Marquette will be traveling to Purdue to lose on Saturday, December 13th according to Purdue Basketball
https://bsky.app/profile/boilerball.bsky.social/post/3loj2nh75mc2v
A loss is a strong possibility with their experience and home court advantage. Similar to two years ago, if they play well, it will be a good sign.
This is 1000% a loss and probably in ugly fashion
Quote from: ATL MU Warrior on May 06, 2025, 10:01:56 AMThis is 1000% a loss and probably in ugly fashion
I've already created my draft lamenting the lack of a transfer in that list us this game.
I'm already mad about the loss. But I'm grateful I don't have a brother in law who attended Purdue.
The gap is widening
I'll assume we play at Wisconsin on the 6th.
If we lose that one as well it will be quite the meltdown here after the Purdue game.

Gard always gets it done.
Win the buy games and win 2 of IU/UW/Purdue/Buzz and we're in a good position. Surprised that Purdue game is on a Saturday.
That's a strong schedule for the Boilers. Two of their buy games are top level MAC programs
Who or what is a Baha Mar?
EDIT: Tourney name. Thought it was an individual team, lol.

All of these losses are inexcusable.
Continually dominated by Big Ten teams. When will we learn?

Give our guys a chance to grow.
Give Shaka a chance to coach.
Let's see where this takes us next fall.

Win. Make up for the last time we were at Mackey where we had them dead to rights and let them escape.

Oh, I'm just being realistic. Like I said, if they give Purdue a game it will be a very good sign. Just like it was the last time they played them at Mackey. I'll be there again rooting for them. I am fully relaxed. Nothing I can do but cheer them on.

Especially last years team. They really outperformed expectations.
The healthy MU team exceeded expectations. The beat up hobbled version with Chase, Damarius, and Stevie needing surgery, Kam with a wrist injury on his shooting hand, and Ben with a broken finger and shin splints did not.

Wrongo. Hurley is outpacing Shaka right now, as is McDermott. Last years team was Shakas weakest since year 1. Dispute all you want, you are wrong, and know it. The New Mexico game proved so. I root for MU and want Shaka to continue to have success. But I also call them as I see them. It seems (as you say) that they are not meeting expectations.

lol Why're you bringing all this other stuff in? Did you say they'd be middle of the pack before the season? Yes. So your expectation for the season was met.
I personally expected a 6 seed and went on record with goose saying that, my expectation was not met. I don't know why you're trying to project this low expectation you had for the season onto me.
Good thing Shaka didn't go get an aircraft carrier in the portal with how they perform in the Red sea. Would be an auto loss in Madison this year.
Full non-conference schedule released today.

Also, besides Buzz returning next season, Dwane Killings UAlbany team is first up.

I only see 1 or 2 wins on that schedule. Not good
After seeing that schedule, I've become a big advocate of tournament expansion. I can't imagine many high majors are playing that type of schedule.

He was honest. I don't blame him not wanting to come to Milwaukee. Personally, his exit was shady but damn did we have a few fun years.
Closure is healthy.
F Buzz
No one was volunteering to flush for him in Milwaukee.
While I love and appreciate everything he accomplished at Marquette, and really enjoyed his country bumpkin schtick while he was here, Buzz just seems like a bit of a lost soul.
He's a rich lost soul, but something just screams "off."
There's nothing wrong with being transient, and moving from spot to spot if you've deemed that it's best for your long term career and overall job and personal security, but gosh almighty that cat has taken it to the extreme.
He preaches appreciation, he tells his guys that he's all in for them, all about them, and that he doesn't mess with his happy, but a few years into a gig he's already one foot out the door.
Not once, not twice, but over and over again.
If that's who and what you've decided to be, ok cool that's your prerogative.
Spare everyone the heartfelt schtick while you're at it though, in my humble opinion.
He did a lot for the program and unfortunately, as sad as it is, I think he knows he's in for a nice boo job and a decent amount of heckling at FiServ.
Maybe I'm wrong
Keep tipping the bottle of sand over.

He's a weird dude. I understand that - I am as well. Totally understand him not wanting this game. But I also totally understand me wanted to be there to watch his team get stomped the eff out. C'mon calendar, let's get moving.
How is Maryland going to be?
I feel we always lose these types of emotional games
Quote from: marqfan22 on July 04, 2025, 10:17:54 PMHow is Maryland going to be?

I don't see this as an emotional game for Shaka or the team. For some scoopers? Sure! But so what?
I'm not surprised he tried to get out of the game. I'm surprised he freely admitted it though.
Quote from: marqfan22 on July 04, 2025, 10:17:54 PMHow is Maryland going to be?
They're going to be a stereotypical Buzz team. They are going to shoot like s**t from three. Pharrel Payne and Solomon Washington will be beasts on the offensive glass, and their greatest offensive success will likely come on putbacks. Need to force misses (shouldn't be hard) and compete on the glass (will be hard).
Defensively, they will try to win the fight first, stop the opponent second. They'll be physical, but historically Buzz's teams don't do well on defense the first couple years (#52 in year one at Marquette was the best defensive rank per kenpom in his first two years at any stop). Maybe they'll be better because of the TAMU holdovers, but I wouldn't put money on it.
Maryland is probably going to be a bubble team. Gun to my head right now, they're more likely NIT/Crown than they are Dayton. Just not enough offensive firepower or defensive cohesion. Add in that this game is likely their first test on the road in the second week of the season in a very hostile environment against a veteran team and I like our odds.
Hopefully Maryland doesn't manage to make more FT than Marquette attempts

Word is that Jimmy Butler agreed to address the team pregame.
The Maryland team.

Its been years now showing his teams are bad at shooting but its still strange to read when my first three years at MU we were a pretty good 3pt shooting team.
Quote from: DoctorV on July 05, 2025, 01:42:38 PMHopefully Maryland doesn't manage to make more FT than Marquette attempts
Well, they will play harder than Marquette. It's impossible for any team to play harder than Buzz Williams coached team, just ask him.

It was a combination of inheritance and luck, I think. He got the Amigos with Lazar, Cooby, & Acker following them from Crean.
DJO, Crowder, & Jimmy could all shoot a bit, but when he went to mostly HS recruits, he didn't get anyone who shot it very well.

Agree weird was going to post something similar regarding Cooby DJO Acker Hayward and Butler and the 2009-2010 team but got called away for work. Awesome post.
Maybe he got Wade Taylor V to sling up some shots

Did they actually sell them? It was just for a "put your preferred seats" thing for me. Never got any follow up

Yeah, that's correct, it was to reserve seats...but the prices were $150 and $250. Maybe based on the (lack of) reservations those prices might drop.
Looking back, last season's schedule was released on Sept. 12.

Thanks for the info. Next week would be fine, too. Not that any of us have any control over it!
In addition to the home games, friends and I have gone to the game at Butler each of the last 3 years and have really enjoyed it. Great atmosphere, reasonably priced seats just a few rows behind the MU bench, and Indy is a pretty fun town. So I'm hoping it falls on a date when we can go again.

Yes. On the other hand, it is easier to get a ticket there than it is at FiServ and the drive is shorter for me. So, a decent tradeoff.
TV networks and times came out on 10/2 last year.

Big three of Chase Ross, Ben Gold, and Royce Parham. Ross is 92nd. Gold 190th. Parham 303rd.
Everyone else outside the top 850.

There will be complaints, I'm sure, but the sked looks good to me.
Easy choice for National Marquette Day - Sat 2/7.
Three Sat conference home dates, and one Sun.
I see a possible trip for me and family/friends: at DePaul 1/16; home Prov 1/19, at Butler 1/23.
Schedule coming out is just another step in getting me psyched for the season. We Are Marquette!

@Butler and @DePaul on Friday is good. Should be a decent amount of MU fans making the trip for those. Myself included hopefully.
Sunday Jan 4 at UConn may be an expensive ticket for me. Jan 13 @ MSG

I like the structure of the schedule. We can get off to a strong start with 4 winnable home games while the students are away and our three hardest games (at Creighton, at UConn, at SJU) are out of the way by game 7. After that trip to SJU we are set up for a potential winning streak and get the three toughest home games all in the back half of the season.
I don't like only 3 Saturdays and 1 Sunday, especially when the Bucks are on the road all the February weekends.

Agree. Re the weekends, welcome to the digital streaming world as the BE (like others) is maximizing its video revenue sources as opposed to convenience of fans in the stands.

I'm hearing National Marquette Day is Feb. 7 and I have been told it won't start any later than 4 p.m. CT.
The times and networks might be out by next week. That would be a surprise to me. Last year, it was 10/2.

That's disappointing. Only 6 out of 17 home games are on Saturday/Sunday. Of the 5 Saturday games, 3 (11/15, 11/22, and 3/7) are on days when the Bucks play at 7pm and will therefore be early games. If 2/7 NMD is also an early game, that leaves a maximum of one Saturday night game: 1/10 vs Villanova.

Well you accept the media money, you also accept that you don't have control over your schedule.
It's an odd "grouping" of home games:
11/03-11/22 20 days 6 home games
11/23-01/06 45 days 3 home games
01/07-01/27 21 days 4 home games
01/28-02/28 32 days 2 home games
03/01-03/07 7 days 2 home games

I was told it was going to be last week, which I didn't believe. Times don't come out one week after the schedule is released.
FOX put times out for the rest of its Fridays college football games for the rest of the season. That would lead to believe college basketball times and networks schedule will be out anytime now. Last year it was 10/2 when the Big East released networks and times.

Also, the Elvin Hayes vs. Lew Alcindor game in the Astrodome. Also, Rick Mount with his overtime dagger to MU in the NCAAs in the later 60s. More memorable games, which were far and few between and mostly NCAA Final 4s in the 60s.

It was during the finals week blizzard of '87. Heavy wet snow walking back from breakfast somewhere.

I remember that storm. It wiped out my Chemistry final.
The only snow day in my 4 years.

I'm pretty sure it was the first snow day in over a decade.
Quote from: Nukem2 on October 19, 2025, 12:40:45 PMRemember seeing Gail Goodrich and Bill Bradley in (different) NCAA games in the mid-1960s in glorious black and white. And the Texas Western and Loyola NCAA runs in the 60s. Also, the Elvin Hayes vs. Lew Alcindor game in the Astrodome. Also, Rick Mount with his overtime dagger to MU in the NCAAs in the later 60s. More memorable games, which were far and few between and mostly NCAA Final 4s in the 60s. The feeds weren't so great in those days as well leaving a rather fuzzy picture even with a good antenna setup.
I was there for that heart breaker.

Yeah, I don't remember a single snow day during my 4 years.
Back then, we were tough. We walked to and from class every day, uphill both ways, through 10 feet of snow, wearing only Chucks on our feet.

Jerry Taff a name from the past that reminds me of a couple things. One the girl I was dating just before my wife said to me I looked like Jerry Taff when I laid on my side on her couch. I do not lay on my side anymore. 2nd Jerry Taff spoke to me through the television. Real Wolf Blitzer Tom Cruise Mission Impossible Stuff. I spoke with my Mom the next day she said your Dad is just messing with you do not worry about it. If you knew my Dad you knew this was possible no pun intended.

The only time I can remember when classes were suspended was a 3 day stretch when it was -20 degrees and 15 mile/hr. winds.

Agree reminds me of another story. My In Laws from Saint Louis were visiting us and staying at the Courtyard in Milwaukee now a Sonesta. They came over to our house the next day and said the Cardinals won. Which was awesome but the Cardinals had lost. My In Laws said no we saw it on the news last night the Cardinals won. But again they actually lost. Someone had Tom Cruise Wolf Blitzer Missioned Impossibled Them. My Dad and his friends loved their Shennanigans is all I can say. Can not say anymore on this. RIP Dad

lol we just roll with it. I asked my Mother in Law about this at Christmas and she said she did not know what was going on at the time. My Father In Law said at the time that is trouble. There was a reason they only came up here one time in the next 20 years . Spectrum recently said they have not ever seen a house wired like ours. Haha

No, I'm not 'back'. I was just surprized that none of you bothered to post Matt Norlander annual Top 101 – especially since Matt is apparently the only prognosticator to pick
Marquette in the Top 25 this season, and third in the Big East.

We'll see if my faith in Shaka Smart's unique approach to roster fashioning pays off, because I can tell you a lot of people in and around that program are intrigued to see how this goes over the next five months. Marquette, again, is not bringing in a transfer. The only other places among the 360-ish schools in D-I where this is also true are military academies or Ivy/Patriot League programs, where scholarships aren't available. To do this amid the most portal-frenzied era ever is an act of hubris, defiance, trust and faith. I'm riveted.
Chase Ross will be the next star guard for the Golden Eagles now that Kam Jones and Stevie Mitchell have graduated. I like his chemistry along with Ben Gold and Royce Parham, but beyond that, it's going to have to be an old-school approach. Marquette has five freshmen on the roster and other players who didn't crack more than five points per game. Fading MU in 2025-26 is an easy choice; I'll go the other way and say it still works and that Smart's team has a single-digit NCAA seed for a fifth straight year.

Nobody posted it because when people here want to read an article, they typically go to the article to read it. We don't need full articles copied and pasted as a post.
Thanks for your concern, though!
It's always nice to see something positive about Marquette posted by someone from a low-rated university.
