Running it back today. It would be nice if Shaka were once again able to get 10 minutes of run for nearly the entire team. Now that all of the opening night adrenaline is spent, will the defense have the same intensity? Will the offense start to smooth out?
I hope Southern runs a man defense so that we can see MU's man offense.
Watched a bit of their first game (pretty bad feed):
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eydvBWSKi58&pp=ygURQXJrYW5zYXMgc291dGhlcm7SBwkJAwoBhyohjO8%3D
These guys play at a quick pace. Man to man defense. 9 guys got more than 10 minutes for them. Think their head coach is still battling an illness and won't be there.
Southern shot 12/27 for 44% from 3. But shot 11/24 from foul line for 45%. Interesting shooting splits.

If he makes a large enough contribution to the MU NIL fund, I say let him sit on the bench. After we see how he does on high fives, move on from there.

We should have a large lead late in the game. Maybe Shaka will put him in then to see if he's any good.
Everything I read in the NBA thread indicates he is terrible and should have been traded years ago. Pass.
Dentists would pull every cent of donation money if Giannis suited up
He'd have a better coach at Marquette. Plus, guys who have been playing in the GLeague for 3 years are going to college. Why not Giannis? He's never played college basketball.

You make a good case for letting him play tonight. Maybe he could help out in our UCONN and St. Johns games also.
Anyone know of any illegal Russian streams for tonight's game?
Like, I'm looking for some one-stop shopping -- watch Marquette, maybe buy some Ugg boots?
I'm lacking the motivation to get my butt up and go to the game.

Go! Maybe you can sit on the bench and Giannis will let you hold his Gatorade.

Meetings have killed my day and chances to make it up before tip. Going to see what this streaming is all about.

I've tried both. Either get "Unexpected Errror. Try again later" or an E logo just spins when I try to "Browse Plans." Quite annoying.

Yes we would need him against those 2 teams, however that gap is too wide to cross.
I don't think we can afford his NIL package

Shaka doesn't use the portal.
Is there a way to listen to pre-and post game radio when you're not in the area? Tried to have them. I just get streaming is not allowed message.
LFG!!
Sweet Jesus. Focus Chase.
It's already a weird game
Never seen a scoring chance before tip
Wow
Caedin with sweet feet
Great move by Caedin to open things up

Thatta boy ZL.
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on November 05, 2025, 07:04:32 PMGreat move by Caedin to open things up
Not sure he should be taking triples..
Start the bus. Southern is too athletic for us
Not a good shot by Sean. Move the freaking basketball.
Benny!
BG!
Great D fron NJ.
Great start for Royce.
Caedin had some rebound chances and went for tapouts or just didn't go after the ball at all. Royce went and grabbed that one. Love that assertiveness on the glass.
Good take by Chase. Transition D isn't good right now and we're bricking open 3's.
wtf is this start damn..
Apparently the defensive game plan is to just let them drive to the basket for two at will.
Remember the beginning of this season when MU's defense was great?
Ughhh. Attack the rim and D up.
Clark must not be ready to run up and down in a contest like this because it seems like he could help prevent some of these easy baskets.
Is the MUScoop site working as slowly as MU's defense for anyone else or do I have an Internet problem on my end?
Poor rebounding -wow. Some nice threes. We will get this going
Quote from: MUEng92 on November 05, 2025, 07:16:40 PMRemember the beginning of this season when MU's defense was great?

I take back my nice comment about Caedin

Yes big problems with scoop
I hope this is the last time Shaka challenges in the 1st half, even if successful
Well that description is not what happened
WTF.

Agreed.
Not sure if this has been posted .. stream link
https://buffstreams.plus/ncaa/southern-university-jaguars-marquette-golden-eagles/1029800
The ball was no where near Chase's leg. Dumb call
They're literally not guarding us on the perimeter. We better figure out how to make wide open shots.
Quote from: MUEng92 on November 05, 2025, 07:31:02 PMThe ball was no where near Chase's leg. Dumb call
Twas off his tush.
The way Stevens and James move, you can just tell they're different. Going to be a hell of a tandem for years to come.
Watching on ESPN+ via DirecTV (yes I'm a dinosaur). Slightly choppy feed. Rebooted everything. Not sure if anyone else has this issue.
12 minutes in and they've already made more 3's than game 1. It's as if it's difficult to judge how good a team will be from watching the first game and a quarter
Quote from: MUEng92 on November 05, 2025, 07:28:46 PMI hope this is the last time Shaka challenges in the 1st half, even if successful
Think he was just testing the system?
Quote from: Nukem2 on November 05, 2025, 07:35:18 PMThink he was just testing the system?
Yes, I assume that's the case
Stevens is as good as James pressuring the ball. These dudes are awesome.

I closed some of the p0rn tabs I had open and Scoop sped up for me.
parhams not lookin beuno so far
Let him out of the trap. Ugh
Extremely disappointing 14+ mins.
Kick up the intensity and close the final 5 mims strong.
What's with the bench guys clapping in unison?
Game is unwatchable with this whistle. Some things never change
Is Shaka wanting Clark to work harder to earn a spot or what? He looks the part out there. Active hands, moves ok, just a presence at the rim.
Why does it take him 15 minutes to get in?
Put Kam in and calm the guys down
I had all sorts of streaming issues Monday (doing play by play on a college webstream tonight).
We're doing a terrible job in the middle of the paint. Play with power and decisiveness.
Get Zaide back in the game.

Minutes at the 5 look wide open for anyone's taking.
In the not too distant future, it will be Gold and Parham starting up front.
Quote from: MuggsyB on November 05, 2025, 07:45:20 PMWe're doing a terrible job in the middle of the paint. Play with power and decisiveness.
Yes on both ends of the court
Caedin saved Gold's butt on the last possession
(https://tenor.com/bIpTt.gif)
We're so three happy. Attack and space in transition.
Constantly being beaten on the baseline drives
Good grief! Get that freaking rebound! Amp it up!
Damn, Gold finally stays in front of a guy on defense and he nails the 3
horrific defense
That can't happen.
This was a D 1st half. No way to sugarcoat it.
every single player on this team is a turnstyle tonight
trash half. Defense was bad. offense was ok. whistle was awful
Very poor internal defense. Wow. How many points in the paint did southern have. Ong. Need to tighten this up fast. Indy will be a lot tougher.
Quote from: MuggsyB on November 05, 2025, 07:57:06 PMThat can't happen.
This was a D 1st half. No way to sugarcoat it.
First 7 minutes were especially brutal. They hit us in the mouth.
Obviously the guys are freaked out about going to nyc for the BE tourney in March
It's early in a retool year so it is what it is, but I wish we had more ability to take control of these games. We have no half court offense which makes it very very tough. Running up and down is great but when the game gets out of control for both teams it would be nice to be able to flip the switch and control a game in the half court.
I still can't forgive myself for thinking Brian Butch is a good color commentator
You have got to be shiiiiting me.
Nice to see Caedin score inside.
I swear that Southern guy's 3 had forward spin instead of backspin
Sean really telegraphs those one handed passes.
Thatta boy JTY.
Nice D Ben
That was nice. More of that.
Great sequence from Hamilton there on O.
I prefer the sophomore Caedin Hamilton
Nice run, good D by Ben on the other end. Let's Gooo Marquette!
Caedin can dunk!?
Very good few mins Caedin.
Owens should give some of the arc on his 3 point jumper to Sean.
Hey...I didn't realize other teams could step on the sideline on offense
Quote from: Uncle Rico on November 05, 2025, 05:30:45 PMSmart. You won't robbed and/or shot
This one made me cackle hahah
Sloppy.
No idea what that was defensively. Either double or don't double in the paint.
Speed kills
Southern is on the ropes!
Finally 8-)
That's more like it. Run them to Purgatory and then eliminate them.
Stevens looks like a baller.
Yeah! Nice run! Mostly from D. Freshmen are going to be good
This team is really fun. So much size and athleticism compared to Shakas first few years.
Quote from: MUEng92 on November 05, 2025, 08:34:06 PMSpeed kills
Exactly right. And did you notice NJ was D-ing up at half court after he made that transition bucket? Good sign.
James' one man fast break then getting back on defense to be in front of his man at half court was impressive
Quote from: MuggsyB on November 05, 2025, 08:36:22 PMExactly right. And did you notice NJ was D-ing up at half court after he made that transition bucket? Good sign.
He ran his ass back to play D.
Benny!!

Whoops, I should have reloaded before posting exactly what you did
Run it down their throats!! Keep the pedal down.
I don't mind that take fron DO but he has to finish.
Chase in attack mode is always good.
Caedin with a solid half on the offensive end. Front court looks like it has some potential.
Strong performance from Caedin.
0 for 3 on lobs?
Ughhhh.....Royce.
Completely lost focus.
Quote from: MuggsyB on November 05, 2025, 08:54:54 PMUghhhh.....Royce.
Dude has no interior presence on d whatsoever
Pissing away some kenpom and net ranking points here.
Not working for best shot - just finish these guys off big. The spread was 24.5 I think! Let's do it Go Marquette!
Way too many fouls this half. Wow.
C'mon refs, there's 5000 people left in the arena and about that many watching on TV. You aren't impressing anyone with all these foul calls

Great form for sure.
2 points away from having 7 guys with double figures. I guess it was a good 2nd half
That was a good win. That team might be top 200.
Nice game for Hamilton. Needs to rebound more but solid outing for him. Go Marquette! Sunday will be a real test.
Horrible lose
We had 5 guys in double figures, and two just an eyelash away. Like the depth.
