Clearly a bad loss will affect our seeding.

Should the guys wear boots in the games, just in case?

Hopefully Massagno can sign D Will to team up with Jake in the back court

Imagine the panic here, if we lost to a team with a backcourt of Thomas and Derrick.

A loss here could be almost as devastating as the K-State scrimmage.    Whatever they do, they can't let anybody go for 40!

I am not making any of this up.

The first team we are playing, Haukar Basketball is from Hafnarfjörður, Iceland.  A town of about 27,000.  Their head coach is Ivar Asgrimmson.  One of their best players is a guy named Finnur Magnusson who played at Catawba College, a D2 school in North Carolina.  I was kind of surprised to see he has a Wikipedia page, but alas...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnur_Magn%C3%BAsson

I'm thinking that Marquette is gonna win a couple games on this trip.

Broeker better be working on his catch phrases.   I'm expecting something along the lines of "onions!".   Maybe  "palles!"
