If we play like we did against the Johnnies, a bout of the flu may be the only thing that can save us. Any sick people near Milwaukee want to volunteer to spit in Lord Crean's gatorade?

The keys to this game seem simple. We have to limit our turnovers, play good perimeter defense and get rebounds. Their home game against ND is a cautionary tale. ND turned the ball over 24 times and got blown out. We have to respond to their backcourt pressure and get the ball into the front court effectively. This is one of the more hot and cold teams in the league; James is so inconsistent its ridiculous. If we play like we did against Nova, we'll be in trouble. If we take care of the ball and feed the beast, we can blow these guys out.
Anyone else going to this game? Suggestions for bars to debrief afterwards or just good places to eat in Milwaukee?
P.S. Many thanks to who ever suggested the Hot Brown in Louisville; it was AWESOME!

Marquette has been playing well down the stretch
However they did something very stupid
On Saturday they are celebrating National Marquette Day, I'm a little fuzzy on what that is but nonetheless its a celebration
They should have consulted with Syracuse/Nova/Louisville et all before making such a rash and dangerous choice

Go Jimmy Chitwood on 'em and have Roy touch the ball at least two times on every possession. Outside of this, make sure to break the press. I think Baby Doc can't handle the Roc in this game.

What did you realy expect from their board?
We were out rebounded in the SJU game for most of it. Many have said we are over rated - and out play has been streaky that you can make the arguement we haven't played like a top 10 top 15 team. Sure we can argue semantics about our league and the other schools that are ranked; but bottom line we haven't played dominately yet.
giving Roy the ball twice in every possesion is such a good idea. Wow I can't believe someone on this board thought of that. Maybe the guys on the team (re sumers and sapp) will agree.

when we add up those 40 minutes this Saturday in Milwaukee, it's going to make the difference between being a GREAT team and being a Tournament team.
Great teams make statements. at Marquette this Saturday is a STATEMENT game.
While I will be at the Louisville game and hope for a great performance, count me among the people who believe that this game at the Bradley Center is more important than March 8, #1 seed be damned.

I agree, the losses on the road to good teams are the reasons why the media has kept us out of the national championship conversation. Make a statement here, and all of a sudden, people see 23-4, 14-3 as something good, not something mediocre.

Anyone else going to this game? Suggestions for bars to debrief afterwards or just good places to eat in Milwaukee? If you're getting into Wisconsin in time to eat on Friday, you go out for fish fry. It doesn't matter much where, there'll be a good one somewhere within a mile of your hotel or wherever you're staying. On game day it's worth making a trip to Kopp's Frozen Custard on Silver Spring Drive for the namesake delicacy and for incredibly good burgers. I've heard a lot of good things about the relatively new Lakefront Brewery downtown. Miss Katie's Diner is another landmark, located right off of Marquette's campus. It's reputed to be the inspiration for Arnold's of Happy Days fame, and Clinton took Helmut Kohl there back in the day. Mader's German Restaurant is downtown, a block from the Bradley Center and is probably one of the few well known fine dining experiences available. Also, if you see a Culver's, give it a shot, especially if you don't make it to Kopp's. Another fine burger joint that like Sonic and In N Out are never ever going to come to DC. You don't know the value of life until you've survivedenjoyed a Bacon Double Cheese Butter Burger, preferably with onion rings, cheese nuggets, and a turtle sundae on the side.

That's cheese curds thank you MGiH!!!! The pernicious influence of Minnesota has stretched its suspiciously nice tentacles even deeper into the homeland! Amongst God-fearing Favre-loving persons with any decency, the humble cheese curd is breaded and deep-fried causing them to transubstantiate into sweet delicious cheese nuggets.

All the posters on the Marquette board refer to us as "GT." I annoys me when Georgetown is referred to as "GT;" that's Georgia Tech. From now on I'm only referring to Marquette as MQ.
Edit: and WOW do the MQ fans on their board dislike us. There's a whole thread that basically just says we're evil and must be destroyed.

I think we've had the GT vs GU vs G Town debate before. Please reference previous threads.
