Not saying that we can't win, but they are a much more talented team then us this year and it's gonna be tough to beat them. For starters, they have an extremely mobile Top 25 7' big man in Garcia, to pair up with tough as nails Theo John. Those 2 alone could cause us fits down low. Carton has been playing well and they can score from outside. We will need to bring our A+ game to beat them IMO. We'll also need a huge game from Champ. How we played yesterday definitely won't cut it.
If CMA goes with the same starting lineup then Roberts guards John and Champagnie has to guard Garcia. Posh on Carton, Dunn on McEwen and Williams on Cain. Both Carton and Garcia go left so it behooves our defensive guys to overplay them. If we choose to closely guard Garcia outside he will drive and cause foul trouble. Don't let John get too low in the post,not a shooter away from the basket. Have to box out both him and Garcia. If Champ is guarding the 6' 11" Garcia he better front him in the low post.

Agreed, except Marquette is a more talented "hit or miss". Granted we are home, so that counts for something. If I were a betting man, I'd take Marquette and lay the 2.5. Oh wait, I am.

I have a prior commitment from 7 a.m. to about 1:45 Saturday so will have to miss this one. Maybe that will bring us luck!
