As Marquette got off the bus for the UCLA game just now, Bill Walton said Shaka Smart was a force of nature and our All-American Tyler Kolek was a combination of Nikola Jokić and Steve Nash. I will take that! He then added that Jokic is the best player in the world. https://theathletic.com/5001990/2023/10/30/college-basketball-all-americans-zach-edey-tyler-kolek-hunter-dickinson/ go Marquette Men's Basketball

Lol.
He also called Shaka, Shaka Kahn.....and was serious.
Bong hits during commercials.
If we win, this is the last game we get from him. I don't mind Bill, but I'm gonna hate it tonight with UCLA being the opponent.
Bill is terrible and he's gotten worse.
But he still does more homework than Gus Johnson.

He seemed pretty subdued in the first half. Wasn't sure if he's sick or just running out of gas.
The only saving grace for Bill is that he still can't call us anything other than Warriors.
Had to turn the volume way down. He was hurting our ears.
I hope doing so didn't make us miss another riveting story about Sidney Wicks and Dave Meyers while the present-day MU and UCLA players - guys actually born since Vietnam - were dunking and getting steals.

The players *parents* have been born since Vietnam.
Every player they lost the past 3 seasons were UCLA Legends
Bill and 1970s recreational pharmaceuticals seem to have too close a relationship.
That or he's too west coast, period!
If I heard "Conference of Champions" one more time, I was going to throw up.
Best line of the night was when Shaka asked his team, "How many of you were recruited by UCLA?" None raised their hands! The "chip" is back!
I think it is pretty disrespectful to college basketball that ESPN thinks they need to trot him out for high profile games like that.

I'm sure that Oregon State and Washington State appreciate that. I hope they own that.
