Cooley says his team is over rated...rankings compared to Kenpom.

Motivation tactic, the truth, a diversion?????

Like Cooley says, all that counts is winning tonight.  GO WARRIORS!!!!

Tonight will be our first top ten win.

Good ol' Dunkin Donuts Center.

Marquette-Providence...Something weird always seems to happen in this game.

He says he schedules for RPI.

The worst thing about the Dunk is that THEY DON'T SERVE ANY DONUTS THERE! They have Dunkin Donuts stands throughout the concourse but they all sell... coffee. WTF, Providence?

Nothing better than pairing a few Boston Kremes with some of Milwaukee's finest, amiright? Of all the MUBB road trips I've taken over the past few years, this ranks as the biggest disappointment. (Okay, the loss to Butler in 2014 - the one where we decided not to score in OT - was brutal but this is a close second.)

So Cooley thinks his team is overrated? Well, so are we, so that makes this game a push, ain'a?

That is if one actually thinks DD is a doughnut worth having. For my high calorie dollar there is nothing better than the hand-forged goodness of Top Pot.

Davante with the greatest shot that never was.....

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I'm pretty sure Derrick had one of those as well

Yep. Against DePaul two years ago. We ended up winning that one in overtime or double overtime. I looked for the link but couldn't find it.

[MU Buff]

IIRC Buzz called a timeout right as Derrick put up that 3/4 court shot. DePaul had tied it with only a couple seconds left in regulation. We won 96-94 in overtime.
