Marquette opens +5.5 vs. UCLA

[Its DJOver]

Lol Cronin didn't throw the punches. Get off your high horse.

Cronin didn't throw any punches, but he was the one that decided that it is okay to throw punches and still be a player in his program.  The buck stops with the head coach, if you can't control your players that's on you.

And Mack went very soft on his suspensions. Where's the outrage there pal?

Cronin has zero ncaa infractions and is by all accounts highly respected in the biz.

Mack on the other hand.....

Are we playing Mack's team tomorrow? Where you gonna move the goalposts next?

When I checked mid week what the projected line was with the power ratings I like, MU was +6.5 (before KSU game).

I'm now going to duck and run for cover.

[Shooter McGavin]

As a realist, I would understand a loss to UCLA. And unless we give it away, I won't be overly disappointed. But I won't celebrate a close loss to anyone.

And I don't think you will either.

That's correct.  A close loss would be more painful.  If it's within 5 points after 38 minutes I'm going get greedy and want the win.

Then I guess the team should get greedy and get the win.

Amen to that!

Lol - you brought up the fight. I'm still talking about the fight. You're realizing you went Kellerman with your take and now you're dodging. Nice try.

Nope, I provided evidence for why Cronin is a POS.  You have then been deflecting with whataboutism trying to shift the blame onto Mack.  Keep shifting the goalposts and defending the POS all you want.

[rocket surgeon]

from what i've seen so far, we are scrappy as balls.  we have a bunch of 3 and 4 star gym rats including the coach.  what a perfect time to (over) achieve, aka rutgers and put ourselves on the early ncaa radar.  shaka is preaching W's even if he is prepping for the lakers.  there is no quit in this team

    i'd rather be playing a team like ucla early in the season than later.  t kolek hits a few of those open 3's changes a whole bunch of things.  the inner homer in me is goin for the gold...only one team gets the trophy here and might as well be the warriors

And the reason you said he's a POS was the fight bozo

[Its DJOver]

No, the reason that he's a POS is his response (or lackthereof) to the fight, not the actual fight, and the fact that you're resorting to name-calling kinda tells me that you know I'm right.  Enjoy the game today, I'm done with you on this thread.

And i told you about the other coaches poor response to the fight... Bozo city population you.

In a discussion about UCLA and its coach on the day we play UCLA, trying to pivot to another coach not involved in either program nor today's game seems like an odd choice. Might as well bring Pitino and Sean Miller into it, since Cronin and Mack served as assistants to them. Is this the place for Louisville and Arizona sanctions (or lack thereof) too?

Obviously this is facetious, but if we're talking about Cronin, there's no need for whataboutism to someone not related to today's game.

[JakeBarnes]

ESPN has line at UCLA -7 now

Except it's not what about ism because he talked about how one coach is a POS because he went soft on suspensions. It's off limits to then bring up the coach on the other side of the fight and how he handled the situation worse ? Looks like it's population of 2 in bozo land.

[goldeneagle91114]

Has Cody Riley's status for todays game been announced?

[willie warrior]

I dunno man, Kevin Willard certainly tops Huggy Bear and Pitino for me.

Mah. Pitino has to be on MU fans all time prick coach, just for his general all around sleaziness.

Marquette should have hired him last spring.  Titles are forever

No, it's irrelevant to the discussion of UCLA. And you're still alone there.

Not yet.

It's actually very relevant when bozo number one brings up why he's a pos and I respond with relevant information on why he shouldn't be viewed in that light. Bury your head in the sand even more next time.

[The Sultan]

Didn't realize Mick Cronin has a family member posting here. 

[NickelDimer]

Let's get to the real matter and whether we approve of Cronin's (or Mack's) game day attire

[bilsu]

Marquette got beat easily by the two fundamentally sound teams we played. Is UCLA just going to try to out talent us or are they a fundamentally sound team?
