Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3835921, member: 26"] Great insight. I did not know the "reasoning" for the 2 losses. I just wanted to point out, though, my thoughts on the MOV also had to do with recent games. Beating SJU by an average of 8, Creighton by 13, and Georgetown by 7 is not a great "effort" against weaker teams... UCONN beat SJU by 32, without Williams, Makurat, and for the most part Griffin. That is literally 3/5 of our normal starting lineup (when everyone is healthy). You may well be right- Marquette is obviously on the right path and it will bode well for the Big East if other teams besides UCONN and DePaul step up on a consistent basis. My initial thought was that the MOV would be in the 15-18 PPG range, but when I dug into it, I felt like it should be 25-30. Of course a lot depends on who plays for UCONN tonight - we know Anna is out indefinitely. I have not seen if Christyn and/or Aubrey will be back. If all 3 are out, I suspect the MOV will be closer to 15. But we will see soon enough!! [/QUOTE]
