Seth Davis: Marquette is a Bad Match Up For Florida

Says our defense is one of the few who can shut down Florida.

No confidence.  Seth has been terrible in his predictions this tournament.

We have played good D in the tourny, but Seth hasn't picked games any better than I have this year.

Just don't like hearing this. This team needs to be be the "hunter" and not the "hunted" who everyone is giving props to. Every time this team is getting talked up they lay an egg. Florida is dam good and has a coach who has two national titles under his belt since 2006. They were in the Elite 8 last year and lost Vernon Macklin and Chandler Parsons. They added a NBA first round pick in Bradley Beal to that same roster. Forget freakin seeds they're the favorite in my book.

There isn't much defense for shooting like that. What you can do is slow down the game, which is what Norfolk St. failed at doing. They got baited into playing Florida's game, and they weren't just going to win that.

Florida's defense is no good, and I'm confident that we can beat them on that end. What worries me is that Gardner is going to be ineffective with his injury and their athleticism.

The whole game comes down to controlling Patrick Young. Davante and Jamil have their work cut out for them.

FWIW, Seth Davis likes MU to get past MSU to reach the final four as well.

You must have missed the UConn, Louisville, Georgetown and several other games in which the announcers talked about how wonderful we were and then we kicked ass.

This is like, "We can't win on national TV." It's just silliness.

A so-called expert saying something about our team, good or bad, has zero impact on a game.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Seth Davis didn't even rank MU until this board shamed him into it.
