UConn vs Marquette on Tuesday

[Son of Robert]

So I see Marquette is 1-3 in conference which surprises me some. Losses to Seton Hall, Villanova, and Xavier, yet they beat Creighton. Anyone have some scouting commentary on this matchup?

Really looking forward to the game and a busy January schedule.

Watch the CT scoreboard livestream tomorrow night, there’s a thread with the link.

There’s this as well...

and they beat wisconsin which is one of the top 2 OOC wins in the BE along with nova's win at texas. losses to Hall, Nova, and Xavier will all be "good" losses at the end of the day. marquette has the talent to finish in the top 5 of the conference.

Thankfully this layoff between DePaul and Marquette will be the longest layoff between games until the end of January and that’s it. 4 days or less rest of the time.

I’ve seen them a few times, not full games but watched portions. That’s a very talented 1-3 team with real nice size. Much like the remainder of the regular season our guys will need to be on their game, rebound the basketball to win this one.

Marquette is one of those Big East teams who can beat anyone on any given day and get blown out on any given day.

According to UConn, it is.

This is again at 9:00 right? So far that’s the only downside of the Big East. Haven’t seen Marquette. Don’t think there is anybody we can’t beat if we play our A game.

Nice. I should have checked my UConn game feed on my calendar. I used the Yahoo sports app before posting this. I gotta get back into my normal new year functions. Ugh. Thanks! Beats tje CBSSN game before. Super excited now.

Obviously they r much better than record.Playes the top 4 teams in conference!

 

[Greathusky]

I am afraid of every team in the Big East.

That’s prime time TV..probably put there for TV ratings.

Carlton should have a good game. He's playing really well, solid rebounding, and aggressive with his post moves looking to score.

Over 47% of the population in the U.S. is in the Eastern time zone. 29% is central. 9:00-11:00 is past prime time for the audience of this game.

 

[Son of Robert]

I'm looking for Polley to have a good game too here against Marquette. He looked better last game, more in the flow of it, and I could see that he had good confidence and energy.

9:00 start is ideal for those of us with little kids. Can safely get them down to bed well before tip. I don't really care about getting to bed early now since my morning commute is walking downstairs to get coffee.

I hate it when there is a 7 PM game on before us. Overtime is my greatest fear.

Well Villanova DePaul was cancelled so no worries on that front

 

[UconnU]

Opening Vegas line UConn +2. Have to take us here getting points before the line moves.

Had the hour drive to Milwaukee for this game circled ever since we announced the return to the Big East and somehow we can't figure out how to allow limited capacity for events in Wisconsin. Disappointing...
