The conference needs Marquette to be Top 25 all season along with us, Creighton, St. Johns and hopefully X.

And they did it without Shaka on the court joining the D.

Who suggested Marquette sucks? BE is insanely top heavy.

You were ahead of the pack on suggesting the league sucks, right?

Sucks may be an exaggeration, but just read the Big East OOC thread. There's been multiple posters talking about how they'll struggle this year and aren't a lock for the NCAA Tournament

Important game that could resonate down the road when tournament and conference conversations take place. A long way to go but a decisive win.
Probably partially me. Never said they would definitely struggle, I just didn't think they would be a lock at the time the discussion was had. I had them more in the likely category I believe.
I also said, I would be more than happy to be wrong. It appears I was, though I still don't like Gold or Joplin overall. Cam Jones is as expected but Mitchell is actually scoring the last three games. That is huge for them if he can keep this up. Defensively 1-3 they are really good.

These home courts early offer a lot of points. Purdue beats Bama by a good margin, Marquette pumps Purdue. Marquette 20 points better than Bama?
I know people love Braden Smith but boy is he small. Throw him and Loyer against any big athletic guards, can they win?
Great win - needed it. Marquette guards looked fast and physical. Seems to be their thing every year coming out early. Let’s see if they can maintain it through March.

Does this win result in a clean rating swap? Having watched that game, Marquette was clearly the better team.
The Big East teams have been playing against the best in college basketball for two years. This has to have lifted all boats in our league.

Yes, according to KenPom. Marquette was 21 and Purdue 12 going into the game. Now MQ 13 and Purdue 23

Purdue was outmatched the entire game. Marquette ran them off the 3pt line and their interior defense (albeit giving up a few easy layups here and there) did a great job crashing. Even when they overexaggerated their help at times, they dared Purdue to make open 3s at a high clip.
Kam Jones is REALLY good, but other than maybe 1 (MAYBE 2) other players, the Marquette shooting was BAD (ex. Joplin). That being said, I can easily see those role players who were back rimming/air balling 3s turning around and going 50% behind the arc when we visit them lol

This will move St. John’s and X to first four out so we can move another big team into last four in

If Jones gets in foul trouble it only compounds the problem that Marquette has no bench.
70 of their 76 points from the starters along 165 of their 200 minutes.

Lowery gets 14.8 minutes per game
Parham gets 13.6 minutes per game
Damarius Owens missed preseason and the first couple games with injury. He's the 56th rated recruit on rivals and word is he's very good. He's going to play and contribute for sure.
Sean Jones is going to come back soon enough from his ACL and get 20 minutes per game.

They were projected 14th and they are currently 6th.
