I guess this is a good thread for predictions: so 88-81 Marquette

I have not seen signs that Wojo's teams give up.

Down 17 to the defending national champs/No. 1 team in the country last season, rallied to win.

Either rallied to win or held off rallies against Creighton (twice), Seton Hall, etc.

Even this year's VCU, Vermont and Eastern Illinois wins showed a lot of fight, and they certainly didn't "give up" against Wichita State.

I'm pretty good at spotting teams that "give up." Maybe somebody can illustrate a couple of examples where it's happened the past couple of years, but I think those would be the exceptions.


Every team has occasions where they "give up."  Buzz's did too.

The original point was poor and your follow up was spot on.
