Musketeer Madness

X -4. This is an important game for seeding. It would be nice to win 5 Big East games on the road and 8 at home. Of course it would be nice to be 18-0 and win the Big East tournament.

This game bothers me as a trap game--- as much as a Big East game can be a a "trap" anyway.

Two days after christmas, I don't know if we even had a single practice between UNI and this game or if guys went home or whatever.

Marquette gave us problems last year (beating us twice) with a similar roster.

They have two small quick guards which seems to be our weakness (they're not as good as ASUs guys but similar in that they're 5'11/6'0 and can run by our guys.

They also have hauser who has killed us in the past (at least it feels that way to me).

We've also been kind of playing down to people recently anyway. It won't be a horrible loss but is one on paper we should win easily but I think could catch us.

Hopefully the losses last year help X focus. This is not a game the team should be overlooking given what happened last year. Bluiett hasn't played great for several games so hopefully he will be back on track today.
