Game Preview - November 18 vs. Eastern Michigan
The Warriors are taking a little break in between the action of the CBE and will take on Eastern Michigan at the Bradley Center today. It will be the final tuneup for the boys before heading to KC to take on Bobby Knight and the Red Raiders of Texas Tech on Monday.
After finding their stride Tuesday against Detroit, look for Marquette to try to get off to another fast start. If they can get good ball movement and hit a few shots, they could begin to put this one away early. Dominic James got things going against Detroit, and that was a key in the game, so look for him to do it again. Fellow sophomores Wesley Matthews and Jerel McNeal will also look to have nice games.
Against Detroit, Lazar Hayward finally showed the potential we had all been hearing about. He will begin wearing number 32 today, his old high school number, in response to the controversy with George Thompson that we talked about a few days ago. He needs to continue building on what he showed the other night, as he will be needed against tough Big East opponents. David Cubillan has played great defense in the first few games and has shown a nice shooting stroke. He will be a good guy coming off the bench, especially as he becomes more consistent on the offensive side.
Senior Mike Kinsella has been injured again. It was announced that he has a stress fracture, and will miss several weeks. It is hoped that he can be back for conference play, but with another injury and the amount of playing time that he was getting, this may more or less end the Mike Kinsella era at Marquette.
I think the Warriors will continue their good ball movement and shooting, even if its not quite as good as the 55% that it was the other night. They should run away with this one early. If you have questions or comments, remember you can shoot me an email at marqbball@excite.com. Also, head over to MUScoop for some great Marquette discussion. I've got a link over on the side, it's been there about a week, don't know if you've clicked on it yet.
Prediction: 86-63 Marquette
