Posted this when we were 5-0 on Jan 8...so sticking with it. Like TAMU I see our season in phases but broke it down different:

1. we win next 5
2. go 2/3 UC,@STJ, @CR.
3. win 4 more
4. go 2/3 @GT, @UC, STJ.

Quote from: wisblue on January 14, 2025, 06:26:27 AMSee the Big East results thread. I made a comment about the schedule being a lot tougher in the second half and it quickly led to comments about chicken littles and a specific reference to the Eeyore of the board.

You certainly are one of the board's contrarians - or, as you like to put it, "realistic" voices.

Isn't it also "realistic," however, to think Marquette could go 18-2 or 17-3 in the Big East this season? Do you think it takes some crazy, pollyanna leap to get there, especially in this year's obviously down Big East? Or is reminding everyone that MU can lose the only way to be realistic?

I mean, all of us know that our alma mater's team can lose or win any game. It's sports and Marquette's not a perfect team (no team is). If it somehow makes you feel better to almost always choose to be "realistic," that's cool. You gotta be who you are, and there are lots and lots of passionate fans who tend to fear the next bump in the road. (Scarred by past Detroit failures, tower has been something like that with his Lions.)

But don't be surprised if optimistic - but plenty realistic - Marquette fans push back with a little Eeyore-related sarcasm.

I know what it is to be pessimistic about good teams. (Cough, Lions, cough)  I know what it is to take grief about it.  And I did. A lot.  As it should be.  I just don't care.   Message board banter.

I can expect some push back when I make a "realistic" comment that some folks consider too pessimistic. But my comment in that thread simply stated that the second half schedule was more difficult than the first half.

When that triggers "chicken little" and "Eeyore" responses it looks like people are pushing back on the person, not the statement.

I'd have to see the context of what you said, and I'm too lazy to look. But yeah, that our schedule is tougher in the second half is just a fact.

Either way, as tower says, it's just message-board banter. It's OK if you think I'm being too optimistic, too.

Don't see MU running through the BE. We've played mostly poor competition and only run away with one game. We're a good but not great college basketball team that is going to get everyone's best shot every night.

I chose 15-5 originally. I'll stick with it and hope it's right. I think it's more likely 14-6 than 16-4 or better.

After tonight's game it just might be 6-14!

I may have hit the snooze button, or it could be my age catching up to me.  When the site was updated, what happened to the Big East standings on the home page for Scoop???

I chose 16-4.  Last night proved we could lose to anyone.  But with that being said, I'm not sure I see where 6 losses would come from with 14 games left, health-permitting. 

@UConn, @ST John's, @Creighton, @Nova, @Georgetown will all be very tough games.  However, I don't expect we'd lose all 5 of those. 

I certainly hope we don't lose at home to Seton Hall and DePaul and I certainly expect to win on the road against Butler and Seton Hall (although I could see Butler being a difficult game).

Then we have home games against Xavier, Villanova, UConn, Providence and St. John's.  We'll be favored in all of them.  Hopefully we can run the table but I'd be pretty surprised if we went any worse than 4-1.

Obviously I could be very wrong and 15-5 might be more likely than 16-4.  Even with our recent struggles 14-6 would be a disappointment after starting 6-0.

I thought you were dead. Willie lives rent free in Reekers mind.
