Game day.  Nice record.  Embarrassing SOS.  Cooley did that at Providence, too.  Probably wants this group to learn how to win, regardless of competition.  Good size, shoots poorly from 3, turns it over.    Exploit their guards, don't get crushed down low. 

Spend the next week resting Thievies achilles and growing the freshmen.

Guess this might actually be a game. I'm used to considering Georgetown like DePaul due to how bad they've been. Used to be a big game back in the old big east days. They have some young talent and look decent. Has Cooley resurrected the town

The last line I saw was MU -13.5.  Vegas is not impressed.

GT offense = a$$

Marquette has really set itself up for a challenge.

Pretty hard to improve metrically when you have to beat decent teams by 20+ every time to get a bump in the computers...

It takes what it takes, however

MU is no longer viewed as a cute little underdog.   No longer disrespected.

Sorber is awesome, though the heavy minute load in Big East play has diminished his efficiency. We need the defense to lock in and force turnovers while taking full advantage of minutes he's on the bench to go in runs. I hope to see Gold on the court whenever Sorber is out there.

Anyone going to the game who has a pet bat? Bring it with you. It surely has some January cabin fever and could use a little exercise

and Vegas knows Georgetown, with their 8 Q4 wins and 0-1 Q1 record, is a fraud.

Good times, good times.

Cooley has a well-deserved reputation for being entertaining. The bat is only one example. The way he tried to dodge it and then draped a towel over his head was hilarious. The time he split the rear seam on his pants and wore a towel to cover his exposed BVDs was also great. Maybe he has a thing about towels.  His live mic TO's are so heavily censored it's hard to know what he is trying to say to his team. And last, but not least....the brother of a Providence player walking onto the court to protest a foul just as the Marquette player was about to shoot the first FT. Considering that the brother was on parole, it was doubly dumb but, you gotta admit, entertaining. 

The bat was my favorite. Yours?

Jonathan Xavier walking on the court was during the Keno Davis era. And Xavier called time out, so not sure what more he could have done in that situation.

Any word on Epps? Gtown board seems to think he'll be rested in an attempt to play Saturday. Played 4 minutes without attempting a shot last Friday after missing a non-conference game on the 28th. "Lower body injury" is all I've been able to find. Second leading scorer.

[FairWeatherEagle]

Easy schedule: someone made a good point about Cooley helping his team know how to win. I think this is a legit coaching technique for a team that has been down.

Dan Campbell used to play-2-win in the preseason in his early years with Lions. Everyone thought it was ridiculous including myself. But the Lions needed to start that somewhere and Campbell had a mentality he wanted to instill.

I know it goes only so far ..DePaul has been like that. Decent record early then kaboom.  But if Cooley can get the players, he knows how to win.

Cooley will turn it around there. Not sure if they'll get back to prominence, but they have 3 BE wins this year already. They had 0, 2, and 2 the last three years.

Pregame as Chaperone starts in about 2.5 hours (5:30am in Asia). Muggsy is alive and well, he was right and tuckered out after spending all of yesterday paddling around in the surf looking for Dugongs to hug and kiss.

Nothing is open that early but Muggs acquired some Arak from Bali in an attempt to speak to God before we illegally stream the game from an illegal gambling den.

Same. Cooley almost hiding under a chair, lights out in the BC, Whitney Houston serenade. 

Also entertaining was the Prov forum once they realized their beloved coach was heading to Georgetown.

[Herman Cain]

Looking forward to a classic Big East battle with Mr. Cooley tonight.  MU will need to be in Excellent form to win this one .

I'd guess he will play. This is a win Georgetown needs to build a resume and be taken seriously.

Eh, it's not like we're playing Radford.

MU by 4 possessions.

Any official word on Epps? Their need to build a resume is unrelated to his health.

[Milkshakes]

The only game I've seen them play is the X game.  Georgetown looked much better than I expected.  I expect it to be closer than 13.5.
