Chances vs the Weasels?

[rocky_warrior]

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

At this point, @UW might be a friendlier crowd that at home...

[GoldenEagles03]

They are favored by 9.5 against Northwestern tonight and Torvik has them as a 6 point favorite.

Torvik has UW as a 9 point favorite against us so I expect the spread to be about 11 or 12.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

The line from Dumb & Dumber, when Jim Carrey says to Lauren Holly, "So, you're telling me there's a chance" feels appropriate here.

[Billy Hoyle]

I still have traumatic memories of 2001 when we went into Kohl ranked 14th and undefeated and they were 3-6 in D1 games. It's a rivalry game, throw out the records.

I think we go up by 10 in the second half, give up the lead late, go down one with :17 to play, and dribble out the clock. Or, will the third time be the charm?

Fourth.

Fourth.

My bad, just brutal.

Maybe ben will go 12-15 for 3s.

We know the underdog do better than expected — just ax our opponents like CMU and Valpo!

Glad to see Scoopers' sense of humor hasn't been diminished!  Go Marquette!

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.

yeah, Chucky got us. That sucked. I don't think this year is necessarily a bad match-up for MU. Ross/Blackwell is somewhat a draw. I'm fine with James on anyone they have at point. We are more athletic. But Parham, Gold, Lowery have to show up. RED has had guys get us in the past I  didn't count on, so maybe it's our turn this year. Owens, you up? But, MU can't shoot 26% from 3 or it's over. Their crowd smells blood, so gotta use their energy against them. I'm not predicting a win by any means, but not thinking 20 pt blowout loss either.

[willie warrior]

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.

Man, how we have regressed.

[MuggsyB]

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!

100% agree BC.  I'm not sure we beat Whitewater if we play like we did in the 1st half yesterday.

[BCHoopster]

My 7th grade might have beaten them, those kids can make layups at least!

[geps]

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

40% from 2 is a tall order!

[MuggsyB]

My 7th grade might have beaten them, those kids can make layups at least!

We have no earthly idea how to play under control and off of two feet once we punch the paint.  I'm not saying we shouldn't take traditional lay-ups or dunks off of one foot, but whatever happened to balance and a shot fake?  Or rudimentary footwork with your pivot?  We look like far lighter versions of the Bulls in Pamplona?  WTF happened to a change of direction off the dribble?  Drives me up the freaking wall.  We are about as balanced as Humpty Dunpty.

[Stretchdeltsig]

If we play like Warriors we'll win with a lot of full court pressing and fast breaking. The rodents are old. We've got to play fast and out run them. Tired rats can't shoot well. Go Marquette!

Old? You make it sound like they're in their 40s or something.

Their crowd is quiet as hell.

[Johnny B]

Their crowd is quiet as hell.

Wouldn't be to hyped for the net 150 golden chickens coming to town if I were a Bucky boy

[The Sultan]

Their crowd is quiet as hell.

Yeah. It's definitely not like it was 15-20 years ago.

UW wants to avoid a Q4 loss, they'll be fired up

[Vander Blue Man Group]

We are now the team others want to avoid a bad loss to.
