Title: Things Setting Up Nicely for MU
Post by: DegenerateDish on January 22, 2007, 09:13:46 AM

The schedule sets up very nicely for Marquette here in the final 10 regular season games.

Seton Hall (should be a win)
@ South Florida (trap game)
Providence (should beat them at home)
Rutgers (should be a win)
@ Georgetown (coming off two home games, and our win at Pitt, I like our chances here)
@ DePaul (this game scares me)
Louisville (should be a win)
Villanova (home game on Big Monday, I think we can get 'Nova)
@ Notre Dame (another scary game)
Pitt (with College GameDay in the house, I think we take care of business)

All in all, 6 of final 10 at home. With the teams left, a bye in the first round of the BE, and a conference title, are within reach.

Just noticed you could do this at KenPom.com:

If you switch to his rankings, it'll predict a final score for unplayed games. He's got us going 24-7 (7-3 for here on out) with losses to GT, DP and ND, all away.

Here's a link to the table:

All of our away games will be tough.  I know we won @UCONN, Louisville, and Pitt, but its always tough to win on the road.  We only have to look as far back as our game against Providence to realize that.  Still, you are right, our schedule is much more favorable now.
