I hate it when I read posts like "Hoyas should win if they want to be seen as a serious BE contender"
No dissrespect, NC, but that's just flawed thinking. Marquette is a good team, we're in a great great league, everyone can beat everyone on any given night.
Is UConn not a contender because they lost to St. John's? Of course that isn't the case.
Is Nova not a contender because they lost to Rutgers? Of course that isn't the case.
We have to play well to win. We aren't guaranteed any wins just because it's Marquette and the game is at Verizon. Marquette is a team I respect immensely. They're quick, they have a bunch of shooters, they have athletes, Johnson-Odom and Butler can go off at any time. We aren't above anyone. We have to grind out wins like anyone else.
Will we put ourselves in position to win if we play well? Absolutely. But to insinuate that we can win games just by showing up is the wrong way to think.

NC is right - in our place, against a middle-of-the-conference team, having won 7 straight, we SHOULD win this game - not guaranteeing we will, or suggesting that we don't have to be ready to play with all we got. But a true contender wins this type of game. That's all he was saying.

fwiw .. Over on WWW.MUSCOOP.COM - they're basically marking up a W vs. GU. They feel we're due for a loss and expect to beat us. I hope the players come out hungry and focused , this will not be an easy game. Crowder is a horse down low and it always seems like this team always gives us problems. With that said .. HOYAS by 5 (Freeman is gonna have a field day)

And I understand the sentiment.
But Marquette isn't garbage. They can play. So we have to play well to win just like any other game. Nobody in this league will win a game because of what their jersey says on the front or where the game is. And if we lose, we're no less than a true contender than if we win.

1) I actually think Uconn and Nova aren't contenders and those losses are a part of the reason. 2) Marquette has only lost one game by double digits this year and last year. That game was a 23pt drubbing by Georgetown in the big east tournament. 3) It will be a tough game more likely than not. It will likely come down to 2 stats. in our favor we have an excellent FG% and marquette is somethign like 237th in Deffensive FG%. They let teams score easily. On the otherhand they're #1 in TO margin in the BE and we're 15th. I give the edge to us majorly especially since they just played the 16th ranked team USF and it didn't help them.

Right now I think the Hoyas are a good team with the potential to be great. I'd like to see us really flex some muscle at home and take care of Marquette quickly, get some of the younger guys some serious minutes and win this one by 12+. The Hoyas are a GREAT team they just won 7 straight in the #1 conference in America!

Heading to DC with the family and looking forward to bringing my kids to their first game at the VC. Will be a very tough game, but the Hoyas should come out on top!

I don't see Quette as your typical middle of the pack BE team by any stretch. They've lost some tough games and there's more parity up and down in the conference this year with the possible exception of Pitt. I think the pack has drawn a bit on Pitt as the season has gone on anyway. It's going to be a battle. Go get 'em HOYAS!

Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Golden Eagles Blog: Hoyas on a hot streakNote the comment at the bottom: John Thompson III is the worst coach in the country. His teams constantly win on talent alone. Georgetown also gets a lot of calls in Big East play, but once they make the tourney they never seem to do to well under JT3's leadership. John Thompson III is the worst coach in the country.

Is that someone from this board???

No one ever said people from Wisconsin were very smart, let alone people from Wisconsin that post comments on newspaper sites.

Perhaps a phone call to the Athletic Department would be more effective? Surely you know someone there...
