Kolek Update

[GoldenEagles03]

Stayed in MKE for study hall.

They gave him 'Hooked on Phonics' and he thought it said 'Hooked on Phoenix'.

Book your tickets to the Final Four now.

Lose then game without Kolek and the loss is discounted.
The loss would be more damaging, if we lost this game with a healthy Kolek.
Beating Creighton without Kolek would be huge.  It will be tough to beat Creighton without Kolek, but I do not think it is impossible.

[Tyler COLEk]

The spread is moving aggressively in Creighton's favor. Pretty clear that Kolek will not play. Seeing MU +6.5/+105. Gonna hold a little longer and try to eke out +7.5.

Where are you seeing that?

[MarquetteMike1977]

Where are you seeing that?

Fox Sports has it at 7 and ESPN ticker has it at 7.5. Was it a Providence contact injury or a non contact injury

Non contact - he was jumping and twisting to make a pass.

Can't talk his way in if he's not there.

So much for those who predicted MU would win. 

Looking forward to Gold going up against Kalkbrenner and then Amadou's turn.  Freshmen to get some serious playing time though, heck foul trouble and a walk-on might play.  Kam may have 25 shots today.

Worst is that game is on national TV.  Oh well.

That was fantasy land before Oso's news.

Why? This isn't some one-man team. It would have been hard, but "fantasy?"

[Vander Blue Man Group]

That was fantasy land before Oso's news.

Was it unlikely?  Sure.  Fantasy land?  Absolutely not. 

[nyg]

That was fantasy land before Oso's news.

No, not fantasy, but it's people's opinion and should be so.  If MU won, they are genius, if lose, it's nothing, no ones remembers. Everyone has a right to say.

All I know is that I just got Creighton at +6.5 on Fanduel before it goes up.  Thanks to Titan who posted the Oso news.
Watch, Kam goes nuclear from three and scores forty, Gold blocks all Kalbrenner shots and Mitchell, without foul trouble holds Alexander to two points.

Solid Preview of Next Years Squad

Solid Preview of Next Years Squad

Luckily all of the Creighton starters will be gone next year when this group plays them again.

Incredible self-righteousness about an unexpected illness to Marquette's second best player. I'll be rooting hard against your bet.

[warriorchick]

I am sure the announcers will mention dozens of times that our two best players are out.

Also, who cares what non-fans might think when they watch us today?

Did Kolek travel to the game?
