Sean McDermott questionable w sprained knee from last game v. Creighton.
(Just noticed you also posted this in BE thread MuMark)
Put it in the other thread. Knowing our luck at Hinkle, I fully expect McDermott to sit the entire game, come off the bench with 30 seconds left, and drain a game winning three.
God that place is a house of horrors, if Marquette wins there this year put me on the Final Four bandwagon.

Exactly. Biggest game of the season.
Don't turn the ball over and win the boards and we'll leave Hinkle with our first win there in the NBE.
High temperature that day is -12. Safe travels for everyone involved.
Hinkle is a house of horrors. Try not to get hurt. If MU steals a win, bonus.

Extremely worried about this game. Despite us being the more talented team, I will always pencil in Hinkle as a loss, until proven otherwise.
House money. 7-1 is incredible and I would have taken 7-2 halfway through the conference season every time. If we win, amazing. Considering our performance to date I won't lose much sleep losing on the road to a team playing their most important remaining game this season.
This is the second road loss I penciled in. We're the only Big East team that hasn't won at Hinkle since the reformation. Love to leave that club of one and be proven wrong.

Butler will most likely be the favorite in this game.
MU has nothing to lose Wednesday night. If MU loses, zero big deal. They'll be a one or two seed in the BE tournament. If they fall, they still have two games with Nova. After returning from Indianapolis Wednesday night, MU will go three weeks before making another plane ride. That is fantastic to not have additional wear and tear to go through this time of year.
They're 18-3, cashed another check this afternoon, more money in the bank. This is a great ride that isn't ending soon, I'm enjoying every minute of it. Save any angst for the third week of March.

Lets get a W on Wednesday.
Needed to win one of the two road games. Got that done already. If they lose who cares. Come home hungry and get on another roll with big home games vs SJU and Nova. We are going to lose more games this year. With a seven game win streak this is a reasonable spot for a lose.
Need to win. We need to get through the BEAST regular season with only 2 more losses, and @Nova is likely one of the two. losing to a "bottom half" team like Butler - even away - is not good.
Finish the BEAST regular season in first place, who cares what happens in the conference tournament, and we're still at least a 3 seed in the big dance, maybe the bottom 2 seed because that will be the excuse to send us west (like they always do).

Pretty remarkable that 8 out of 10 teams are sub-.500 in conference. Not sure I have ever seen that before.
Butler will give us their very best in the House of Horrors.
We've got this. :)
Butler is not as good as they have been in the past, if McDermott is not playing that is huge. Sacar can guard Baldwin and get some help if he blows by him. Without
Martin And Weidemann they are now just an average team. Lots of decent players but not anyone that will go off in my estimation. MU just played there best game of
the year and X played there best game of the year, by far. MU has to many weapons, should beat Butler. Thompson at times is so limited on the O end, they play 4 on
5. Can put Markus on him, and all he has to do is stay in front of him. Not a tough assignment. Just do not get off to a bad start.
Doesn't matter how talented Butler is or isn't. It's still Hinkle.

Good thing we have the House of Hausers. And the House of Howard.
If you look at the Sagarin numbers Butler will be favored to 1 to 1.5 points. Admittedly not considering any Butler injuries.
This and Nova are our toughest road games remaining.
Edit: re-looked at numbers.

And got my tickets already. Went when MU played there 3 years ago, and it was a one point game at half. And then ...not so much.
But it was a great place to watch a game-you feel right on top of the court. Though definitely lonely- I had the only gold sweatshirt (no vest) other than behind the MU bench. Looking forward to seeing the "new" Pavillion. Then my daughter (who is a senior at Nova) will be coming to MU for the Nova game to see Fiserv for the first time. We are 1-5 in her 3 years; I'd like to see it at 3-5 or 4-5 by season's end.

This is where I am. Who gives a crap about rankings or NCAA tournament seed? That stuff is in some ways out of our control as a committee is going to decide it. There's something in front of us that we can win. The Big regular season championship. I want that. To get that, we can't afford to lose Wednesday.

Good question. I know we were dogs in our 3 losses. I think we were dogs at Creighton. I think we were favorites in every other game, though slight favorites in a lot of them. So I guess Vegas predicted 17-4 and without a miracle in Omaha they would be right.

Hmm...I think they'd be better off losing to us. If we win, we could become a Q1A game, but if we lose that and a few more we could fall out of Q1 altogether. Better to just roll over, for SOS sake 😄

Championship blue is the baby blue. I think they only wore the grays (like Markus is wearing to the left in the SOTG banner) for a couple games in 16-17, but I could be mistaken.
Also - I could be making this up, but didn't someone track what color jersey's MU had worn going back a bunch of years? Now I am curious to know for sure when the last time they wore those grays was, and if MU hasn't worn baby blue yet this season.

I believe that the grey's were only worn during the first year after the design change, because we had 5 that year. Navy, white, gold, "Championship Blue" (baby blue), and a teal set that they only wore for the "Native American Awareness" game, or whatever the official title was. The grey and teal were dropped at the end of the year. I don't known when the last time we wore the championship blue, but I don't remember seeing it this year yet.

6 sets tho, right? Navy, white, yellow, baby blue, gray and teal.
But yah, they wore the grays ones a handful of times in 16-17 season (Markus and Sam's freshman year). I don't believe they were worn last season at all, and definitely haven't been worn this season.
