Reading people saying we need to win out and win 1 BE tourney game makes me shake my head. If we win the next 3 games we are a stone-cold lock. Has anyone seen the bubble this year? It's incredibly weak. That being said a 3-0 finish is a big ask starting with a massive game against Xavier. They need it just as bad as we do.
Same thing I've been saying. If we win out, we'll finish 3rd in the BE and should be a lock.
I hope we do too but I've been fearful of Marquette game on the road since we smoked them. Can we go 2-1 and finish 3rd or 4th? That's the question to me.
As I said many times before Marquette can't shoot the ball. Play zone against them, overplay Thomas, their only three point threat.
Their biggies did zelch against us.
Best post I've read in some time. I'd add to pressure them all game because they have one of the worst collective handles in the conference and and are very mistake-prone.
If we are even a bubble team this shouldn't be all that difficult. If we can't beat Marquette in a very bad down year with so much riding on it, what chance do we have going in the road a few weeks late away from home in the tournament? Huge RPI game for us.
You hate Marquette.
Any post where you mention them needs to be taken with a grain of salt
Hahaha I don't...just this year. Mayo and Jamil Wilson are Domesque. Very low IQ guys. I think the world of Buzz Williams and I was a big fan of the backcourt the last few years. I am probably Junior Cadougan's biggest/only fan. They'll be back big next year so we need to capitalize now.
The team I hate is Nebraska. I don't even know why, but it makes me sick to see them above us in the RPI and them drawing over 15k every game. I refuse to accept them as a Big Ten school.
Creighton needs to stomp them the next few years to maintain top team in that region.
