Marquette vs. UC

[JumpinJack5]

UC 65-60.

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

I find it funny the speculation Cash will play. If there's anything I can stake my opinion as being fact it's that Mick isn't telling anyone outside of the team whether or not Cash will play. People assume he will play because the coach's statement said there was no structural damage. That isn't exactly a bona fide clean bill of health. Maybe Mick wants Marquette to not prepare for Cash being out should he be sitting.

well, kenpom has the spread at 8. checked sports betting sites too and not surpriSingly they had it at 8 too.

The reason the spread is so large is marquette has been pretty lucky and won a bunch of close games. They aren't near as good as their record indicates, but that line does make me think cash will play.

I figured it had to do with Marquette being a different team away from home, but it's not like we are exactly protecting the home court as of late. On paper it does look like a comfortable win though. Average Pomeroy/Sagarin/BPI has UC #15 and Marquette #33. Unfortunately, I don't expect it to be that easy.

Agreed, and just checked my online betting site as well and the spread is up to -8 to confirm with the guy who posted it above. To answer th bold tatement: I agree with you, and if its not as easy as it should be, I feel a large part will be due to UC's own self inflicted errors, turnovers and missed free throws!

This is a must win for uc. When's the last time they lost four straight at home?

Mick's first season, 2006-07. They lost 5 in a row at home to Pitt, UL, SJU, ND, and Georgetown.

UC will win and re-enter the top 25. I'm curious if Mizzou stays in after a third blowout loss and fourth overall.

 

[bearcat jeff]

Oh and I'm pulling for Oregon against UCLA. Every win for them is a win for UC.

 

[bearcat jeff]

Oh btw, UL is really good.

mick needs to get out of this 2-3 zone. marq 6-8 from deep and still has a zone going.

 

[westsidecat]

sanders need to stop inbounding the ball. just horrible mistaks time after time.

 

[westsidecat]

up 2 with 14 sec to go..

 

[westsidecat]

ot with no cm, dn, 4 fouls on jj and jp.

ugh!

 

[dbieon12]

Justin Jackson has no basketball IQ. Every reason not to foul in that situation.

Only caught the overtime, and he played pretty well overall.

 

[bearcat jeff]

Huge gutsy win with Cash out. You don't have to like the way it looks but give these kids some props! Sean was huge!

 

[Nomadic1]

I'll take it.

Questionable officiating all around, I think that Gardener kid initiated a lot of the bumps. I can't believe they got that hot from 3 in the second half.

 

[bearcat jeff]

Could have folded several times and answered. They toughed this out and deserve major credit. Tough tough win.

 

[CPAW29]

That was hugh! I thought uc really needed that game.

 

[westsidecat]
