[Paint Touches] Preseason Previews - New one every weekday

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

https://painttouches.com/2018/09/26/preseason-preview-southern/

Paint Touches is counting down to the exhibition against Carroll by previewing every one of our opponents. We will be starting with who we perceive as the most fattening cupcake and end with the most unbeatable of opponents. We will be looking at what each team lost, what they gained, reasonable expectations for their season, and prediction for how their game with Marquette will go. There will be a new one posted every weekday until there is some actual Marquette basketball to talk about.

Thoughts and comments always appreciated!

First up, Southern

Preview for Seton Hall our pick for the 9 spot in the Big East. Herman, your objection about Quincy McKnight is noted

There's been a lot of hype surrounding they Hoyas this season. I think they are in the right path but still have one more season near the bottom before breaking free.

Next up, the Creighton Blue Jays

Doubt it changes their outlook much, but Antwan Walker was dismissed from the program today.

The day after we post our preview? How inconsiderate.

That's two members of Ewing's first recruiting class dismissed. Both seem to be for non-academic reasons. Fortunately for the Hoyas, they were the two at the back of the rotation.

Last preview for this week is the X-men. The talking heads have them projected all over the place. From top 2 in conference to bottom 2. I think the truth is right in the middle.

Things were a little chaotic yesterday and I missed posting the preview. There will be another one up in a few hours.

The Bulls are quite literally the best buy game on anyone's schedule this season. Herman, your excitement for Jeenathan Williams is noted

Preview of Badger Hate Week. Don't expect a blowout like last season but you should expect to enjoy the results.

Butler is the next foe up. Many pundits are projecting a down year for Butler. They should know better by now.

Thanks for doing these.  I like to read all of these at the end at once as the season approaches.

Agreed, which is why I also think you have them too low. The Butler Way works and while Martin and Wideman are big losses, Baldwin, Jorgenson, and McDermott are solid players. This team just keeps winning, and I think a top-3 finish (honestly, anywhere in the top-3) is within reach.

Someone, I forget who said they were waiting for Indiana, here they are. Only a few more left

Last week of previews before the season is here, so these are the best of the best Marquette will see. First up is St. John's, had to hold off writing this one until last week due to Heron

Good report on Butler. I think Henry Baddley may be a kid who surprises on the upside, sort like Sacar did last year.
