Hopefully mu can contain Shamet and Morris if we can get them into foul trouble and hit our shots we should keep this close

Herman Cain · « **Reply #26 on:** November 21, 2017, 09:52:07 AM »

Our Big 3 have a game under their belts with those loose rims out there. I think we get another strong performance from them and more confidence from the rest of the team. Will be close but we will win this .

WSU wins 88-73.

Just can't see us stopping Morris at all.

Good early test tho.

Is there a God?

And if there is, does God intervene in daily life?

If the answer to both questions is yes, then MU 87-82.

Our team is also tired from a tough game yesterday, and their bigs are really big! WSU by 10.

Wichita State had just 5 losses last season — with 4 of them away from home and 3 on neutral courts. In other words, we have the best possible setting for an upset.

On the other hand, the Shockers didn't lose to a team ranked lower than #49 by KenPom.com. We're currently ranked #54. So there's that.

I'd give us a 1-in-3 chance. Not great odds, but you never know.

Go MU!

Hello, God? It's me, Marquette fan.

Please beat them, I hate Wichita State

The objective observer in me can see the Shockers manhandling our young lads (no Spacey jokes, please).

We need to shoot extraordinarily well, handle the press brilliantly and battle on the boards while avoiding fouls. The optimist in me says it could happen ... but it's tough for me to see all of that going our way.

Shockers 80, Warriors 70.

I will be absolutely thrilled to be wrong about this.

damuts222 · « **Reply #36 on:** November 21, 2017, 10:41:42 AM »

Whatever happened to everyone predicting score, high scorer for MU, total points, etc....

84-80 MU!

79Warrior · « **Reply #37 on:** November 21, 2017, 10:45:45 AM »

Unless Hauser, Howard and Rowsey shoot lights out, WS will pull away in the second half and win comfortably.

JamilJaeJamailJrJuan · « **Reply #38 on:** November 21, 2017, 10:49:06 AM »

I just hope we keep it interesting.

Clam Crowder · « **Reply #39 on:** November 21, 2017, 10:59:38 AM »

If we get Morris in foul trouble early I could see us up by a good margin for a bit of the first half. I think we cover but lose by 5 or so

Dr. Blackheart · « **Reply #40 on:** November 21, 2017, 11:06:15 AM »

WSU was beat. They settled early for threes and those weren't falling so they regrouped at halftime and almost exclusively went to the paint. MU has one of the worst two point defenses in the country at this point (309). If our bigs can stay out of foul trouble and we get theirs in foul trouble on their press, we got this in a very high tempo game. Should be fun!

PGsHeroes32 · « **Reply #41 on:** November 21, 2017, 11:07:55 AM »

On the bright side I'm gonna lay $500 on Wichita to win straight up. Pays $55.

We might just win this game

Osiris · « **Reply #42 on:** November 21, 2017, 11:16:25 AM »

WSU 85 - MU 69. Unless Heldt and John learn the art of flopping and Shaq picks up a couple quick fouls, then it could tighten up.

Jockey · « **Reply #43 on:** November 21, 2017, 11:26:26 AM »

I think it will be our ugliest game all year.

Heldt will get killed inside and Theo has no chance. The small lineup will get manhandled.

Hope I am wrong.

Stretchdeltsig · « **Reply #44 on:** November 21, 2017, 11:27:09 AM »

Warriors 83, Wichita State 78. Matt and Theo will keep their big guys out and in foul trouble. Sam will have a big game.

brewcity77 · « **Reply #45 on:** November 21, 2017, 11:49:24 AM »

Thus far, Wichita gives up a lot of looks from three and can be overaggressive in terms of fouls. If we're hitting outside shots and getting to the line, we can win this. If we try to pound inside and play the physical game, we likely lose. I think we'll play to our strengths.

damuts222 · « **Reply #46 on:** November 21, 2017, 11:57:08 AM »

Is the line really +12..ouch no respect i tell ya

GoldenZebra · « **Reply #47 on:** November 21, 2017, 11:59:49 AM »

The press is gonna bother MU, but maybe today is the day where everyone can not pick up quick fouls and we might be given a chance to beat the press. If there is any early foul trouble I just dont see it. Hopefully WSU is too tired to play, but our guys are probably just as tired as they fought to win last night as well.
88-80 Wichita...ugh.

#UnleashSean · « **Reply #48 on:** November 21, 2017, 12:09:22 PM »

Rowsey drops 40. John doesnt foul once, MU wins by 3.
