The top half of the conference coming up except for Georgetown.
Butler
Villanova
Creighton
Providence
Georgetown
Seton Hall.
They will be ready for us. Let's be ready for them.
Butler:
With a week off to rest and the way the team lost @ Butler they should have no problem with fatigue or motivation. A win against Butler would really solidify Marquettes tournament resume.
Villanova:
Villanova seems vulnerable this year. They play Butler and Seton Hall right before they play Marquette. Hopefully they're softened up a bit. Winnable game.
Creighton:
They got embarrassed by Creighton on the road and the BJs still look like a nightmare matchup for Marquette. That would be a statement game.
Providence:
Providence will be a toughness test.
Nuff said.
Seton Hall:
Seton Hall seems vulnerable right now, just like Villanova. They also have a pretty tough stretch before they play @ Marquette. Very winnable.
A daunting but not insurmountable challenge.
If they take 2 of the next 5 and finish taking 2 of the last 3, I'd be satisfied. 3 of next 5 and I would be very happy.
