I was thinking about driving in and back for the game, but the roads stink on this side of the lake. Alas.
I hope the week off has been used constructively. Healing and improving. Would like to see the bench be productive.
Here's hoping the bench gets a TON of run.
3x they've shot > 50% 3fg and averaged 15 3PM in those games. That's their path to victory — and I am ON EDGE.
Cleaning my bong and getting it ready for heavy use

Is it fair to say it's same old DePaul? It looks like they racked up some early wins on a weak schedule and have really struggled in Big East play.
Granted same old DePaul means still a tough game at Wintrust for us.

Weird sh*t happens down there. As JB noted, their three point shooting is a wildcard, but I really think it only becomes an issue if MU can't shoot. I don't think they can stop MU enough, or take care of the ball well enough, to win without major outliers from three.

MU's defense should theoretically be too good to overcome and their offense good enough to score mid 70s or higher. DePaul has as much chance of beating MU as they would against Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan State, Michigan, Gonzaga, etc.. It would be a significant failure to lose this game but I suppose tonight could be the 1 out of 10 that they do. I don't think people would be saying they would have a chance against any of the other teams I named however.
At least it has to go better than the Vikings' game.
??? I thought the Vikings game went great.
-12.5
Let's cover
Wish I could have made it there. Jop is my pick for SOTG. Something about that gym for him.
I just sinned, hopefully Jolp and Ross make $$$
I saw the game thread and I don't normally participate. But since it's six hours before tipoff and I have a few minutes, I thought, why not?
That was a terrible call. These refs suck!

It's a shame he got fired before implementing Bluey. He needed to recruit some dawgs for that style.
For anyone in the Chicago area who's interested in attending tonight's game but doesn't have tickets yet, I'm giving away 2 of mine for free. Just wanted to mention it on here since it's last-minute. More details on the Trading Post.

Sooo wasted, too many bongs. When does the game start? Hopefully I'm still awake.

This can definitely be a get right Kam game at the rim
But we are gonna have to actually play D as well
Ok, toilet time. Take over newsy

Never. Let. Up. Let's keep it going. Marquette!
After Ross missed his shot you could just see on his face, he was getting the ball back on defense. It's so awesome we have players who can actually do it and not just foul from being too aggressive

Alright Jop, lets make free throws
MU should bring the Yellow Chicken to this game!
I can't believe I'm saying this but DePaul isn't playing that poorly. They can drive pretty well and have made some tough shots at the rim
First 5min, stats look good, score looks good. Jop 1-3 from line, buts that's it.
Kam and Stevie out
We got Tre and Parham forcing offense
Bench getting cooked again. 11 pt lead down to 5
None of these are fouls?
GET TRE OUT
Not a good line up right now
Sorry Ben. No SOTG when we lose.
How did Tre not get 2 FTs there? Perfect jump stop and pump fake and the Depaul defender jumped on top of him lol.

Sorry referring to Ben's second 3. Perfect arc
While last game was great for Chase, especially until he consistently becomes a scorer
You cannot have a lineup of Norman, Lowery and Parham all in there together with Kam, Stevie and Jop all on the bench
Thats blowtorch your lead 101
I've never heard a coach tell his players to throw it out of bounds

And that is what happened

11 pt lead is 1 because we had to sub guys

We simply have to play the starters.

Far-sighted perception that leaves Scoopers agog, Dung Willie
I thought Caedin and Tre each should've gotten a pair of free throws. Refs not calling anything on the Blue Demons.
Freshman have hit a wall
Young guys still struggling. Lowery is the most reliable, IMO. He plays D and lets the upperclassmen shoot.
Owens has been a bit disappointing lately. Thought he'd be a bit more settled in at this point in the year but he's still got happy feet out there. Raw and out of control
Kappas has said "zone" 12 times. I think he can get to 40.
Shaka wont do it. But Caedin and Owens should be done playing
Stevie non existent so far.
Quote from: CountryRoads on January 14, 2025, 06:29:09 PMShaka is treating this like a scrimmage.
The only way your bench players get experience! Better 1st half vs DePaul!
Trust Shaka!
Kappas makes my ears bleed
Kam also has got to stop with the rushed shots in the paint. That was absurd.
Tie game
Team once again not taking it serious
Gooollldbrick getting torched on that play by the little guy
D cant stop DePaul and now Kam is back into wild 2 pt shot mode to try and counter.
What is Kam doing? He's either thinking too much or not enough
Missing a lot of shots we normally can get. Things will come around

Change defense Shaka!
WTF Stevie, then Kam for being lazy getting the loose ball?
Lazy play by Kam. Really poor D.
Stevie now throwing lazy lobs at the rim and getting swatted
Just zero drive on this team right now
Kam playing doofus ball right now
This team needs to learn how to play for 40 minutes.
PLAY FU CKING DEFENSE
We are getting absolutely torched by Fu CKING Depaul
Gold with a beautiful drive for a wide open layup only to throw a pass for no apparent reason. Ugh

This is unbelievable. No one stepping up for last 8 minutes. Need Kam to be Kam let's Go Marquette!
it's always difficult to accept they could actually lose to DePaul. Won't panic till like 6 min left in the game
I thought this would be a relaxing game but yet another terrible half by this team and the only complete game we've played in conference is providence
Really bad defense by MU. I like Shaka getting the young guys in, but he needs a quicker hook. MU is completely out of sync since he went to the bench. MU tried to mail it in tonight.
DePaul is 14/22 shooting
Mind numbingly pathetic defense.
Shaka needs a to to pull some heads out of asses. Gooollldbrick with a lazy pass.
That 13 point spread is big time money if you took DePaul.

He's got 6 assists. But every game he's letting teams runs get him to force shots in the paint. Its been brutal.
Finally get a couple stops
Use the entire clock dribbling and result in a Jop shot that 9 feet wide.
Go back to sh it D.
Then a Gold airball
Just pathetic basketball. Every guy should be embarrassed.
I swear Gunn just baseball throws the ball at the hoop and it goes in

First half we are playing like atop 50 team. Need to tighten up everything. Shot selection is horrendous. Defense... jeez driving on us like we gphave no defenders. Lots to clean up at half time
Air Goooollldbrick
Air brick by Jolp
We are very lucky to have played poor treams right now. Team hasn't been playing well for a while yet still keeps pulling out wins, not gonna last. Pathetic defensive performance
Bad half of ball
That was the bad half
This is also on Shaka
You cant literally only play 5 guys, of course. But the super subbing when we are rolling early is an insane thing he does and its an every year thing.
I remember at SHU last year we started hot and he subbed and the wheels instantly fell off.
Throwing your 3 leading scorers all on the bench when off to an early 11 pt lead in like 5 min is insane.
We will be fine, folks. Breathe.
Need to come out on fire. And turn those guys over constantly. Defense has been very iffy. Scoring inside in us like nothing.
Quote from: MUEng92 on January 14, 2025, 06:48:30 PMThat was the bad half

He kinda has to when Kam and Chase pick up stupid fouls early. They have a tendency to pick up a stupid one each in the 1st half.
Stevie is going to have to be better, he was almost a zero that half.

As a fan, it's super frustrating since I think we could be up double digits now with a tighter rotation. Though, long term these guys need the minutes when they can get them. It may burn us in a game, but it's important the young guys don't get too down on themselves.
Quote from: Viper on January 14, 2025, 06:52:55 PMyou can't criticize Shaka, hey. Against Scoop rules.
Love Shaka, but thats an insane thing he does
I'm ok with him rotating guys in vs cupcakes and maybe sacrificing metrics a bit. But you have to actually win the games first
Kam has 8 assists. If he makes his layups he'd be looking at a 25 point double double.
That's where they miss Sean. Tre isn't a PG. They're rudderless with the bench unit.

Yeah I'd rather just foot on the gas them and get up big(a la prov) then its time for trial and error
5 minutes in when things are rolling? Crazy.
We just had a week off. Sorber played an entire 1st half vs us.
These kids can run. Zero reason to sub when what's currently happening is working flawless
Need to move the ball for the best shot and play our defense. Then we can win this one. Let's Go Marquette!
It's f'ing Depaul, get your head out of your ass and play some f'ing defense.

what is Tre. Not a PG, but not a 2 or 3 either, it seems.
Well, if he's gonna get flack for his subs
I will say Shaka over the last few years is excellent at drawing up out of the half scoring possessions.
DePaul makes one pass to beat the zone
What is Stevie doing??
He's handed them 4 pts with lazy layups. Kam still cant hit sh it from deep
Just brutal
DePaul's PG looks like an extra in a Cheech and Chong movie
Kam's shot looks completely awful
Kams 3 pt shot is a legit liability. like 10 games of putrid.
Great plan
Have a rare elite shooting half. Still trail by 1
Come out in the 2nd half and just launch bricks
Brick city just terrible. Shaka really needs to start recruiting better shooters
Kam forgot how to shoot
Did Lappas just say DePaul has played 10 possessions of zone all year? That's completely embarrassing for MU.
We didn't come out of halftime hot like we have in other games we have trailed.
This is gonna be a tough one to win. Maybe Stevie will wake up over there while watching from the bench.
Make a shot, embarrassing
Getting man handled on the boards

If that is true then yea, real bad. Shaka and this team have no answers against the zone besides launch 3s and they just all seem to be streaky shooters at best
Eff Enright
Quote from: Johnny B on January 14, 2025, 07:11:44 PMAnd of course the second they play it it looks like prime boheim Syracuse out there wtf
And apparently they have the 2nd coming of Patrick Ewing defending the hoop to block anyone who actually drives to the hoop
Bens made some 3s which is nice
His bball IQ on anything he doesn't shoot is about 0 today.
Stevie?
Have a good first half shooting. You know brick city is coming. This team is incapable of even one great shooting game
Hence the zone.
Chase coulda had a early back breaker(he's usually clutch tho) and of course Jop immediately after forces a clank.
Chance to take a lead...chuck a 3...repeat.
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on January 14, 2025, 07:19:41 PMChance to take a lead...chuck a 3...repeat.
He's gotta take that. Kam drove and dished to the corner
Jops 3 the next possession? Nope.
Joplin and Norman with just brutal turnovers.
Unreal crap from Norman. Worst bench of the Shaka era by far, can't count on any of them, not one
Norman flat out sucks
There is no way to sugar coat it. The kid gets the privilege to play D1 basketball on a top 10 team we can also call it how it is
He is BAD. And the optimism he's ever not bad continues to get lower and lower
Scary that DePaul is speeding MU up
This team is different than past years. They'll find a way. They always find a way.
Oh sorry, I thought I was just saying that in my head
Norman doesn't belong out there with this competition
Get the lead.
Immediately let Gunn torch us on a open shot again. Norman does what he does as a net negative. Let them score again
Back down 2 in like 20 seconds. Momentum gone
Quote from: warriors141 on January 14, 2025, 07:22:22 PMUnreal crap from Norman. Worst bench of the Shaka era by far, can't count on any of them, not one
At least the culture hasn't been tarnished by a transfer..
Jop regression game from the line
Nice.
They are just incapable of pulling their heads out of their ass
I swear Jop has been the worst FT shooter on the team since the announcer a game or two ago pointed out he was shooting 90%
Jop bricks two more free throws. Gunn drills another. Kam bricks yet another 3.
7-0 run.
Stevie dumb foul
This entire team is broken. This is a disaster
wtf is wrong with jones shot???!!!
Quote from: Johnny B on January 14, 2025, 07:24:10 PMAt least the culture hasn't been tarnished by a transfer..
hey buddy, that's too cynical for Scoop!!
Joplin,Steve,and Kam having bad nights
Stevie looks like he is sick
Kam has yet to be stopped to the rim...he's missed a few, but he hasn't been stopped.
Another missed free throw
Just no toughness
Free throws. For the love of all things holy, free throws
That didn't just happen
Was that son of Cheech with that 3?
And then they make that after we bricked another
Scoop, I'm scared. Someone hold me.
He could take 17 more of those and not make another
DePaul pulling some absurd shots out of their asses
We let DePaul have the belief and they are taking advantage. Tbh seems like guys thought we would stroll to victory
Hate DePaul games. All risk no reward. Win means little a loss is a disaster

It great camera work to get all of the DePaul student fans in one shot like that
Traditional egg lay at DePaul every few years.
Remember last year when our offense was fun to watch?
Quote from: Viper on January 14, 2025, 07:34:41 PMbut, but...we're losing
Down 3 so obviously we have to launch a 3.
Kam another brick from 3
Lets just keep launching bricks guys
Every few years we play a pro bono game at DeP. Buzz. Wojo. Shaka. Must be in the contract.
The inability of MU bigs to score on the block really hurts against the zone. No need to defend the paint against the post-up.
Try to get momentum with a score
Get torched on D
Brutal game for Stevie
Someone for DePaul has offered their eternal soul in return for these shots to fall like this
Chance to take a lead...launch a 3...repeat.
Kam cannot Fu cking shoot
This is insane.
When is the last time Kam has hit a big 3?
Oh my... I can not take the "and the player of the year candidate!" As Kam is shooting. My God enough with that already.

Well he was at one point, playing way right out of it
Jesus Kam, have to make that in middle of zone
How do we still have no idea how to attack a zone?
36 minutes into the game MU figures out how to beat the zone
It's the unis.
Burn them.
I'm guessing we shoot a 3 here.
They have held them to 18 points thus far in the 2nd half,offense has just been terrible
Finally Kam in the middle of the zone just above free throw line. The pivot. NOW KEEP DOING THIS
Lol Kam drives and cant shoot. Then gives it to Chase and he just wildly throws it up
This team is a mess
There is no other way around it
Kam completely broken right now. Good coaches figure out a way to fix this
I forgot we're not allowed to shoot open mid range Js
Jop another wild miss
They answer every time.
That's just terrible on our part
Another Kam brick from 3
Absolutely pathetic this team
A lot of questionable shot selections this evening.
Team has not been playing well despite record, perhaps our luck has run out
Tip the cap.. DePaul hitting prayer after prayer and our star is 0-9 from 3. Goodbye top ten. This team is seriously flawed. No bench no inside play.
Garbage.

Even with the prayers. DePaul has 63 pts
We looked at them scoring 40 at half and told ourselves we had to launch all 2nd half. Just pathetic for such a veteran team
Horrible illegal screen
lol this team being a final 4 contender.
Lappas says "no surprise there." I'll be honest... I was a little surprised.
Wow.
Stevie the GOAT!
wtf is going on
No GT
Huge shot by Ross then lost focus on d ugh
TBH I was expecting them to drill a 3 so not mad
But also idk how you give him such an easy lane
Absolutely not goaltending
Wow
I honestly think that is clean but don't see them reversing it
That's a block.
Absolutely clean block.
I don't think it was goaltending but I don't think they are reversing either
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on January 14, 2025, 08:01:10 PMI honestly think that is clean but don't see them reversing it
Live I thought goal tend. Review it's a block.
What happens if they reverse it? Poss arrow to DePaul and they drill a 3?
Wow
Absolute bull.
Total BS
The ball clearly changes direction TOWARD the backboard first. Obviously a blocked shot. Absolute bullshit refs.
Crooked mother fuckers
Bull sh*t.
There's no way that was a goaltend.
What the f*ck was the inbound play???
Wtf was that
Pretty clearly not a goal tend but whatever
Should be a protest with league office. Total BS. Refs just choosing to ignore what happened.

Is that a thing? Can you actually "protest" something?
I can't take anymore DePaul circus shots. Fuuuu
Quote from: The Sultan on January 14, 2025, 08:05:24 PMIs that a thing? Can you actually "protest" something?
I doubt it, but if there ever was a time for it, a botched review with 3 seconds left would be it. At least get these refs disciplined.
Quote from: The Sultan on January 14, 2025, 08:05:24 PMIs that a thing? Can you actually "protest" something?
In baseball you can
Not that it ever works
Redemption for DePaul PG.
Would think the Number 7 team in the nation, would get the benefit of the doubt on some calls. But we don't. If we are UCONN that 100% is reversed.

lol. No they wouldn't. They're not employees.
Absolutely clear it was NOT a goaltend. Wow. The officials just did not want to reverse their call. Terrible. Let's win this one

🙄🙄🙄
So clearly not a goaltend live and in review. What about the 2 goaltends by DePaul early in the second half?
Quote from: The Sultan on January 14, 2025, 08:05:24 PMIs that a thing? Can you actually "protest" something?
Of course. You can protest anything. You can even have a protest about not protesting anymore.
"We're not gonna protest...we're not gonna protest."
Quote from: The Sultan on January 14, 2025, 08:06:54 PMlol. No they wouldn't. They're not employees.
you're back?
Joplin playing big.
Jop!
We're getting Wintrust Jop now
You just knew Jop was gonna force that one
And Stevie with another terrible foul. What the hell man
There is a good stevie!
Incredible pass by Chase
That officiating is brutal to end regulation. Embarrassing job by the so-called refs.
Glad Chase didn't miss the one at the end of regulation that badly.
Stevie makes more "right place right time" plays than anyone I have ever seen.
I haven't read the chat. But go jop!
Defense this win home!! Going to need to make free throws!!
When is the last time a bench player was in?
F uck you number 4 yuh hillbilly!!
Quote from: ATL MU Warrior on January 14, 2025, 08:13:47 PMWhen is the last time a bench player was in?
A long time ago, and for good reason.
Kam doesn't look confident handling the ball under pressure.
I'd like to thank the team that at the very least through all the bs and pathetic of this game
They didn't make us sweat OT
At least we won...team has not been playing well but still racking up victories. Guess you could take that as a good thing or a bad thing
DePaul finally has a decent coach, hopefully they win a few
Hit the FTs please
Ross's shot got lost in the fray especially with the goaltend screw job, but damn that was cold.
Lotta ballgame left
This kid is on fire
Play Defense for 25 seconds
Ffs this game can't end
What the actual f uck?
Man, f#ck this Rivera guy.
DePaul shooting like 90% on prayer 3 pointers and 10% on good shots.
The goofy looking cartoon character just keeps drilling prayers
We give up a ton of looks on inbounds
Need to guard that dude. 3 threes in OT
I'm not a fan of the inbounds play where no one moves for 3.5 seconds
Seriously guys.

Jinx
Lappas doesn't know where he is
I hate Rivera.
This is insane
What the unnatural carnal knowledge am I watching????
Lmao. Classic Kam at the line
Off MU
I'm sure THIS bad call they'll correct
From that angle if you called it for MU live. Then you can't over turn it.
When it was close at the end of regulation, they stayed with the live call when it was close. It would be inconsistent to switch their call here.
If this gets overturned after not overturning the goaltend...
This has been something.
Kam just completely awful decision on that turnover. You have the possession arrow. No need to throw it.
If they reverse this after not reversing the goaltend I don't know what to say.
They probably will, but there is no way they should overturn the call on the floor if they didn't overturn the goaltend
Quote from: MUEng92 on January 14, 2025, 08:28:08 PMI'm sure THIS bad call they'll correct
I think it was the right call. From the angles they show, the ball rotation doesn't change.
It's insane DePaul got back into the game. Dudes hits 3 straight circus 3s
!
Quote from: forgetful on January 14, 2025, 08:29:54 PMI think it was the right call. From the angles they show, the ball rotation doesn't change.
Yeah it does
The goaltend was far more obviously wrong. I'm genuinely not sure whether that ball hit Gold's foot. The goaltend was obviously a block.
I see nothing showing me that hit Gold.
Quote from: MUEng92 on January 14, 2025, 08:30:12 PM!Yeah it does
I should clarify, the ball didn't change rotation compared to the expected rotation change from it hitting the floor.
Throwing the ball down towards DePaul's basket. Man, I hate to say it but we were really poorly coached today. There were about a dozen bone headed plays today.
Can't wait for Rivera to nail an 80 footer.
We won, but we sucked.
I'm exhausted. lol

Excuse me sir, can you define "ugly win" for me?
Never a doubt. Throw the black uniforms in the dumpster that is Soldier Field.

Rivera is balhki from perfect strangers. What a weird team. I dislike them.
It might be time to raise the question again about whether anyone is concerned about lack of depth.
Quote from: wisblue on January 14, 2025, 08:42:42 PMIt might be time to raise the question again about whether anyone is concerned about lack of depth.
It's a major concern. The team can win some tourney games, but it's not good enough - in my estimation - to go the distance. You've got to love the resolve of this bunch, but that only gets you so far. If Kam keeps shooting like Russell Westbrook from three point range, it will definitely be an uphill battle in March.
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on January 14, 2025, 08:23:52 PMMan, f#ck this Rivera guy.
He turned into Markus Howard 2.0 - crazy degree of difficulty shots. But he's up to 46% from 3 from the year, and clearly a great shooter.

crap I knew it, did brick have his head up his rectum?
Its funny, the only replay angle that clearly showed the ball not hitting Gold's foot, was not replayed ad nauseum.
There was a clip of a higher up angle, coming from the "upper left" of the court facing the players that showed the ball clearly miss his foot.
Quote from: Newsdreams on January 14, 2025, 09:15:24 PMcrap I knew it, did brick have his head up his rectum?
Yes
Chase and Ben played fine. Those are Shaka recruits. But the rest of his guys need to step up - in increments but step up. It's going slowly
Just came up from the basement. My wife said "at one point there was a lot of swearing and then you were happy, I thought you had Tourette's"
Marquette Win Piece of Cake

That would have been okay, but somewhat embarrassing. What would a court storming of a hundred people even look like?
