Where we are at this point in is beyond most everyone's wildest expectations. While I now fully expect to finish the season with 9 straight Ws, in the event that we come back down to Earth and only snag 1 of the 4 remaining games in which we are currently an underdog which do you choose and why? (Incidentally, there is a ~83% prob we win at least 1 and a ~45% prob we win 2 or more - and I think we will win at least two). But if you can only get one, which do you want?

Winning tonight is great because it keeps the streak going and also gives us a sweep over the current BE leader. That said, Prov seems the most likely to get beat up by others in the league so maybe we let them take care of that and be happy with the H-H split.

Beating Nova gives us a sweep against the pre-season BE favorite and puts us in good position vis-a-vis the rest. But then we would really need help from the rest of the league to catch PC and UCONN.

Beating UCONN avoids the sweep and is almost important for keeping us with them for the League lead. They're really the biggest enigma to be in the conference and I'd like to avoid the sweep.

While it would be great to avenge the Creighton loss and avoid the sweep, it doesn't seem like they're going to be in contention for the title and they're the only game that, as of today, is Q1 instead of Q1A. While it would suck to lose to them twice, and this is the game we have the best shot in, I'd trade a W here for one of the other three.

So, barring winning them all (which we will of course) for me it really boils down to Nova or UCONN as the win I'd like the most. I think avoiding the UCONN sweep and getting another Q1-A road win push UCONN to the top for me, but it's really close.

I get your UCONN pick but I went with Nova. As much as I'd love to see us have a chance to be BE champs, I am even more interested in Marquette being noticed by recruits and (future) transfers (and yes, I know that being BE champs will do that). Knocking off Nova twice would give us an aura that would really help with high level recruits and transfers.

Winning tonight?  Is it a doubleheader?  8-)

I picked PC, but I really think we need to beat both PC and Nova to win the Big East.

Tough call.  Go MU!

It's tonight for those of us watching from Ireland!

I only said @Creighton,  because I will be at that game!

UCONN loss to CU yesterday changes this a bit -maybe better to get the sweep against Nova - gotta try to get all those teams to 4 losses!

Since Arby's would only be a Q1 if you dine in (its definitely harder to eat in that ambience), I went with Nova.
