X is going to be tough

MU ticket allotment sold out. MU pregame event inside the Cintas Center. Musky Scoop fans already protesting with torches and pitchforks.

The Cincinnati Gardens Bar and Grill is hosting a UC event

Most universities start class the Tuesday after MLK day. My guess is plenty of students will be in the house

XU's classes started on the 9th.

Not sure if this has been shared elsewhere but Sean Miller couldn't have been more complementary towards MU in his pre game media session:

I am guessing students will be back for it?

Xavier started this past week.  All the X Students are already back.

In the words of Tyler Kolek:  F**k Em.

Miller employing reverse psychology. He saw that Hurley called them a mid-major and paid the price. Miller is wisely trying to kiss up to them in order to make them play soft. Fact.

That's quite possible. Both Hurley's are clowns.

Muggsy, shortish, hard-nosed PGs.  You should be a fan.

Not particularly proud of it, but I had a pair of Bobby Hurley basketball shoes a long time ago.    I was poor and they were on sale.   Probably paid $25 for them and then played in them for about a year before I killed them.

The Big East couldn't ask for a better prime time slot tomorrow. 2 hot programs on national television immediately preceding a playoff game involving the NYC market.

I didn't say they couldn't play but their coaching antics are not particularly likeable. 

[tower912]

If they were coaching at MU, how would you find their coaching styles?

Horrid.

Not sure how I missed this, do you have a link to Hurley calling MU a mid-major? I couldn't find anything.

I think MUScoop made it up, to fire up the fanbase and give the guys a competitive edge

Complimentary as well!

He said it before the game on air I believe.  I recall hearing it as well.

[tower912]

I interpreted it as MU runs a disciplined system like a mid major but with high level talent.

[cheebs09]

I believe he said preparing for Marquette was like preparing for a low major team with a ton of talent. I took it as a reference to us playing up tempo and not having one star, but rather a good collection of players.

[The Sultan]

That's exactly what he meant. He wasn't calling Marquette mid-major or insulting the players.

[GoldenEagles03]

That's exactly what he meant. He wasn't calling Marquette mid-major or insulting the players.

I think he was moreso saying like a mid-major constructed roster, not relating to talent, but for size.  He knows Marquette is talented and wasn't saying they were mid-major caliber.

[MU82]

It was a poorly worded, bad analogy of a compliment.

No I heard him  say it in a pre-game 2 minute interview.   I was just watching.   So I don't have a clip.  Wish I did - I don't think I was hearing things lol

Very poorly worded and low major  mid major.  There are better ways to say what he was trying to say then, if he was trying to say anything nice.   But he said what he said!   But Marquette won and that's all that counts!
