Calling My Shot

I think this Marquette team punctuates the trip out west with a double digit victory tonight. SDSU is a very solid team, but I think we execute better on both ends and control tempo and frustrate the Aztecs. Villanova made a strong statement for the Big East the last two nights, and I believe that Marquette reciprocates that with another strong statement win tonight.

Hoping your right, unfortunately this was kind of a weak tournament so it won't be quite the same statement that Nova made by beating two top 25 teams, however a win tonight and a win next Saturday would be quite a statement after the OSU game.

Love your positivity Warrior! I think this tourney has a really solid field. Not great, but a lot of really good programs. It would be a great win tonight for the conference. Glad we played last week in a somewhat hostile environment in Tempe. Will help us tonight as this will definitely be a road game. I think the fellas are ready.

Hope you are right...Vegas has SDS as a 3 point favorite...should be a good one

I'll own it, thought this team was ready for a big time performance. Needed Jamil and Todd to step up for Davante. We can win with one of them off, but not all three. SDSU us a very good defensive team, but Id still like a rematch in March.

I'd like a rematch in March too, but unless they improve greatly, they won't be dancing.

We are hurting our seed, but this team will go dancing guaranteed. Showed a lot of good signs on the trip, and unlucky to lose both this game and ASU. Really could use a win in Madison now though.

out of curiosity, how many conf wins do you think we will need to win to get in now? Or what do you see as our path to the tourney?

I'd say 10-11 conference wins. Win either of the two upcoming big games, and you have a solid non-con profile with 1-2 good wins (depending on how GW does from here on out) and no bad losses. I think we win 13-14 conference games and this is a non issue, but we probably need to win both upcoming big games and that number of conference wins to see a 3-4 seed.

Now, Creighton and especially Xavier did mucho damage to their tournament hopes this weekend. I thought we were a lock five bid league before they decided to take five losses collectively, but now they both may need 11-7 in conference now for an at-large (and seeing that I have MU, Nova, and G-Town clearly ahead of them and a game trio of Butler, SJU, and Providence at their heels, it will be hard for them to get to 11 wins).

Lololol. This again?
