February Scheduling Predictions

Your Milwaukee Bucks, Wisconsin Badgers and Marquette Golden Eagles all have games this month. Let's take a sneak peek about what to expect record wise for the pride of the Badger State.

Bucks

Feb 01 @MIA L
Feb 02 @ORL L
Feb 05 @NY W
Feb 06 IND W
Feb 09 DET W
Feb 10 @NJ W
Feb 17 HOU L
Feb 19 @DET W
Feb 20 CHA W
Feb 22 @NY W
Feb 24 NO W
Feb 25 @IND W
Feb 27 @MIA L
Feb 28 @ATl L

Overall: 9-5.

Interesting that they play the Heat 3 times this month. Overall a pretty cupcake schedule. Have to clean up this month if you want to make the playoffs.

Marquette:

Feb 03 DeP W
Feb 06 @PRO W
Feb 13 SF W
Feb 18 PIT W
Feb 21 @CIN W
Feb 24 @STJ W
Feb 28 @STN W

Overall: 7-0

The opening schedule was brutal, but if you combine February and March, Marquette has a decent chance to win out. Marquette, according to Ken Pom is ranked 17th in the country. Hopefully they have a good enough record to make the tournament, although I suspect that they will have to win 1 Big East game to make it to the Big Dance. This team has the chance to, as a double-digit seed to make a deep run into the tournament.

Badgers:

Feb 02 MSU W
Feb 06 @UM W
Feb 09 @UI W
Feb 13 @IU W
Feb 18 @MIN L
Feb 21 NW W
Feb 25 @IU W

Overall: 6-1

Another easy schedule for a Wisconsin team. Only loss I see is at Minnesota, and only because of the rivalry and the absence of Jon Leuer. Wisconsin is #4 in Ken Pom
