"...a student only game..."

Luckily, I was able to secure tickets to this game because it would have been very disappointing to have my streak end right now. I have been to 99 games in a row, so this will be game 100, which has been the current goal for a little while.

Hopefully my shameless horn tooting above doesn't jinx me in some way...

You've been my nominee for "Fan of the Year" several times due to your streak and willingness to go the ends of the Earth, even South Dakota to support the team. You have a serious challenge though. One poster, who wishes to remain anonymous, travels 4-5 hours to attend every home game. If only.......

Thanks. I gladly lend my support to the anonymous poster you refer to. Rumor has it that he was at the women's game as well on Monday.

This team is going to need some time to figure out how to play together and what their identity is/going to be. Majority of the team got here 3 months ago. Just don't see us with enough offensive power in this one.

Goodguys 61
Golden Showers 80

Just glad the team got flight and hotel squared away for their first flight away from Fairfax. To watch the game will be gravy.

FWIW, Stony Brook Brook is playing Central Michigan right now on ESPN+. If you are wondering right now why I would include this here, Stony Brook and Central Michigan are our next two opponents following Marquette as part of this MTE (or whatever this is called).

They flew commercial. My buddy was on same flight. LOL

Don’t expect a W but I do expect them to keep it respectable.

Guard play: can they score? How does the ball move? Does it look like we’re running a coherent offense? How do the starters play together?

Defense: can we hold them to spurts without scoring? Are we forcing turnovers? Limiting second chances? Can the bigs protect the paint?

Will be happy if we look decent on the above and keep it within 15. Even though it’s all new faces, our roster is extremely experienced and they should look like they belong on the same court tomorrow night. Tomorrow night will be the first real look we get at this team.

Going up against a good team that has played together for at least a year will be difficult for a group of mostly new guys. We lose by 20.

After crunching the numbers and analyzing the algorithms in a very meticulous manner, my updated prediction is

Trademarks 91
Marquette 71

What's the AI artwork going to be for this game? A big bottle of beer vs Patriot?

 

[Junkees9]

12.5 point underdog. Frankly I would have expected a higher number.

No jinx as of yet as I am currently at shoot around. All scholarship players and Chase are accounted for.

Despite my recent concerns about Jalen Haynes, I am calling a Mason victory on the road at Marquette

Book it.
