If they were quality bigs, they wouldn't be playing for Southern.


HEY-OH!

Marquette has made eight consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament, the past five under former UNO coach Buzz Williams.

I assume this is the only state media that would introduce Buzz like that.

Really? We made it to the Big Dance and loss to Zaga by 6. I'm glad you and your fans on here are underestimating us but not having our starting center will hurt us. We do have a transfer from Iowa State however.

I'm in New Orleans for a long weekend.  Not hearing much buzz for the game...I guess more of a UNO/Tulane/Loyola town...

Jag, we are not underestimating you.  We know exactly how good you are.  But we also know how good we are.  That is why we are confident that we will win....big.  Nothing wrong with that.

So the cycle goes... MU-ISU-Southern?

Does that mean McKay transfers there next year?

Probably more of an LSU town

Welcome.   Congratulations on a great season last year and on nearly making history.   How deep are you guys up front?    How quick are your guards.    If MU is able to get the ball inside to our bigs, are you guys going to be able to compete?

warriorchick was making more of an inside joke than anything.

Considering Southern is located in a different city...

warriorchick has fans? 

She's a solid poster, but I don't know that I'd call myself a fan.

I'm in Denver today, waiting for my Real Chili to be delivered, can't wait to start the season off right.  Come on UPS.

I live near Baton Rouge, and EVERY school in the state takes a back seat to LSU football, no matter where you are.  Secondly, the game day article is the first coverage of any kind of Southern's basketball team that I've seen.  Thirdly, Southern is evil and must be destroyed.

Welcome. Congrats on what your team accomplished last season. Looking forward to tonight. Don't get offended by W-Chick, she talks a lot of trash.

Any chick who likes basketball on an internet forum is going to have fans.

We have a few transfers. Our guards are big and we like to run the ball up and down the court. I'm not sure how Marquette is and I do pay attention to them from time to time especially when they had a player I think last name was James. Was it Dominic or something like that? I'm not sure. We have this game today and have to leave out for a game with MTSU, Sunday. I just want us to compete. Not having our starting center will hurt against Otule but I guess we will see.

Really? We are evil? And besides, everyone is a LSU fan in football until their team starts to lose games against teams like Ole Miss. You are a lie about our basketball coverage. You said you live near, and not in Baton Rouge. I live in Baton Rouge.

Jesus...don't be so defensive.  "<School name> is evil and must be destroyed" is a line used here before every game.  Do you know how message boards work?

Dude. Relax. We say that about everyone. A little sensitive?

Its from a movie (Steel Magnolias, IIRC, sadly).  Southern isn't special.  Everyone we play is evil and must be destroyed!

We can engage a Southern fan for only so long.

Pre-game ritual, 225.   Before every game, there is a thread about how the opponent is evil and must be destroyed.   Your turn in the barrel.   Your guards are big and like to run.   Is this a change?   Last year, didn't you guys succeed by slowing tempo?
