goinUptown

the 5 of 6 losses to end the season were due almost exclusively to tired legs and minor but nagging injuries, a function of playing with a super-tough-never-back-down identity (newly found this year, by the way) in the most grueling, physically demanding conference in the nation

now that the TEAM has rested and a humongous chip placed on their shoulder because of the Seton Hall debacle, not only are we rested, but we are super-pissed at the same time; not only will we be back to top form, we'll actually reach a new high, just in time to beat Murray State AND the next comer

then all bets are off given the emotion from Seton Hall wears off, but seems at least S16 to this prognosticator

Glad you're confident, Up. Bill Belickek says you are what your record is, and our record lately, especially late in games, shows a lot of not gettin' it done. Hearing a lot of excuses and rationalizations on the board but the facts are what the facts are. I think it HAS to be in their minds at this stage. Let's hope they can use the admittedly unfair situation in the Garden to get over it!

Man I wish we had Jimmy Butler shutting down Ja like he did Tu Holloway.  Sacar just isn't at that level.

Going to be a rough game. We don't really have anyone to stop him. Hoping for an MU win but prepared for the loss.

My absolute biggest concern defending Ja is foul trouble. I see him getting the star treatment from the refs today

You would think Murray State is a 1 seed who is undefeated.

On the second day of back to back games.    And, Powell, Booth, and Akinjo?   And McClung, for that matter?

I am where I was four days ago also.  OVC conference vs BE.  Sub par opponents for them and not MU.
Let Morant go off for whatever, contain the others. 
A loss would be huge disappointment.

Agreed. Sad that people are expecting/prepared to lose in March

I agree with all of your arguments and fervently hope that your take is better than mine.

Are you expecting to go undefeated the rest of March?

+ a sideways 8.  To a 12-seed no less.  By a top ten ranked team (when healthy) for Christ's sake.

"Preparing for a loss" is tantamount to hoping that Markus is still injured.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Had Powell on lock down until the ref farce

We got this!

Yes, I hope so.  The foul issue may ensue and this place will got berserk with the refs again though.
Sacar must, must not get there.  Wojo might put Bailey on Morant, but the guy is way too quick and will drive right past him. Maybe Cain would be more viable, we'll see. 

Another hope is that early on, Morant drives the the rim and Theo clobbers him and say get that crap out of here.

The OVC has no competition overall as the BE and the teams MSU has played and beat (exception Belmont, who was without best player) are pathetic.  This should be a win and if not, then again, a huge disappointment.

There are more than two players in this game. Which Hauser is their 6'5" forward going to guard? Match ups go both ways.

I like your Honest opinion after 4days reflection.  I will be interested in your post game Self analysis of what things made you right or conversely what things made you wrong.  Thanks.

As we get closer to game time, I think Sacar is going to have big, big time troubles today. I think it is going to take a very big team effort to pull it out this afternoon.

Gonna have to wait.  Watching the game on DVR.  Baseball practice during.

Their 6'5" wing is a very good defender. I'd question more which Hauser is the their 245 lb slow footed forward going to guard?
