I would hope not since it's a sell out. (Few singles left)

DePaul gave Seaton  Hall  a scare last night.  You cannot look past DePaul. They are fast and rebound well.

I don't think DePaul is sneaking up on anybody this year.

There is not a single trap game in the BE. Every game is a battle.

This game seems like one where Jayce will struggle vs Reed or Butz playing. That's really my biggest concern.

DePaul can look really good at times, like last night, then Moore turns it over about 10 times, then they are bad.  Very athletic, have to jump on them right away as they
seem to melt as the game goes on.  Not worried about Butz but Reed can be a load.  Need Howard otherwise it will be a real challenge.  There do for a victory sooner
then later.

Huge game. Team is home for almost two weeks now with only 2 games to play in that span. Good chance to recover from injuries and get the legs back. It would be a very long 8 days if MU loses on Saturday.

Let's set some low expectations so we can justify a potential loss at home to DePaul.

Give me a break.  No such thing as a trap game in Big East.

Don't think it's a trap game. It's a tough game coming off a 2OT road game and playing 2.5 days later. We don't play for 8 days after DePaul. Not a trap game, nothing to look ahead to.

If we don't play we'll we can absolutely lose, as Butler, Iowa, Minnesota and TTU found out. DePaul isn't a great matchup for us but it's a game we need to win assuming Markus is playing.

+1 a Scoop requirement it seems. lower expectations so when a loss happens, they can fling excuses left and right. In this instance the #1 thing would be playing without Markus(if that happens). never mind, it's at home, never mind DePaul has 1 win in the Big East. Nevermind MU is a better basketball team. Just ignore all those things and make an excuse(or reason if some want to play it that way) for losing a home game to DuHPaul. They already lost to PC at home. Their losing to crap teams at home has already gone beyond the quota.

Depaul that has beaten Iowa, Texas Tech and Butler. They're definitely not good, we're definitely better but if there was ever a year (since Chandler was suiting up) to go into this game having respect and caution for Depaul this is it.

Listen, two of those 3 were non conference..and when people were tweeting all this love for DePaul, I tweeted back and told them all, slow your roll, when they get into BE play where teams are familiar with them, they will become DePaul again...a leopard doesn't change it's spots.

Guru ... there are 17 posts in this thread. Sixteen of them say it's not a trap game.
Hardly seems like a Scoop requirement.

Did you only read the first sentence of my response? Again if there was ever a year to respect and show caution it's this. Didn't say they were on track for a bid

Has it ever occurred to you that people are just calling it like they see it.???

Do you really think Marquette may not have a let down after that X game???

Do you really think people pointing to Markus being injured are making excuses???

The more likely truth, is  that you're attempting to dismiss legitimate reasons a loss might not be so startling so you can rant about how bad it was and how bad Wojo is.

You're actions are transparent and a little pathetic.

I would argue that DePaul would have a let down after losing a solid halftime lead to Seton Hall. At some point you learn you are not going to actually win games.
Both MU and DePaul are coming off road games. One won and one lost. There is a big difference in team confidence after those games.
