Catching up on the last couple of games, diving into numbers, and.....UCONN???

We're back on the podcasting train after a few games with less than stellar results, so we start with reviewing the last 3 games for Marquette. Part of the discussion is again, what went wrong and is there anything to do to fix it. We then spend some considerable time advertising for KenPom by digging through some offensive(posted below) and defensive numbers to get a sense of what this team might be able to tweak over the next few weeks to get wins that they need to make the tournament. We also talk about the tournament and what Marquette's odds are of making it, and one of us uses the term super soft bubble. The bubble talk leads to a discussion around the last 6 games on #mubb schedule and whether they can win at least 3(preferably 4) and if so against who. Then the conversation takes a turn for the unexpected and we talk UCONN to the Big East rumors and what the circumstances would be where that would happen. We close out the show with a quick discussion of Georgetown and a prediction of the results. And we take a few pokes at Anonymous Eagle along the way.

Ah...the good ol UConn rumors.  As a former Connecticut-an whose first MU game was to see the Huskies (the classic Steve Novak game) UConn was my first love and is now my second favorite team...and I want them back.

That said, the biggest challenge is UConn finding a place to dump football.  I doubt the MAC wants them and going independent in football is a death wish (see: New Mexico State...I think?).  Maybe they can stay in the AAC? Maybe they could drop to the FCS and play in Nova and Georgetown's league?
