Thanks for the spelling correction. I'm surprised JSB didn't catch it before you did.

In other words... schtick on a stick. Works for me!

I like this Yiddish word-schmuck. Wikipedia explains it below:


Schmuck, or shmuck, is a pejorative term meaning one who is stupid or foolish, or an obnoxious, contemptible or detestable person. The word came into the English language from Yiddish, where it has similar pejorative meanings, but where its literal meaning is a vulgar term for a penis.

Back to the thread:

I think somewhere in the 6-10 range is as good of a guess as any. I need to see not only Marquette's non-con performance vs. D1s but our BE brethren's' as well before shedding the "cautious" adjective in my optimism for this season. I love Pitino's MU optimism but take it as Pitino just being Pitino. He likes to talk. A lot.

Or should it be shtick it?

I can definitely see a slow start derailing our hopes of a top-25 season but I'm pretty confident our (fully healthy) squad will be safely in the field. Wildly optimistic prediction would be a 4-seed. Realistic would be a 6 or 7-seed.

Nigel and Adrien will be better than they were last year. With Nolan Minessale in the fold, we should have a solid three-guard tandem to rely on. Fru and Royce should be a solid-to-great frontcourt, and I'm cautiously optimistic a 7'1" Josh Clark brings rim protection and lobs for solid minutes.

How good MPIII and Damarius are is what will determine Marquette's ceiling this season. Their length and athleticism at spots 2-4 make are really useful, and hopefully their 3-point shooting is reliable enough. I think Damarius could end up as the starting SF because of his dunks and (underrated) rebounding.
