Wow... Great draw.
Marquette isn’t bad, but they live and die by the 3 ball and we are pretty good at shutting that down. New Mexico is overrated and Clemson/Mizzou have a good chance to knock off WV.

Horrible seeding!
How does the PAC 10 tourney winner (beat Cal 2 times) end up as an 11th seed, incredible bias

Nobody expected more, given what we knew, this is good news.
The PAC-10 is underrated this year, you can’t expect people to change their minds about the relative skill level of the conferences at this point.

just saying
The seeding used to take in to account last 2 weeks and conference tourny, plus the fact they beat Cal 2 times and Cal is seeded higher?

Cal has a better resume than we do, not surprising.

Not sure about that
They played a tougher schedule but if you lose all but 1 of your toughest games what does that say?

Don't look at the seed
Look at the fact they are playing on the West Coast, still. The fact that they are shows that they were probably wiggled around to make the bracket fit. Putting together a bracket isn’t as easy as you think and the fact that UW is still close to home says something.
and really we got a good draw...
we have a tough game with MU, but we drew the weakest 3 seed and Clemson and Missou are good games for us as well. WVU scares me a bit.
Exactly
The draw and location are fine. It’s not the seed that matters. Marquette/UW is as much of a coin flip as you can get, despite the seed difference between the two.
Just seems off
Looking at the bracket overall i can’t argue i like the west coast site, just as weird as this bracket is i would have liked to see a better seed than Cal for the overall resume

Loiusivlle / Duke
just to get to the Sweet 16…
if they pull it off, they likely get Purdue/Texas A&M (although I like Siena as an upset).
That’s one of the toughest draws of any team period.
Louisville isn't that great, but Duke in round 2 is deadly.
I like Cal, but Duke is a tall order. I think we have a better chance at getting to the sweet 16 than Cal.
Yikes. And on the East Coast no less. Cal fans can't be happy with that.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I think the fact that they get to play in San Jose is pretty damn favorable.
… lots of Dawgs in the Bay Area – I lived there for my first seven years out of college.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.
Game Time?
Does anyone know what time the game is being played?
ESPN says 4:20 Pacific on Thursday.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
The committee must have been as high as the moon when they gave Duke a #1 seed.
"BANG!" - Jim Lampley's first word as a child
Who would you have in instead?
The only travesty I see is Wisconsin being as low as a 4 and BYU as a 7.
West Virginia deserved a #1 seed.
Syracuse should not have been ranked lower than Duke, either.
"BANG!" - Jim Lampley's first word as a child
WOO! HOO!
Pac-10 Tournament Champs! Great job and GO DAWGS in the Big Dance!!
Washington Husky Football-Undefeated 1991 National Champions 12-0!
No complaints here
We got a very favorable matchup plus a short travel, same time zone draw. I would rather be a 11 seed and stay close rather than Cal at 8 which has to go very very east. I think the tourney win and season record with Cal were taken into account by draw, if not the seed. Hope I make the cut for tickets to first round this year. GO HUSKIES
Good news
We seem to be peaking at just the right time for this draw…
If i could get to San Jose quickly, I would.
Go! Huskies!
Marquette fan here.
Can’t wait for the game on Thursday. For a basketball-only school, this is the most wonderful time of the year.
Looking forward to learning more about UW as the week goes on. From what I’ve read so far, it sounds like this should be an excellent game!
you're right
I can see it going either way. Heck, in that regard it’s like most games in the tourney. I enjoyed reading what your coach had to say about Romar. I’m just excited to be in the tourney and am looking forward to the matchup. Have fun watching it, I know I will.

Playing with house money.
Peaking at the right time, got a favorable matchup in Marquette and a weak higher seed in New Mexico (who might not make it past Montana, honestly).
Marquette is good on offense at the things UW likes to shut down and is poor on defense at the things UW does well. Real opportunity to make some noise, but I’m just glad they made the tournament.

Yeah...
after that start they really dampened expectations. A Sweet 16 apperance would be beyond great right now. Even a “Pedestrian 32” game would make me happy at this point. UM’s a good team and nobody should be to upset with a loss.
I hope we can go off and hang three digits on Marquettte, but I’m not getting my hopes to high again.
You, sir, are correct
Not quite Dick Bennett levels, but 63 possessions per game is slow. Like almost slowest in the nation slow
The link already shows Marq beating UW 73-72...lol

It's predictions based on the system
MU is one spot ahead of UW in the rankings and is a one point favorite with 49% confidence. Or, a coin flip as I posted below
So your saying there's a chance!
Dawgs are ona mission from GOD!
by DAWGFATHER91 on Mar 14, 2010 7:54 PM PDT up reply actions
Depends
If the team that played Cal shows up I am VERY confident, if the team that played in the first half of the Beavers game shows up, we are DOOMED!
