I like that thread.  Proud of their team, not tearing it down.  Ideas about how to win the game.   Respectful, not intimidated.    Not an eeyore in the bunch.
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

We've lost a lot of games in the NCAAs that were far bigger than a first round game against a 15 seed.

Do you remember Marquette in the 1980s? Hint: I try not to! The 1980s started on that cold March day in 1978 with Miami of Ohio!

We get it dgies, you have brought that loss up numerous times over the years.  It was a terrible, terrible loss, Miami of Ohio ended being ranked #18 in the country at end of season after beating MU, but times have changed. In 1978, there were only 32 teams into the NCAAT, not the current 68.  I don't know if WKU would be ranked as a top 100 team this year.

Of course there have been a lot "bigger" games in the NCAAT, like losing to Indiana as number 2 and IU going undefeated.  Many other "big" ones over the years. This game is a #2 seed against a #15 seed from an inferior conference with absolutely zero quality wins and numerous terrible losses.  That's why the perception of a loss to WKU would be perceived as the worst.  But I respect your opinion because it was a bad loss back then. As far as MU losing, don't see it happening though, MU gonna kick some butt.

Its DJOver

If the Boomer wants to yell at the clouds and lament about how the good ole days have been passed by, let him.  The sport has changed so much that you can't compare era's, especially something as subjective as "worst loss".

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

Maybe.

They could probably keep it within 8-15 points if they play well.


We should wished for Vermont instead of WKU.

Field of 68 guys just now said that Marquette is the only 2 seed that has a chance to lose to a 15. Said that WKU scares them a bit, but ultimately think Marquette will pull out a win.

No exaggeration, Goodman and Childress are acting like if we make it to sweet 16 Vs Kentucky we might as well not even show up.

I missed the part where that team randomly became better than the LeBron/Wade Heat.

That team plays basically no defense. Id differ to someone else who knows how their P & R "D" has been but I'd imagine Kolek and oso basically having the game of their life against the.

Yup. Dauster played contrarian and brought this up about how funny it could be watching Dillingham try to guard some of our schemes(he's god awful defensively).

Childress kept saying he wanted to mute his mic. UK will be tough, but it's wild some of the hype for them

They hit 3s well. We kinda like to give up open 3s. That said, rotations ahve been way better and we can play the Golden Bear lineup a bit to alleviate their height advantage. Defense is really, really bad tho.
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

MKE acad of science

Also was at Indian Hills cc, shot out to Buycks

I think phenom Univ travel

That's the newer high school on 20th and Kilbourn.

Mchenry averaged 38 points a game as a senior, making all state.  I saw a highlight clip of him from high school.
Looks like he weighed about 115 pounds.

Now let's consider an unbiased source with a better track record

Pomeroy
Iowa State 16 point favorite 93% chance of winning
Arizona 20 point favorite and 96% chance of winning
Tennessee 19 point favorite and 96%
MU 15 point favorite and 91% chance of winning


Those field of 68 guys sure do like to stir it up over basically nothing......it's the business model.

But they also picked Marquette to lose in the Elite Eight to Houston and weren't confident in their pick of Houston either.

Agree with you wholeheartedly. As long as we don't take anyone for granted, we will do very well.

We sometime forget, WKU hasn't played anyone like Marquette this year. They know it, based on what their version of Scoop says!

F@@k 'em!!!! Let's get this one in the books!

Kam was not his usually goofy self in this interview. He was 100% business. Hopefully that means he is locked in! Says he is incredibly motivated.

They could take them for granted, not play Kolek, and still cover the spread...

I truly don't like the hyper-confidence being displayed here. Player sometimes rise to the moment and strange things happen. We need to stay focused on the prize, respect the competition and play like our lives depended upon it! As Shaka says "Play with violence!". No room for average or good enough!!!

Or they could get their ass kicked because the Hilltoppers had the game of their lives.

You never take anyone for granted. You go for the kill as soon as and as hard as you can with everything you have. I'm sure that's what Coach Shaka plans!

Do you think the hyper-confidence being displayed here has any effect on the game?
