•   Marquette probably won't get an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, although they have an outside shot.
•   As for an automatic bid ... Marquette has a 3% chance to win the conference tournament. The outlook is bleak, but stranger things have happened.

Not quite sure where this info is coming from, but I would imagine a win at Purdue would alter their data significantly.

Tough to read into any projections like this early in a season with so many unknowns, but it will be interesting to see how this changes from week to week based on single game results.

Marquette shows up in Jon Rothsteins Top 45, at 45.

"45. Marquette: This feels like one of Shaka Smart's teams from VCU."

Hopefully the one that won tourney games.

KenPom says tomorrow will be an ugly day for MUBB, as does Haslametrics.

Marquette also 1-9 against Purdue All Time.  Road games can be impossible. Marquette will likely be an underdog in Vegas as well.

All of that to say..."F*** em." -Tyler Kolek

Classic slow vs. fast tempo matchup. If MU can jump on them early and make Purdue play from behind, we have a chance. A game of attrition would be bad news for MU.

Fiserv Forum?

That is FIFO. If we're VCU final 4 all the way.

Speed them up, get Edey uncomfortable, and hit some shots. Let's go!

[MuggsyB]

Purdue
is
very
beatable.

Listen to the Scoopers who have written about tempo and not getting cheap fouls on Edey. Obviously it will be a challenge but we're not playing the Bucks.  Control tempo, collective rebound, speed them up, force sone turns, get the three ball cooking and attack them all over the floor.

Purdue is 97-11 at Mackey in its last 108 games. Unstoppable big against the lack of our interior and competent guards. Not getting my hopes up.

[Jay Bee]

Last time they lost a home non conf game was to Shaka. The following game they lost at MU (to Wojo no less!)

[Elonsmusk]

I believe we can (and will) beat Purdue.  Edey will be a one-man wrecking crew for them, but they have young guards and I think our guards/O-Max will give them trouble.  The best way we can slow Edey is to apply intense ball pressure on their guards and make it difficult for them to make quality post-entry passes.

I think we go 10 deep tomorrow night and see a lot of Chase Ross, Sean Jones, and Stevie rotating onto their guards.  The road game factor is the part that gives me pause on a victory, yet I think we pull an upset.

[tower912]

We agree on the way MU is going to have to play.   I hope Wrightsil is healthy.    And I think MU needs all 11.       
Speed them up, pressure the guards.    When Edey gets the ball under the basket, let him score.    Don't pointlessly foul him in a vain attempt to stop a dunk.  Stay out of foul trouble.     Front him.    Use athleticism and jumping ability to disrupt lob passes to him.  Hope MU can make it rain from 3.

This is a huge loss.  Keep it within 30

I'd bet on a 20 point loss

I'd be happy with a 10 point loss

I will not be happy with a loss.
