==========================



This is the most interesting series of 3 games on MUs schedule in my opinion. In a way they'll be defining.
One could say there's a better chance of losing all three than winning all three. I'm guessing we'll be favored in the first one only. Maybe I have that wrong, but three tough, tough games.

I'm saying 2-1 with a loss to Creighton...but I think 2-1 in any case....I'm an optimist not a realist. We will see.

VOTE CLOSES SUNDAY MORNING....so technically you could vote after the UCONN game. Please vote before. But I'm going to snap the results up to game time and will post that as the official results.
Thanks.

3-0.

Otherwise am I really a fan?

St. John's worries me.  Especially seeing the "aggressive" defense they were allowed to play against Xavier.

Flip side, if they let us get away with it too that will help our defense.

I can't accept anything less than 4-0 in these next 3 games.

Ah, Sultan, we're still not playing cards are we?

3-0 - love to see this. Hope you are right and I am wrong.

This will be our hardest stretch of league play, so I think 1-2 is realistic and a fair baseline.

Anything above that would be massive. 0-3 wouldn't be the worst, but it would definitely be much less than satisfactory.

Ping!

I voted 0-3.  This team has been clueless for a month

at the start of conference play, I wouldn't have chalked UConn up as the expected win during the stretch, but I am now.

We always seem to play well against Creighton.  St. John's in on the road so seems a difficult win and UConn is home for us and they are not playing well as late.

I'm at 1 and 2. Think we can lock down UC at home on D and shoot a few threes. We seem to struggle at creighton and I think they have good home court advantage and are well coached. Expect this game to be close. I have watched SJ play a few times this year and they are rugged. Play tough D like us but with bigger dudes. Kam struggles against these type of teams. Will be are most difficult game in BE, see a 7+ point loss.

Let's win the next one.

I voted 0 because Shaka still hasn't learned anything from Marcus Freeman.

If Kam rides the bench, we can find a win in there

I am just hoping for good, clean competition.

Is St. John's the new Louisville?

Honestly I just hope everyone has fun these next three games.

This is kind of like trying to predict not just how many times you'll get heads when tossing a coin 3 times but also predicting which of the tosses will be heads.

Thankfully we're playing with a 2-headed coin this year. gg ez

Superb.

There are currently 64 Wojo mojo's in this thread.

I'm not saying it's your fault marquette has looked doodoo against the zone, but I ain't saying it isn't.

Quote from: wadesworld on January 30, 2025, 11:04:14 AMPing!

And again to make the poll visible. Once more tomorrow afternoon and then a recap after we beat UCONN.

Hope that's not too annoying.

Is this Heise?

Vote!
