Who do we match up better against?
Oakland. Horizon league also-rans. We would destroy them.
Oakland. Burns is a large man Judge.
Won't matter if we don't take care of business Sunday.

Exactly. Colorado is better than either of them, that's the only opponent who matters.
I dunno, im kinda liking this skip a game crazy talk.
OAKLAND!
MU will shred Oakland's zone.
If it was Oakland who does Jamal Cain root for?

He got benched at MU and was a star at Oakland.

Averaging 29.9mpg as a senior is a benching? 18.4mpg as a Junior is a benching? 17.2mpg freshman year? You're wayyy too fixated on the tight leash his sophomore year.
On a podcast a teammate mentioned he was got a MU swag bag delivered to his lock and was apparently psyched about receiving MU gear in the mail, rocking it around at practice.

He still posts on Insta about MU. I did ask him on there if this scenario occurred, what would he do, but he never responded.
Shame on the OP. When fans look ahead, they always doom their teams.
The only reason UConn won the national title last season is that their fans never, ever looked ahead. That's just science.
You'd think Marquette fans woulda learned after our loss to Vermont last year.

Upvote!
Colorado. And only Colorado on the mind.
If MU plays JMU, they need to pull Caedin's redshirt so Hamilton can help beat
James Madison.

Right. Maybe he appreciates his time with both programs and he'd view that kind of match-up as a win/win.
But my guess is that he would choose Oakland because the coach he played for there is still around, while the coach he played for at MU isn't.

Jamal and Greg are Detroit metro natives. Got to think roots would get the pull.

so if wojo was still here( blood curdling screams!!) he'd consider MU ?? probably not
now if this were MU vs UVA, Sam would still be leaning MU-he still feels MU was his home
regardless of coaches even though we know his love for wojo was unconditional ;)

Why not? Wojo recruited Jamal. He played four years for him. Wojo started Jamal his entire last year here. Sure there were frustrations, but I never got the sense that Jamal had any ill-will toward Wojo.

My biggest takeaway from this thread is realizing that Cain did indeed play 4 years here. I watched those years like the rest of us, but didn't remember he put in the four years with MU.

Shaka ran Jamal off

And my guess Greg would have left a year earlier in retrospect.
All I care about is the MU game tomorrow. Do not care who we play the rest of the way. One at a time!
What a great game. Both teams present unique challenges.
Neither - horrible matchups as 11 and 14 seeds for a 2 seed.
But immense break to go 15 seed, 10 seed, and 11/14 seed to go the Elite Eight. Have to capitalize!
Daryl Morsell 's younger brother?
Feels like Wojo lost out on Rocket Watts to MSU a decade ago.
How will Oso do vs. that role-poly NC State center?

I kept wondering about that too. Anyone know?

Google says no. Darryl's brother died in childhood. Casey is unrelated.

Well, let us assume Oso is near full strength. Do your defensive work early. Front him.

they didn't go to the same high school but both from the DC / Baltimore area
