Black Friday will feature Marquette's second trip to Chicago as they take on Oklahoma. Cracked Sidewalks looks at what might have been an alternate universe Marquette had we gone in a different direction post-Wojo.

How do you think we will do without Ben? There's no way Shaka is going to risk ICE cuffing Ben during the team intros and loading him onto a plane to El Salvador. Those guys wouldn't even let him change out of his uni.

Something about Ben tells me ICE is fine with him. He looks like the good guys in this country.
Today something will have to give, as Marquette and Oklahoma are a combined 0-5 against top-100 teams. The Sooners early season offense has been as advertised, but their defense remains a work in progress. We check back in on our updated Sooners preview.

Can we get enough buckets Brew? Is it possible Shaka will change our defensive philosophy after 3 debacles?
No idea, but our press defense sucks ass. We're turning teams over but when we don't, we get eviscerated. If we press Oklahoma, they'll likely destroy us. They don't turn it over and the Brown/Pack pair will kill us at the rim and from three if we're commiting to high pressure, IMO.

Ban dis guy
Man, 161.5 sounds like a lot of points but if we give up 100 again it is certainly doable. Nice to reread the Oklahoma preview (with update). If Shaka stays with the same D, gotta go with the over. That almost certainly guarantees that Shaka will adjust.

The over has been the play with Marquette all season long
