The 2010-2011 Marquette basketball season is upon us. The games that count officially tip-off tonight at 8:00 Milwaukee time. Before the year starts, let's take a look how the Anonymous Eagle's contributors think the season will play out.
I'm shocked that Rubie has the worst prediction for the overall record. Everyone is bullish on another NCAA tournament bid and Jae Crowder is getting a lot of newcomer love. The team MVP race should be a good one between Darius Johnson-Odom and Jimmy Butler. Feel free to share your predictions in the comments and harass anyone you think may be way off base.
