Villanova prediction

[Markusquette]

Sandy will play a solid game and see his minutes continue to increase.

Early this morning, while incoherent, I was thinking Sandy would play big minutes and make an impact.  Hope it happens.

[wadesworld]

MU will roll just because it is the one game they should lose by a lot.

Disagreed, they should probably lose a lot of games by a lot given the current makeup of our roster.  It's why I'm encouraged for the future of the program Wojo is leading.  He's short on talent and size and yet he has the team competing every game against teams with superior talent and size (on most nights).  Is Wojo without fault?  Of course not.  But when he gets actual talent into the program (he will) I think we'll be in a really good spot.

We're going to lose, but I hope we just pack in the zone and hope Nova has an off shooting night, similar to what we did against UW. It's our best chance, IMO

Our local basketball expert says those minutes need to go to JJJ because he was ranked higher out of high school so he has to be better.  He'd be a star if Wojo would just let him make his first 20 errors without pulling him.  Mind games, I tell ya.

HASHTAG UNDER THE BUS.

We win, I hope.

I have a bad feeling about Hilliard going off from 3 with our zone....if he doesn't we have a good chance.

My goal for the game is to beat the spread. Buckle up boys, it ain't gonna be pretty

Spread will be covered. Guaranteed. Stone cold lock. Done Deal. In sharpie.
Margin of victory will be 12.  I won't say which way.

I will, however, go out on a limb and say that a foul will be called on Luke Fischer, Matt Carlino will attempt a 3-point basket, and the word "onions" will be uttered during the broadcast.

31% of our fans at present are predicting an MU win.  You should go bet the Money Line if you truly believe MU is going to win tonight - +1000.  Bet $100 and win $1,000.

Wish I shared the optimism.  Line has moved from MU +14 to MU +15.5.

Hell, at that rate those who predicted an MU win should lay on MU and the points.

I think you have your statements backwards.

1. If you truly believe MU will win go take MU and the points.  (even money)

or if you are super confident

Take the money line on an MU win. (10:1)



I don't believe there is an option to take MU and lay the points.  But if there was that probably would be +3000.

Sounds like Sharma's a Badger!

I get the feeling we're going to get spanked tonight.  Villanova does the things we have trouble stopping (ball movement, perimeter shooting).

OTOH, I think Duane Wilson is the guy who could have a big game for us.

As for Wojo, I do not like how we lose our aggression on both halves of the court very late in games, but otherwise I find little to fault.  Good recruiting, good effort, generally good game plans.  It will pay off, though unfortunately not this season.

Am I only allowed to make a prediction on the game after I give my opinion of Wojo as a coach?

[Spotcheck Billy]

every losing streak has to end sometime!

No, 1st step is a scanned photo of your Letterman jacket.  We need to verify you can ball first.

Interns mostly. Certainly not from the MU PR department.

On the road I don't think we can score enough points to be competitive. Most conference games we've struggled to hit the 60's in points scored. I think we need to score in the high seventies to keep pace with nova.

Our 3 point defense was less than stellar against Seton Hall and Butler, I think it's going to be a long night for us.

I'm thinking MU 62, Nova 80.

I'm looking for Juan to step up and do something in this game. They have athletic bigs and we need him to play well offensively. Seems to have lost confidence in his 3 point stroke as well. I think Luke will be in foul trouble all game.

MU is down 6-10 with 10 minutes to go and the wheels come off, losing by 20.

I'm putting 30 on the money line and hedging some of it with 30 on the spread. I like MU +14 and love the minimal risk with a huge payout that you get from the money line tonight. Worst case I'm out 63 best case I make 270.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Marquette will win by 3.  We will make lAyups and cutbacks and Carlino, Duane and Sandy will shoot lights out threes!  Go Marquette!!!
