Marquette vs Purdue

[NCMUFan]

Well fellow Scoopers.  MU laces up the shoes Saturday against Purdue.  Any Pre-Christmas magic for MU?

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Hopeful we lose by less than 30. 🤞

I have a tourney starting at noon, so will miss it live. In the past, I would have not checked texts and tried to keep the outcome unknown until watching it after winning another pickleball medal. However, I'm so convinced it's not going to go well that i will check for updates in between matches.

Combination of some glimmers and 1st half blowout, but all the glimmers will be in the backcourt. We will get eaten alive by their front court.

Kam was the star last year with the triple double but Chase quietly dominated the game as well. Played a game high 37 minutes with 12 points, 5 boards, 4 steals and a block. Put a lot of pressure on Smith and Loyer. Might be tougher for him to do this year but I still think we will see glimmers from the back court. Totally dominated up front.

Simply overmatched in this one.  This is a buy game for Purdue.  Crazy how far and fast MU has fallen from a year ago. This game will be a stark reminder of that. Will be looking for glimmers of hope, keeping an eye on NJ, AS, RP and maybe MP and JC.  Hopefully not a plus 40 point loss.  Painter likely to classy for that.

This season is about development and then retaining the players who look like high major players after the season.

Wonder what the team practices with a week off between 30 pt wallops?

I hope they all did well on their finals, so as to not have eligibility issues.

If this is a dog by halftime, at least the Army/Navy game kickoffs right about then.

I thought we played close to our ceiling for a good part of the badger game. I don't expect much more out of any one player this season than we saw in that game and thought each guy made some positive contributions. If that carries over into this game, I think we have a good chance of keeping it within 20 at the half. Maybe show a little fight in the second half and cut it to 13 or so before they adjust and blow the lead back up to 25. That's how I envision the game going. Small positives would be the young guys continuing to gain confidence.

We're at the right point in the season to get a girl pitcher who throws fire. Let the training montage start.

Hoosiers theme for more points.

This made me laugh.

This is an ass kicking like we have haven't seen in a week

[MU24]

I love Marquette basketball, but this year all I want is improvement and hope for next year. If MU makes the tournament that is a huge success...MU probably loses by 30+ tomorrow, but Ill still tune in!

[Mu8891]

MU will get destroyed.

Painter seems decent, so maybe the 3rd string plays and MU only loses by 25.
The game will be just one of numerous embarrassments this year.... Many many more to come.

No, this season is about drowning in our own tears

Cute that you have a crush on me.

We shall see though, tomorrow. I've been switching paddles and still have soreness from golfer's elbow, but this is one we can do well in and should. 22 teams, only 3 will medal. No participation anything for 19 of 22. RGV and Lost in the Fight will be on full display on the courts.

My prediction for the MU / Purdue game is that scoopers will complain and criticize a lot. Only way that doesn't happen is an 82-0 drubbing by the Warriors. #pray

Loyer looks like a cuck.
