Oso planning to go pro
Sometimes the whole is greater than the sum of its parts (midgets of 2009-10), sometimes it’s worse (sub .500 team with Carton, McEwen, Cain, John, Garcia, Lewis and Elliot).Lewis was a really good player, but not the type Shaka generally recruits. Shaka adapted, Lewis thrived and the team did pretty well. This year (with less talent due to the subtraction of Lewis) Shaka doesn’t have to adapt. He can play the style he prefers with players he recruited to play that style. I think we’ll be better. Only time will tell.

Is that a SOTG belt that appears at 0:09 (and in the photo below)?
The one thing that jumped out to me in the Lewis discussion is that the HC made little effort, or so it seemed, to find a replacement for the Lewis role. No doubt, to replace Lewis with one portal guy was not an easy ask, but just maybe, the HC coach felt filling that role with multiple players was the best path to take going into the season. If Lewis had returned, I question if we would have seen the improvement of a slew of guys, especially in a real game.
Had an absolute blast traveling to South Bend! The MU travel party was large and electric. From the pre-reception, to the game, to the Lake Forest Oasis. MU fans were loud and amped.I am 0-3 at Hinkle, 0-1 at Mackey, and 0-1 at Assembly Hall. Feels good to break the dry spell and come out with the W! We are Marquette!
Please stop attending games
RC83, why would so many people have you in ignore? Ha. Maybe Daniel was being funny? Or just all wanting to share joy. Weird.

One brief complaint about the walk-ons. Number 51 walk-on needs to spread the wealth. These guys get about 10 possessions per year where they can, as a unit, take a shot. He took our only look today AND he took the two looks they had in the Baylor game. Name on the front of the jersey, 51!Not teal.
