Can Marquette be "The Next Villanova"?

A smarter man would be out before the lock, but here we both are.

I just hope Shaka can pass his first test.

My point all along is that he's making baseless claims to support his moronic takes and has no plans on ever backing anything up.

I should've picked a more suitable point to take the stance like - Marquette is closer to DePaul than it is to Villanova, but I'm fed up with the troll and did this one.


He still has done nothing to back up any of his claims, but all of his plebes are backing him up. This isn't about googling, it's about Farley the clown.

If only there were a thing like the internet where you could find these things. Such as ...

"I really like them; that's the only school I've taken an official visit to on my final list. They have a great culture there and they really take care of their players. The staff and the players have a great connection and the students really support the team. That part is really underrated there. That's a special place."

"Marquette was the first school to come to an open gym for me and they were also my first high-major offer. In addition, I have a great relationship with Coach DK and Wojo. And with Theo [John] leaving it would be a great fit."

"Marquette has a great support system; the students really come and support the basketball games. The coaching staff is cool and have a great culture."

I dared the troll to prove me wrong. You helped the troll. Congrats Farley jr.

Dude you need to be on meds or something.  This is the most bizarre take ever.  You're wrong.  Everyone knows your wrong.  You're so obviously wrong that I'm not even going to waste time on something so obvious.  Yet you some Joe turn that into me being cowardly and calling out anyone who proves you wrong as an accessory to trolling.   What a weirdo.

You think Marquette is closer to Depaul than Villanova. End of conversation clown.

are you for real?

We're nowhere near Nova. We're way further away from being Depaul. Depaul has won one NCAA tournament game since 1990. They haven't had a winning conference record since 2006. Making any sort of Depaul comparison is extremely misguided.

We've won 0 tourney games since 2013.   Nova has won two national championships.   We are far more likely to only win 1 tourney game in the next few decades than we are to win 2 national championship.   You seem to think saying we are closer to DePaul means we are DePaul which speaks to your ability to comprehend words.   If you imagine a line and at one end is DePaul and the other Nova, we are somewhere between DePaul and the half way point.   Apparently that's a ludicrous assertion that only a troll would make.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

How is this thread still around?  The answer is still no.  Anyone who thinks otherwise in delusional AF.

[Pakuni]

Marquette to DePaul = 87.6 miles
Marquette to Villanova = 838 miles

Checkmate, suckers.

That probably is as accurate figuratively as it is literally

DePaul has been one of the worst high major programs in the last 25 years. Find a new slant.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I'm going to regret weighing in but,

It only took Nova 10 years to get from their low point under Jay Wright to where they are now (and only 4 years to get their first championship in that stretch).

It's taken DePaul 30 years to fall from relevance to where they are now.

It is equally unlikely that we have a 10 year stretch like Nova or 30 year stretch like DePaul, but it doesn't have to take long to have the stretch that Nova has had. It takes 3 times as long to have a stretch like DePaul has had.

[MU82]

For the 100th time ... Nova wasn't "the next Nova" 9 years ago. They were coming off a 3-year stretch where they had 2 first-round losses and a 13-19 season. And there no doubt were NovaScoopers looking at MU going S16-S16-E8 in the same span going, "I wish we could be more like Marquette."

Nobody can expect to win titles. To me "the next Nova" means being consistently excellent, always in the running for BE titles, always being a high seed - which gives you a better shot at deep tourney runs.

Or we can just say, "Never mind. It's impossible for Marquette to be consistently excellent ever. We're doomed to be nothing special ever again."

Just like Nova was in 2013.
