LFG!! Nothing is over.
Stephens starting. Zaide off the bench.
Quote from: JTJ3 on Today at 12:52:29 PMStephens starting. Zaide off the bench.
Interesting.
Presumably related to the comments Coach made after Tuesday's game.
Nigel dribbling and holding the ball way too long. Move the basketball.
Sweet Jesus. Make a lay-up.
Let's go now. Maybe that gets Chase off.
Go strong Caedin! Fk.
Zaide look different
Sean launching a contested 3 off the dribble is not what u want
Good stretch of D. Like Zaides haircut.
The defense hasn't been bad. Offensively we are just jacking mostly contested 3's.
And as usual missing them all
Solid start, if we can't make shots, we need to keep defending. Good effort on that end so far
Interesting stat they just said: MU #1 in shots at the rim. #342 in fg% at the rim.
Good attack by Ben. Let's wake the f up and drain some buckets.
Royce just needs to slow down, plant, abd finish.
1 for 11. That's a problem.
Stupid quick 3 from parham
Crazy we cannot make a shot.
We'd be crushing it if we shot 25%
MU. The team that couldnt shoot straight. Gooollllddddbrick with a couple early bricks.
This team probably gonna finish bottom 50 in the nation in 3 pt shooting
This isn't bad shooting, it's a complete and utter disaster.
Wide open corner brick.
Open 3s are there. Hit them, boys.
Ross is 2 for 4? What's the rest of the team?
Incredible how bad at shooting this team is
Getting good shots
On pace for 14 pts at the half.
Quote from: TSmith34, Inc. on Today at 01:16:28 PMWe'd be crushing it if we shot 25%
Exactly. It is so depressing how poor our shooting is.
Goolllddddbrick back in. We have this now!
Get the ball to our shooters!!!
Quote from: 21Jumpstreet on Today at 01:19:37 PMGetting good shots
Many wide freaking open as well as three bunnies. WTF is their problem?
I honestly think we are the worst shooting team in the nation
I like some of those guys but I'd be ok with a total reset next year starting at square 1 with 0 players if possible lol.
This is pathetic.
Playing well. Just cant make an open jumper.
We're 2-16 and have twice as many shots. Completely inexcusable ineptitude.
Yeah. Were playing well except for the shooting. If the shots drop well win.
Quote from: willie warrior on Today at 01:19:59 PMGoolllddddbrick back in. We have this now!
True knowledge overflows from you, Dung Willie
We're 2-16. They have only 8 shots.
Quote from: JakeBarnes on Today at 01:18:17 PMOpen 3s are there. Hit them, boys.
open by design
Ridiculous.
Have the players vision been tested?
How does Ross even make those damn
Doing a good job on the glass.
The defense actually looks about the best it has all season. So there's that.
Bout to get blown out if we don't make some shots. Chase was fouled.
Quote from: Jockey on Today at 01:20:14 PMGet the ball to our shooters!!!

Well it was interesting for 9 minutes. This team is just something else man. Rout is on
MU 1-10 from 3, 3-20 overall
I'd call a time-out right now.
Must be a tough shooting background.
Caedin!
Does this team get any shots up during practice?
Need a time-out.
God damn, I hate Wisconsin. Still early
Waited too long. It was clear as crystal.
Well. This is tracking like every other game so far.
Just brutal to watch this. Offense is a joke. Just praying Hamilton isos can get us back in it. Can't watch
If you can't make any shots, especially point blank, your defense will break down.
Somebody must explain what type of offense they run besides dribbling around?
Shaka should call a time out after first 2 minutes of game to calm the team down.
We are already 10+ points down.
Ugly so far, likely to get worse.
Got late early due to missing every shot. No idea how every 3 pt shooter has regressed on wide open shots.
I dont understand how Caeden can be so bulky and have zero ability to impose will.
Need a big run here out of the TO.
What a dumpster fire
Hamilton starting the spin cycle for no reason and before any contact was initiated is hysterical. Comically bad player.
we need a new shooting coach. Nobody can shoot long, mid range or layups.
Quote from: #UnleashNigel on Today at 01:28:07 PMWell. This is tracking like every other game so far.
Yes. And this is self-inflicted or most of these guys are not high D-1 players. It's hard to imagine shooting this badly frankly. I thought we were around #225-250 but we may be closer to #300.
BC - that IS the offense ...
Dribble
Dribble
Dribble ... bad shot!?
They're daring us to shoot.
Benny!!! LFG!!
Quote from: cheebs09 on Today at 01:26:08 PMMust be a tough shooting background.
Yeah, there is a basket in the way
OMG ... Tre has an open 3 ....
Nope. Drive into traffic and get stuck.
Well done.
Any baseball team would have fired the hitting coach two weeks ago. Gold can't even hit a free throw.
Of course he bricks the FT. Smh.
Good drive from RP.
Problem is now, UW is up with a good lead. They can play without feeling pressure. All the pressure is on MU.
Can't go under on Blackwell.
Chase getting torched
Quote from: Jockey on Today at 01:20:14 PMGet the ball to our shooters!!!
We dont have any
Blackwell is embarrassing them !!
But, MU is going under every screen.
Well done Shaka.
This is the first time I've seen Sean Jones play this season. Woof.
Despite Blackwell on a heater, I like most of the offense in past few mins
We're waiting too long to kick and then move the ball.
Wisconsin in the kohl center always has some red hot shooter putting the game way in the first half. Last time it was some white dude. Today Blackwell
Quote from: cheebs09 on Today at 01:26:08 PMMust be a tough shooting background.
Not for Bucky. Draining 3s
Wisconsin's largest-ever margin of victory against Marquette is 26 points. That happened in 1948.
This game is currently on pace to break that record.
My eyes hurt
Quote from: GB Warrior on Today at 01:30:32 PMHamilton starting the spin cycle for no reason and before any contact was initiated is hysterical. Comically bad player.
He makes everything so much harder than it needs to be.
Iowa State kicked Purdues ass. They definitely have their long term coach, if they can keep him.
Hard to win games when you don't have guys who can shoot.
Another Gooolllldddbrick airball
Embarrassing
My halftime score prediction was 47-26. Don't see us getting to 26.
This is embarrassing. They're + 18 on threes.
lol guess it's a lot to ask this team to keep it under 20 at half. Kind of expected this but doesn't make it any less painful to watch.
Embarrassing
Have a nice weekend everybody!
Quote from: forgetful on Today at 01:38:44 PMHard to win games when you don't have guys who can shoot.
That's the bottom line.
This game should be close. It isnt because we cant hit a shot
Sad part is, ball movement looks pretty decent.
We need a shooting coach
Laphanso Ellis is right. This should be like a 2-6 pt game.
Whelp, I'm a generally positive guy, but we are awful. We may pull it out, but I'm kinda upset now. I know, who cares what I think, but it's pretty embarrassing. I believe in the long term vision, but this much pain in the short term ain't fun. Cheers everyone, Off to the parade!
Game already out of reach. Wow.
Quote from: JakeBarnes on Today at 01:40:57 PMSad part is, ball movement looks pretty decent.
We need a shooting coach
We don't have one?
Plenty more games like this coming.
This is a joke. Time to watch a Christmas movie.
This a disgrace...
MU is AWFUL. What Shaka has done to this program in the last year is shameful.
But ... I know , we should all stop worrying about results. It's not like it's big time basketball?
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 01:41:52 PMWe don't have one?
If we do, then we should reconsider that person's employment.
Can Markus' brother work with our guys?
Woof. Woof. Dog days.

💯
It might be hard for this team to win a game on the road this year
seriously, we need a new shooting coach. You can't win if you can't shoot. Some of these kids shot better in high svhool. What goes wrong at Marquette?
This absolute disgraceful season continues. Poorly coached undisciplined helter skelter offense that can't shoot and apparently can't defend as well. Best to hibernate from this debacle of a season.
Wow. We made one!!
Well, guess after watching the first half, can be more productive doing something else.
WTF was that call??
A Confederacy of Non-Shooters
Quote from: BCHoopster on Today at 01:44:50 PMIt might be hard for this team to win a game on the road this year
Don't think home games will be much easier.
NJ has to finish that.
Let's go now.

wtf shooting coach? How much does that really matter? Some guys just can't shoot. Hire the best shooting coach in the world won't make much difference
How in the world can you leave Blackwell open in the corner?
Omfg.
Wow Chase. Never seen that happen at any level. Ever.
This is embarrassing 🤣🤣🤣
We need a reset.
Unfking real.
Now we're looking silly.
Some posters were worried that Nigel starting might cause Jones to transfer, lol
Wow.
Why is Sean jones playing at all
Can't even get a FT off. Then trip over our own feet. Unbelievable.
This is absolutely humiliating
Jones lol
Jeez Sean
I knew it was going to be like this, but it still sucks to watch.
At least we got that 20 pts in a half EGB
Quote from: 1SE on Today at 01:50:53 PMWhy is Sean jones playing at all
He doesn't belong at this level clearly. He's fast, that's all.
FT"s killing us.
Yipers, even FTs appear daunting.
Quote from: Boozemon Barro on Today at 01:51:32 PMI knew it was going to be like this, but it still sucks to watch.
It's actually worse than expected
My avoidance goal is to avoid sucking.
3rd on Blackwell.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 01:54:15 PM3rd on Blackwell.
Nice, now we might only lose by 20 instead of 30
Could be worse. But some of the stuff we're seeing is beyond inexcusable.
I need some positives by the Scooper Shaka Sages.
Played like trash and only down 12. Doesn't feel as ridiculously bad as it seemed like it was going to be. Thought it'd be over 20 at half
Quote from: HutchwasClutch on Today at 01:53:18 PMIt's actually worse than expected
I don't see how. Poor defense and not being able to score. Exactly what was expected.
Goodness. So close to getting back into it and just making some silly mistakes.
Offense felt a lot better. Badgers cant keep making everything.
Chip away. Win anyways
Somehow down 12 feels like some RGVs
Hate to seem optimistic, but after that shooting disaster it's only 12!
We have 9, I repeat 9, more shot attempts. And we're down 12. You don't see that every day.
Why can't we shoot at all????
Quote from: Boozemon Barro on Today at 01:55:26 PMI don't see how. Poor defense and not being able to score. Exactly what was expected.
I didn't really expect to flip the ball to them on a FT. Imagine the fun their fans will have with that.
That halftime could not have come at a better time.
We don't have the shooters to come back in this one but I'd like to see us create some energy on defense. We haven't looked like the team in control of any game for quite some time now.
Quote from: Johnny B on Today at 01:55:22 PMPlayed like trash and only down 12. Doesn't feel as ridiculously bad as it seemed like it was going to be. Thought it'd be over 20 at half
Same here. Actually played decent down the stretch. Badgers got a bit of a tough whistle.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 01:57:36 PMWe have 9, I repeat 9, more shot attempts. And we're down 12. You don't see that every day.

Especially shots at the rim.

It feels a lot like the IU game. Boy am I upset right now.
It's weird that we're down 12. It should be a lot closer. I like what Ive seen from the offense, especially Royce, Nigel, and Ben.
Rough stretch for SJ. He's still pressing and getting sea legs.
Chase is a mixed bag. They could key in on him and pack paint due to shooting. I like his aggressiveness and dislike his Oso-esque push shot. Get to rim.
Hit a few shots to start the half along with a kill and it's anyone's ballgame.
When you have two trips down the floor and lose the ball on a FT attempt and then just fall while trying to dribble it's hard to expect much.
I know nothing about Marquette's new Prez. Does he understand the importance of men's basketball to this school? Not just the history, the pedigree, but its importance in funding the overall athletic program? Or, how applications increase in correlation to basketball success? The AD, Broeker. I'll assume he does understand these things. But, how aggressive is Broeker? A yes man, or does he have a spine? Yeah, Shaka is back next year. But if it's more RGV, more of this garbage, we'll officially be in DePaul's neighborhood. Never ever thought we'd decline like this.
May have been covered earlier but did anyone see the tweet about Damarius Owens missing the game due to "illness"? I get the suspicion he may have played his last game for MU.

I'm suspicious of that as well. Would love Steel to ask Shaka and have him go on record for his absence.
Quote from: JakeBarnes on Today at 02:01:18 PMRough stretch for SJ. He's still pressing and getting sea legs.
He's deep into his 3rd season of trying to get his sea legs

In my view ...
Prez " Kimo " is clueless. And Broeker is a career company / yes man.

Why you think he's gonna transfer mid season?
Lol. Blackwell & Winter designed their hideous unis.
Why are ww helping there off of Boyd?
Should have been Blackwell's 4th but they took one away from him from the 1st half.
Good attack. Now make some FT's.
WTF!!! Make free throws!!!!
Find Boyd.
Marquette should hire Giannis as a free-throw shooting instructor.
Terrible sequence from Chase.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 02:11:06 PMLol. Blackwell & Winter designed their hideous unis.
lol? They're like standard red uniforms they look fine
Didn't see a foul on NJ.
Count that! LFG.
Would have been nice to have James last year
6 for 14 from the line. Beyond belief.
Another stupid quick pull from parham
Oh, good idea taking james out for Sean. Brilliant.
Parham must think it's a violation to be set and under control before shooting a three.
This free throwing shooting is horrid.
Quote from: 1SE on Today at 02:17:51 PMOh, good idea taking james out for Sean. Brilliant.
Yeah why quickly pull the only one scoring
Absolutely ridiculous from the line. Fking killing us!!!
Free throws and defense matter.....
Seriously, what the hell is wrong with our shooting
Quote from: Johnny B on Today at 02:18:48 PMYeah why quickly pull the only one scoring
It's bad for relationships to.let any one guy score too many points
Parham and Gold both took bad threes. Feet weren't sent. Momentum moving forward on both.
Quote from: 1SE on Today at 02:19:07 PMSeriously, what the hell is wrong with our shooting
It's definitely part mental.
We are a confederacy of non-shooters
Quote from: CountryRoads on Today at 02:19:49 PMParham and Gold both took bad threes. Feet weren't sent. Momentum moving forward on both.
Excellent point. Also know time & score.
I can shoot better free throws than these guys
Quote from: CountryRoads on Today at 02:19:49 PMParham and Gold both took bad threes. Feet weren't sent. Momentum moving forward on both.
At this point, I'm not sure if there's a good 3 for us.
Quote from: 1SE on Today at 02:17:51 PMOh, good idea taking james out for Sean. Brilliant.
Yeah, wtf? He's triggered their best offense of the day
We've had decent looks. Just can't hit shots . No elite shooters. Still close
Quote from: CountryRoads on Today at 02:19:49 PMParham and Gold both took bad threes. Feet weren't sent. Momentum moving forward on both.
There was nothing wrong with shot selection on either. Rushed them a little
4-18 from 3, 7-16 from the line. That's the biggest story.
Our zone isn't good. Get Nigel back on the floor.
What is worse? Defense or shooting?
We have Sean, Tre, and Caedin in at the same time. Holy schitt.
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 02:24:34 PMWe have Sean, Tre, and Caedin in at the same time. Holy schitt.
I'm lost.
Quote from: Daniel on Today at 02:22:09 PMWe've had decent looks. Just can't hit shots . No elite shooters. Still close
Forget elite shooters. I'd take a few serviceable ones.
They had a decent little run and then sub in Jones, Hamilton, and Norman. Three offensively challenged players. Unbelievable
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 02:24:34 PMWe have Sean, Tre, and Caedin in at the same time. Holy schitt.
Power lineup.
Maybe Shaka already checked out ala Buzz
I would saying our shooting sucks, but defense sucks more. That's a problem
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 02:23:09 PM4-18 from 3, 7-16 from the line. That's the biggest story.
Them shooting poorly is not a big story really
Ross has not been good today despite some early buckets. Move the basketball.
This team is hilarious. Just terrible players turning the ball over, missing wide open shots, not knowing where to go on defense, embarrassing themselves every time down the court.
But hey, they're friends.
They evened up the fouls quickly. If this becomes a FT shooting contest we should quit now.
No foul on that? Ben got hammered
How do you leave Blackwell open in the corner?
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 02:23:09 PM4-18 from 3, 7-16 from the line. That's the biggest story.
But I am sure the players all get along in their relationships.
MU got close, then Shaka put in Jones, Hamilton and Norman at same time and Wisky went up 18. Don't blame the players.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 02:28:36 PMHow do you leave Blackwell open in the corner?
We have a very dumb basketball team. Basketball IQ is just horrible.
Muggsy questioned my description of the Badgers offense as "explosive" but they have now scored 50 points in the last 17 minutes of play.
Quote from: HutchwasClutch on Today at 02:25:12 PMThey had a decent little run and then sub in Jones, Hamilton, and Norman. Three offensively challenged players. Unbelievable
That made zero sense.
ZL with a good shot fake, wide open, wide right.
Cmon Zaide. Has to get that reb.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 02:23:09 PM4-18 from 3, 7-16 from the line. That's the biggest story.
that's just insane!
Horrible decision by Ross even if it wasn't a charge. Pass the basketball.
Shaka should be ashamed of himself for thinking this was a competitive team coming into the season. We're a total joke all cause a great Wojo recruiting class and 2 immediate portal adds convinced Shaka he was John Wooden.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 02:28:36 PMHow do you leave Blackwell open in the corner?
Gold just casually closed out on it. It's as if he was surprised there was a shooter there and he thought the ball was being passed out of bounds.
We are plenty bad, but that charge call against Ross was terrible. The defender was neither stationary, or in a legal guarding position, and put both hands on Ross.
Clear defensive foul.
Smart should pull a Norm Dale - my team is on the floor. I'm not sure there's 5 guys I actually want on the floor for MU right now.
Quote from: wisblue on Today at 02:30:00 PMMuggsy questioned my description of the Badgers offense as "explosive" but they have now scored 50 points in the last 17 minutes of play.
Ya. They also couldn't score against TCU. They're getting wide open threes because of our abysmal defense. We help for no reason and constantly.

Shaka's really proving himself an idiot
Try to be the point spread (11) - seems like that's the best we can hope for today
