Auburn athletics noticed that while the CBS Sports pundit picked Auburn to go 4-14 in the SEC, I picked them as the 11th best team in the country based on www.valueaddbasketball.com. At 10-2 and No. 10 in the country, I was a bit closer. However, I was thrilled they made it clear I am MARQUETTE! The video is of me in front of the new Charles Barkley Court. I recently downsized and left the fullcourt I built in my backyard and labeled "Wade-Barkley Court."

Nice job, John - and thanks for getting MU some positive pub.

Thanks both and no problem. I do still try to work Jimmy F'n Butler as well!

This line from the article, "The numbers may never lie, but sometimes they have trouble telling the truth," reminds me of Professor Lowenstein (sp?) at MU back in the day....."Figures don't lie, but liars do figure!"

Good article.  Let's hope John can make a similar prediction about the Warriors in the next year or two.
