Bold Predictions: 2012-2013

[NeverDrankBefore]

I have been thinking of the upcoming basketball season and I am extremely excited regarding the potential we have under Buzz and co.  Some of the bold predictions that I have made are as follows:

*Warning- bold prediction means between a 35 and 40% chance of happening.  I'm not a psychic 

1) Marquette finishes in the top half of the Big East- I think that Jamil will carry us through February and Blue will take over in March.
2) Vander Blue finishes in the top ten in the nation in 3 pt fg made.  He won't have the best percetnage but I think Buzz will be screaming "shoot" quite often when Vander has the ball.
3) Snorlax (Gardner) makes second team All BE. He is a monster in the post and I don't see him missing more than 2 or 3 free throws this year (won't miss one at home as we cheer "AUTOMATIC").
4) Marquette defeats Indiana as the 10 seed to reach the Final Four!!!!!!! 
5) Jamil and Vander become lottery picks after the incredible tourney run.  Pay Day $$$$

Any comments or concerns?  If I am right, this will be a super fun season.

amusing, but #2 is bananas

[MarquetteBamaFan]

I agree on mostly everything. 

I think Marquette finishes in the top four of the Big East.  Also, I think Trent Lockett challenges for BE POY. 
Gardner is straight cash from the line, he will be shooting all our technical free throws this year.
If Junior can learn how to defend his man, we will have the top defensive team in the BE.

Your Username explains a lot...apparently you've started.

/Although I think Nos. 1 and 3 are reasonable.

Bold predictions.

- Cadougan leads the nation in assists
- Mayo wins BE Sixth Man
- Jamil Wilson averages a double-double
- Six players average double-figures scoring
- Marquette is ranked in the top 10 at some point in the season

Good, I've missed the debate over the "automatic" chant.  I do believe we officially decided that none of our players shall be named after Pokemon characters, though.

I believe the summit determined no dead wrestler, original Pokemon character, or World of Warcraft boss nicknames.

Unless the player requests it, can we not cheer when one of our players is on the line!!  Please!!

If Vander takes and makes that many 3's, MU will be much, much higher than a 10 seed.

If Vander is in the top 10 for 3pters, this is a top 10 team and a 3 seed or higher.

[Spotcheck Billy]

how can so many of you be familiar with pokemon?



/has no kids of his own

If Vander makes THAT many three-pointers, we'll be playing Louisville for the National Championship. And, we'll beat them.

Imagine if Todd Mayo shot that well too!

[CTWarrior]

If Vander is in the top 10 in 3FGs made we will win just once, because he will need to take about 30 3 point shots a game to make the requisite 3 or 4 to get him in the top 10.  We would still beat DePaul with one guy shooting 3-30 on 3s.

[bilsu]

I think I will be yelling louder at Blue not to shoot.

[real chili 83]

Here's one to add to your list....

MU beats ND by 30 in SB and LW invites Buzz to do a suggestive Irish jig at center court right on top of the leprechaun.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Fixed!

MU beats ND by 30 in SB and LW joins Buzz in a suggestive Irish jig at center court right on top of the leprechaun.

In case you've missed PTM's signature:

Two years ago I made the bold prediction Gardner will be selected in the second round of the 2014 NBA draft.

I will stand by my bold prediction.

You're not even going to up the ante to Gardner being a lottery pick in 2013?

[TallTitan34]

I'm not that bold.

I think he has NBA hands, NBA touch, and NBA feet.

He lacks explosiveness and his body type (lack of height, length, and weight) hurts him.

The physical issues (weight, strength) could improve over time, but his length is always going to be an issue for NBA scouts who love length and wingspan.

Has a chance to be a very good college player. Robert Jackson is a nice comp.

Over/Under 2.5 issues for our team that stem from Club 720?

This is what happens when kids don't learn how to drink responsibly before hitting college...you get guys like neverdrankbefore...

I don't know, I'm starting to think he's 13.  The Pokemon shtick didn't work, so now he's trying out his troll persona.

Good point.  Maybe he's being honest in his name.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Jaybee will piss himself after a hard night of drinking MGD 64s.

[Blackhat]

Todd Mayo is our leading scorer and shooter.

Steve Taylor gets 9pts and 5 rebs per game this year.   Solid.
