Health. Kam and Chase getting over their ankles. I am not optimistic Stevie's Achilles tendinitis cleared up in that time. Tre's shoulder finally near 100%.
Freshmen defense. 3-4 days of good practice help DO, Royce, and Caedin more comfortable on defense.
Freshmen offense. The same window helps them see how to get to the next action and how using their teammates helps everybody get good shots. Just a little better.
Saw their families, laughed, breathed, felt the love of God and of their families.

Studying. They're student athletes and what they accomplish in the classroom matters more than what they accomplish on the court.
Health and rest. The team was in a little funk but grinded out victories anyway and both health and rest will help kick off the second half the right way. I expect the team to be top ten in Ken Pom defense to finish the season and the three point shooting to improve.
Tower, you covered it well. All I will add is that I hope the improvements in Freshmen offense and defense helps prevent blowing leads like the 13 point one in Dayton and the 15 point one in Cincy. I'm not pinning the lead losses entirely on the frosh, but anything to help prevent repeats please.

God is dead, NIL killed him.
But seriously, hoping everyone got to rest and relax a bit. Maybe some of the guys struggling with shooting confidence can get some shots up and get their mojo back. Tre was looking close and maybe the rest and confidence from his recent run can boost him for the rest of the year.
Focus on getting everyone healthy, will need to be in top form for road game in Providence.
I hope the players enjoyed the break. Spending time with their families. Taking time to relax and heal. Its a long tough season. I hope they are charged up to play their best to win. We will support them no matter what.

Health is correct. I'm looking for a rejuvenation which will lead to MU playing elite basketball from here on out. We have yet to approach a level anywhere near our A game fron my perspective. We've seen glimpses of greatness, it's time to be far more consistent. When Ben and Jop play their B games or better, and Kam is Kam, I will take our squad vs anyone. We should be hungry, focused, and ready to dismantle every team in the BEast. We are without question the best team in our conference. This isn't the same UCONN team and we simple must introduce them to darkness. Period.
What about us scoopers? Break was nice. Take a breath, get a bead on where the BE stands...who will be the competition...etc, etc ... But I am getting antsy for a game. Tuesday can't come soon enough. ;)

We'll see. Since Maui, Uconn has 5-0 with four Q1 wins and one Q2 win. SJU, MU, and UCONN are all between 10 and 17 in Kenpom.
I think we're the best team and we win the conference, but it's not nearly as simple as you're making it.

I never stated it would be easy. My opinion is we're definitely the best in our conf. We have now had three games where we lost our composure down the stretch. I'm hoping we learn from them. But I have watched UCONN, St.J, and the rest of them. I fully believe we're the strongest team and will always have the best player on the floor.

Fair point. But, imagine coming to Scoop since February of 2015 and posting an average of 3.3 times per day, every day, most of which are lame attempts at humor? Granted, there are about 5-10 posters here who find Rico's schtick funny, but it's such low brow humor lacking real wit, intellect, or cleverness - we should expect better from an MU alum. Though I guess it's possible Rico is a graduate of a UW- system school, who happens to be an MU fan?

Just do what I do. Put Rico and Newsdreams on ignore. Those who enjoy his humor can read it, and those of us who find it annoying don't have to be bothered. If Rico ever says anything of value, it usually gets quoted anyway. Thus, you won't miss anything if you're worried about not seeing the 1 in 100 posts in which it happens. You'd be surprised at how much more enjoyable the threads become when you have those two, willie, and a few others on ignore.

As I've said, it was an honor to be banned from Scoop multiple times for railing against you and the Projo Scoopers for 5 years. Some of us saw it right away, others like you (and the 5-10 posters here who find Rico funny) were convinced Wojo was the goods and would bring us to Duke level success. There's a correlation there for sure.
I mean there is a 5 year history here of you being the biggest Wojo fanboy and you want to be the arbiter of who has credibility to "make fun" of someone for their time on Scoop? Not to mention the $1k bet you lost to me when you bet against Tyler Kolek being able to shoot over 35% from 3 as a Junior.
So maybe next time, let Rico speak for himself?

Okay, but lets acknowledge I haven't been banned since Shaka has been the coach. As far as returning after multiple bans during the Wojo era, why would I not participate on a message board that relates to my alma mater and favorite sports team?
History is what it is, and I was on the right side of it. Some feel it was the Paint Touches manifesto on why Wojo needed to be fired that helped tilt Scholl/Lovell into taking action.
Granted it took many die hard Scoopers and fans 5-6 years to come to the conclusion that Wojo was mediocre at best - but you should know that protest is a catalyst toward effecting change. Me railing on Wojo and those of you who defended him was my way of trying to effect change. Because I love Marquette basketball.

That's not quite what happened. Instead you guys sucked the joy of MU wins out of the room even during the two or three years when we were fairly successful. Sucked (and continue to suck) the joy out of the room when we had an all time great scorer and great representative of the school is mentioned. And ultimately gloated when the Hausers crapped the end of 2019 and continued to transfer because it would fast forward what you wanted. Furthermore, when people started to come around you still alienated them as "projos" and "slurpers" for just trying to cheer for their "Alma mater and favorite sports team" and you still continue to do so (often times mislabeling fwiw) despite it being 3.5yrs later as if it gives you some type of superior claim to fandom.
Do you deserve a cookie for getting it right early? Sure, *slow clap* but the constant antagonizing and obsession still made the board unreadable at best and down right unwelcoming by the time that everyone was actually calling for Wojo's job.

Ironically, keeping Wojo for 7 years worked out great for Marquette. Kept him long enough to recruit Oso, Kam, and Stevie.

It's been a recurring complaint on Scoop about Marquette's rebounding under Shaka and lack of true post players.
Kind of like the lack of midrange offense is a constant complaint.
Despite all the evidence pointing to how Shaka's staffs prioritize neither. Maybe that's what changed these 10 days
I can honestly never been on the golf course (or anywhere for that matter) and discussed the potential of any scooper's takes.
Thankfully.

Lack of a midrange offense is not a constant complaint. When brought up (occasionally) other posters have pointed out (correctly) that our offense (and a lot of others) is predicated on open 3s and dunks/lay ups. End of discussion - except for posters who regularly bring up dumb posters asking for a midrange game out of thin air. That's the constant complaint.

They get cranky when there is a game. Apparently, a spontaneous end of year spleen venting was in order.

Festivus is upon us

Well, then that's another grievance--festivus not lasting the whole 10 days off for Marquette

Ditto for me.
I even considered heading to Providence but the game tipoff time scratched that.
I'll bet these fans scheduled dinner around game time. So disappointing.

Health. Kam and Chase getting over their ankles. I am not optimistic Stevie's Achilles tendinitis cleared up in that time. Tre's shoulder finally near 100%.
Freshmen defense. 3-4 days of good practice help DO, Royce, and Caedin more comfortable on defense.
Freshmen offense. The same window helps them see how to get to the next action and how using their teammates helps everybody get good shots. Just a little better.
Saw their families, laughed, breathed, felt the love of God and of their families.
There were possessions where the bench, and therefore freshmen, defense was almost up to the level of the starters. And they actually ran the offense. So, time well spent.

Talking to yourself again. Thoughts and prayers, hope your provider doesn't disallow treatment.
Quote from: Lennys Tap on December 30, 2024, 12:39:51 PMListing 10 or more low level college games that nobody cares about - every day?
Constant head scratching random references to evangelical Christians?
Rating most of rocket's posts?
Talking aircraft carriers, midrange games, etc. ad infinitum, ad nauseum?
Random stupid things that will effect Marquette's seeding, season, etc.?
This stuff makes you laugh? Really??
I loved David Letterman. He was funny and original. Mocking stuff that is predictable, repetitive and boring can be funny as a one off. Maybe even take a few bites at the apple. But when you become more ubiquitous and more predictable than what you're mocking you're just..boring.
Sad to see. Kid had potential when he signed his Scoop LOI.
Quote from: Elonsmusk on December 30, 2024, 01:55:10 PMOkay, but lets acknowledge I haven't been banned since Shaka has been the coach. As far as returning after multiple bans during the Wojo era, why would I not participate on a message board that relates to my alma mater and favorite sports team?
History is what it is, and I was on the right side of it. Some feel it was the Paint Touches manifesto on why Wojo needed to be fired that helped tilt Scholl/Lovell into taking action.
Granted it took many die hard Scoopers and fans 5-6 years to come to the conclusion that Wojo was mediocre at best - but you should know that protest is a catalyst toward effecting change. Me railing on Wojo and those of you who defended him was my way of trying to effect change. Because I love Marquette basketball.
Basically, you see yourself as scoop's Dark Knight.

What do you mean he sees himself that way? He IS the Dark Knight. He sacrificed his time on Scoop so MUBB could get away from Wojo. Thank you, Ners.
Just like he's often reminded of himself when he thinks of Derrick Wilson dunking on 6'9" Paul White. Because there were a ton of 6'9", top 50 recruits that Ners was dunking on in the Northwoods when he was balling out in high school.
