Pulling out my inner Heisenberg and getting a little bold her but...

We are beating Nova on Sunday. Book it.

The team is going to come out flying. Get them in some foul trouble. Nova will miss some open jumpers.

That big time win is finally arriving this Sunday. Get your popcorn ready.

Agreed. Love the fact the game is not on campus.

I think you could be right. Not to take away from us if we do win, but I've been saying all year that 'Nova is overrated. Good for sure, but not top 10 in my opinion. Would definitely still be a huge win. We're playing better ball right now and we had them at home. If we can limit their guard scoring we win.

I don't think they are a top 10 team either but its huge win we would need regardless.

Hopefully they don't nail jumpers like they did the first time because this game is one we need.

I expect the team to come out flyin.

I'm digging the positivity. The players have to go into this game with a nothing to lose mentality. It's not our style, but I'd love nothing more than to enjoy my Sunday afternoon watching MU blow the doors off 'Nova while listening to Homer and Jim on the internet.

They seem to be overrated because they have no standouts and have had some questionable games--blowing a lead against us, OT @ Butler, etc. But never underestimate a team that always finds a way to win as a team. That's a collective skill.

That being said, obviously, MU wins on Sunday.

I'd love to see this, we are going to podcast immediately following the Nova game 1) because it's an interesting thing to try and 2) there would be no time to do a podcast before Providence if we didn't. I'd love to be able to avoid the eeyore syndrome that follows an MU loss and takes me 24 hours to clear my system.

I would feel better about it if they weren't in a tie for first place in the Big East, but at some point we have to get a win like this....is Sunday the day?

chapman · « **Reply #12 on:** February 28, 2014, 01:57:55 PM »

Not getting my hopes up, since every time a quality opponent has come up we've mostly stunk, or have just been outclassed. Too much of a trend to go against, so I'll say the grad school takes 2014 Chapman Bowl II.

The only reason that Nova's position in a tie for first is a problem for me is that Creighton would be first by themselves if we win...which will get the local Omaha honks on the radio worked up to a froth. It'd be worth it to see MU win, though.

Nice! Pull out your checkbook, they'll be 10 point dogs. Moneyline may be +450

Well considering they beat the team they're tied for 1st with by a combined about 50 points in the 2 games they have played this season maybe that's where they deserve to be.

This is actually a big deal and part of the hope for my optimism. Playing at the Wells is beneficial for at least three reasons.
1) The level of raucous is far lower than a game on campus
2) MU fans can actually attend
3) We are more used to playing in an NBA arena than Nova is

Not saying they don't deserve to be. Deserved or not, Creighton honking is obnoxious.

MUSF · « **Reply #18 on:** February 28, 2014, 03:34:01 PM »

We certainly match up better against Nova than Creighton. I think this is definitely a winnable game.

I don't think Gardner is capable of flying.

Im feeling it too...MU win that looks like GT game. Down to the wire.

Well we won on the FOX mothership why not CBS.

Markusquette · « **Reply #23 on:** February 28, 2014, 08:54:13 PM »

We really need some of Jake this game. If Nova guards him the same way other guys are going to have to step up like last time. Hope we can pull this W out. It will change everything.

TAMU, Knower of Ball · « **Reply #24 on:** March 01, 2014, 01:48:20 AM »

Love the optimism. Marquette needs this game. Nova doesn't. That makes us a very dangerous team. Let's show it on Sunday
