To ME, IMHO, I don't think their schedule is thus far is all that impressive. OK, home-court advantage will always be home-court advantage and good teams will win most of them.
So, besides Marquette being on top of the Big East, who are the Other ELITE teams?
IMO Syracuse of course, Notre Dame is hot, and Georgetown is the biggest surprise this year.
Marquette played those 3 teams away and lost. They did play decent, but ultimately lost to the elite.
Joe Lunardi also has USF, Cincy, LouisV, Seton, uConn, & WVU in his NCAA bracket with only USF, Cincy, & LouieV with records Above .500.
Their 11 wins out the last 12 really aren't that impressive IMO. Here's the Last 12 Games broken down:
Their 1 loss was to a hot Notre Dame who is also atop the Big East.
The top 3 semi-good teams that they won in that 12-game strewith At Least a winning conference record were Cincy, LouieV, and USF which were all won AT HOME.
Then they beat an 8-8 Seton Hall AT HOME and beat a head-coachless 7-8 Uconn team on the road.
The Final 6 of the Last 12 games were vs JUNK teams; Pitt (4-11), VillaN (4-11), Rutgers (4-11), Prov (2-13), St. John's (5-10), & DePaul (2-13).
HALF of the Last 12 were against Bottom-Dwellers that totaled 21 wins, 69 losses!!!!! And most of those 21 wins were scrappin' against those same 6 crap teams!
And like I said above they lost to 1 elite, beat the 4 next toughest teams AT HOME and beat a reeling Uconn team away.
Does "Marquette won 11 of their last 12 games" sound that great after you actually LOOK AT IT?!?!
Best of Luck
Next up for Marquette....@ West Virginia (7-8)
The Marquette/West Virginia line is JUSTIFIED!!!!!!

Marquette is the play. They are 4-0 ats in their last 4. And 6-1 ats in their last 7 road games. They are also 8-3 ats against teams with a winning record. Doesn't matter if u lose. It's whether u COVER!!!

DoubleDown, you sound like a guy who bets on a team solely because it has a Nationally-Ranked Number attached to it.
In other words, you sound like a gambler who loses money because you flip coins picking heads or tails because you don't look into matchups or do Any research whatsoever.
I dig 10 times DEEPER into matchups than the average bettor. I look at things that people can't see. Stats, trends, & records can be construed to look better or worse than they really are but people want quick answers.
I take time to look at Everything and every angle and everystat and then I SHARE WHAT I FIND FOR OTHERS, so that they can be more educated about a matchup and you call ME an idiot?!?!
First of all KIDS go around during Recess and call people names. Grow up.
Second of all, if you don't agree with what Im saying or what I've found, then click somewhere else and read something that makes you feel good about your pick that you made last night as soon as the line came out after you won the flip on HEADS.
Im NOT saying Marquette WILL or WONT WIN. Im posting info for people to help them in picking a side.
Best of Luck DD, but you can NEVER research TOO MUCH.

Apologize for calling you an idiot. And I am 8-1 w several of those wins falling under your scenario above. I give a fuck about rankings. I care about the coaches, scenarios, and most important of all - The ATHLETES.
Keep running your mouth - I probably have more money in gambling accounts than you have in your checking/savings accounts.

The road losses for Marq don't really scare me, because even though Marq has never won in Morgantown, we can't put WVU in the category of SYR GT or ND this year. Maybe the 11 out of 12 isnt that impressive to you, but there's something in there that stands out to me. With their offense, and overall style of play, Marq is capable of winning on the road.
Coachless or not, I put WVU closer to Uconn (also USF and the other teams you mentioned) than I do the elites of the big east. Many people are throwing around the "coachless" argument with uconn, but the fact is, Vegas still had Uconn favored last week (by 3) and Marq won outright.
Whenever I see a team rolling like Marquette (winning their last 4, all by double digits). I like to roll with the momentum rather than bet against it.

You are an idiot. 11-1 doesn't impress you? So I guess WVU 2-6 in the last 8 is more of an accomplishment.
I think it will be close, but WVU only wins if the refs hand it to them with a bow on top.
AND YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE AND COMPLETE PIECE OF SHIT....
u come and call a guy that gave valid pts an idiot---u are the idiot ---
i think he has a pt and avery valid---Marq record its not impressive at all----i think a 11-1 12-0-13-2 winnning record with 60% of those wins being over bottom fedders and garbage teams---doesnt immpress me at all---- wng looked great against Non ADime but the irish have been lucky ---and wvga had one ot thier worst melt downs EVER----- besides---the reffs in this game are biased ones---so wvga will have not only home field..but also the reffs on their side---and with the wanting to shake the humiliation---BOL on ur marquette bet

Marquette doesn't make the big east schedule and who wins at Cuse, nd, and gt anyway??? I'm sure they were dogs in all 3. Wvu has looked defeated the last month+. Take the hot team til theyre not hot anymore....IMO

Thanx for sharing information and opinions that may help others.
You had me wrong on WV. By NO means whatsoever do I think WV is comparable to the top of the BE, but im more or less saying Marquette is more the level of Cincy or LouieV which they beat AT HOME. Me personally, I wont go as far as saying USF because IMHO I think USF is already overrated a bit.
Cincy & LouieV played a well-matched, competitive game last night as you all may have saw. I think Marq playing AT Cincy or LouisV would BOTH be GREAT games to watch AND we'll actually get one matchup IN Cincy yet this year.
WV...as good and bad as they CAN play at 7-8 in conference, has a DECENT (about 40% IMO) chance of upsetting #10 Marquette playing WITH Home-Court advantage IN a Rowdy Crowdy Morgantown with a legitimate shot at putting a #10 on the resume.
If there was a gun to my head, Id take HEADS with DoubleDown and go with my 60% (IMO) chance Marquette Golden Eagles....but there's not a gun to my head and I

....DON'T flip coins. Ill save my $ for tomorrow's slate. Im sure there are better deals than a ranked team playing away at an unranked team on national television.

wmi what is your record? How many units are you down?
That otta shut u up.
Go ahead and lie and post some fictitious bs, when you and I both know you probably hand your book 5k a year in $300 increments. Keep up the good work wmi. And again, if you don't care then why post - contradiction, flip-flop, wa wa wa - ooh u don't get he point - total schmuck.

Best of Luck tonight DD and everyone else who stopped in to read or pop-up a post.
Hope you all can Enjoy the game tonight. Hopefully it's a fun and competitive game instead of a blow-out one way or the other depending on where your money is. Every gambler likes a nice, easy win rather than sweating it out on the edge of their seat.
Ahh yes...what it was like before gambling on sports was invented...the good old days when sports fanatics could REALLY enjoy a good competitive game.
Where has the time gone???
Go Marquette!!! (If you didn't know, Marq is my home-town team...which is another reason I don't like betting them if I think it's gonna be a close, competitive game)
