Cooley & Company in Town

[Herman Cain]

One of my favorite MU rivalries is with Cooley & Company. They are not a hated rival in my book but definitely guys I enjoy seeing us beat on a pure basketball level. They always have those athletic teams, so the win is definitely well earned.

The History of the series  has been fun and spirited games. Who can ever forget the bat game and Cooley terrified of the bat. Markus first 50 point game .  Henry leading the charge over the Friars when they were rated 8th. DAvante 60 foot shot waived off for being to late.

Cooley is smart and good coach but also has that slightly wacky way about going life. Loved the miked game and hearing him rip on the refs, Coaching with a towel  while his pants were torn. Ect. Now hearing Wojo says he hopes their team goes to Real Chili at 3 am the night before the game. Just adds to history of humor around this.

This twitter post cracks me up.

There is respect, as there should be.   I think Cooley is a solid coach.   I bear no ill will toward Providence.   I just want to kick their butts every single time.

And yes, I hope the Friar team is hanging out at Real Chili at 3am.

Still upset we played that ice rink game at the dunk.

Yes.  Another one was the Bradley Center Bat attacking no other than Kadeem Batts.

Which is why it's a travesty that they dressed up the golden eagle as batman against nova instead of saving it for tomorrow

[We R Final Four]

Exactly.  Batman golden eagle for Nova?  ok

Next 5 are very winnable. Let's start with this one tonight.

@ Seton Hall is likely a loss

But definitely one of the candidates to "steal" on the road. We'll need 1 or 2 of those if we want to get where we're hoping to.

open MU -5.5 and 145.5

[TSmith34, Inc.]

ESPN has an 82.8% chance to win for MU.  I was surprised when I looked at this before the Villanova games and they had MU with something like a 64% chance to win.  Let's hope they are correct again.

[MU82]

Next 5 16 BEast games + BET + NCAA are very winnable. Let's start with this one tonight.

FIFY

open MU -5.5 and 145.5

I believed it opened with Marquette at -8
Down Tuesday morning to -5.5

[MU82]

I never bet on MU games, but I like us giving 5 1/2.

[Goose]

I would been on wrong side of bet on Saturday by a wide margin, but would give the 5.5 tonight.

[T-Bone]

I like Cooley.  I hate Austin Croshere.

I think I'm less confident in MU -5.5 than I was in MU -2 vs. Nova, but I do think I'll take MU -5.5.

Why was the Golden Eagle, Batman this past Saturday?

78% chance in KPom.  77% in TRank.

I'm guessing the eagle does that when we wear the black jerseys. I'm guessing the black jerseys were due to being on FOX. Maybe the players really like them, otherwise, not sure why they wouldn't go light blue or gold.

The Sparrow was spotted at Jimmy John's in a walking boot. We can only hope the Batman is the new mascot.
