Starting early because I couldn't get the pun out of my head.

Maximize your potential!

Because that's where their stadium is? Villanova plays most of their home games on campus. Especially weekday games

Here’s hoping both teams have fun tonight. What a great opportunity to compete and learn valuable life skills in an athletic competition.

LFG!!! Own the paint and mercilessly attack from every conceivable angle on both ends of the floor.

Vital Dr.B.

Nova is favored? Play with a chip on our shoulders and unrelenting fury from minute one.

The Wells Fargo Center is 15 miles away from campus taking the shortest route. It makes Wintrust seem convenient for DePaul students.

It’s great how Fiserv is only a mile from MU’s campus.

This is a big one. Win tonight and it builds on the momentum over past few games. Cautiously optimistic.

Have beaten them four in a row and last two there, they will be ready for the Warriors.

Actually Shaka is 5-0 versus Nova. This is a tipping point game with all MU injuries.

OT but have there been any updates on Ross’s return?

Really since we lost to Butler they're all big ones if we want to repeat - get to 4 conf losses to teams not named UCONN (including @CU) and we'll likely have to beat them twice to get a title (as well as getting some help). Upshot is, Torvik has this as our toughest game remaining outside those 3 - win tonight and we're sitting in decent shape.

Tonight will be a battle. Villain-nova is desperate for a win, and they are home a and favored. Need to show them that them being favored was a mistake. Chip on shoulder? Check

No Prize picks up currently. Waiting on Kam news??

Per Ben Steele - Kam Jones is working around the clock to have his ankle ready. Chase Ross is day-to-day, not cleared for full contact but is doing shooting drills.

I don't know that MU has ever played them at WF- definitely not since 2014-15 season.

Anyone else going to be at The Finn tonight, and at Gallery Place Saturday?

mugrad_89 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 30, 2024, 09:19:42 AM »

Gonna be a challenging game playing a desperate Nova team with possibly 3 of our top 8 out. I think this will be where the team’s championship mettle comes out.

Goose · « **Reply #20 on:** January 30, 2024, 09:26:15 AM »

This team has played a lot of big games together and have delivered more times than not. Experience and having been to battle together were two of the big reasons for my optimism going into the season. It will be tested tonight.

Jay Bee · « **Reply #21 on:** January 30, 2024, 09:29:31 AM »

If the 3s keep fallin, MU will be ballin

I agree with that and going to be theme until there are no more games to be played. If the final game of this year ends in a loss, I think we all can make a pretty guess on what the cause of the loss was.

BrewCity83 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 30, 2024, 09:37:08 AM »

If the twines are tickled, Nova will be pickled.
