Title: How big is the vandy game
Post by: Marquette4life on November 06, 2016, 08:44:33 PM
How big could the vandy game turn out to be

Probably the same size as any game looks on my television.

What if you buy a new, bigger TV after the Vandy game?  Would that cost us a seed line?

If I moved the projector back, I could probably make it as big as 12'x7', but then my kids' kindergarten pictures will be on the court.

It's the biggest game of the year.

Until Saturday.

At this point, impossible to say. If we go 25-5, it's not that big. If we go 18-12, it's immense. Had we beat Belmont last year, we would have likely gone to the NIT.

Vandy, like us, is expected to be in the hunt for a NCAA berth. Personally, I think losing two NBA picks will be too much for them to weather, but the expectation is still there. Beating a team like this could determine seeding come March or determine inclusion. But at this point, no way to know just how big it is.

One different decision, and 13-14 could have been the team Vander-bilt

On an unrelated bad pun note:

If the voice on your iPhone blamed someone with the skin tone of one  of our presidential candidates for a problem,

Would that be a Siri accuse orangemen.

I think it is really huge and that is the same way I think about the Big East opener against Georgetown. Start out the season (conference) on a positive or start out the season (conference) behind the 8 ball. Losing does not end our chance for success, but it does not bode well and gives us a smaller margin of error.

It's more art than science.  Maybe a little extra study time at Art's will help you out.

I think a win would be big, just for confidence.  As Brew said, depending on how the year shakes out, it could end up being a big game at the end of the season.

I think MU needs to go at a minimum 2-3 against Vandy, Michigan, SMU/PITT, Georgia and Wisconsin.  Losing to Vandy will make that more difficult, so I will go ahead and say its a pretty game as far as lid lifters go.

It's bigly

All kidding aside, the games against Vandy, Michigan and Pitt/SMU are very important as they are likely competition for bubble spots. We lose more than one and it makes the bubble effort that much harder

If we could get 3/4 of 4/4 of those games that would be great

This game is like Trump's feet. Bigger than his hands, but on the other hand (foot??), we'll all be better if we don't hear about it ever again.

Come at me mods

Does Riley Lachance go off on MU?  Hit some of those should-have-recruited-me three pointers?

(Yes, I know it was Bazz and not Wojo, but still)

He'll probably have about 10-12 points and 2-4 assists and rebounds.

Using my Fortran IV programming skills learned at Marquette, I compute that Marquette has a 61.3986% chance of winning this game.  However, that still means that Vandy has a Lachance of winning.
