Quite frankly..they don't deserve to make the tourney

[brewcity77]

It could happen . . . but who would actually take that bet.  Best case is the Warrior win 1, and end 9-9 in the BE, then they would need at least 2 wins in the BET to make the tourney.

You don't know the first thing about this bubble, do you? 

[Anti-Dentite]

If, and it's a big if, they win the next two they are very likely in.

It's an if but not a big if, I think we can get the next two.

First, it's SEASHELLS and balloons, if you're going to cheer for Marquette, you have to get that one right. And just because you're a whiny little bitch who flip flops with every result doesn't make you some kind of superfan, it makes you a fairweather punk who doesn't know the first thing about actually cheering for a team through good AND bad.

When this team starts winning at a high level again, fans like you don't deserve to still be on the bandwagon. I just can't respect someone who puffs his chest after every win and pouts after every loss.

Welcome to reality. Sometimes it hurts. The mark of a man is how he deals with adversity. Suffice to say, you fail that test miserably.

Listen son(and i can call you that) you might want to retract that punk statement. I have forgotten more about MU hoops and basketball in general then you will ever know. When this team starts winning at a high level again?? What 3 years?? 4 years?? The mark of a passionate fan is one who takes losses extremely hard, and doesn't settle for mediocrity at any time, regardless of circumstances. And isn't satisfied with NIT berths because it's "progress".  You fail that test miserably, that is for sure!

I don't like to leave anything to the committee.  I want it carved in stone.

brew, remember that he cares SO MUCH for Marquette, that earlier this week he bragged about sacrificing his marriage for the cause.   

[muwarrior97]

So if they get selected they should decline? Definitely a rocky roller coaster with this squad but this post SMH

Oh good, now Sultan is here too...you are damn right, I sacrificed my marriage for MU. I wish people would stop questioning my passion. I think that speaks for itself.

guru - brew.  Knock it off.  You're both better than hurling insults.

[bradley center bat]

If the Warriors manage to go 1-1 in the BE, and win 2 games in the BET, maybe, maybe they deserve a NCAA bid.

If that happens, that means for the first time ever, Marquette will be in the Big East Tournament Championship Game. They would be a stone cold lock.

[PGsHeroes32]

Oh shut up. A few hours ago you were guaranteeing this a win and talking about all the trash you'd talk to the "haters" after the game because Providence is such and awful team. Now you're crying and it's the end of the world because we lost like many of us expected we would.

When we beat Xavier and Creighton, you'll be back to crowing about how great this team is and that we have a shot at winning the Big East Tournament. Such a fairweather fan.

We might beat Creighton

But we ain't beating both

Any y'all no if Butthole was at da game? We can blame his ass, hey?

I'm not your son because my parents aren't whiny little bitches. Yousimply don't deserve a good team.

Whether it's two or twenty years, you don't deserve a good team because you aren't a good fan. And yes, progress is progress, even when it's incremental. Once our postseason play starts, and it will, your shouldn't even bother cheering for Marquette. Because this season will end with a loss, and I'm not sure your psyche can handle it.

[Herman Cain]

Whats your thought process behind needing 21 wins? Because theres zero logical explanation to it. What metrics are you using?

I don't trust the committee. So I figure 20 is the minimum optics we need to make and I am saying 21 to have a very competitive resume.  Also it gives us some positive trend .

Okay whatever. You enjoy the CBI or whatever tournament this team plays in at the end of the year. You don't deserve a good team, and that's the truth. if you can't be a TRUE fan and criticize when they deserve it, then what is the point?? We all want them to win(even you), some of us just care a lot more about winning and HATE losing. Again...show me a good loser and I will show you a loser. - Vince Lombardi

It's an if but not a big if, I think we can get the next two.

How about calling it a "medium" if?

Agree, but I want a lock.

I don't think 1-1, and 1-1 in the BET gets the Warriors into the tournament.

Caring about winning does not equate to how you react when they lose a tough game.

Did you skip the handshake line to throw a hissy fit after little league games?

If you were on the court (in any capacity) I could understand throwing this monster fit but it seems like a lot of misery to put yourself through for something you literally have zero control over.

I can go with that, medium if it is.

Well, Marquette lost, you claim to be a Marquette fan, ergo...

I am happy to criticize. I've been critical in the past. But there's a difference between being critical and whining. Yelling and screaming and ruining your marriage and losing your mind all the time just isn't healthy. That crap doesn't make you a true fan.

I'm a fan every day, not just when it makes me happy. Do I want this team to improve? Yes. The defense needs to get better. The youngsters need to grow up. I'd like to say the seniors need to play like seniors, but if Luke and JJ aren't there after 28 games, what's the odds that'll change?

But going batcrap crazy online and pissing and moaning won't change that. That isn't holding the program accountable. You confuse anger with passion. The two aren't the same. But just like our seniors don't seem likely to learn, my guess is you won't either. Thankfully for me, that's not my problem.

My sincere advice is you give up sports. I don't think you have the maturity or the mental fortitude to handle it.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Excellent compromise.
