To DC to wax Georgetown. And if they don't? To Milwaukee to wax Xavier. And if they don't? To Omaha to wax Creighton.
Some of you maybe need to hear it, some of you don't, but chill the fux out.
Take it from me, someone who was severely wrong about this team earlier in the year, the first 24 games weren't a fluke.

We will be fine.
If you don't like the team,then why follow them? I don't get it.

Lose against UCONN, move on beat to Georgetown.
Lose to Georgetown, move on to beat Xavier.
And so on.
19-6, 11-3.
February Fade? Fu*k em.

When you collapse at the end of the season every year for a decade it's not a coincidence. It means something is broken.

They have a different coach, different players, different offense, different students...same scoop.
Maybe attitudes and outlooks like yours are the problem?

I'm officially done caring about MU basketball. Don't care if they are good down the road. Between Wojo and this my love for mubb has been completely extinguished.
I'm sorry Wojo hurt you. Seems you do seem to care a lot still though

If I have that much power over the team they are even worse off than I thought! I've said some absurd things but nothing like you just said. 😂

Thank you sir!
Shaka will tell us where we go from here. UCONN provided us with a blueprint of our vulnerabilities. He'll study it and come up with a plan to correct the problems.
It was much more than a very poor performance by the players we rely upon. As Raferty said near the end of the fiasco, it was a teaching moment for Marquette. If we learn from this game, we will be better prepared for the rest of the season, the BET, and-most importantly- the Big Dance.
We all speak of the so-called February Fade. Yet the fade in 2019 was at the very end of February and March was brutal. The 2020 team wasn't nearly as good going into February. Last year, we played .500 in February,
It's a myth. Let's ring out the Hoyas and then beat X! Let's run the table on the Jesuit schools.

I have 0 doubt...they will be just fine.

So just to go on the record, you'll be ok when they finish 4-4 this February and won't view that as a fade?
We are 2-1 in February. We'll be 4-1 in 8 days. It's fine.
How many teams in the top 15 have lost at least one game in the last 1-2 weeks? How many have lost multiple games?
Nothing to see here. On to Gtown.

And one of those teams was Xavier, who got trounced in Omaha by 17. Deep breath in. Hold it for a moment. Exhale slowly.
Well, they probably fly home, go to class/practice and get ready for the next game. This was one game out of a twenty-game league schedule and one that most (sane) fans had marked as a loss for months. Now, most (sane) fans probably have the next two games marked as a win for months and that was I expect to happen.
Go Marquette - we are still in a very god position. Beyond most expectations before this season started. Focus and win the next one.

I am VERY nervous about Xavier and not at all expecting a win after the last few performances

Were you nervous about Xavier after they lost by 100 to Creighton less than 2 weeks ago? How about when they lost at DePaul?
Here are a few more fun scores, all involving the current top 10:
Oklahoma 93, #3 Alabama 69
Utah 81, #4 Arizona 66
Oregon 87, #4 Arizona 68
Florida 67, #6 Tennessee 54
USC 77, #7 UCLA 64
TCU 83, #9 Kansas 60
And so on and so on and so on. It's a long season. Bad losses happen, especially on the road. They happen to the X team you're fearing, too.

Marquette didn't even have the worst margin of defeat for ranked teams last night.
TCU lost by 20+.
It happens all the time. Onto Georgetown. Hopefully OMax, Oso, and Kam are better and I have no reason to believe they won't!
Doesn't sound like a leader that is one bit worried.
None of you should be either.

Yes, absolutely. I think all coaches are worried every game. And more worried after teams reveal their strengths. That's supposed to be the mindset of a coach. Cover all the bases. Leave no stone unturned.

Shaka knows ball. What he is saying in Shaka speak is not substantively different than what most scoopers are saying.

You are 100% right.
Look at the other teams in the Top 10. Most have multiple losses by 10+ points. We have one.
Most of the have lost at least one blowout game. We have lost one.
The sky is not falling. Teams scout and adjust during conference season. My only worry for the 1st weekend of the Tournament is foul trouble. Games will be called a lot tighter than in the BE.

And if he suspects a player is strung out, leave no stoner unturned.
Shane's got to fire up the team; sharpen the knife; so we can annihilate Georgetown and Xavier. When we play with fire, we're untouchable. This team can do that.
