Who makes the first comment that is what the DePaul Arena will look like even when they are playing?

Rothstien says schedule will be released tomorrow. Third time is the charm?

Markus McDuffie of Wichita State expected to be out until mid December with a stress fracture, joining Landry Shamet on the injured list. Shamet may be back for Maui, but that's their top two in terms of minutes that will be out or recovering.

Obviously we have to get past VCU first, but that could be as good a chance as we'll get to knock off WSU.

If one of them are out we have a shot. If both are out I expect us to win....though they do have a very deep bench. Marshall runs a 10.5 man rotation.

I feel good about our chances against VCU. Don't see them as a tournament team this season.

Have long been a fan of McDuffie. Selfishly don't mind if he misses a potential MU game, but hope he's able to play lost if the season.

Didn't see this posted elsewhere, apologies if it was. But Landry Shamet played in Wichita State's first two games of the season. Put up 17 points with 4/5 3P shooting in their opener against UMKC and 10 points against College of Charleston. He seems fully recovered. Assuming we can get past VCU, the game against Wichita is gonna be one of the toughest of the season.

The Shockers should cruise past Cal in the first round. They opened the season by losing to UC Riverside and then beating Cal Poly by 3, both games at home. Both of those teams should be sub-250 by the time the season is over. It might not have worked out the same way if he came here, but this further cements my opinion that we dodged a bullet by not hiring Cuonzo. Landed two 5 star recruits in his first season...three years later the program is in the crapper and looking like it needs a major rebuild.

This further reinforces why the VCU game is not just the biggest of the season, but the biggest regular season game we've played in years. The SOS difference will be massive and that impacts every ranking system, not just RPI. Cal is terrible and could end up a sub-200 RPI team (there's always a handful of sub-200 high majors).

Like I keep saying. Purdue isn't very good.

They had an obnoxious size advantage on us which made them a horrible match up for us.

Nothing special if you do have any reasponable size to match them.

Losing one game in OT doesn't make a team "not very good". They are a top 20 team who was also a terrible match-up for us.

I've said this a well before this game(or even before OT when this comment was made).

They are not a good team(from a ranked standpoint)

Big10 as a whole looks like 2 teams and a bunch of blahhhh

Feel free to continue repeating this, but Purdue is a very strong team. They'll be a top 4 seed in the NCAAs.

I'm going to.

Doesn't make it embarrassing we lost to them or anything. Tough match up.

Meh team.
