How bad is Oklahoma that MU is favored in this one

Bad enough that MU is not favored.

Yep. Oklahoma being favored should make you very, very happy.

So it'd be better if Marquette played one in Chicago and one in Nashville, where there's very few Marquette alum? Makes WAY more sense to play two neutral site games in Chicago.

Yet another nonsensical post. I know ridiculous hyperbole is your defense mechanism, but you don't have to implore it every time out.

It would make sense to play in St Louis or New York, where there are Marquette alums. It would make sense to play in Philadelphia or Boston or DC where you have Big East connections nearby & can appeal to current players and future recruits.

Just because Marquette has a lack of imagination on this stuff doesn't mean you have to reinforce or validate it. That's being as lazy as they are.

Nonsensical posts are the ones that don't understand the landscape of college basketball. Apparently that's you. Very few programs are going to "destination cities" for their fanbase anymore. They're playing neutral site games instead of flying to Maui.

MU playing two non conference games in Chicago isn't "lazy." It's smart. Huge alumni base, easy drive for Milwaukee area fans.

You want Marquette to go play where there is a fraction of the alumni base and much further away from Milwaukee. I guess if that's being "imaginative" then sure. Getting what should be a semi home game on a neutral court is great.

Yeah, I definitely see the merit of the Chicago games. Like you said, a crowd friendly neutral game could really help a resume.

My only issue with it would be turning down NIL opportunities with Players Era Festival, especially if we are going to cry poor on NIL. Plus, as a season ticket holder, the blah home slate doesn't help.

Although, if we were undefeated right now, I'd be in a lot better mood about it.
