yep. he also said a school like Marquette can easily replace Buzz Williams, while Va Tech could not. MU being a basketball only school with lots of resources to throw around.

Interesting to see the defending National Champions listed as a sleeper and projected 12 seed.

AZMarqfan

Marquette is a potential sleeper, but I'm worried they won't get out of the 1st round.  It has seemed the last few years like the NCAA games haven't been called as tightly as the regular season.  Perhaps there's a memo that they want games on time (at least that's what my group speculated the last two years).  If Howard shoots 10+ FT in the 1st round, we advance.  But if he can't get the the line much, we don't.  Really would love to see this be a Sweet 16 year.

Sitting here today, I think this group has better chance to make some noise in March than I felt last year at this time. This group is playing good D, rebounding well and seems like multiple guys are stepping up when needed.
Plus college ball is down as a whole and only a few teams that stand out. Lastly, it seems like scoring points is lost art at the college level this season and MU can score. I would be more surprised with a one and done than us playing the second weekend this year.

Not saying I disagree - UVa definitely is a bubble team this season.

It's just that NC caliber teams typically have the ability to reload, at least to the point of easily getting back into the Dance.

makes one wonder if any of their transfers are having any 2nd thoughts?  or will they be "the difference"?

Right now, I think I'd agree with you on most of this. This group has done a nice job of fighting through some of the issues they faced earlier in the season (turnovers, traveling, unclear roles, etc), and they seem to really be hitting their stride. Another key thing is that we've got a locker room full of guys that stuck it out through some tough internal situations, which probably gives them a tighter bond and even a little chip on their shoulders.

This could happen if Markus goes Kemba.  If that happens I would think a final four is not out of the question.

Probably won't.

I think every game from here on out is winnable, so in that sense, I agree. That said, I think it's highly unlikely. I expect 1-2 more losses, and 3-4 wouldn't shock me.

This year in particular I think it matters less than others as far as odds of making a deep run. I prefer the 4 or 6 lines because I hate 5/12 games, but after that, I don't think there's a ton of difference between the 3 and 6 lines from a team quality perspective, and you still likely have to beat a 2 and a 1 to get to the Final Four, the only difference seeding makes is which order you see them in. This isn't a year where you have overwhelming 1-seeds you want to avoid at all costs, and it may actually be better to see a team like SDSU that hasn't faced stiff competition in a long time sooner rather than later.

If the basketball gods are reading this thread(and why wouldn't they be??  :P). I ask of you two things please...This year in Markus Howard's Senior year, PLEASE give Marquette as easy of a 1st round matchup as possible. Second, please see to it, that there is chaos in their bracket, so it works out that Marquette is playing the lowest possible seed in their 2nd round game. Something like a 13-16 seed would be fantastic! Thank you basketball gods for reading this thread, and considering my request.  8-)

Interesting thought, Goose. A year ago, Markus was magical, the Hausers were turning in some huge games, Sacar and Theo were contributing a lot, we were in the top-10 nationally and we were about 10 weeks into a 12-week stretch during which we went 20-2.

I felt DAMN good about our chances last year at this time.

Having said that, I also feel good about our chances now for many of the reasons you (and others) state. We're a good team that can get on a nice roll hitting 3s but also can gut out more ugly wins.

There's a chance we could win out.......there's a chance you could win the lottery.......I wouldn't bet on either.

Just try to beat Creighton and go from there. They are playing great with recent road wins over. Nova and the Hall.

Tough matchup for us.

If MU made a deep run then the Wojo can't win a post season game would end. Blessing.

If your scenario played out the Wojo can't win against a team seeded higher than him would start. Curse.
