IU Scott Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Wonder if they would have made this matchup if Crean was still the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Thanks TDH. Once again. Stellar work. In somewhat related news. Marquette Men's Basketball is getting a new home. Marquette Basketball Players Tour New Milwaukee Arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 I like this. Should be a good game to test the freshman. Nothing like a Power 5 conference team coming to AH to create some buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as a guy that watched a lot of basketball in the 70's I am ecstatic about playing Marquette. Always loved Al McGuire and Rick Majerus. One of the best basketball games I ever saw in person was in the NIT in '85. Marquette/IU. Majerus vs. Knight. I have always respected Marquette.

Look forward to the bigger matchups. Especially at AH. Marquette is better than DePaul or some 200+ ranked team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conferences I mentioned with the Big East included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Nice matchup, was hoping to pull Nova for the PR aspect of it, but Marquette is a good one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW_Hoosier Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Meh, a matchup with Marquette does nothing for me. They’ve been an extremely mediocre program under Wojo. Will be disappointing if we don’t beat them at home. I would’ve much rather played X... Matching Wisconsin up with them seems like a waste.

KoB2011 Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 We should win, but it will be interesting to see how we handle Howard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquette probably with be the better team over Xavier this year. Xavier has lost their top 5 scorers from last year and will be rebuilding.

Marquette isn't relevant in the college basketball landscape at this time... and that's the only landscape that matters. They're an avg team. Them being above avg in the 70s does not change their mediocrity right now. Fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Daily Hoosier Posted May 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 We took a look back at the 2001 IU vs. Marquette matchup here. A lot of intriguing story lines from that game. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/looking-back-at-indiana-vs-marquette-in-2001-full-game-video/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If weren't for the threat of Romeo getting in foul trouble he would guard him. I would bet Green will get him mostly, DG has a 4 inch height advantage.

FW_Hoosier Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 When I heard this news, I initially thought, “Didn’t we just play Marquette in the Gavitt Games at the beginning of the 2015-2016 season?” Had to go back and look, and realized it was Creighton. No difference to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
