Seton Hall jumps 8 spots

[Golden Avalanche]

I'd jump for unnatural carnal knowledgeing joy if we get to their level in the next few years. "The likes of Seton Hall" are currently 3-0 in conference.

What level is that?

Hall won the Big East Tournament two years ago which is a dynamite accomplishment. Outside of that, they've had a dramatically less accomplished last decade then Marquette.

You're aiming to reach a program's level that won three, six, and six games in consecutive seasons of Big East play within the last five years.

Exactly.  Three years ago, people were openly speculating whether or not Kevin Willard would keep his job.  Prior to two years ago, he coached for five years without an NCAA tournament.  And the last two years he's been in the tournament but hasn't won a game.

Yeah they have a good team this year.  But can it be sustained a la Xavier?  Highly doubtful IMO.

Maybe he give us more than 5 Fouls in this game and starts hitting his shots.

It would be well worth having Harry out there if he pulls Delgado away from the paint on defense, and gives us a better shot at at scoring at the rim and offensive rebounds.  I have a feeling that Willard wouldn't let that happen though.

Also, Harry is by far our best rebounder in the limitetd sample size. We'll need that.

And I agree, I think teams are going to start giving him the outside shot. He's gonna have to start making them pay.

Harry must be making these in practice and scrimmages or Wojo wouldn?t be giving him the green light.  Hopefully, he can shake the rust off soon or Woj is going to have to change the color of his light.

What makes you think Harry is going to pull any big man, let alone a very good big man, outside when he's in the game? Harry's offensive game is much better near the paint than on the perimeter. I don't think any coach watching our game tape would assume Harry is a threat from outside. The guy has made a single 3 all season, and while his handles aren't bad for a big, he's not really a threat to drive past a defender to score.

But the big question is:

How much will you give each of us if MU beats SH tonight?!?!?

Nothing for tonight. This bad boy is winnable.

I did however throw down on SHU since the line is a pick em.

Lucky for us, when I put down big bets against MU these are the games we usually win.

I completely agree that I think MU's long-term trajectory is much better than SH's.  However, I would charitably assume that by "that level" the poster means "ranked top 15".

Let?s keep in mind that Heldt did as well as you could hope for defending Delgado in the regular season last year. Heldt isn?t overly talented, but he?s pretty smart and works really hard. Make Delgado work for his boards and points and hope they aren?t shooting well while we have a good night shooting.

I'm more concerned about containing Powell and Carrington from distance and Desi inside the arc than I am about SHU's size... get a lead, run 2 of Harry, Theo and Matt as much as possible, clog up their interior game, try to contest 3PA's and hope your shots keep falling on the other end.

Hell, anytime two of Powell, Carrington or Desi sits down, I might run a triangle-and-2 with our trio of bigs (or with Sam).  Even if only one sits at a time, I'd still consider mixing it in occasionally for a change of pace / confusion factor.

I meant top 15 this year, not what they've done in prior years

That's cool. I prefer actual achievements to media inflated rankings but each fan has their own standard.

So about that Seton Hall blowout because they are such a bad matchup...

One scenario I didn't even consider as a possibility is MU by 20. Wow.

We got this!

Yeah yeah, Im eating crow. Its amazing to see what this MU team can do just when you think they wont be able to do it. Team rebounded (literally) and played some pretty decent defense for once in what seems like a long while.

This is what happens when Wojo reads Scoop.

[GooooMarquette]

This is what happens when Wojo reads Scoop.

Kinda figured the thing about Wojo showing them the Bama QBs hugging was just a smokescreen for what really happened.

"Guys, Scoop says we're going to get blown out tonight.  Well I say let's win the whole damn thing!!!"
