3 great games. Probably the best slate of games outside of the champions classic so far this year. Leggo Big East bros

Anyone else have a feeling we clinch the Gavitt's tonight?

Honestly...the only game left in this series that I'd definitely bet against us in his MSU @ Hall, and I wouldn't be nearly as down on that one if Powell was healthy.

I feel good about Providence, but the other games will be tough. Purdue/Marquette is a toss up and Holtmann always plays nova well, although I feel better about that game. Having watched both teams, nova looks like a much better team. Hopefully, we sweep though.

They're certainly not easy, but I think we have the decidedly better team in 2 of the 3 (PC/NW and Nova/OSU) and if Marquette isn't better than Purdue outright (which they very well may be), being at home should be enough if an edge.

Now obviously the better team doesn't always win (sup, Kentucky) but I think a sweep is very possible and I'd be disappointed with less than 2 of 3.

2-1 would be a great result. Northwestern stinks so hopefully PC should win. Marquette is probably a toss up. Nova I would say is a slight underdog, they are too young and its a road game although OSUs homecourt isnt that great.

I'd be a lot more confident if we had Jayce Johnson (7'0'' graduate transfer center) to balance out Haarms, but I still think we pull this one out.

PC beat Purdue in their "secret" scrimmage played in Indy that was played as a regular game. We won by 7 even without Nate Watson available to beat up Purdue's big guy. Marquette should be able to handle them, especially at home.

Man, November might be my favorite month (aside from March) in college bb, so many good games.

I really want to see Theo John give Haarms the old hair tussel after blocking his shot.
