MU v UNC

[5DollarPitcher]

Blame others for your own outlook. Beautiful.

You control your own actions, thoughts and words. If we lose Wednesday, you'll be happy. If we lose big, you'll be giddy. Bravo!

Meanwhile, I'll have the temerity to root for us to win. All of us who will be doing that ... we're such terrible fans, I know.

We Are Marquette! (most of us, anyway.)

Maybe we can be friends and talk basketball when there's a new coaching staff. I'd love nothing more.

[DoctorV]

We can at least give Steve some credit for scheduling a nice game in a season gone awry no?

Let get that dub

Ditto. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Go Marquette!

[4everwarriors]

Yeah, Tarheels are having a down year...for them. But not as chitty as ours. Figurin' on an ass kickin', hey?

[mileskishnish72]

In March of '77, a good MU team beat a good UNC team. This year, I think we're about to learn that a subpar UNC team beats a subpar MU team. Glad it got scheduled, though, it makes things interesting in the middle of a crummy week in the middle of winter and a pandemic. Be Warriors!

After all is said and done, booking this game demonstrates real competitiveness by Wojo, his team and the administration.  Great Marquette, never quit, never say die attitude.  Win or lose it helps all around, KUDOS to all.

Yep, Sports Reveals.

Being a little slow, a little short, a little young, and a little thin is one thing, but showing competitiveness, spunk, and stick-to-itiveness is golden. 
What this team lacked from the get go was tude. 
I'm seeing it developing, good for them.  This kind of a move develops character. 
Our end of season winning streak begins.

Hope your right, these kids play hard and never seem to Give up.  It would be a nice reward for them and I hope that most of us would like to see it happen.

Sure has the makings of a butt whipping!

Maybe you'll get the result you want and you'll really be able to rip your alma mater's coach and players. How fortunate for you that would be!

KPom has MU as 9 point dogs now.

[vogue65]

Did UNC score 99 points tonight against Louisville?
Great, we have them just where we want them, coming off a blow out win.

[Dish]

KPom has MU as 9 point dogs now.

Power rankings I use would have UNC -8.5 .

[BaltimoreMC]

It will be interesting to hear how this came together.  Also will be interesting to see where this will be televised.  My guess is that we will see a lot of grainy film from 1977 and a lot of Wojo floor slapping.

Jordan Brand schools, open TV slot, both teams need games/wins.

North Carolina by 18. 12 if Lewis can help.

Wojo media availability.     Talks about the 'why'.

"I'm kinda disappointed that I won't get any boos, cuz that's what I'm used to when I go over there."

He was talking about the Dean Dome ... but might as well have been talking about his home arena.

[The Sultan]

If memory recalls, we were outscored 30-5 to end the first half that game.

[We R Final Four]

MU hasn't played any team this year that even comes close to the athleticism and talent of UNC...even in this down year. We are at the bottom of a very down Big East. It is late February....not exactly Wojo's time.  This isn't 1977. This isn't Dean vs Al. This one I fear could get ugly.

You realize the ACC is complete trash as well right??

As ugly as it got for Buzz, Jimmy, Jae, DJO, etc?

We will find out tomorrow

[Shooter McGavin]

This would be the year to play ND, an ACC team that is ripe for the picking no matter how bad we are.  Their defense is horrendous.  Next year if Wojo gets canned and everyone leaves it will be an unfortunate time to have the home and home series.  Two more Ws by ND would be hard to take.  Too many in-laws went there.

I'm sure our representation of the Big East against the trashy ACC will set the record straight tomorrow night.
