the amount of halfwitted dipsh*ts in the comments tonight. So many f*cking idiots.
A horrible shooting performance at the worst time but proud of our team and staff and I know they’re hurting much more than any of us.
Excited for the future of this program as much as tonight sucks.
-
Yea, lots of emotions when seeing the team play bad.
But thank you Shaka and Team for a great season overall.

Well said VBMG. That was just horrendous and depressing to witness. But MU will be back.
-
embarrassed by the teams performance? NO
extremely disappointed and bummed out? Yes
-
It hurts, but there's no excuse for the way I acted on this board today.
This was the best chance at making a run in a dozen years, and everyone but Tyler looked shellshocked til it was too late. Next year looks bleak for playmakers and ball handling relative to this year. Going to be hard to reinvent ourselves into a better version of this squad.
But there's no excuse for the way I acted and I'm sorry.

Jeez, after putting a lot of time and energy following this promising team the past two years, and having it end with a bad performance/loss to a lesser team two years in a row, how could you not expect people to vent?

It's okay. We're all a little pissed right now. I'm more depressed than angry , and it will take time, but I 100% believe in Shaka and the MU program.

You deserve a lot of credit for acknowledging that.

It is hard to say sorry. Emotion brings out the worst in us sometimes.
Saying sorry reveals more about character than does complaining during the moment.
Kudos to you. Marquette is in a good place as disappointing as tonight was….

There’s a difference between venting and abject stupidity.

Actually seems pretty calm.
I typed up and almost started a thread about how this was a “pathetic performance, worst of the season” and that a squad with the experience and ability of this years team should be able to adjust to a crap shooting night but I deleted it.
The defensive effort was excellent, but tonight was bad in so many ways.
Better to just let it go and appreciate the picture as a whole

We missed shots. A lot of them, most of them really good ones.
That’s fair to criticize. But man, if you missed all of the other sh*t…

We’ve got plenty of that Muggsy.
Now that 2024 is in the books, let’s put to bet which season was more enjoyable.
2023>>>2024
As I’ve always said, gimme that regular season and conference tournament ship, those will last forever.
This season will be viewed as a let down, for good or bad.
This team had more in it, but we will never know.

This season Last year was amazing but we tied for 2nd in the conference, played in the BET final, and had a great chance to go to the Elite 8 and beyond.
Give me that any day.
-
I think, in hindsight, I would have accepted a loss to Nova at MSG to save them from going through two more rugby matches.
Stevie and Oso gutted through it, but there's no doubt in my mind those dudes were banged up.

Completely disagree.
Last season will go down as one of the elites in MU hx.
This season will go down as letdown, despite a Sweet 16

I’ve seen a lot of quality posters participating in and reading game threads.
Says a lot about you that you were somehow bothered by a post that didn’t mention anyone personally and was positive about the team, it’s effort, and the program’s future.

We all love MU Basketball and The Kids on the team. Program has a solid future.
That said , I am in the camp that says we lost because the Other Team was better. They had Better Players and a Better game plan . Simple as that . Doesn't diminish my enthusiasm for our program at all.
Looking forward to next season and more improvement from our team . I think Caedin is going to surprise people to the upside.

The other team was better tonight, primarily because we couldn’t make a shot.
An entire season told us they did not have better players. They were not the better team.
That’s what makes the tourney amazing and heartbreaking.

I don't think anyone believes NCST is a better team. MU was historically bad shooting. MU took good shots. By your logic Oakland is better than MU. ::)

Sweet 16 loss. Bitterness ensues.

Your college basketball thoughts are some of the worst on this board. Goes well with your NFL thoughts

better players? No, imo. But a better game plan, better coached on this one night…which unfortunately is all it took. Play NC State in a best of 7. MU wins 4-1. I’m a little uptight about our front court for next season…Gold, Jop and…? what are you aware of with regard to Caedin?
-
Feel bad for any fans who traveled to Dallas, forked over good money for the trip and tickets, and had to endure being in person to watch that embarrassment last night.

There is no game plan to correct 3 for 31 shooting. It allowed NC State to crowd the middle and take away drives to the basket.

The team fought their tails off the whole game. I thought maybe they tried too hard when shots weren't falling.
I'm just as proud to be an MU fan now as I was before the game. Shots just didn't fall.
-

That's fair. But I also think it is fair for some people to say the performance was embarrassing, I would never say the effort was embarrassing. I would not find it unusual if the players said they were embarrassed by shooting 12% from 3. I think they have high expectation for themselves.
-
Had they totally quit and got beat by 20 I could see embarrassment. But they fought like hell and just couldn't get anything to drop.
-
Not embarrassed at all. Wrong time to have a bad shooting game. 56-17 over the last two seasons. A Big East regular season title. A Big East tourney title. A sweet 16.
What exactly is embarrassing? Losing in an upset? It happens every season in the tournament.
-

I think people are splitting hairs or have different definitions of embarrassing. For example, if you are an 8 handicap and card a 98, it wouldn't be unusual to say you were embarrassed by your play. It is not a reflection on your effort or your personality.
-
As a then 6 handicap who dropped a 104 on the second day of a golf trip 20 years ago and heard about it all night....meh. I took the abuse and moved on.
-
Shooting was not just bad last night, but historically bad. One of the worst ever in this tournament. Against an 11 seed.

The difference is that would be your own play. Not embarrassed because of what a group of 18-22 y/o kids did on a basketball court. That's where I have some issue with it.

This. I saw a few people try to compare last night to the Wojo years which is dumb for a number of reasons, but this is the top reason.

I think you are looking too far into people's intent when calling it an embarrassing performance. JMO.
Personally. I was not embarrassed for them. Just disappointed. It is only a basketball game and life goes on. Plus, I'm fired up to have Shaka. Love the person, style of play and 98% of the results.
BTW, not "kids". Young men. I'd bet they would not appreciate being called "kids".

Off topic, but the bolded depends on how it is used. I call college age students "kids" all the time, in a courteous, you aren't expected to know everything yet. They usually appreciate that.
Many treat college athletes as professionals (yes I know they are paid now), and put expectations on them equivalent to seasoned veterans and adults, but they are still learning who they are as people. In that regard sometimes they like to be reminded that they are still "kids" and growing as individuals, and allowed to make mistakes and learn from them.
So it really is on how the phrase is used, Kids as condescending...offensive. Kids as a reminder that they are still growing as individuals on a day when their dreams were crushed, courteous.
-
Yeah there was no condescension intended.

That's cool. Understood. I get the inclination to use "kids". Speaking from personal experience, I've had college students correct me on that.

Getting man handled by an 11 seed is kind of embarrassing. Shooting your worst game of the season is kind of embarrassing.. the team looking scared and tossing grade school turnovers like they haven’t all year is kind of embarrassing. No confidence at all. I’m curious what you feel is embarrassing. 60 point loss?

Well summed up.
The answer to your question is some here are so lacking in objectivity, there is no bottom that would be labeled embarrassing. A shut out loss would be praised as the team fighting to the end.

…I’m all for shoot to get hot…but getting hot wasn’t happening. There has to be an adjustment…at the first tv timeout of the 2nd half there needed to be a change in the O, imo. Didn’t happen. Hindsight 20/20 Shaka was willing to roll the dice on the 3-ball.
-
This was the most satisfying thread ever. Finally people stepping up and calling out this little condescending prick VBMG who thinks it’s ok to personally attack and ridicule everyone but some how thinks he’s a beacon of virtue because when he’s emotionally hurt by a poor performance he lashes out at other people rather than the team. Bravo to all of you who see who this little child is.

Rocky, PointWarrior had a nice little shot. No doubt others realize who this clown is and just choose not to say anything. Rocky summarized everything perfectly though. Absolute dead on descriptions of this emotionally stunted little boy.

If rocky is your support team, enough said. As for Point, he plays both sides, depending on how MU is playing. While I like Point, not exactly sure you have the Mt. Rushmore of scoop in your camp.

Something that brings shame to MU. Losing a sweet 16 game does not reach that level.
