Scoop is just afraid of Milwaukee.

Only if you're a dentist.

Dick - great post

UWM does have about 500 fans.  They have more in common w / MATC's program than MU's.  LOL

That said, I'd like to see MU play GB or UWM alternate years....  As a buy game.
Period.

* Also, I know people who were at an event w / Bart Lundy.  He said they
are " definitely " interested in playing
MU, FWIW ...

Bart's doing a great job at UWM.  He is very engaged trying to get the alumni involved (versus alienated).  I think there is an issue with playing Horizon teams where the conference will only accept 2-1 games.

What about FAU? Similar to Buffalo.

FAU is going to the American, so I'm guessing buy games are off the table for them now. Might be possible for Charleston or maybe some of the Mountain West or WAC schools as higher level buy targets.

I'm fine with Milwaukee if they will play a buy game. Youngstown or Northern Kentucky, too. But unless we make a practice of mid-major road games (I still think setting up 3 different 3-for-1s with quality mids makes sense, but MU would never do it) none of those teams will be on the table.

[Warriors, Come Out and Playeeyay]

Season ticket newb here...I see they put out a link for downpayment for season tickets.

Is the downpayment $100 flat fee?  Or $100 per seat?  The site doesn't do a good job of explaining that.

I didn't want to open up a new topic for this, so figured this may be the most appropriate one to post for assistance.

As I said above, if our coach and AD think playing UW-Milwaukee makes competitive sense and financial sense, then play them.

But first, UWM has to disabuse itself of the notion that they are a mid-major basketball program. I know that 20 years ago Bruce Pearl told them that they were, but the fact of the matter is that since Butler left, the Horizon has been a one bid league. The reality is that UWM is a barely average program in one of the crappiest leagues in D-1 basketball. No fans, no money, no juice, no history, no radio or TV affiliation--------other than that UWM basketball is a great outfit to do business with.

[Otule's Glass Eye]

Marquette plays Chicago State.  They can play Milwaukee

This.

[PointWarrior]

This.

yep, same terms as Chicago State makes perfect sense...

$100 reservation.....regardless if 1 or 4 seats.

I have no problem with MU playing UWM. In fact I'd be glad to see it.

But all games should be at FF so MU season ticket holders can see them without having to pay extra. There will be plenty of room for any UWM fans that want to attend.

I'll second that. Maybe rotate UWMilwaukee and UWGreenBay every other season. I'd think there would be more interest in those matchups than playing a Chicago State, Coppin State, Arkansas Pine Bluff, or similar.

[cheebs09]

I think at least one game near the end of our run of playing them was pretty close until the end.

I think it took a last second DJO shot to beat them in the one road game. Although it was maybe 50/50 from a fan perspective.

I'm thinking we bring in LMU. It's a fellow Jesuit school and having Stan back in MKE would be great. It's a win / win.

No last second shot to win. 2010, Marquette was up 18, Milwaukee got it down to 2.  MU wins 75-72.   MU played shitty in 2nd half.

All games at Fiserv and split the $$ over a typical buy game.  Both sides win. AND MU can add to the consecutive win streak.

That's right. Just looked up the game recap and DJO hit 2 free throws with 5 seconds left to make it a 3 point lead.

Also, the box score shows the crowd was about 50% capacity. A

Then they would get nothing

Why would UWM get more than any other buy game participant would for any game at the FF?

As much as I support a cross city annual matchup, and a return to the MECCA for the 50th anniversary of the national champion team, I would not treat them any different than any other buy game outside of that MECCA visit.

Because they are local

Theoretically they would have more fans to buy tickets for a game that will have 7000 empty seats.

They also have no travel costs. They should get less than a team coming from far away.

[MU82]

Lowest attendance this past season was 12,244. Attendance will be up next season after the excitement of 2022-23.

Like others, I don't have anything against scheduling UW-Milwaukee, but we certainly shouldn't treat them differently from any other team in their conference. We don't need the 9 fans they'd bring.

[jfp61]

The only weird part about the UWM conversation is why Marquette would ever want to schedule them. UWM isn't a rival. They aren't a strong opponent.  It's basically like scheduling Chicago state with an extra 200 opposing fans in their corner. It's just a dumb game to schedule.

(post world war II)

UWM is tied with 4 other teams (Houston, Kentucky, Illinois, and Toledo) as Marquette's 42nd most frequent opponent of all time. Marquette is 11-0 against them, the average differential is 21.3 points.

Teams Marquette has played more frequently without sharing a conference include Air Force, Bowling Green State, Drake, Valparaiso, Bradley, South Carolina, Western Michigan, Michigan, Green Bay, Kansas State, Michigan State, Fordham, Northwestern, and Wake Forest.

[MU82]

Wut?

We're 39-0 against UWM.
