Radford.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold.  He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.

Has nothing to do with this team or Marquette.

Has Shaka lost a game here to a mid-major outside of St. Bonaventure that was in the Top 25?

But you're ignoring the main reason.  Nothing to gain, everything to lose.

Advancing in the NCAA tournament is the biggest gain that I can possibly think of. What is more important/motivating than that?

Do you get to pick? I thought they always use most recent college.

Jimmy Butler and Tyler JUCO say you get to choose.

That would not be fun......for Green Bay.  We would destroy them.
The shaka sign, sometimes known as "hang loose", is a gesture of friendly intent often associated with Hawaii and surf culture.

I too get very upset when MU gets a high seed and plays the mid-majors that we have nothing to gain from. Wojo's strategy of double-digit seed was by far his greatest attribute.

Actually, missing the tournament is the best guaranty to not end up in a "no win" situation. The fact is, DePaul is playing chess and Duke, MU & Kansas are dopes playing checkers.

I think you've missed the point.  He's hoping to play UW Green Bay.

Reality is that they'll play whomever is in front of them.

Given the choice, I'd rather play a school that isn't from in state.  Because if for some reason they lose, the torment never ends.

If they lose to Vermont, no one says anything ever.  If they lose to UWGB on the other hand...

Mike Decourcey is the 1st one I've seen to have Marquette and UWGB matchup in the 2/15 1st round matchup.

That would be fun!

Finally.  Now Marquette can’t dodge them

If MU loses to ANY 15 seed in the first round, the shouts of "Shaka can't win in the NCAA tournament" would be deafening.

I would happily take my chances with UWGB. I don't think they'd be as dangerous as last year's Princeton team was for Arizona.

Yes.  Obviously.  But it would objectively worse losing to 15 UWGB than 15 anyone else.

This isn't brain surgery.

I didn't say I wanted it. I said it would be fun.

Marquette is going to be loads better than any 15 seed they would play.

It isn’t brain surgery but it’s also a matter of opinion evaluating degrees of extreme disappointment.

It might be worse for some people but it wouldn’t be worse for me.

https://www.nj.com/sports/2024/02/uconns-dan-hurley-doesnt-care-if-huskies-are-projected-no-1-seed-in-ncaas-says-big-east-doesnt-get-enough-respect.html?outputType=amp

What a GREAT ARTICLE.

This is a must read for all scoopers, thanks for sharing Herman.

Hurley said a ton of great, and accurate things.

Here’s an example
 “Marquette’s a national championship caliber team this year, people think we are,” Hurley added, “and Seton Hall’s beaten both us and them so if the tournament’s about who can you beat....”

The domination that UConn put on the field last year, and the domination that Marquette put on them winning both regular season titles, doesn’t get talked about enough.
This league is tough as nails, and doesn’t get the credit it deserves in NCAA field projections.

‘I don’t know the ins and outs of everyone’s resume, but I’ll say this, those games are tougher game for us than anything we played in the non-conference, with the exception of the road game at Kansas, and we played some really good non-conference games,” Hurley said.

What we’ve witnessed the past few conference seasons has been incredible and will go down in Marquette folklore for years and decades to come.

Win Saturday, and that becomes even more apparent.
