Saturday's Games 1/30

The thread on the butlerhoops forum is pretty entertaining. Full blown message board melt down.

So, no different than any other message board when their team gets beat.

....Our bids are evaporating right in front of us... Fck. We need the middle of the pack to step the fck UP! No one should be losing to Marquette, St. Johns, and DePaul a this point because the truth is that unless Marquette wins the rest of the way it wont be seen as an acceptable loss... They are way outside of the bubble.

Well, Marquette has been a winning program that went to three straight Sweet 16's and was a game away from the Final Four in 2013. Yes, things are down, but there was 16,000 of pride in the Bradley Center with young players maybe finally seeing the light.

I don't think anyone really puts Marquette in the DePaul/sju category.

But Marquette shot itself in the foot and then lost to DePaul. Sorry, you do that and you become a team that big east fans like me and ecasaduSBU need to root against.

Long term we know Marquette is solid. And it is nice to see them pleasing the thousands and thousands and thousands of fans who showed up yo watch one of the top freshmen in the country okay the best game of his career.

More upset at butler than I am at Marquette.

Marquette has size and talent....To lump them in with DePaul & St Johns is ludicrous.

Their garbage OOC schedule though does put Marquette in bad loss land. Even after today, their RPI is 109. They need to win 4 of their last 9 games to finish with a top 100 RPI. Right now, they are absolutely lumped in with DePaul and St John's as bad losses.

We get that, but that's not what he is saying.

Talent level Marquette shouldn't be lumped in with DePaul and St John's, but in terms of what has happened, Marquette IS lumped in with DePaul and St John's.

Really? Marquette has a winning record.

Really? Marquette has a winning record.

And a sub 100 RPI(#110). Sub 100 RPI=bad loss.

You guys shouldn't be sub 100 RPI with your record, but because you guys decided to play what is #282 right now OOC SOS, your 11-2 OOC record means pretty much nothing. Also you guys lost to DePaul.
