[tower912]

Fredrick King ,of Blue Jays ,has shown flashes all year. Has a bright future .

As expected ,for a coach of Sean Millers caliber, X made adjustments and is back in the game .

And then Creighton made adjustments and took over again. 

[SoCalEagle]

Creighton is doing their part.

Time for us to do our part. 

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Creighton has Georgetown next so they'll likely be moving to 8-3 in conference.

Quality win for The Blue Jays

[Herman Cain]

The Hall off to a solid start at Butler.

[Herman Cain]

The Hall gets back on track against The Bulldogs.  Next game for The Hall at The Johnnies. Hopefully the Pirates can keep their winning ways up.  Our road win over them will be valued highly.

[HowardsWorld]

Marquette has 6 games left against the bottom 5 teams in the Big East. Some of these teams are downright terrible. Anything less than 16-4 at this point would be disappointing.

Butler blows

Thoughts on how we will matchup with Creighton and our chances of winning in Omaha? I had mono a few months ago and know first-hand how, just when you think you are over it, a mild relapse is always possible. I had a few, but that does not mean Kalk did. Translation: Kalk may have suffered from aftereffects when we played them in Milwaukee. I'm not a physician- just a guess.

Kalkbrenner didn't play our last game and King ate our lunch. I think at CU is our toughest game remaining. We'll need to lock up Nembhard and Alexander like we did last time and figure out a way to contain Schiermann and Kaluma. Kalkbrenner is good, but I don't think he can beat MU himself. He isn't Edey.

I think both teams are playing better ball now then when we first met in the league opener. Our schedules are similar except the Bluejays play at home in 2 of the their "tough" games.

Oh that's right. Kalk watched from the bench.

As a poster on Holyland pointed out, Creighton has two road games before coming to Milwaukee- Providence on 2/14 and St. Johns on 2/18- while Marquette will have a 6 day break after our home game vs. Xavier. 

Agree on Creighton @ Omaha being our toughest remaining game. Judging them by their record vs. what we saw yesterday (yeah, even though it was only one game), I'm going with the Xavier beatdown version of Creighton that we will face. We can definitely take them down in Omaha, but a LOT of things have to go "just right".   

[Goose]

I think we have three really tough games remaining. If they could go 2-1, I think that would be a great accomplishment. Creighton might end up being the team to beat for BE title. Hoping PC slips up today because it would be nice to see more room between the top four teams.

Another good article on Creighton from their local writer at RealChili 83s favorite publication the "Omaha Whirld Herald "

Should we want Prov or Nova?

[HowardsWorld]

Should we want Prov or Nova?

Novas season is over and to keep the big east top heavy we need providence to remain winning against all the bad teams. They will take their losses to the top teams in the conference but a loss to a nova team is not only bad for Providence but the whole conference.

Nah.

Providence is a slight favorite.
They can lose by 5 or less and not really be affected in any way other than pushing them further from a BE title and a top 2 seed in the Conf Tournament

Justin Moore is back for Nova today.

That game on Wednesday might not be the cakewalk people seem to think it is. Nova gave MU all it could handle the first time and they will be stronger this time around.

Want MU to have as many quality wins as possible for seeding . We finished both our games with Cooley & Company. So for todays purposes rooting for them.

Yup.

In the Jay Wright era we used to say that Marquette always plays Villanova tough.

I'm the Shaka Smart era that changes to Villanova always plays Marquette tough.

Good place to be.

That said, Wednesday won't be easy.
Heightened expectations and pressure due to rise in ranking and first place in conference.
Add to that a few distractions due to injury concerns and pending National Marquette Day hoopla on Saturday, along with a hungry Villanova team with its leader back.

Dare I say trap game? 😂

Morry's closed in 1995.  Might want to get out of the basement

Sorry, havent lived in the area for a long time. guess that means that you should get out of the basement also, since you were clueless to that.

I don't understand taking more than a passing interest in what MU opponents do when it comes to NCAA seeding.

MU's seeding will be based largely on what they do themselves the rest of the way and only minimally on what other conference teams do.

Given the parity in college basketball these days, the path to advance in the NCAA tournament isn't going to be significantly affected one way or another based on a change of one or two spots in the seed list. Those little things can be important for teams squarely on the bubble, not for teams safely in the field.

That having been said I care more about MU winning the BE championship  than I do about their specific spot on the NCAA seed list. So, Go Nova, beat Providence.
