Might be the first line to make sense all year.

Considering how explosive UW's offense is, taking UW and giving the points seems like a good bet.

They're capable, "explosive" is a bit of a stretch.  That's not to say they won't light us up, but that 26 pts in the 2H they laid on the Horned Frogs, wasn't exactly impressive.

Yeah, well our defense is six shades of total ass, and we probably can't keep up on offense.

I'd take UW -10.5

I'd take UW -10.5

For just the first half or the whole game? Steele predicted we'll get blown out 82-67 in his pregame article.

[NCMUFan]

At least we were mentioned in the article.

I'd be pretty happy if we managed to keep it that close

Steele is pretty objective.  Probably no one wants MU to be successful more because it increases readership.  But he's no fanboy.

[Newsdreams]

I might do that if I had any chance to have an impact on the outcome.

Remember Muggsy has a 28 point plan ready to go in the locker room and demand Shaka implements it

He's also a Madison alum.

There's a reason it's the 5 pt plan and not Basketball related.

I don't disagree with you.  Tremendously upsetting.

The Kenpom Badger bias in effect

They were in a loaded Big 10. Finished #14 at kenpom and despite their 9-seed, 9 of their 14 losses came to teams ranked in the top-11 at kenpom.

'Tis the season for a Christmas miracle.

10.5 point dogs on the road with the way we've been playing is generous.    The game must be played.    We need a record day for the season so far hitting shots.   Then we need defense.    Tall order, but the game must be played. Go Marquette! 

[Jay Bee]

Taking MU money line. Time to get rich(er).

[vogue65]

Why did Valpo nearly win?
Could it be because they didn't have to win?
No pressure, they played lose as a goose.
We had to win, we nearly (I'm being kind) panicked. 
Winners play with intuition, they believe in themselves and their teammates.
I think we have too many players who believe in their teammates, but not in themselves. 
Too much time sitting on the bench being good teammates, cheerleaders if you will.
Too much time watching videos.
Just play.

[vogue65]

I wouldn't bet a dime for or against this team.
When they start showing a sweat, imight reconsider.

[DoctorV]

Very solid, made me laugh

[21Jumpstreet]

Take the points

Pouring $$$ on MU to win

[HutchwasClutch]

Haven't been this calm before this game maybe ever.  Even Wojo's first team in '14 where rodents were returning a FF team and #2 I think.  That year we were defending home court and felt like it was opportunity to establish our identity under new coach as  our rebuild started.  Knew we were going to get beat up that day, but felt we had to show some fight still, which we did. 

Today, 5th year coach overseeing a massive decline.  Depressing.

[Mu8891]

Hutch - Sadly, I agree.  This has the makings of a total A$$ kicking, and one of the worst since KO revived the program.

The fact that this is the first road game makes it even worse.  If MU stays within 10 to 15 pts I will be shocked.

And the rodents are good, but not world beaters by any stretch. It's a reflection of how awful we've shown.
