Chances vs the Weasels?

[MuggsyB]

I haven't been all that impressed with them to tell you the truth.  Boyd and Blackwell can go off and are good scorers, and they obviously have much better bigs, but we're not talking about worldbeaters here.  They will cough it up, the question is will we be able to take advantage?  They're also not particularly deep.  They have another guard off the bench that can hit 3's, Carrington maybe.  2nd shots is the biggest concern and of course the trifecta.  Defensively, they aren't particularly impressive.  I guess what I'm saying is I'm not sure they're better than Oklahoma or Dayton.  I get we still have probably a 5% chance, and less if we can't hit any threes.  Winter is a problem for sure.  All that said, stranger things have happened in the annals of 🏀.

No way I would take MU.

I agree.   I'm just throwing it out there.  We have to plwy with the mentality that this is a great opportunity to erase some pain.

No crazier than them beating us here in 2022. That happened because Chucky hit some of the stupidest shots ever, including the turnaround fade away three near the end of regulation. If we shoot 40+% from three, decent chance we get the win, but I'm not at all convinced we can shoot that well for a full game against anyone, much less a high-major on the road.

Based on press conference comments, sounds like a small chance Sean will be back.

40% from 3 is a tall order. I would take the under on that one.

I wouldnt pick us to win but Wisconsin isnt that great either.  Crazier things have happened.

[Jay Bee]

Book it. Hello, 6-4.

[GoldenEagles03]

There is simply no way we beat them.

First true road game of careers for some of the better players on our team. We can't shoot, they score a ton.

If this game is within 15 I would be stunned. If we keep the Purdue game within 25 I would be stunned.

There is simply no chance.

[Galway Eagle]

I doubt we win. Though we did win during ellensons year and during Wojo's last craptastic season and they beat us during our best year of modern basketball so maybe these guys pull some tricks out of their hat.

Based on yesterday's offense if we score at all against Purdue I'd be stunned

There is simply no chance.

Technically there's about a 1 in 5 chance.  I also have a hard time believing this MU team would beat UW 1 out of every 5 times, but there is a chance.

Probably, but their last four opponents all shot 38.9% or better. Tall order, not impossible.

[BCHoopster]

Did you watch the first half yesterday, maybe one of the worst half's in years. Play like that against Wisky, MU will be down by 25!

[Duane6]

Only chance they have would be play James, Ross, Stevens, parham, and gold all 30+ minutes and give 0 minutes to Hamilton

We are mistaking Hamilton being are biggest problem with having adequate guards not named Ross.

[Duane6]

Nigel James is good. Norman should also play 0 minutes. I'm not exactly sure what Hamilton does well other than clogging up the paint and taking awful hook shots. Lowery can give you some minutes off the bench. It's pretty bare after that which is completely on Shaka

[lake]

Throw the records out the window folks

[jfp61]

Nigel James is good.

For a freshman... yes. In general... not yet.

Every guard we have not named ross comes off the bench of a good marquette team

[Duane6]

Fair point but I don't think Hamilton starts let alone plays 5 plus mins on any other big east team including depaul

[The Sultan]

Duane man, go out and get a breath of fresh air. We get it - you don't like Hamilton.

[jfp61]

Hamilton is really bad. But is someone fighting against Duane on this not named shaka?

[Duane6]

I've seen some people defending him on Twitter and on here so had to hammer it home. lol I'll chill

[rocky_warrior]

Throw the records out the window folks

And the stats! hah

[Mu8891]

Chance to win ? LOL .... no chance

They will most likely get embarrassed.
Beyond how flat out awful they are, this is MU's first road game.

If they can't beat lesser opponents at home, how do they not get crushed?
