Marquette will be traveling to Purdue to lose on Saturday, December 13th according to Purdue Basketball

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

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.

Shaka is on nickname watch
All of these losses are inexcusable.
Continually dominated by Big Ten teams. When will we learn?

Will we be wearing Wisconsin uniforms, or something?

You'll give me 1,000-to-1 odds and a 20-point spread? Cool. How much do you want to bet?

All Marquettes reach equilibrium.
3-0 last year, 0-3 this
I can't wait to see what 7'5 player they have for that game.
Yeah this is the most
Obvious loss in Shaka era
I think

Said everyone before the Baylor game.

Is 7-4 close enough: https://purduesports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/daniel-jacobsen/14421
And they have two 6-11 guys.

Under rating shakas teams have been a theme on scoop since his 2nd season.
The AD should be fired for scheduling games we can't win.

I thought he was fired for the ultimate no-win game by scheduling a road game at Dayton.

Oh plllleeaaassseee!!!!!!
Give our guys a chance to grow.
Give Shaka a chance to coach.
Let's see where this takes us next fall.
In the meantime, R-E-L-A-X!!!!
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.

Thanks

This is you right?
Quote from: willie warrior on April 13, 2024, 06:00:28 AMThat line up is not awe inspiring. Hope the incoming recruits step up. Otherwise we are mid pack in BEast while Hurley continues to rule.
Seems like they met your expectations

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.

Should have been. Losing to Dayton sucks.

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.

I hesitate to bring this up, but is that Valpo game a buy game? I didn't think Missouri Valley schools did that.
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.

Valpo played a buy game at Ohio State last year.
