MU will have no problem being highly motivated in '23-24.

While it means little in April, it is very nice to see the preseason hype. It has to help in retaining guys and/or getting guys from the portal or recruiting.

My excuse is that the caffeine from my morning coffee has not kicked in yet, but I did not think of the retention factor, Goose. Spot on.

Hopefully the staff is being proactive and has forbidden player access to all pens and paper.  👀

I agree.  Pretty good media hype.

Marquette consensus #1 across all websites added up. UConn 2, Duke 3.

MU may be third or fourth in the preseason Big East Coaches' Poll.

OK, let's get this straight:

Most of the national media -- the people who dismissed us and Shaka as being DePaulesque in November -- has somehow seen the light and believes we are a legitimate candidate for a National Championship in 2024?

Really?

Sounds like classic overcompensation to me.

Not to be a buzz killer but we got killed on the boards last year. Teams that were physical and bumped us off our game and got in our face drove us batty during the regular season. We won because  we were poised and very well coached!

And, Tom Izzo hasn't yet retired!

Look, I think we have a really good team. Probably, the best we have had since 2003. Our Coach is incredible. Probably the best we've had since McGuire. We have an open scholarship and one hopes we end up with a bruiser somewhere. If we don't, can Oso and Ben bulk up?

But there are enough question marks to make me believe we have a good team -- a regional final team and maybe a Top 10 team. But, maybe we are and I don't see it well enough, but I have trouble believing we're the best!

We'll know after Maui!

We did beat the team that just steamrolled it's way to a national title 2/3 times this year.  Won the same conference they are in by 2 games, won the conference tournament they are in.  Were ranked 6 in the final polls, got a 2 seed.  We saw a Final Four of FAU (9 seed), SDSU (5 seed), Miami (5 seed), and UCONN (4 seed).  Why is it impossible to think that with another offseason of development this team can't win a national championship?

This coming from one of the biggest Scoop doubters going into the 2022-2023 campaign.

We were ranked 6th going into the tourney, got a 2 seed, and have a chance to return our top 9 players.

You still have to prove it on the court but if the team is back intact these rankings are not surprising and deserved, IMO.

According to The Athletic, Bet MGM does not have Marquette among the early favorites.

Connecticut just won its fifth national title since 1999 and already the Huskies are among the favorites to win the title in 2024. The Huskies opened as the co-favorites with Duke and Kentucky to win next year's championship on BetMGM.

All three blue bloods opened with +1200 (12-to-1) odds. Obviously, there are a lot of unknowns around all three teams right now with early NBA Draft entries and the transfer portal still to come. Having no team with even 10-to-1 odds shows how wide open next season appears for now.


Duke +1200
Connecticut +1200
Kentucky +1200
Kansas +1600
Alabama +1600
Arizona +1800
Purdue +1800
Houston +1800

Wagering odds are not the same as picking winners.  Cubs' odds of winning the World Series  are always pretty good, even when they suck, because of the die-hard fans who come to Las Vegas every year and put a bet down on them.

Note that with the exception of Duke, these are all huge state schools with hundreds of thousands of alums and plenty of Walmart fans.
Have some patience, FFS.

We don't have any Hausers on the roster this offseason.  No letters are being passed around the locker room asking all but one player to sign it to get the coach to play a different style.

Yes. I just thought it was interesting among all the glorious MU predictions. They're all gonna lose their shirts when we win it all!
