At what point do we start blaming Notre Dame if we get a 4 or 5 seed.  NET of 194...wtf...try to schedule a difficult True road win and much closer to being a quad 4 game than a 2 or one that would have been historically projected.

[tower912]

Can't be controlled how bad ND, GTech, or Wisconsin turned out to be.   21-6 is pretty good.

A voice of reason. Go away!

We should be proud of where Shaka has taken the us. He has absolutely no control over what our former opponents do. And Hell yes, 21-6 is pretty good.

But is it good enough ?

[tower912]

Good enough for what?   

[willie warrior]

But is it good enough ?

21-6 is damn good for a team that coaches of the conference picked to be on final step to cellar. Shaka has the team overachieving from expectations. If we can beat Creighton on their floor(a very tough task) then we should be regular season champs--a far cry of the Wojo years as regular season chumps.

Sadly, McDermott owns Shaka

During the live reveal show on CBS, Jay Wright was quick to talk about the Big East, making a push for Creighton to be in the top 16 with the other Big East schools.

The committee chair, Chris Reynolds, AD at Bradley, who was on the show, made it clear that teams winning games on the road against good teams mattered.

[Mu8891]

Well ... MU was awful v Creighton last year, as I recall.  This season may be different...


And, I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see MU winning at Creighton.

[HowardsWorld]

Marquette is beyond due for a good shooting game might as well be against creighton

Definitely a valid criticism of MU's resume. We don't have any wins away from home that are of any significance. The teams ahead of us all have a few good road/neutral wins.

Tuesday is a great opportunity in that regard as is the BET. Though I'm 99.99% convinced we will be locked in with our seeding and matchup before BET play starts anyway. Way too many logistics go into the selection process to make many changes at that point imo.

In my recollection all our games last year against Creighton were pretty close—and last year doesn't matter anyway. This year we are 1-0. Let's make it 2-0 and we are in great shape.

If Wardle can't talk his AD into a better seed for MU, he doesn't deserve to be our coach in the future.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

If Wardle can't talk his AD into a better seed for MU, he doesn't deserve to be our coach in the future.

Maybe Wardle's upset Marquette hired Shaka instead of him and he did the opposite.

Talk will simply not do it. Buzz's 9-page letter last year almost worked, right?

So, don't go beyond the 6th man.

[cheebs09]

Kind of surprised to see Joplin up there. A shorter rotation in the tournament should help us, assuming they can keep up that level of production with more minutes.
