You can just never say anything bad about a Big East team. lol:beerbang:

pot, kettle, black

Im sorry but you havent watched UNC this year. Teams like Michigan St who play the halfcourt offense are exactly teams that UNC struggles with. They lost to NC St, they play a half court, slow it down game. They lost to Virginia Tech twice, who also plays the halfcourt game.


My one example who fits in perfectly with Marquette is Arizona. Both play the same kind of game and UNC went to Zona and won by 30. Michigan St obviously would be the tougher opponent for UNC.

I agree with GM.

Marquette would get run out of the gym.

I disagree. I definitely think marquette would lose to UNC, but they would be MUCH better competition than Mich State because of their style. You have to have a very good defense and very athletic players to force a running team into a half-court team, and Michigan St, imho, just doesn't have those players. Neither does marquette really, but Marquette stand a better chance of keeping up with UNC in an up tempo game. UNC would win a very tough game against Marquette.... But Marquette has some ballers. Perhaps you didn't watch them this year... although you MUST have seen them when they beat Duke by double digits... they also lost to Wisconsin by only 4, and beat texas tech. Be careful with writing off teams you aren't that familiar with.

I dont know who I will bet on in this one, but I do hope Michigan St wins this one.

Marquette would absolutley have no chance on the same floor against UNC. They basically play the same style offense with the up-tempo game. UNC would wipe the floor with Marquette. Michigan St will give UNC a much better game, they will use their half-court offense and tough defense to stick with UNC for most of the game, IMO.

I personally think it's a good play....but unfortunately so does the public so far :bang:

I'll probably be on it anyway though....
