Marquette vs. UC

[UCalum08]

Since we kind know the status of Cash and we most likely won't hear much more on it til game day lets do some predictions. I found this picture on UC's website and thought it was actually really good and creative. Surprising for UC's marketing department.

I am going to say 58-54 UC with or without Ca$h. I think this will be close to if not sold out and the energy makes this a close one. I have seen a few Marquette games and they have solid guards that can score but I have seen them struggle offensively at times as well. Defensive game with us prevailing. Time for Mick to draw up an excellent game plan and time for the players to execute. I think they know this game is vital for a few reasons: 1) Its a home game and we can not drop 4 home games, period. 2) They know Cuse is next and we need this win to possibly offset that game 3) If we can go 1-1 during this two game stretch that will be a win in my eyes with a big break afterwards.

UC will lose at home again. Probably by about 12.

i'd like to see uc win obviously as would anyone else, but it's going to beour first game without cash against a solid marquette team, I just don't see us winning this one, if we have any shot it will have to be from a defensive standpoint.

Marq 68 UC 63

Things start going the other way for Marquette on Saturday night.

"We could easily be 0-3," Williams said by phone Tuesday morning. "There are so many things that could've easily gone the other way. We're thankful with where we're at, but we've got to continue to work to find ways to improve, because we have a long, long way to go."

Mick seems to always take bd situations and make a positive out of it. Seems like when peple are counting him or the team out they do their best work.

Agree with you on this. On the other hand I have always felt that Mick's teams get way to comfortable when they have some success.

That is pretty much why I feel we can get the W. I know it won't be easy but I think all the factors I listed above and being home with give us an extra push. Crossing my fingers lol

I will be surprised if Cash doesn't play though. They will rest him today and tomorrow and he'll practice Friday a little.

Hurts to type but Quette rolls..too much talent just like the St Johns game.

71-63

Cash plays UC will win. He doesn't UC loses.

I agree. Especially if Cash plays AND plays with the same mentality he did against DePaul.

I don't think Marquette is that great, I'd like to get this win before Syracuse.

I don't either. Buzz Williams teams will always be competitive, but I don't think this team is a top 25 team when it's all said and done. They play hard and have had some breaks but teams that play seem to get those.

I haven't watched Marquette play this year. Are they basically the same team without Crowder and Johnson-Odom. Are do they have new, excellent players getting time for them? If the former, I say UC wins. Those two (who were awesome) carried that team last year.

Buzz > Mick

Marquette will win.

 

[bearcat18]

Keep them off the free throw line and make them shoot jump shots and we'll win. They're a good free throw shooting team so that will be crucial.

I feel confident about this one. I'll say Cats win 67-54

Cash plays UC will win. He doesn't UC loses.

I feel this way about almost every game.

 

[UCalum08]

UC opens today up as a 6.5 point favorite. Pretty generous numbers if you ask me, maybe they know something we don't. Real tempted to throw some money on that (for the underdog) but I don't like to bet on my team. Hmmmm

Uc will win by 10
