Catching Creighton on 5 game lose streak Good or Bad

[PointWarrior]

but what if it's a "trap" game, playing against a team you already beat 2 times, on their Senior night, but your team may have  "tired legs" despite all being under 22, the freshman are hitting their second wall, in an arena with a poor shooting background, and on national TV.

Why would we get anything less than anyone’s best?

And wearing the championship blue or the grey jerseys.

So, how is everything on the other Board???
( "tired legs" was always my favorite, BTW).

Yes usually not airborne, but I would not want to be near him if he sneezes.   That could spread it through droplets.  I was surprised he was with the team.   Rest is the key to getting over it and I think it takes a while.

I contracted it a few months ago and yes, it can take a while to overcome. It is viral -"Barr Epstein virus" -and took me out at my knees. It can come back once in a while to knock you down, so an extended period of getting plenty of rest is usually needed.

 With all of the above, a disclaimer: I have no medical training. This is just my personal take and a summary of what I have read.

Why?

Because if we don't score any more points this year, we won't win any more games.

Good point

Creighton has to play on Christmas afternoon ( hosting DePaul ).

As a season ticketholder, I kind of  hope the Big East schedulers ( or the TV Network) never makes us do that. Just a personal opinion.

[GoldenEagles03]

-3.5 current line

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Definitely not great.

[rocket surgeon]

our style of play is gonna whup them up good.  give em the 3.5 plus cuz we gonna win by 10-12 and that's with the walk-ons getting to work up a little sweat.  shaka got the boys frothing at the mouth

Can't be too great, tickets for $10 available on StubHub.

Do we know if Kalky is playing? 

[zcg2013]

Was listening to a Big East podcast and the guy who is from Creighton said Kalk has been sick since Maui and likely out until next week.

That being said, I assume he tries to play to help break this slump.

Do we know if Kalky is playing?

[tower912]

If he plays, his stamina isn't going to be there.   I doubt he can play 30 productive. minutes.

[MuggsyB]

We will be underdogs in one home game the rest of the season.  I fully expect us to be in attack mode from here on out and ready to roll for the entire BEast schedule. 

[GoldenEagles03]

Just saw on Twitter that we have only won 1 of our last 8 against Creighton?  Is that true?

I thought we had a huge winning streak against them prior to the 3 losses last year.  I guess the COVID season is easy to forget.

Since the magical win several years back, they are on a 7-1 roll

Mono knocks the hell out of you.  You want and need to sleep a lot.   And it takes a good month or more depending on circumstances.   You can feel fatigued for weeks after you are over it.    That’s a tough one for an athlete to bounce back quickly from.   And certainly would not be 1OO% if he plays.

I had Spring Semester my Junior year at Marquette.  What a miserable way to go through a semester. 
Go to class.  Sleep.  Try to study do homework.  Sleep.  Try to study do homework.  Sleep.
Repeat.
1 month knocked out. 
Then 1 month finally with improvement.
Then 1 month with quick to fatigue.

Not much sympathy from professors from what I recall either..

9 games to judge

We're long overdue. MU big tonight!

We Are Marquette!

True!

I hope Kalkbrenner plays.  With Creighton on a 5 game losing streak, nothing good comes from playing them with him out.

[Goose]

Dr. B pointed out how important the ND was and he was correct. The game tonight is a big opportunity to set the tone for the BE schedule. This is a game they need to win to build mojo for the rest of the season. It is time to get over the hump and stay over the hump. A win tonight would be a nice step in the right direction.

[GoldenEagles03]

I'm mostly curious to see OMax matchup tonight.  Is it Kaluma or Scheierman?  Kaluma may be tougher for Stevie or Kam to guard, but Scheierman has the ability to take control of a game quicker with his 3's if he's hitting (which I expect).

I like Kam getting a shot at Scheierman with Stevie on Nembhard and OMax on Kaluma.

Excited for this one!  Depth is heavily in our favor.  Wear 'em out!
