Here's hoping both teams play hard and have fun. It's also important both teams play for the name on the front of the jersey and not the back. Sports isn't about winning and losing, it's about teamwork and being the best you.

Coaching. Shaka heard the kids are shook with big NMD games so wanted people to stay home. Let's hope it works.
So Peacock is just assuming there will be no DePaul fans watching? It's like an MU broadcast
Oh no.
Gonna see aggressive Kam tonight which will bode well for MU.

Get Ben involved. And move the rock.
Swee6 Jesus Ben.

Not a good stretch with that line-up.
is Marquette the worst shooting team from 2 feet and closer? good lord...
No fouls in 11:00 has to be a record
We are not playing well yet. Lousy on both ends. We will do so much better starting now. Let's Goo Marquette!
Look terrible yet again
New gameplan: Defer on any wide open 3-pointers.
WTF
This is great, no fouls. Driscoll should be forced to watch this.
Why has Norman played 8 minutes and Kam 6 and Stevie 3. That is just inexcusable. Find a way to stop the game and get your starters back in.
Totally going through the motions. This isn't a scrimmage. 0.0 focus, tenacity, or discipline. The mindset needs to be to bury this piss poor opponent.
WTF was that???
Ben is altering so many shots.
Good kick from Caedin there. DO just bricked it.
My feed is so bad I have no idea what is going on. Freezing about every 5 seconds
Caedin with both of MU's cross court passes this season in the last 2 possessions. (Possible overstatement)
Great pass Caedin
Good mins from Caedin.

I think we look a lot better but that could be level of opponent. We should have about 10-15 more points if we could shoot or finish at all. Defense has been good since about the 15 minute mark.
2 of 12 on 3s. Ugh.

This is the late Wojo years. Team has completely flat lined

I truly don't know why any team even guards him behind the line.

Part of it is because there were no stops for about five minutes while Kam was at the scorers table.
That first half was like a continuous 50 minute mini barf
That was the worst end of a half in MU history. Total fools
Whew..... rough first half That last play was playground stuff. Whew
A new candidate for dumbest f'ing play of the season
That epitomizes the issues with our team right now. Totally inexcusable .
This team is flat out embarrassing.
Find new ways every possession
Lazy ass Chase
Quote from: wisblue on February 11, 2025, 08:17:00 PMPart of it is because there were no stops for about five minutes while Kam was at the scorers table.
Could have given a foul at any time to get them in. They weren't close to the bonus.
eptiome play of sleep fuucking walking
I should have bet my savings on DePaul with this crazy line
I blame Shaka for that last basket. 3 timeouts with the ball on the sideline with 3.2 seconds and you don't draw something up? Why?
New low achieved. This is bad basketball.
This has turned into the Markus Howard teams/era. Everything goes through Kam. No offensive sets
So obvious that was going to happen.
A crap end to another crap half.
If De Paul starts hitting threes like they're capable MU is reallly in trouble.
Stevie hasn't been Stevie for a while. Everybody looks timid.
Deep breaths.

We're getting mostly good looks. The defensive intensity shows up most days. But they aren't shooting with confidence.
And you see a lot of uncertainty offensively from just about everyone other Royce.

Agree a timeout then would be dumb. Of course, Shaka was probably like me and assumed Chase wouldn't pass it to the only DePaul player who could get the shot off, rather than a teammate
Quote from: MUEng92 on February 11, 2025, 08:23:20 PMAgree a timeout then would be dumb. Of course, Shaka was probably like me and assumed Chase wouldn't pass it to the only DePaul player who could get the shot off, rather than a teammate
Right. No doubt. But that's not n Shaka.
So much rotation of players and lineups hard to get any consistency. Part of the problem I think.
Pretty lazy play by Kam and Chase at the end of the half. A real lack of focus. The struggles continue. Outside of the opening dunk, Ross has been fairly invisible. They need more scoring from him. Norman and Jop's three misses were so bad it was a little shocking. Probably need to shorten the bench a bit, even though Hamilton made the best pass against the zone. Would have helped my blood pressure if they played 40 solid minutes. Maybe we'll get 20.
Can't sleepwalk into a game coming off three losses. Should have been ready to blow the doors off...which suggests we just aren't very good right now as Paint Touches illustrated today.
A 50 point half would be nice right now, though I guess we should just be looking for the W.
I'm expecting this team to come out and play with max intensity in 2nd half. They cannot be happy with that half. Doesn't mean we'll be able to make a shot, but the defensive intensity had better be the highest of the year. If not, then this team is finished.

3 for 15 from distance. Most were pretty wide open. Our putrid shooting continues to kill us. But we have not attacked with force/authority enough.
It's Depaul. You call the TO to set up a play and run it because in the final four with 3.2 seconds left in the game down 1 you need a play you've run before. Gotta coach 40 minutes, gotta play 40 minutes.
This team is going to hell in a handbasket. It's a collective funk. Shaka, you gotta do something to wake 'em up. First off, I'd sit Chase's ass for that bonehead play. Hard to see a good March coming.

I don't know about the finished part, but absolutely on the intensity. St. John's can't shoot but they make it work by doing everything else.

Are you being serious here? Cause otherwise that's not a smart basketball thought.
Lots of blame to go around. This is a veteran team and the mistakes and it seems like lack of mental toughness makes you think it is a very young team.
I don't get the roster construction, it doesn't seem to match what Shaka wants to do with the absolute lack of 3 point shooting.
Definitely seems to be the first time here that shakas coaching can be a bit questioned, even if we win team has been playing like crap for over a month no way to sugarcoat it
We look awful!! When are the coaches going to take charge and get tough. WE ARE NOT A THREE POINT SHOOTING TEAM.... 3-15 in first half...crap offensive action. Get back to twos, moving, cutting, getting in deeper for twos and fouls and offensive rebounds. Assists must come from others than Kam. Watch the tape of the Wisconsin game....another loss at home would call for dire measures....shake up big time...
For those watching on TV, isn't the MU fluff piece with the shaking of hands the lamest?
You've got to start to wonder if these guys just can't shoot.
You think to yourself that Kam and Jop have proven then can over 3 years, but nothing looks close.
It's gotta be mental but you start to wonder

Sorry, I went upstairs to get some whiskey so I missed it
A lot of it comes down to 3pt shooting. The offensive attack based on taking a ton of 3s isn't working because they don't shoot them well. 20% again in the first half. Something needs to give.
I'd DePaul missing some players for this game?

If the 3 pt misses were close you'd feel like they would eventually drop. But we aren't even close most of the time.

For the same reason radios have a warning not to take them in the bath with you
Tre looks good out there when he isn't shooting 3s.
Doing everything else well.
Our defensive intensity amped up. But I'd really like to see us make some open shots and drop the 🔨.
Chase realized DePaul has no one that can keep him from getting up the floor and to the rim.
No idea what Jop was doing there defensively.

Ben another wide open 3 missed.
Owens a brick from 3

This team is just completely incapable of playing well for a long stretch of time.
Chase Ross may be a worse finisher than Joplin. Zero touch.
Incredible bad! So hard for this team to score, what's more amazing Shaka does not have one scorer with a real jump shot, it's either a crazy layup or a pitiful 3, hard team to watch
We're 4-25 from 3. And DePaul is 3 for 20.
How many misses at the basket tonight? by Ross alone?
I missed the first half and I'm already over this game
The full line change is what I would do when I'm so pissed at the way the guys were playing. But, I'm a shmuck sitting on my couch in my basement, not coaching a major college basketball team

The inability of this team to put the ball in the basket is going to lead to an early exit in March. I didn't realize a team could shoot so poorly for such an extended period of time. It's been brick city for a month.
Teams can survive being unable to make wide open 3s or lay ups at the rim
You cant survive being utterly pathetic at both.
We might have the worst offense in D1 next year
I keep waiting for the guys to give me hope for the rest of the season. I'm still waiting
Deeply unserious team.
I hope the new freshman next year can shoot the ball!
Not exactly a stress free game. Finish them!!
Quote from: bradforster on February 11, 2025, 09:19:47 PMThe inability of this team to put the ball in the basket is going to lead to an early exit in March. I didn't realize a team could shoot so poorly for such an extended period of time. It's been brick city for a month.
That's the crazy thing to me
Even legitimately bad basketball teams have a game or two over a month where they black out.
We are lucky to even have a 50% shooting half. And if we do we know they will keep shooting and by games end be at 35% from deep at best.
Its crazy
The two teams are a combined 8 for 48 from three point range. Holy smokes.
Seriously?????
For the love of god
What an embarrassment that was
Chase and Jop can go find the bench
I just don't know how anyone can defend Jop. The most unserious player we've ever had. Still not convinced he wasn't on the take vs Nc State
Why are we shooting 3s with 15-29 seconds left in shot clock with 2:30 seconds left in game? That cost us 3 maybe 5 if we could have scored then. Dang

Incredible.
Good grief Kam.
Of course
That usual Kam late game 1 and 1 free throw brick
4 year issue
Kam is downright pathetic at the line. It's not skill or mental. He just doesn't take his time or focus.
8-14 from FT. Front end misses. This team is very average to below average.
Does Kam Jones ever make late game free throws?

He only shot 18 free throws his Freshman year lol

That's why I talk about a total lack of poise at times Daniel. That can't happen.
The gamblers who took DP and 18 points are counting their money.

That's ELITE offense
Omgg. A foul off the ball????

Your point relative to my point?
This is two lousy basketball teams. We are only saved from our own ineptitude by DePaul's ineptitude
Well, I guess we gotta at least give Stevie credit for making his free throws

We 're extremely fortunate to have played a bad basketball team tonight.

Week off and get to play a worse one!!!

You said it was a 4 year issue. Tough to be considered an issue for a whole year on just 18 attempts.
This game didn't provide the glimmer of hope I was hoping to get from it.
4-25 3pt attempts tonight
Quote from: MUEng92 on February 11, 2025, 09:31:37 PMThis game didn't provide the glimmer of hope I was hoping to get from it.
No, it did not. Perhaps a Scoop contingent should address the team?
Not beating the Wojo-era tailspin allegations
Chase should stop inbounding the ball
It's just dumb play after dumb play after dumb play. These guys are seniors and should know better.
Horrible in-bounds play. Jeesh.
I'll say I like all the underclassmen, but none of them aren't replaceable.
Quote from: MUEng92 on February 11, 2025, 09:33:28 PMChase should stop inbounding the ball
He almost threw an alley oop to DePaul lol
Horrible in-bounds play. Jeesh.

We got the ball in bounds!!!!!

He was 61% and in a game he was great(kstate) missed the 1 and 1 with Oso saving us with D to win by 1
I said its a 4 year issue because it is. Kam isn't good at the line and cannot be counted on from it.
He misses just about every big one he takes whether its 18 all year or 400
I guess it was better than losing to DePaul
Take the W and try to learn something from this. Wow. It's a W!
Quote from: MuggsyB on February 11, 2025, 09:34:40 PMHorrible in-bounds play. Jeesh.
Recurring issue from several points on the floor. Doesn't seem to have improved.
Fck just woke up, did MU not cover?
Quote from: Newsdreams on February 11, 2025, 09:49:03 PMFck just woke up, did MU not cover?
No. They won but not good enough even after getting up 16 but then only up 8 and didn't shoot good and missed free throws and then they had the yearly Shaka swoon
I honestly don't remember the last time I was so disappointed by a 10 point win.

Well said. I can't think of one.

This all suxs

By MU? All the time...
Quote from: PGsHeroes32 on February 11, 2025, 09:36:21 PMI said its a 4 year issue because it is. Kam isn't good at the line and cannot be counted on from
He's basically been a 2 out of 3 FT shooter throughout. It does seem that there have been a number of late game situations where he hasn't performed well from the line.
As they say, Marquette needed a win in the worst way, and that's exactly what they got.
