Message: [QUOTE="Ricker, post: 4463875, member: 1245"] I don't see Georgetown, Providence, Depaul, or even a pretty solid Butler team as having enough horses to derail us. I've seen great defensive games by St Johns, Seton Hall, and Marquette, with significant on ball pressure which I think is the key to preventing us from exploiting our dominance at center. Of those 3, I believe only Marquette has the firepower to score enough to win. Xavier and Creighton are heavyweight fights if they are healthy. The outcome could be a romp or a single digit loss. We should dominate the Nova tha t played in November, but they are getting better. I like our chances but don't discount them. Their 3 point shooting and our 3 point defense will decide. In the end, anything between 20-0 and 17-3 seems actually on the table. Even if we slip due to injuries or bad Karma, I don't think anybody else does better than 15-5, so we should be the leader in the clubhouse for the Big East #1 seed. [/QUOTE]
