Dr. B

I definitely respect you as a poster and appreciate your support to the program big time, but I somewhat surprised on your COLE outlook. I look at the other members of that tribe and I think you are too good to be hanging around with crew on scoop. Very surprised to see you in a group that IMO really do not see the big picture and the direction of the program.

I am pissed we lost night, but I believe they will be better for it later in the season. Tony Smith said on the radio a bit ago that he loves the fight the guys showed again last night. He added there are no moral victories, but last night was a helluva game and MU is going the right direction.

I explained this in pre-season about my expectations. I said we take a step back in Year 2 to take a step forward, but peaking in the 2nd half of the season. Why? We lost our two Alpha Go To guys, we are young and would have to stumble before we had to win, the frosh would have to play key roles.

That said, MU has slightly overperformed, yet MU is 0-4 in close games. You have to fail so you can learn to succeed.

Also in regards to Shaka (and I am all in), the coaching staff needs to focus on situationals which determine about 8 games a year. This tag rightly came with Shaka. As he said after Wisconsin they hadn't practiced end of game plays, my head started to quiver. When you look at Shaka's great overall win record you realize he has a great system. But if the staff also stressed situationals, MU can be elite. Cooley is elite.

Until all this comes together, COLE. Time is a valuable teacher.

Yes, that was the one thing he said this season that left me saying, "Really?"

One of the greatest coaches ever, as illustrated by his many Elite 8s, Final Fours and national titles.

Nah, just doing an excellent job the last few seasons.

The way he used the portal to re-load in the off-season actually worked, and it’s not working at a lot of other places

Providence is good, but not as good as its record indicates.  Tough home game wins against UConn and MU.  Still have to play those teams on the road, plus two each against Creighton, X and Nova.

Providence will lose 6 of those 8 games.  My work is done here.

I hear ya.

I also heard this for two-thirds of the conference season last year as well.

Hopefully they fall off as the schedule starts to stiffen up

It always feels like Providence is overrated. Then they eke out another close win.  Oh, they suck and got lucky.... after they beat your team.

That is an awfully high number of close games. Give me the double digit win any day of the week.

Yep.
I said last season on several occasions, that at the end of the day what matters the most is wins and losses, and they are BE Champs.

We can talk data all we want, but they’ve got the BE Championship.

Next 3 games are against the top 3 teams in the BE outside of Marquette.
If MU can somehow win 2 of them then things will get really exciting around here.

Already jacked up for Wednesday. A very big game for early January. The place should be rocking.

Watching the game today made me laugh at the scoopers commenting about Marquette's lack of depth a week or so ago. I disagreed then and commented that we have a deep team, as today's game showed. We probably have the deepest team ever.

There a lot of mopes on scoop. Depth is a big strength of this team. Plus, the depth includes different skill sets.

Same, already can’t wait. Wish the students were fully back but it’ll still be a great crowd. Big week for MU basketball coming up.
