN? Happy to do so, I know she's a big fan of yours.
In the meantime, I'll watch from a far and look forward to you labeling everyone as me, when 99.9999% of them won't be me. Sure, I'll probably drop in from time to time to say hello....watch you get away with the hypocrisy you always have while others don't....lol. At any rate, I'm sure Erin will send her love.

Classic, you're the only member on any forum I know that would get banned and create an account just to log in and name drop. Never stop being you, CBB. I mean that.

Our shooting from distance will successful enough that John Dodds (Scout mod) will refrain from discussing the BC shooting background.

She does that to you too?
I too think we'll make the dance this season so not that bold of a prediction from my vantage point. As for being ranked in the top 25 when heading to it, that's pretty optimistic in my view. Not sure that prediction rises to be the level of "bold" though. It all depends on our secret weapon SACAR ANIM. If he performs as expected him top 25 heading into the dance will be a disappointment. SACAR is the key to our entire season!

Wankers got to wank. It's what they do.
Heldt and Hauser looked good at madness
I think this team has a bunch of talent and COULD be better than a lot of people expect. Obviously the lack of depth in the frontcourt is a problem and we simply don't have enough ways to win for us to have sustained success in our league when we are playing Nova, X, Butler, Creighton, Gergetown, etc. twice each. Last year we were 8-10 in conference and if we get to that this year I'll be pleased. But we won't be in the top 25 or making the dance.
