#15 Marquette beats # 6 Purdue

Marquette is one of the best situations in the country.

1. They have a ton of money to the extent Shaka has the freedom to choose how he operates and can manage a traditional program method of player development and retention in this NIL age. Endowment, boosters, NIL, you name it.

2. They have a good coach who is from the State and connects on a personal level. He’s not looking at the next best thing either as he’s already been down that road.

3. They have great facilities.

4. Their fan support is tremendous. They average 15k/game for years.
Frickin shooters. That team is like Creighton with their perimeter shooting traditionally.

Plus they get lots of possessions by scoring early in the shot clock.

They move really well without the ball and always look for the extra pass to get an open shot.

They make it really hard on defenses to cover them. And it makes them super dangerous at the end of games because they aren’t taxed like other teams’ starters.

Who ya got VCU

Game's not until Thursday but let's get a lot of opinions.

Cupcake city is over. Now the Pirates move up a weight class. But is it really that far up?

Don't get me wrong VCU is good and to date clearly better than the Pirates. But maybe Saturday we finally saw a glimpse of what this team can do.

I am going with the upset and expect a tight game.
