Probably depends what teams you look at.

Title: Re: Indiana game thread
Post by: MuggsyB on November 09, 2025, 01:06:10 PM
A couple of things:

If we're not forcing turns, can this team defend at all?

All of our turnovers were essentially unforced.  Indiana is not a good defensive team. 

It is beyond mind-boggling to me that we seemingly have no defensive strategy for Tucker DeVries. 

Zaide has to be that 2nd scorer and play way more off of two feet in the paint. 

Our passing after punching the paint has been a down right train wreck.

I would not play Caedin and Royce together.

Sean has to figure it out or we should give the 🔑 🔑 to NJ.  That was quite frankly an abomination.

For the 2nd half my lineup would be James, Stevens, Ross. Lowry and Gold with Parham and maybe Phillips coming off the bench. At this point Jones, Owens and Hamilton are hurting MU too much to play them.

I think a good coach can coach up transfers and retention players.  Shaka did it year one.  Go the retention route and you must be right most of the time in recruiting and signing players.   

Indiana is not a special team.  We have really good teams we have to play.

It looks like there's little this team has to offer this year. We are seeing helter skelter offense again and a poor shooting team to boot. Anyway it's best to know the quality this team at this early stage. We will watch the teams around us who accept transfers dominate. It's a shame that our University can't pony up the bucks to get some decent transfers. It may be necessary for the University to begin accepting transfers starting at the coaches position

Norman I can agree. I'll be as harsh as anyone on Sean for his play so far in 2.5 games, he's been absolutely dreadful. But I'm willing to give him a little leash considering he hasn't played in 2 years. But it needs to turn around in a hurry, and I would be playing him minimum minutes rest of this game.

My biggest disappointment so far in the early games has been Owens.

He looked like an up and coming star early last year and I accepted that injuries stunted his development. But now he looks completely lost, and his place in the substitution patterns in the early games says that he isn't doing anything in practice to earn more time.

Yeah.  Hard to watch.  Out of position, wide open threes, internal defense weak,  not many deflections  - this game will be a prep game for anyone playing us.    Really poor execution on every level on both ends of court.    On to next game

Team is young, inexperienced, lightly skilled. We are in for more games like this. The hope is that we improve over the course of the year. That being said:

1. Sean Jones is not a starting BE guard
2. Need to work hard on improving ball pressure and 1x1 D, is awful right now. Rotations late.
3. Offense - the roster is what it is. Keep working on shooting, both 3s and coming off screens, push the ball. Prayers might help

With the exception of 2 guys, the roster is primarily 'average' on talent, combined with a bunch of guys that seem reluctant under the bright lights, no go-to on offense...there will be more games like this one. Might set a record this season for number of times a MU team gives up +90.If this season ends with 16 or 17 wins, not sure how the HC can't not move on some guys for the portal.

It's hard to be disappointed in the players. With the exception of NJ, Chase, Gold & Stevens, this is a Horizon League roster. Which of these other guys would play on a top 25 team? Even the ones that occasionally do something useful turn around a kill you on the other end. It's gotta be frustrating for the coaches too.

Coming into the season with all of the question marks my mindset was to think of MU as a bubble team and then adjust expectations based  on how they look and develop.

After the first 3 games my expectations have been temporarily adjusted to wondering if they will even be on the bubble in February.

The weekly question of "where will MU be ranked on Monday?" seems likely to have the same answer all season.

It might be time to send some guys packing who aren't working out and upgrade, then.

Hamilton has shown me nothing to indicate he's a high-major 5. Big West coaches laughed when MU took him. I'm not sure Clark is going to be any more than a mop-up player. He's worth a shot but if it's not working it's time for him to go where he'll play and be good, like a Southland or Sun Belt school.

Are you sure about this?  I agree Wojo could recruit.  Uncertain if Shaka can coach.  What makes us think that?  When coaching matters most, late in the conference season and in the postseason, Marquette has been at its worst under Shaka.
