Early reports from MUBB twitter:
Played a full scrimmage and a 10 min bonus scrimmage.
4 players in double figures, led by M2N.
No scores or points released yet.
fair to assume Sam had double figures as well I'd say. I'm guessing Sacar and Chartouny as the other two

I'm going to go a bit out on a limb and guess, M2N, Sam, Bailey and Theo.

Interesting take on Theo
My guess for double figure scoring: Markus, Sam, Brendan, Cain
Markus, Sam, Joey, Cain is my guess. Morrow as next guess
But did we win?!?!?
I need to know if our chances for a decent seed have disappeared.

Michael Beasley came out of retirement and lit MU up again.

retirement? he plays for the lakers
MU as a whole looks happier. Think we won.
Sacar, Theo, and Ike look PISSED though. Can't wait for the reaction to Friday's press release.
MU had more guys smiling in the photo so we definitely won....defintely

Poorly phrased. Michael Beasley snuck in in a Northwestern Uniform and lit up MU again.

Theo is in warm ups. Wonder if he didn't play.
In other secret scrimmage news, DePaul lost by 7....to Bowling Green
Yes I know it's a meaningless scrimmage. Yes I know they often do a mix of drills rather than a true scrimmage

Seriously, we need to kick DePaul out of the Big East. They can assign their lease at the WinTrust to Loyola, who will need the extra seats when we let them join the conference.

MUBB already said no highlights. Last year Steele wrote a story but doesn't look like it's happening this year.

What happens when Loyola turns back into Loyola? I mean, before last season did they typically even fill their own tiny arena? (Maybe they did. Legitimately don't know.)

Yea, Gentile Center is pretty garbage. Was nice when it opened 20 years ago but pretty below par nowadays even after they renovated it in 2011.

My point wasn't the quality of the place, though. My point was that before Loyola turned into Cinderella for a few weeks, were they even able to draw fans?
I'm pretty sure chickadee doesn't really want Loyola in the BE; she was just saying they'd be better than DePaul, and might not even have been saying that (maybe adopting my teal-less tradition).
I don't think Loyola would be a great add, but I doubt they'd be any worse than DePaul. As for attendance, Loyola averages only a couple thousand per game... but that isn't too far behind what DePaul has averaged.

DePaul plays more desirable opponents given its BE membership... and I wouldn't be surprised if Loyola could meet or exceed that with a comparable schedule.
Seriously, would Loyola be any worse than DePaul if it had the advantages of BE membership? It's hard to be much worse than last virtually every season.

I would wait a couple more years to see if Loyola has actual staying power but it's certainly getting to the point where it's worth investigating.
I'll translate chick for you. 'DePaul is so freakin' bad that we may as well swap them out for Loyola. At least Sr. Jean is cool!' It's more a commentary on DePaul and their historic refusal to field a competitive team. Now everything we think we know is that they are slightly better this year but losing your exhibition doesn't inspire.

They can't even pay players well enough to come there.
Bold prediction here. Assuming DePaul's recruiting actually stays around to get on campus they will field a halfway competitive team in two years.

Possibly. But given DePaul's history, that assumption itself is pretty bold.

Yea, they have been pretty consistent in getting early commits who later decommit.
Or occasionally a decent player who has no one else around him and an inept coaching staff.

I would wait a couple of years to even consider investigating whether Loyola should be considered for consideration.
Porter Moser's 7 seasons included records of 7-23, 15-15, 10-22 and 15-17. He has had exactly 2 good seasons as Loyola's coach. It took the second-best series in the program's 100+ year history for Moser to get his career record barely above .500. And they historically have struggled to fill a tiny arena.
A few short months from now, we might realize we should have been saying:
If you wanna crown them, then crown their a$$. But they are who we thought they were!

This...I have been saying this for years...they have ZERO business being in the Big East, absolutely none whatsoever...in fact, they really should just downgrade from D1 altogether...
So effen disappointed in the mods for not posting the SOTG yet!!!
DePaul needs better players to win more games. That said in regular season play the last two years, MU is 2 -2 versus them... which is not great when all four games are essentially home games for MU.

Easy fix, boot DePaul, bring in UConn.
Really can't get ANY reports from the scrimmage? What about OnePostEagle guy who's best buddies with the manager, or something like that.
Crazy how tight they've kept this.

Yeah cause we crushed them and Wojo feels bad and doesn't want to hurt his friends feelings.
Tomorrow is basically Secret Scrimmage part 2. We'll get a good gander.

Super excited for the Kerol game! I'm a bit of a stats junkie and see they have a great FG% which will be a challenge for our D. Though maybe we shouldn't expect too much because they never show up in the Crystal Ball for anyone.
I'm worried. I hear Keroll can really knock down free throws

I think the point is Depaul likely kept us out of the NCAA tournament last year and out of the NIT the Ellenson year. When they've ruined that much for us recently it's fair to say we should relax our hate.
That being said screw Depaul

I apologize, I was looking at the wrong year. It was 2015-16 that we lost to them.
That was the Billy Garrett flop and a half though. God I did not like him.
Who's gonna guard Joe Barry Carroll?
