Marquette vs Purdue

[Stretchdeltsig]

Did the team spend any time practicing offense? Shooting? Free throws? Out of bounds plays? Following through on rim shots? Following up shots for rebounds and put ins!

Would like to see Clark and Phillips each get a real run tomorrow.  Purdue plays some younger bench guys who dont do much other than eat some minutes, good opportunity to matchup Phillips and Clark on them for a few minutes and see how they handle the environment.

I don't think Painter will let us lose by 30.    He will have respect.

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. 

That is a good way to spin it. This season is about development. Why isn't it about victory? Some of us saw this coming a year ago and then we're criticized immensely for expressing those concerns. Now those critic shrinking violets are hiding in their basement.
Sad state for MU basketball, and the only fix is consistent winning. That is not in sight.

When the other teams get to shop at the farmers market and cherry pick their produce, versus Marquette that grows their own and cultivates and has a poor crop, no surprises.

I agree. He is a class act. Friendly with Shaka. He will give us a good beating, but will call off the dogs so we don't get destroyed.

mostly agree, and Painter seems like a genuine person. they'll want to cover and will easily do that. Maybe instead of walk-ons by halftime, they'll practice some wild new plays or something. Could be entertaining

Sometimes there's only do much you can do though, aina? :/

[muwarrior69]

Maybe we should send our Women's team instead.

Marquette will have their best performance of the season today. Zero pressure.  We're overmatched but I expect us to compete at a very high level. 

[WhiteTrash]

I sill have faith in the future,  but this is so depressing. MU relying on the charity of others.

Line opens at Purdue -17.5 lol

Up to -18.5.
Wonder if there's a way to find out when the last time MU was that big of a dog.

Hopefully he doesn't call off the dogs too early. Laid the spread figuring PU is not the kind of team that our squad is going to get healthy against. I can't remember MU being this big of a dog.

Muggs - Nice optimism.  Won't happen...

MU will get destroyed. They $uck. Period.

[#UnleashNigel]

Will marquette continue the strategy of "eventually they'll fall?"

[JakeBarnes]

We win. I dont know why. But we've been on the wrong side of a lot of close ones and this is the breakthrough point.

I'm not saying we're good or will win.  I just have a gut feeling we won't be obliterated.

What's this about guts getting obliterated Muggs? 😏

[NCMUFan]

I guess it will be a MU victory if Purdue needs to keep their walk-ons on the bench.

[CountryRoads]

Looks like same starters at the UW game.
