Who is ready to become a bid stealer!

[KenoshaWarrior]

Time to become the bid stealer.  Every year some team comes out of nowhere to take a bid away from a team more deserving; this year that team is us.   We got a few things going for us.
1. We usually play well the first round of BEAST tourney
2. If you play Creighton, they dont have the NYC experience that we have
3. Nova can always lose before they should
4. MU can beat this Providence team on a neutral court.   

How bout this team just shuts all the haters up on this board and goes on a run.  Just for old time sake.

I think it can happen. 
The team fought super super hard last night coming back from 11 down to have a great chance to win on a tough court.

Time is now

O yea Marquette once again is giving up Losing for Lent!!

[Windyplayer]

This guy is ready!

[towncryer]

I love it.  I'm down right now after the loss last night, but I don't quit on our chances until the tournament field is set.  Do I logically think we'll get in?  No.  But that's what makes being a fan fun...sticking with it and believing in the impossible and having it actually happen is SO much more rewarding than being the fan who packed it in and said "it's over."

RING OUT AHOYA!

We have all seen what Buzz has done in the previous years. I have been waiting for him to rally the team on 4 or 5 different occasions and hasnt. This is his last chance to do so.

I believe upsets will happen in the conference tourny and we could steal a bid.
I will not give up on this team untill seasons over

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

I like the optimism! Im going to wear my "Mr. Positive Uno" shirt for the Big East tournament. No use dwelling on the loss anymore its done. Use the St. Johns game as prep and let the boys go to work. Doesnt need to be pretty. Survive and advance.

[Mu2323]

Lets be honest though guys. Last night did not lose anything for us. We were not getting in with a win or a win vs st johns. We are in the same position as yesterday we need to win the BET to get in and its still open.

[Shark]

I'm ready. This team was picked to finish 1st for a reason.

Although last night was a bummer, I can honestly say if this team played like that all season they would be a lock for the tournament. We need some good vibes on this site.

I won't believe we're in the NIT, until I'm watching us in the NIT.

Also, I think we've clinched the 6th spot, at worst, meaning no more than 3 games in NYC.  Probable, no.  Doable, YES.

Probability of Auto Bid:   3.26%

Better than zero.

No, with a loss and. Georgetown win, pretty sure MU would be 7th. That said, I suspect they win Saturday and end up in that 4/5 game against Providence.

No, because we beat GT twice this year. I believe that gives us the tiebreaker over them.

[Eldon]

I admire your true-fanatic optimism, Kenosha. 

Let's go get that trophy!

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Also, lets not forget. It is very, very difficult to beat a team 3 times in the same season. Bodes well for a Creighton or Nova matchup. Yay positivity!

[NavinRJohnson]

Not something I would predict, but Ill admit, its not completely far fetched either. With the exception of Crieghton (who hasn't played real well the last week or two), MU has beaten or at least played with everyone, including Vilannova. Played with obviously doesn't get it done, but it at least provides a reason to watch.

[NavinRJohnson]

You're right.

That is actually not true.   When teams face each other 3 times and have already beat them twice than the same team usually wins again.   One of those weird myths in sports.  But yea love the positivity. 

Time for these Warriors to get some scalps!!

Dont ruin my vibe Kenosha! Maybe it plays more of an affect in high school. I always thought that to be true.

[GooooMarquette]

I'm ready to win 3 in NYC!

This is the first season under Buzz that we've needed to win out to dance...and I think he and the guys will be up to the challenge.  Let's go push a team off the bubble!

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

On March 15th all I want to hear is. "With that the bubble shrinks by 1 with the miraculous run we just witnessed by Marquette in this Big East tournament."

[Eldon]

Reminder...




...it can be done.

I can see it now: Big Shot Todd with the juke and step-back fadeaway on the McDermott mismatch for the game!

[KenoshaWarrior]

OOOOOHHHHHHH KILLLLEEEEMMMMMM   TODDDD
