Not sure if there was a thread on this already but if so couldn't find it.
So far off top of my head there is the Badgers game at Fiserv and the neutral site game vs Georgia in the Bahamas.
Rothstein just announced this is the final year of the Big East/Big 12 Battle.. hope we aren't on the path to having to have an annual battle vs the Mountain West or other non P-6 conference:
https://x.com/jonrothstein/status/1778053239805546564?s=46&t=5FASZRHgruhjFLVJKu-4pQ

Starting next year, there is no P6. If you remove the B12 and B10, and the SEC is already tied to both the ACC and B10, that really only leaves the ACC or (I guess) Mountain West.
After that, it's probably the A-10 or WCC as the next most desirable, and frankly, I don't think either are very desirable. I'd tier our challenge options as...
1. ACC
<Big Gap>
2. Mountain West
<Mammoth Gap>

With the proliferation of mega leagues, non-conference scheduling is going to be more difficult, imo.
We're going to get to the point where Marquette can't duck UWM anymore

Or Dayton, or SLU
Hopefully they can keep the series with ND going.
I would also be open to home-home series with old foes like Louisville, Cinci, Pitt, Cuse, WVU.

They are waiting for the TV networks for their own conference.
And there really is no need for a conference v. conference type challenge any longer. Just schedule the best you can.
I don't think there's anything to gain for the league to do a challenge with the MWC. Good league but really a no win for the BE.
MU does a good job with their scheduling and think that'll continue. Thought the Georgia game in the Bahamas was a creative idea.

I believe the B12 is an ESPN asset. That makes sense if so. The BE v B12 never got much traction. I don't see this moving the needle. One game a year you can't control. Maybe a net positive for a program like MU.
Gonzaga anyone?

That one is off the table. ND started a series with Georgetown and wasn't interested in continuing things with Marquette. Maybe it could come back in the future, but the sense I get is that they don't want to get embarrassed twice a year and were not a willing party in continuing to sign up for annual ass-kickings.
I wouldn't say that Gavitt games or the BE/B12 battle are done forever, yet. There's a lot of moving pieces at the moment with so many teams moving between the Power 4. I think once things are settled and these conferences have figured out how their conference schedules are going to work, you may see these challenges resume

From a Marquette perspective(and other higher profile programs in the BE), you might be right but some of the teams in the conference struggle to get quality non-con opponents outside of these series. That's not just my opinion either, but people within Marquette's program as well.
Just book bad teams and beat them by 40 and we'll get more teams in the Tournament.

Any news on the teams for the MTE tournament in Milwaukee to go with the one in the Bahamas? I had heard some gossip of the Badgers, UWGB, UWM, MU in Wisconsin's version of the Big 5 bandied about but Wisconsin just signed up for the Greenbrier. Or is MU angling for the NIL tournament in Vegas?

Is less ideal because we've played them

We're complaining about setting up a H/H series with one of the better programs in the country over at least the last decade? We play UW every year. We used to play Notre Dame every year. I see no downside to this becoming an annual game now that ND isn't happening again for the foreseeable future.
OSU and Michigan stink. Those would be games where we had better cover the spread, otherwise there is no benefit to playing them.
That's another benefit to focusing on player retention and continuity, Marquette is able to schedule these games because from Purdue's perspective, they a get a high-quality opponent that is NOT going to try to steal all your players. Can't say the same for many, many other options!

Not only that, but it also shows the respect Purdue has for Marquette's program. I think we all can acknowledge where Purdue stands in the current NCAA landscape as one of the top-10 programs in the sport, but not just agreeing to this but starting it at Marquette indicates we're a peer. There have been very few H/Hs in the past 15-20 years that started on our court. This is definitely a positive sign that we aren't just an opponent, but a peer.

Very likely to be a Q1 if not Q1A game.
Marquette used to play Northwestern pretty regularly - the teams met 4 times in the 1970s and 4 more times in the 1980s. But now they haven't played each other in 30 years.
Given the proximity of the schools, and now that Northwestern seems to be able to at least compete in the sport, I'd like to see them play a home-and-home series - or maybe meet in some kind of United Center college basketball showcase.

Doing research on Stony Brook 2024-25 projections and I think we have a lot to be worried about with this one. Matchup nightmare. Could be the second buy game loss in as many seasons after St. Thomas in 2023.
Deep dive coming soon.
You forgot to include our loss to Radford 2 seasons ago.
Stony Brook? WTH?!?!? MU is doomed if they have to play cupcakes without having picked up any players from the portal!!!!! What are they thinking?!?!?!?!?

How much more cowardly can we be in our scheduling to not get in this event? Dodging an obvious loss to UWM and what would be our second straight to St Thomas.
The gap between us and UConn continues to grow.
What else do you want? We already have a game with Ben's second choice, Stony Brick!

Actually, I think we got aced out of the event because there is already one Big East team in the field. Maybe next year?

No clue on info. Likely to be buy level games. Duke and Kentucky each did this last season with 3 games over a week or so. Don't expect marquee games.

Yeah.....NC Central or Elon or Furman on a Tuesday night...how will I get over it?
If it's true were hosting and MTE, we're getting extra home games this season so sacrificing one isn't really an issue.

MU playing Georgia Nov 23 in the Bahamas then they'd just have to wait til Nov 27 to play in the Atlantis field. Players get some awesome vacation days in between. Seems like an easy decision for both sides if they are looking for another Big East team to replace Creighton

It was Andy Katz and yes he said another Big 10 opponent will be played on the road......MU has been playing 2 high major road games in the non conference as of late so this makes sense.
Hope it's Ohio State, Michigan, or Michigan State. Or one of the 4 west coast teams.
Nevermind, Andy Katz says the road game is likely at Maryland, and that MU and NC State are trying to set up a matchup. Not sure of location.
https://x.com/theandykatz/status/1790513665491280321?s=46&t=5FASZRHgruhjFLVJKu-4pQ
Rumor is the Maryland matchup is a home and home with a return trip in Milwaukee 2025
So that's at Maryland, at Iowa State, home vs. Wisconsin, home vs. Purdue, neutral with Georgia, and possibly vs. NC State? Will be tested going into the BE season.

Living in Virginia, the Maryland game in College Park is great news for my wife and me. Our yearly "ration" of games we can easily drive to has been the Georgetown game. I know VCU is not a school that Scoopers want for BE expansion, but simply for ulterior reasons, I would love it.

Last year we had 3 in hawaii, at wisco and illinois, vs Texas. So 6 big boy games there as well.

A&S at Dulles is awesome! Went for first time ia few months ago - always something new to see in DC.
Also, I'm thinking the NC state might be a neutral court 1 off attempt like Georgia.
With Wisco, Maryland and Purdue all being guaranteed for following season plus a MTE. Might not have much room for another nc state round
Maryland confirmed.

I like this - this can end up being a tougher non con than last year since Texas, UCLA and Kansas did not meet expectations from the pre season.
This also sets up 2025-2026 games - Purdue, Wisconsin and Maryland - add a MTE to that (hopefully battle 4 Atlantis) and one SEC/Big 12 team and the next 2 years of non con are pretty damn strong.

23-24 Purdue >>>>>> 24-25 Purdue (especially considering neutral vs. home game)
23-24 Wisconsin >> 24-25 Wisconsin (although flipping this from a road to a home game)

Last year's non conference high major games was pretty significantly better than what this year will be, which just goes to show how good last year's schedule was. The quality of the buy games could make this year's non-con more useful though.

I haven't had time to turn the transcript into an article yet, but I can also confirm via an interview with Broeker that Marquette is planning to host a 3-game MTE at home. No additional details, and it isn't announced because they are still finalizing details (and who knows if Creighton dropping out of Atlantis could change plans) but he did give me that last week.

It feels like Atlantis would make the most sense given that the team will already be there. But I also don't know what is going on behind the scenes.

Could this other high major opponent be part of the MTE? For instance, we host two "buy games" and then NC State, with those two buy opponents then playing at NC State as well? And then next year NC State hosts something similar.

Multi-Team Event. Any tournament like Maui, Atlantis, Orlando, PK85, Empire Classic are all MTEs. For reference to what Marquette's might look like, check the schedules for Duke (Blue Devil Challenge), Kentucky (Wildcat Challenge), and Nebraska (Cornhusker Classic).

Almost certainly not. I asked about that, but MTE rules require 75% of the teams to be different year-to-year. If we did it with two buy level games and NC State, then only 50% of the teams would change the following year. It would have to be a full eight-team field to do that.

Cite the Bylaw? Maybe something is changing for 2024-25 (or beyond), but 17.4.5.1.1 says otherwise.
To get a little more technical, we're talking about Qualifying Regular-Season Multiple-Team Events (QRSMTE).
Per 17.4.5.1.1 (c), Participation is limited, by conference, to one team per conference and, by institution, to not more than once in the same event in any four-year period.
As to Sultan's question, there may be a path to making it a 'different' MTE next season, with us and NC State both involved... the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Oversight Committee did issue a Q&A on 17.4.5.1.1 last summer, and it gets into the considerations that may become relevant when determining if the MTE is 'different' for purposes of the 'no, no – not the same event'.
So anyway.. there are probably hangups regardless when it comes to Sultan's question, but the idea that there can be repeats in the same event year over year I believe is incorrect.
As last year's Q&A states, "it is not permissible for the event to be conducted by the same event operator, in the same venue or advertised under the same name as the previous year's event (i.e., listed on the team's schedule)".
Again, if the rule has changed for this year, I take everything I said back. PS- there been talking about this MU "run" QRSMTE in 2024-25 for ages. Wonder why the delays... just getting signatures, or wanting to keep our options open?

Marquette Challenge dates made official. I added this to my first post in this thread.
We have 3 games left to be announced. Looking at the calendar, I expect...
- Nov 25-27: Either a high profile neutral site game (
NC State?) or a buy game at home.
- Nov 30-Dec 1: Home buy game after a few days Thanksgiving break for the players.
- Dec 14-15: Home buy game after finals as last tuneup before Big East play starts that week.

Good find, I updated the second post. I can also confirm the NC State neutral site game is not happening. Leaves one open spot on the calendar.
If we get another game, it will likely be between finals and Big East play, so Dec 13-17. Or they could get creative and look at something in season.

Perfect opportunity to lose another game to St. Thomas in December.

Only a 3 hour drive from Detroit. I'll be in the house with some fellow MU alums
Why are we playing a home-and-home with a mid-major? Ew.
Quality, likely Quad 1 opponent.
I don't believe Anthony Grant and Shaka ever served on a staff with one another, but they both coached under Billy Donovan at Florida and Shaka, of course, took over for Grant when he left VCU for Alabama.
Dammit, UD Pride is down for maintenance so we can't see their priceless reaction to this.
Quality opponent, though wish it was just a neutral in Chicago or something.

Incredibly dumb and wasted a major opponent slot for next year too.
Broker just lost his dream as the full time AD with this move and the stupid move of not putting us in a Thanksgiving tournament with real teams.
Our schedule will be mediocre now and on par with Gonzaga who are least smart enough to get major opponents to offset their crappy conference games.

Of course, this is wrong.
We have five projected Quad 1 games - three on the road (Dayton, Maryland, Iowa State), one neutral (Georgia) and one at home (Purdue)
Wisconsin at home is barely Quad 2 right now and could sneak into Quad 1.
That is a fantastic non-conference schedule.

Hah, I said something similar in a group chat. Watch them win at Hilton and lose to this version of UW.
Marquette's hands were likely tied on this one when the NC State game fell through. Look at the calendar. Starting November 4th, we don't have more than 3 days off between games until December 7th. No chance they were scheduling a game during Finals Week, so that means they had a likely 3-day window between Friday, December 13th and Sunday, December 15th to schedule an additional game.
I have no doubt they exhausted every high major possibility and every neutral site option during that time. Ultimately, they were likely stuck with either a buy game (not ideal because they already have 5 buy level games with the home MTE) or taking an H/H with a program a step below what they would prefer. I wouldn't blame this one on Marquette, blame it on Kevin Keatts.
Dayton is a POS University/Alumni/City. Toilet bowl of Ohio.
Lest we not forget when they "tried' to control Great Midwest Conference when they had the "home play-off" championship year after year after year.....Including making all decisions on the whole end of year tournament to favor themselves.....
Never forget......Scum is scum.....Corrupt is Corrupt.....

With all of that in mind, couldn't Marquette simply have "bought" Dayton, rather than an H and H??
I routinely check UD Pride ( but have NEVER posted there) and I know as well as anyone that they are obsessed with the Big East and even more obsessed with MU ( among other reasons, they are convinced that MU, in cahoots with Xavier, blackballed them from BE membership back in 2013).
I think Dayton would have agreed to play MU, or just about any other BE team, on any terms presented to them.

The Jesuit mafia conspiracy is my favorite Dayton conspiracy. I to have read their forum maybe one or twice a season if I catch a Dayton game on tv. The conspiracy is pretty valid for how Creighton got in but the idea that Xavier, who was leaps and bounds better back then, got in because GTown us and Creighton and that four of us are going to force the conference to add SLU, LU-C or Zags over them again.
All jokes aside, Dayton is a fine opponent and would be fine in the Big East if it came about. It's much funnier keeping them out but at least they care about hoops which is more than we can say about DePaul

No, I don't think there's any chance of that. Especially not for a team they previously shared a conference with. In the past few years, they've had home-and-homes with Northwestern, Virginia Tech, and Ole Miss, so it's not like getting a high-major into their gym isn't something they are doing regularly. I would say we are certainly their biggest get, but this isn't a program like Buffalo that we happened to get at the exact right time.
I know there's some fan antipathy toward Dayton, but I would say this is a very solid get considering the constraints Marquette was under to put a quality opponent into this slot. It's a likely Q1 road game against a mid-major title contender. They will likely enter the game with a 20+ game home court winning streak. It's one more chance to beat Posh Alexander. And ultimately, we're going to win in a hostile environment and break their Flyer hearts. I'll take all of that.

huh? Considering they were only in the GMC for two years and never hosted the tourney I'm not sure what your source for this unhinged version of GMC history is. Perhaps you are confusing them with Louisville who was supposed to be a charter member of the GMC but demanded the conference office be there and they host the tourney every year.
The following were the locations of the GMC men's basketball tournament.
1992: Chicago Stadium; Chicago, Illinois
1993: The Pyramid; Memphis, Tennessee
1994: Shoemaker Center; Cincinnati, Ohio
1995: Bradley Center; Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Yeah, it was in the MCC where Dayton hosted the league tourney 3 years in a row.
That conference tourney was a lot of fun, but yes, huge home court advantage for Dayton. The conference actually had sneaky good talent in 1990 with several future pros: Tony Smith of MU, Tyrone Hill, Derek Strong and Aaron Williams of X, Negele Knight from Dayton, Anthony Bonner of St. Louis and possibly one or two others I can't recall. Dayton upset X in a thriller in the championship after X had won several conf tourneys in a row. The ghetto was insane that night.
Kevin O'Neill did not try to hide how pissed he was about Dayton's home court advantage. MU wasn't long for the MCC from the get go.
The MCC sucked. It was a terrible decision by the administration.
It was first step in a time where dropping to D2 was still being discussed. It wasn't great, but it was a start.
They could have just stayed independent, like DePaul and Notre Dame, until the GMC came around.
It turned out ok.
Yep.
I'm not holding a grudge against Dayton for any real or imagined sins, but I always feel compelled to chime in with a hearty "no thanks" when their Big East membership is discussed.

If it would have happened, it would have been prior to the new media deal. So it's just not happening.
I sat with an administrator at some function in 2003. He told me Crean was so angry at Dayton after the game there, that MU would never do that again. Took 21 years to forget, I guess.

Well to be fair Shaka was the video assistant? or low ranking assistant on the other side. My neighbor went to OSU but has told me that Shaka was the coach who was helping him park his car on his recruiting visit to UD.

I was at that game, it was the day after OSU upset Miami for the national title and a good number of fans were wearing Buckeyes gear. We lost in OT, and had a chance to win at the end of regulation after Dayton tied it up at the line (maybe that's what Crean was mad about). It was a great atmosphere and even though it was over break the student section was packed and loud. Dayton was very good team that year, they made the tourney that year and again the next year.
I'm not sure who is more bitter at us for being left out of the Big East, UD, or SLU. Unfortunately, we lost our last games to each of them.
20-14 all time against Dayton. I guess I thought it was more of a traditional rival when both schools were independent. Thought we would have played them more.
Dayton got the homiest of home whistles that night.
I also think that was a 2 for 1 series, and Brian Gregory backed out of the second game in MKE which pissed Crean off. They had to schedule a D2 team to fill the spot last minute.
I assumed the same. Surprised the first meeting was in the late 80's. I thought two Midwest, Catholic, Independent schools would have matched up much earlier

if this is coming from Gomarquette.com it may not be accurate (it says we didn't play DePaul until 1989 and Bucky until 1988). Per the Dayton Daily News, we did play them twice in 1966 and 1968, but not again until 1980.

Yes. I was there as well. I remember Wade taking the ball baseline, took one dribble, "knocking over" their 250# power forward for a charge late in the game. Anyone know if they have the Freeway wannabe band director?

I know it's offensive to assume that all Dayton fans know each other, but we've always wondered the identity of this guy: https://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=34539.msg422884#msg422884 Do you happen to recognize him?

Dayton got the homiest of home whistles that night.
I also think that was a 2 for 1 series, and Brian Gregory backed out of the second game in MKE which pissed Crean off. They had to schedule a D2 team to fill the spot last minute.
That was about right for Crean, a
D2 team. One great thing about Crean, that Final 4 team brings back memories, but ugh against Kansas.

This is not meant as a dis of anyone who proudly wore the Blue and Gold, but many of the games which compiled that record occurred when MU started guys like Grosse, Nethen, Candelino, Leurck, and Flory.
Both sides of my family are from there or near there. I was born near there and lived there in my early years. My sister and her husband attended UD. I have hung out with many of their friends and fellow Flyer alum. My high school had many Marianist priests and brothers from UD. There are more Dayton alum than MU alum in my parish and attached to both Catholic high schools my children attended. I have never had an interaction with any of them where I thought 'what an a-hole'.
UD has the exact profile the Big East is looking for from a size, history, fanbase perspective. The only downside is it is in Dayton.

They were ranked when Marquette played them, very experienced, but dealt with injuries and COVID issues during the season. It wasn't a terrible loss. And by the end of the year, Marquette was the better team.

So how difficult will it be to get tickets for the Wisconsin game?
If those who follow this stuff had to guess, how much do you think 2-4 tickets will go for?
Depends on where you want to sit. Probably around $80-100 to get in the door, going up to $300-400 if you want to get closer in the lowers.

For as far back as I can remember they open up single game ticket sales to season ticket holders only for about a week before they're made available to the general public. So if you know someone in the Milwaukee area who is a season ticket holder, have him keep his eyes and ears open for the announcement and have him physically go down to the MU ticket office on Day 1 and he'll be able to buy 2 or 4 uppers at a "marquee game" face value. Probably. The only thing that makes this a little dicey for the UW game is that they tend to hold back a lot of these UW tickets to sell as part of 5-game packs, etc.
Thanks Dtd and brew. Still don't know yet if I'll be able to get to the Midwest that weekend ... but if I do, I sure want to go to that game.
I think the last MU-UW game I attended was one in Madison where we fell behind big and rallied to make it close on a bunch of shots by Wardle and Cliff, only to lose in the end. Maybe 1999 or 2000?
Too damn long. I want to be there when we kick their arses!
Dayton is a fine school for kids who can't get into college. It's like Iowa but without bad football.

you may be thinking of our first trip to the Kohl Center, in 1999, as we play in Madison in odd numbered years. We lost that game by 12 after cutting the lead to 7, In 2001 we went into Kohl undefeated and fell behind big when Wade got into early foul trouble. The boys cut it to single digits but lost by 13.
Any word on when Dayton tickets go on sale?

adding the PA program was a brilliant move on MU's part as it's a major that is in high demand and continuing the grow. The move of the Nursing/PA school from Clark to Straz is a big one for the future of the program.
Most schools have long stopped caring about acceptance rate. They would much rather efficiently target students for enrollment and not waste time and money reviewing apps that don't make the cut.

Who are these schools that stopped caring? Schools like Northeastern have essentially gamed the system to drive its acceptance rate (6%) below some Ivies in an attempt to raise its profile.
Fair or (mostly) unfair, admission rate connotes quality in the rankings and this is where Marquette (87%), Xavier (84%), and Butler (82%) have a problem combatting this.

Not only does it connote quality in the rankings it also attracts higher level applicants.
Schools that have stopped caring about acceptance rates are more often than not focused on trying to just get more students who will pay tuition. Right now statistically we're the easiest Big East school to get into. Anecdotally, I can say the reason I did not apply to Xavier back in the 90s is their acceptance rate was higher than MU's and my dad said to hold off on seeing if I got into MU.
Any word on numbers for the incoming class this academic year?
My daughter used to be the Asst. Admissions Director for a fairly elite school in the Wash DC area and she always told me that applicants are first divided into four tiers: 1) those who can pay the full load and are seeking no financial assistance (almost always foreign applicants); 2) kids of alum; 3) those with truly stellar academic records but require financial assistance; 4) everyone else. Then the selection process starts. Applicants from tier 1 are shoo-ins, those from tier 2 are in if they have minimally acceptable academic records, and then tier 3 eats up the remaining places. The biggest group, she said, was always tier 4.

Marquette? Very strong. Both quantity and quality. Focused recruiting in areas where they are traditionally strong. More efficient and less bullsh*t.
The fact that you admitted you didn't look at a school because their acceptance rate is something you probably shouldn't admit publicly.

My dad compared MU and X and the admissions stats (rate, GPA, and ACT/SAT ranges) and said "wait to see if you get int Marquette, it's a better school with higher caliber students. What's wrong with that?

Because acceptance rate has nothing to do if a school is better or not. So I hope Marquette's marketing doesn't send that message - it's dishonest.

That's weird. US News removed admission rate from their calculations of University rankings back in something like 2018, because it is a stupid metric that has nothing to do with the quality of the institution.
So it hasn't been part of the "system" for 7-years. You'd think schools like Northeastern would have learned that the system changed.

While not part of US News' rankings, it is a factor that gets attention in admissions as a whole because it skews the admissions process. An unnaturally low accept rate drives more applicants into early decision, which is a binding offer of admission. This helps a school fill a large amount of the class early when their overall accept rates may be higher and yields lower in regular decision versus other schools. This trend (not necessarily Northeastern) also puts pressure on non-binding early programs like Marquette which could lose candidates who feel the need to apply early to a school with a binding program because it is the only way they'll get in.

It is indeed dumb... but it does speak to the old annoying "perception is reality" BS. Fact is, a lot of people denote acceptance rate as an important aspect of quality of a school and/or it's exclusivity. They just don't know what they don't know. There are plenty of people who think less of MU because of the high acceptance rate because they don't understand their recruitment model, despite very strong output performance (graduation rates, job placement, average salary, etc.).

My dad compared MU and X and the admissions stats (rate, GPA, and ACT/SAT ranges) and said "wait to see if you get into Marquette, it's a better school with higher caliber students.
Your father is a wise man.

I thought I read that the academic profiles of the students admitted to MU is increasing. Maybe they are doing a good job of targeting high caliber students that will come into MU.
I agree, but more importantly, so do the professional analysts who calculate and compile the Niche.com college rankings.

I guess the BE should invite Dayton so that we can improve the conference. Afterall, the strong showing from the European teams in the Olympics was credited by some as a result of their playing a "more intelligent" style of basketball. Dayton could be a big help to the rest of the teams not named Georgetown in showing us how to do this.

This is the guy from Holylandofhoops who turned every thread into a Dayton thread so mods literally consolidated him to his own threads.

He picks and chooses data to support arguments and ignores anything that doesn't mesh. Not argue legitimacy or opinion literally just ignore, he is incapable of drawing a logical conclusion from various sources more of a selective encyclopedia. Like if you asked AI to prove why Dayton is better than various big east schools. next he'll respond with endowments or number of sell out games as data points to make Dayton seem superior.
Go to holylandofhoops like 5yrs ago to see his responses.
We don't have any posters like this.
He fits right in. Thanks for stopping by.

Badgers picked for 12th in the Big 10-12-14-18. No player even receiving a an honorable mention vote for all conference. Should be an easy win this year for the Warriors...

Yep....2 NBA players last year against a down Vadger squad....easy win.
I think we've been predicting the Badgers demise annually since Bennett was there. They've been to 23 of the last 25 NCAA Tournaments and would've made it in 2020 had we had a tournament. I expect they'll make it 24 of 26 thought I'd be happy to be wrong.

Yep. I think they'll be better than last year, especially if Freitag is as good as they think.
MU needs to beat them though. I'm tired of superior MU teams looking like ass against them.

This. I taunted my Badger grad friends when Bennett retired, so much for that. They're like roaches, you can't kill them and some random dude always steps up to become an unexpected stud for them. But, I think they're going to have a more uphill climb this season.

That's right up there with expecting too much from the freshmen.
I'm hopeful they will be forced to allocate NIL $ to football and basketball will suffer.

I remember some MU fans claiming Shaka's seat will warm up if he doesn't start beating Wisconsin.
If Shaka keeps getting 2 seeds and losing to Wisconsin, he'll be okay, I think.
This game will be a loss

Sorry, didn't notice the list was Since 1949-50, so you're probably right. I'm not super worried about games before the 1949-50 season. Or a number of years more recently than that, either.

What is our record against UW, since McGuire retired?
I think it is 20-27
If I'm reading correctly, Al and Hank combined to go 23-5 against Wisconsin. All other coaches have combined to go 26-66.

Did any STH get the mini plan link this morning? Was supposed to be ready by 10.

Got it right after I posted it. $247 for 3 games is the cheapest in the upper level. Good for MU if they can sell these. But if you are a normal human, just spend the extra $100 and get full season in a little worse section...

Considering MU sold the most season tickets of all time, I do not think many seats for UW and UConn will make it to the public. I think the STH will gobble them up before the general public has a chance.

Much cheaper than singles. Plus, 2/3 of each plan is a Friday/Saturday top game.
LOL, it's so on brand for Scoopers to want Marquette to be a perennial power, and then complain about the ticket prices.

Not sure on that. Besides Wisconsin and UConn, I think you can find cheaper than $125 downstairs, especially closer to the game on the secondary.

I think you will be correct....
Purchase a mini plan and you'll have the opportunity to be a part of a pre-sale for single game tickets on Monday, October 28 for the match up's against Wisconsin on December 7 and UConn (National Marquette Day) on February 1.

I'm sure you could find something lower on the secondary market.
Also, I'm sure that " bonus game" is factored in on the mini plan price.
Going to the Maryland game and was a little perplexed at the lower prices currently ($300-400). Was expecting that to be an easier ticket but hopefully goes down over time as more inventory gets added.

I'm going to and my buddy who I put in charge of tickets said he's seeing decent ones for around $80. He said secondary market but maybe he's way off

Not to worry. I signed up to MUScoop this morning, in the event that an opportunity to present relevant factual information of interest to Marquette fans might arise. It has. I won't be posting here again until gameday (December 14, 2024). [/size] If Marquette wins, I'll certainly show up again to congratulate you on your road victory. If Dayton wins, I won't be posting until gameday @ Marquette 2025, and only to wish Marquette 'good luck'.

I wish we had more earlier games as well. My kids are 3 and 6, so they can't do 8pm games and the WI and UConn games I'll have more hard core fans with me, which only leaves 3 games they can go to. We also have a family friend who is a big Marquette fan that would love to go, but she's older and lives out in the boonies so doesn't want to attend an 8pm game and will be taking this year off from attending.
No skin off the school/team's back here and there's a lot of demand for tickets so no big deal there... but unfortunate in our personal situation that a few people won't go as often/at all this year. Hoping for some better time slots next year is all we can do.
Yeah, this would have been nice to know before we bought an extra ticket for our oldest this year. 8:00 is when we're starting the bedtime routine, so it would really be pushing it to take her to the games.
My hope is that with games on other networks next year, there will be a bit more flexibility with the start times.

Same ages for me. And I share a season ticket package with a buddy
whose kids are about the same age. There's just not enough reasonably timed games for us each to have a daddy-daughter or daddy-son trip with each of our 4 combined kids. And with the games so late it feels silly to hire a babysitter who will mostly just be watching TV while the kids sleep, so the wives may not get a chance to go either.
My four year old goes to 8pm games. Not all of them. But one or two a season. I used to go to late night games when I was a kid. Don't get me wrong, I understand why parents are hesitant to do it, but I loved those late night games as a kid. Some of my best memories with my dad. I hope my daughter feels the same way. She certainly loves thems in the moment (right up until the snacks run out).
Selfishly, I like the 8:00 PM start as I come from the Rockford area and don't have to leave work early.
Flip side, I did get an extra ticket this year for my son to attend which won't be very often it appears.

I'm pretty disappointed by this.
Surely the athletic department is not trying to inconvenience fans this year, but what's the deal... is there a big drive for cost savings behind the scenes, is it new or short staffing issues, is it trying to find some new revenue , what??
What with the ticket sale changes, no season parking passes, Flo sports televising this game, late or missing communications from the ticket office, no concessions at open practice (yeah I brought that up!), etc there's got to be something going on, right??

I think the reasoning behind this game was to have a fun trip since there was no MTE. In terms of the TV, well, that's an issue they have limited influence on. Since it's a neutral court game there were no existing agreements in place to air it (like FS1, or SEC Network) and since it starts at 11 ET no one has space for it with college football starting at noon.
It stinks, and since Georgia plays Sunday against St. John's, moving the game isn't an option.

It was always somewhat of a head scratcher having a one off neutral court game in the Bahamas, but then to not secure any reasonable way to televise the game is unacceptable. Can't imagine this is what they had planned for when setting up this game.

I'm sure Mike is a good guy and not a total dope... however he's been affiliated with too many head scratching decisions thus far. Marquette deserves a dynamic leadership team in place to help maximize our strong hand in an uncertain future!
Pulling out is a sin!

Any relation to Flo from Progressive?
Flosports? And it'll cost $30 to watch the game? Embarrassing!
Between the 4 peacock games, the Iowa State game on ESPN+ and this Georgia debacle, this will be the least available the MU games will be in 15+ years. I'll make it happen, but it's annoying AF.

This is life in 2024. It's not just MU, it's everyone. NFL Christmas is paywall'd. We embarrass ourselves as MU Grads when we act like our athletic department is failing us. They are working within the market given to them. You want the Big East to get more TV money? Better expect streaming. That's life.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going, aina?
I get that streaming is just part of the deal these days. I don't have a problem with that. But I think its ridiculous that they schedule a high major game at a neutral site outside of those contracts. And I'm not paying $30 for that nonsense.
Oh well, I will just watch college football instead.

Is it life? Sure. Doesn't mean it's not annoying and stupid. There is no reason for a high major neutral court game to me on Flo frickin sports for a $30 one time stream. I can deal with Peacock and ESPN+, but I don't have to like it. I pay through the nose for a cable package to get FS1, FS2 and CBSSN. The games should be on those channels as they historically have.
Can't even go to a bar to watch the MU vs. Georgia game.
Quote from: MuggsyB on November 09, 2024, 12:30:01 PMReally? WTF?
I'd be pretty surprised if many bars subscribed to Flo Sports. It's an awful streaming service.
If everyone on Scoop throws in a couple bucks, I'm sure we could send a student to the game to set up a private Scoop Feed for us.
Quote from: MuggsyB on November 09, 2024, 12:30:01 PMReally? WTF?
Why are you surprised by this haha
The game is only on Flo sports
I'd bet a kidney no zero bars naturally have that service.
Maybe some bars around Milwaukee will pony up strictly for the game. But that's it

Marquette chose this game on this date instead of playing in a traditional MTE, it wasn't forced on them. I think everyone agrees streaming is apart of the media landscape in 2024 and I think reasonable people would agree that the Athletic Department does a good enough job. But that's not why people are annoyed. It's that Marquette chose to play a neutral court game in the Bahamas up against both college football AND established MTEs instead of just playing in a MTE themselves. Of course they weren't going to get a decent media deal given the competition they are up against.

Little over a week out from our game with Purdue. Tough turn around for a leg injury requiring more testing.
May have 1 Purude 7 foot to not have to deal with.
They do have a 2nd one tho. Plus TKR who is a load

Just saw where PURDUE's FR 7'4" center got tangled up with Keeyan Itijere and injured his leg. Just had surgery and apparently will be out for the season.
Why's everyone upset about flosports? Anyone who truly cares about MU would have subscribed to support our other sports teams.
It's expensive but 3 months a year to watch the WVB and other teams when they're good plus Connaught rugby is worth it.

Almost all of MU volleyball's matches worth watching (see: most of their non-conference matches and their 2 Creighton matches) are streamed by something much better than Flo Sports or on FS1. The Flo Sports streaming, at least for volleyball, is a horrible product.

They usually announce them all at one go for the next three year, but the vegas tournament threw a wrentch into things.

I'm sure this is foreign for most of us but I'll dive in.
Imagine spending 30 bucks and getting the product we saw tonight. Most folks on a budget would be ticked.
I assume the other sports are women's volleyball and Rugby of the Connaught variety, which I'll need clarification on.
I'll go on a limb to say 95% of MU fans on here, avid sports fans, don't watch a single women's volleyball or rugby game all year, or in the last 5 years. I'm not insulting those sports, and I'm sure they are awesome when you get into them, but it's just not a thing if I'm not mistaken.
The rugby house on campus threw some elite ass parties so count me in to support everything rugby, for the record

My point, as you deliberately missed, is that the 21 point lead was not blown, but rather was deliberately taken away by the game officials with devastating consequences. It happens to all college basketball teams occasionally (which is part of the excitement of college basketball), but it stings when countless Tarheel charging fouls are called as defensive fouls on Flyers. Some were not even close.

Occasionally? Happens ALL the time. The refs share a code that the mafia has used for centuries-
omerta. The penalty for violating omerta is death. There was a quick meeting during halftime, and they agreed that it would be really, really bad if Dayton won. The Referee Mafia gave the game to NC.
ABD
Imagine posting on an opponent's board about blowing a historic lead and then trying to justify it by blaming the refs.
Might as well blame Santos for having too big of feet as well.

Coach Brian Gregory noticed during the game that one game official awarded Nate Funk 16 of his 18 free-throw attempts, and enquiries were made about that official. It was established that the official was Nate Funk's uncle on his mother's side, and he was required by rules to recuse himself from officiating any games involving Creighton. He clearly didn't. It was reported that the University of Dayton lodged a formal complaint about the situation, but nothing else about it was ever published.
That game –

30 free-throws for the entire season, with
16 of those free-throws awarded by his uncle against Dayton. In 4 of his 6 games, Nate attempted 3 or fewer FTs.

Game 7: Iowa State vs. Dayton
Game 8: North Carolina vs. Auburn
North Carolina in Record Comeback over Dayton 92-90 (https://goheels.com/news/2024/11/26/mens-basketball-mbb-maui-recap-vs-dayton) – University of North Carolina – November 25, 2024
LAHAINA, HAWAI'I – The win ties the second-largest comeback in Tar Heel history, matching a 21-point, second-half effort against Florida State on January 27, 1993, in Chapel Hill.
For those of you who did not see the game, the Officials seemed determined in the second half to make sure that North Carolina did not suffer the same fate as UConn as few hours earlier, with many, many questionable calls going against the Flyers, who were a 9½-point underdog. This one is going to sting for a long time.
Box Score: #12 North Carolina 92, Dayton 90 (https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/401716056) - ESPN – November 25, 2024
Dayton free-throw shooting: 12-15 (80.0%)
UNC free-throw shooting: 27-34 (79.4%)
Quote from: Fieldhouse Flyer on November 26, 2024, 07:30:44 AMMy point, as you deliberately missed, is that the 21 point lead was not blown, but rather was deliberately taken away by the game officials with devastating consequences. It happens to all college basketball teams occasionally (which is part of the excitement of college basketball), but it stings when countless Tarheel charging fouls are called as defensive fouls on Flyers. Some were not even close.
Quote from: Fieldhouse Flyer on November 26, 2024, 10:10:27 AMYes, I definitely said that. I changed my mind after I saw how many knowledgeable and dedicated Warriors fans posted here. You have a very good MB compared to many I've seen, and let's face it, you guys are a good laugh. Whether or not that makes me a liar is somewhat subjective under such circumstances.
Last night's game had a lot of déjà vu for the Flyer faithful. To wit:
Box Score: Creighton 91, Dayton 90 / 2OT (https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore/_/gameId/253300156) - ESPN – at Creighton – November 26, 2005
Dayton free-throw shooting: 12-15 (80.0%)
Creighton free-throw shooting: 26-36 (72.2%)
Nate Funk's free-throw shooting: 15-18 83.3%)
Coach Brian Gregory noticed during the game that one game official awarded Nate Funk 16 of his 18 free-throw attempts, and enquiries were made about that official. It was established that the official was Nate Funk's uncle on his mother's side, and he was required by rules to recuse himself from officiating any games involving Creighton. He clearly didn't. It was reported that the University of Dayton lodged a formal complaint about the situation, but nothing else about it was ever published.
That game – 19 years ago today – still stings.
BTW, Nate Funk played only 6 games in the 2005-06 season, and attempted a total of 30 free-throws for the entire season, with 16 of those free-throws awarded by his uncle against Dayton. In 4 of his 6 games, Nate attempted 3 or fewer FTs.

I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened.

With all due respect I watched the entire game. And was rooting for your team. It's true there were several egregious calls. The tackle by Bedou, two and ones where no one touched Trimble, and a blatant flop by Davis come to mind in the 2nd half. All that said the refs didn't cost Dayton the game. What cost your team the game was a complete meltdown defensively. It was the parting of the Red Sea, anemic transition D, UNC dominating the glass, and 4 dagger triples, two by a Freshman. If you're banking on winning games because of offensive fouls from your opponent, good luck. The fact is you lost focus on the defensive end. Period.

Yep. He's punching Fieldhouse in his knees.
All I know is go Iowa State tonight.

QuoteThe 18-point differential is UConn's worst loss to a nonconference opponent since 2018, when Connecticut was defeated by Iowa by 19 points in Hurley's first season with the Huskies.

Not really. UConn has back-to-back national championships. That's something Dayton will never sniff.

Congratulations on the 7th place finish in Maui.

Yep. Finishing 7th is much more impressive than Marquette's showing last year against what many observers considered the best Maui field ever.

UDpride has a thread lasting multiple years begging to join a conference better than the A10 and shat itself after getting smoked by Xavier in the exhibition... congrats on the win but man some perspective on your mid major self is good

And UConn is NMD also confirmed.
This didn't quite click at the time, but looking again we have to play UCONN and SJU, B2B with 2 days turnarounds, TWICE. That seems crazy - what goes into making that call?

It makes for a very weird NMD in my parts in addition to the later tip time.
