Bold Prediction??

[MuggsyB]

Is anyone here picking MU to win tomorrow?  Can we stay within range?  I haven't watched UNC much this year.  Absolutely despise Roy, hopefully we can keep it close, hit triples, and get to the line.  Realistically we have a .1.7% chance which is tough.

[GooooMarquette]

We got this.

[MuggsyB]

We got this.

MU 67, UNC 59 ?

Coaches I can't stand in no particular order:

Roy

Oh, Muggsy, don't limit yourself.   You hate K, Izzo, Cal ....basically the legends.   As well as everybody in the Big East, most of our non-cons. ..


Who do you actually like?

I will admit that I dislike certain people more than the ones I like.

We are going to have out butts given to us..they destroy us in second half. Their bigs  will  have their  way with us.

Huggy

You lost me here as he seems like a great coach but someone i wouldn't let within a mile of my kid (can't argue with the list after)

I have heard very good things about Huggy the man.  He's a little intense and needs to take better care of himself but I have a soft spot for the guy for some reason.

Can we guard them at all in your opinion?  Sounds like you anticipate a blood bath.

And if MU loses by 20.....you can shout from the mountain tops that you are a real fan of your Alma mater because you thought they actually might win.
If you are wrong, Please come back here and say you were wrong. Nothing more.
Not I was wrong....but I'm a bigger fan blah blah blah.
Not I was wrong....but at least I don't go through life blah blah blah.
If you are wrong....just come on here and say you were wrong. Nothing more. No additional comments on any thread.

Don't forget to add Wojo-Dukiet to your like list.

[NCMUFan]

Hopefully it will not be the final four blood bath when Roy was coach at Kansas.
Roy is good at knowing opponent weaknesses and his strengths against them and pretty much ramming it down the opponents throat. 
But you never know, a miracle could happen.

Of course I'll say I was wrong. I've been wrong before and I've owned up to it, and I'll be wrong again, perhaps as soon as today. I'm not gonna promise not to comment about anything else on any thread, though. I mean, what kind of "cancel culture" are you promoting?

And these are just predictions. They are not a measurement of fandom. Predicting a 10-12 Marquette team that isn't very good in the first place and is without one of its key players to lose to a talented 14-7 UNC team that is playing quite well lately ... that's just logical and has nothing to do with who is a better fan. Now, openly rooting for one's supposedly favorite team to lose? That's another story IMHO.

In the meantime, I will be looking forward to you providing evidence that numerous Scoopers proclaimed Oso "the second coming."

Thanks in advance!

MU has to slow the tempo, keep turnovers to a minimum, and to have a strong trey shooting game. And of course, continue to play with its strength defending the paint (without fouling). A tall order considering this team's tendencies.

But, I think we keep it close and have a puncher's chance. MU will really miss JFL in this one. It could be a Dunkirk if we continue not to value each possession and get into foul trouble.

Like other traditional powers that were struggling earlier in the season (Duke, Kansas, MSU) UNC seems to be getting its act together.

MU winning this game, especially with the lack of depth in the front court, would be a major surprise.

[Shooter McGavin]

Wojo needs a quick hook with Koby again.  Zero tolerance for unforced errors.  Don't get me wrong, I want Koby to have a great game.  But any dumb passes leading to turnovers, drives into triple coverage leading to traveling calls and more than two missed layups in a row should lead to a quick hook. 

Need to value the basketball to win.

UNC starts two guys upfront that are 6ft 10 and 6ft 11, along with a 6ft 8 inch guard.
Two major bench players are 6ft 11 and 7ft 1.

Without Justin Lewis, if Theo or Garcia get in foul trouble, this game is over quickly and ugly.
