10 Seed vs 7 South Carolina 8:50pm Friday

[chapman]

I'm just happy to be here and not in Dayton.  Hope the team isn't. 

The "road game" chickening matters little.  We've played just fine in most road games this year.  We'll have Duke fans on our side too.

BRING ON THE COCKS!!!

We can beat 'em!!!!

[warriorchick]

As someone living in Greensboro right now, FML

You are way closer than most of us.

Get in the car, you crybaby.

Quick look at South Carolina.  They are atrocious at shooting the ball.  41% FG's.  Also, they are not a team that is a threat from behind the arc.   This looks like a winnable game.  They do have a stud senior at the top however.

Looking forward to the "Famous South Carolina Alumni" thread.

Agreed. While I don't think we would beat duke, I'd rather take a shot at them than Louisville or Arizona. (Preferred 2 seed would have been Kentucky)

[DegenerateDish]

SC also has McD AA PJ Dozier, not much depth to them, but should be a winnable game for MU.

Guys, a bit of hubris, we haven't officially accepted the invite.

LOL, well played.

I like you, reinko.

2-0 vs the SEC so far this season. Both on neutral/road sites.

Let's make it 3-0

[forgetful]

Shut down Sindarius and walk away.  They don't have much size, but Sindarius is a beast.

[Litehouse]

The "Wojo to Duke" chatter is going to pick up a lot after he beats Coach K.

[brandx]

Surprised Vandy got a better seed than us.

Worse record; worse Conference; we beat them.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Love the draw. Hate that the game is in SC. Doesn't seem fair.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Brutal.

MU will get destroyed in what is, in effect, a home game for South Carolina.

Just an awful draw.  Not the seeding but the draw.

South Carolina isn't good.

We can burn that bridge when we come to it.   

[Babybluejeans]

Duke fans are going to neutralize SC fans. They're going to be all over MU.

[1SE]

So great to see MU in the bracket again. So much better to actually care about the opening weekend. I like the match-ups - very plausible path to Sweet 16.

[EnderWiggen]

You are way closer than most of us.

Get in the car, you crybaby.

Oh, i will!  =)

Agreed. Wife and I are in Charleston taking out 2yr old to his first MU game. Sack up and hop in the car.

[dgies9156]

If it happens I hope it goes better than the setup with Crean's mentor where I believe we set a record for least FGs in a half.

I was at that game and it was U-G-L-Y.

We could not hit crap and that's insulting crap.

Marquette opens as a 1-point favorite on KenPom.

[Class71]

Folks give it a rest. We are in and we could have a harder team to play than South Carolina. Pomeroy has SC ranked at 31 and Marquette at 29. Get a grip.

[LAZER]

Marquette opens as a 1-point favorite on KenPom.

+2.5 in Vegas, pretty big spread between Vegas and Kenpom
