Let's dig deep and give this team all they can handle. It's time to step-up.

No, it actually won't you piece of crap.

It does that consistently. Annoying as fk.
Here goes nothing.
Ball was off Purdue given to Purdue wth.
Stevens wanted to challenge
Royce should be starting.
Hamilton layup in his face
Ross trying to make the highlight reel.

Yeah still not working. No clue why I pay for a streaming service that doesn't work 50% of the time.

Thatta boy Adrien.
Fking focus!!! Make a freaking chippie!
Sweet Jesus Sean. Move the basketball.
2 absolutely horrific turns by Jones.
Sean looks brutal.
Sean Jones 2 possessions 2 turnovers ugh
Sean is a turnover machine.
On pace for 16 points in the half. It can only go up from here.
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 13, 2025, 01:10:32 PM2 absolutely horrific turns by Jones.
Wtf does Shaka put him in?!?! Fire him for thay alone...

Probably have to re-long in. 🦚 is a piece of crap.
Step back 3 from parham?
I hate this team.
Adrien Stevens is the only one I would be devastated to lose.
Quote from: 1SE on December 13, 2025, 01:11:34 PMWtf does Shaka put him in?!?! Fire him for thay alone...
I have no idea what he's even trying to do those two possessions. He didn't do that as a Frosh. Clearly his head is not in the game.
Outside of Stevens 3 hard to imagine a worse start. Lucky Purdue is missing some open looks.
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on December 13, 2025, 01:11:55 PMI hate this team.
Adrien Stevens is the only one I would be devastated to lose.
I'll miss gold even more then i missed the last down under.
Benny!
Let's go now.
Whoever is Royce's sports psychologist deserves a raise. For him to keep this level of confidence in his shot while shooting 20% from 3 this season is amazing
Weak defense by Chase. Fk.
Need an upgrade over Zaide. He plays so soft. How does he not get that rebound.
5 absolutely inexcusable turnovers. Ridiculous.
Gold.playing well and Shaka takes.him out for.Caedin!?!?
WTF Royce???
6 turnovers ugh
Hard to get optimistic for parham:
Turnovers killing us. We'd be in the lead without 6 turnovers already. And inside defense very weak Wow
Get Nigel abd Adrien back on tbe floor.
NOW.
Royce is beyond infuriating.
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 13, 2025, 01:19:08 PMGet Nigel abd Adrien back on tbe floor.
NOW.
Seriously - is Shaka on the take.in Vegas? He bet heavily against the line?
We are what we thought horrible unfortunately
Quote from: Daniel on December 13, 2025, 01:18:57 PMTurnovers kill g us. We'd be in the lead without 6 turnovers already. Wow
All unforced.
If Shaka is too scared to tell Hamilton to kick rocks after the year, I'd be ok with him getting fired.
I can't take it anymore. I don't ever want to see him play another minute in a Marquette uniform let alone start for 2 more years after this one.
3/10, 2/7
I'm at the point where I would play all three Freshmen as much as possible.
We've kept it close for almost 10 minutes. that's a victory
TOs and RP shot selection killing MU.
Marquette looks consistent.
Sean screwed us against Indiana but I wonder what our record would be without Hamilton
That's an atrocious zone.
Tre Norman was probably the substitution we needed
Quote from: ATL MU Warrior on December 13, 2025, 01:22:30 PMWe've kept it close for almost 10 minutes. that's a victory
It's a 27 point loss pace..
Omfg!! How many lay-ups has Zaide missed this season?
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 13, 2025, 01:19:08 PMGet Nigel abd Adrien back on tbe floor.
NOW.
Agree we need Nigel And Adrien on the Floor immediately
The scoring droughts are brutal.
10-0 Purdue run with Chase and Adriene on the bench.
I'm appalled at the substitutions. It's a cluster fk, totally random, and it appears we're grasping at straws.
What happened to Stevens?
Marquette University has not scored in over Minutes. Purdue 12-0 run. We are Bad!
Quote from: MarquetteMike1977 on December 13, 2025, 01:27:35 PMMarquette University has not scored in 4 over Minutes. Purdue 12-0 run. We are Bad!
That was a gift goaltend. Would have missed that.
Hamilton got so lucky. He was going to blow that layup anyway.
What a pass!
Feels like we don't scout.
Bro missed a wide open layup, worst player in Marquette history
Taking away any good reason to watch the 2nd half
Actually incredible Shaka watched this team practice in the offseason and and was fine w no transfers
Throw Clark out there and see what he looks like against that big guy.
Somehow getting this game on YouTube tv? Thought it was only on peacock but just throwing that out there.
The Hamilton experiment is a failure, at what point does Shaka adjust?
Embarrassing so far
Quote from: Duane6 on December 13, 2025, 01:30:08 PMActually incredible Shaka watched this team practice in the offseason and and was fine w no transfers
Seeing Sean and Hamilton as starters was the most perplexing.
Memo to Chase: You're our best player. Keep us within distance the final 8 mins of the half.
Is Owens on the bench?
I think I'd rather go for a walk outside than watch the 2nd half. The Feels Like temperature is -15
I'm skipping the second half
Tired of seeing double teams at half court, then a dunk by the center, how many more dunks are going to happen before Shaka realizes this does not work!
Sean was always a walking turnover and it was brutal when he would steal minutes from kolek. This whole team makes no sense
Quote from: CountryRoads on December 13, 2025, 01:30:50 PMSeeing Sean and Hamilton as starters was the most perplexing.
Sean didn't start. Why he took out Nigel and Adrien for a long stretch makes no sense to me.

I remember having the same thought in the 3rd or 4th game of the year. I'm thinking it's not going to change

Good cut by Ben.
Quote from: CountryRoads on December 13, 2025, 01:30:13 PMThrow Clark out there and see what he looks like against that big guy.
Yeah, why not, I'd have him on before tre or sean.
Getting killed inside
Parham has to usurp that reb. Fk.
James - Stevens - Ross - parham - gold need to play 35 mins a game rest of the season
Purdue up 7 2 on offensive rebounds and up 7-2 on fouls
This is not a Hamilton or Parham thing or whatever. There is no consistent scoring threat in this team. The defense is weak. And most of the time it looks like playground pick-up ball.
If I were Purdue in this game, just keep going to the glass. We foul, can't rebound, and can't block.
Stevens sat waaay too long so we could play Norman. Brilliant
MAKE A LAYUP!!
Hamilton another lay up in his face
It really is a Caedin Hamilton thing. There is not one thing he is even average at. Literally horrible at everything
"Groundhog Day". Yes. Yes it is.
Chase has been awful thus far. On both ends of the floor.
Embarrassing performance for Purdue so far allowing it to be this close
We can't make layups.
We can't make 3 pointers.
We can't rebound.
We can't really defend in the half court.
I don't get how Shaka felt comfortable going into this season with this roster.
You can tell the Purdue big practices hook shots.
Hamilton, not so much.
Bench Royce. No mid range allowed.
I actually don't hate the effort in general, just gotta make shots
Quote from: MarquetteMike1977 on December 13, 2025, 01:35:39 PMPurdue up 7 2 on offensive rebounds and up 7-2 on fouls
Good thing our 7 footer has 0.min of pt
Why is Sean back in!?!?
I honestly can't fathom watching this team for another 3 months.
News Flash We Are Bad
I don't think it's possible for Clark to be worse than Hamilton.
Will we ever be good again
Parham hits!
If we get transfers. Relationships are overrated
Purdue does not look like a top ten team at all
Let's go now. Maybe that triple opens the floodgates for RP?
Quote from: Duane6 on December 13, 2025, 01:40:35 PMI don't think it's possible for Clark to be worse than Hamilton.

That D on TKR looked really embarrassing. Just kind of whiffed on him. No hands up. Nothing.
Defense is decent so far
Quote from: 1SE on December 13, 2025, 01:40:12 PMWhy is Sean back in!?!?
Nigel had a bad turn. But Sean had several bad turns and stayed in. I don't have an answer. Sorry.
Considering how monumentally poor we have played, and to have it in single digits with the ball is quite amazing
This team tries and the fight..... just need make the shots. A recurring problem this year
This is the best half of the season so far
Alright, why the hell have I been made to watch a University of Dayton commercial twice already? As if the game isn't bad enough
Quote from: Johnny B on December 13, 2025, 01:41:52 PMPurdue does not look like a top ten team at all

We are so undisciplined
Quote from: 1SE on December 13, 2025, 01:40:12 PMWhy is Sean back in!?!?
Sean is hurting us majorly
Shaka's coaching is head scratching
Omg. What a horrible 90 seconds
Down 9 with the ball to down 15 and Purdue the ball. Ugh
What exactly does Sean jones do well. He can't shoot, dribble, pass, and is too small to play good defense
Hahaha was just going to say this half has been going better than expected
Where is Nigel put Nigel back in
Why no time-out like 2 possessions earlier?
Shaka with that stupid snippy response... "watch the game film and tell me when I should call my timeouts". Um... Here?
This was a close game until Shaka put Sean in and took out Nigel!!!!!
Quote from: Duane6 on December 13, 2025, 01:46:40 PMWhat exactly does Sean jones do well. He can't shoot, dribble, pass, and is too small to play good defense
Nigel's been poor so has lowery, no one else to play
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 13, 2025, 01:46:59 PMWhy no time-out like 2 possessions earlier?
Don't you get to turn in your timeouts for points at the end of each half?
On pace for a 30 point blowout.
Hard to imagine worse players than Sean and Hamilton
Quote from: Johnny B on December 13, 2025, 01:47:33 PMNigel's been poor so has lowery, no one else to play
They haven't been worse than Sean.
I'm all for a total restart next year.
Tear it all apart.
This team is actually worse than wojos first year. Didnt think that was possible
Why in the world is Sean getting all these minutes!?!?
Basically run zero offense and jones just shoots a 3. Nevada smith has got to go
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on December 13, 2025, 01:49:20 PMI'm all for a total restart next year.
Tear it all apart.
Agree.
this 9-0 Purdue run is heavily on Sean
What an absolute embarrassment of a team. Had 3+ years to recruit and backfill the roster and this is what we end up with? This is all on Shaka. Ross is beyond overrated, Gold sucks. Period. We're getting dominated by 7 footers and he doesn't have any confidence in Clark to give him a minute on the floor?? If nothing else to use his 5 fouls.
Think about what we are going to look like next year. Back to back 15+ loss seasons is unacceptable. Pathetic. EGBs, RGV, Dominoes, Kills...no longer cute. Get in the portal or get out.
Playing like no one is gonna be here next year
This 9-0 Purdue run is heavily on Sean
Will we get a shot off here in 25 secs?
I was actually pretty pleasantly surprised there for a bit! But then this team's lack of mental fortitude showed up.
I'm cool w Stevens and James. Everybody else can leave
Can't make layups. Ouch. Can't make 3s. Scoring is key problem. More that D. Man.
Another long scoreless streak until Gold's Basket
21 points. How many synonyms do you have for Brutal?
Some relationships are better off ending to allow the other party to grow. It can be a win-win.
Quote from: Duane6 on December 13, 2025, 01:49:36 PMThis team is actually worse than wojos first year. Didnt think that was possible

Quote from: Daniel on December 13, 2025, 01:51:48 PMCan't make layups. Ouch. Can't make 3s. Scoring is key problem. More that D. Man.
Turnovers are also an enormous problem.
Sean needs to go. Can't shoot, turns it over, poor on D, terrible size. Maybe it's mostly the knee injury. Doesn't matter. Need an upgrade there next year.
If there is such a thing as "layup drills" this team severely needs them.

Quote from: Viper on December 13, 2025, 01:52:24 PMWojo had an excuse...rebuild from Buzz' final season. Shaka brought this on himself
Yes. The scary thing is that this is Shaka's first all-Shaka team. These players can shoot better than they have this year. Or the scouting is dismal. But through 10.5 games, they cannot hit shots in games. Pathetic numbers. How do you fix? That's why the coaches get paid .
ZERO FREE throws FIRST HALF, SHOT 31% 3 of 14 from three - so why do we think we are a three point shooting team? The announcers just said we are one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the country.
Been a huge fan of Shaka during his tenure, but if he runs this team back w no transfers next year, he should be fired
Ross 1-5, 2pts. Not good enough obviously.
https://x.com/marquettembb/status/1999930906384191590?s=61&t=VdvDjiXrC0JYT0raW4nA0w

Can't have it that way in all likelihood.
This is just so disgusting. Not at all "fine". Next year is set up to be worse with no changes. Just tear it down now.
Quote from: MarquetteMike1977 on December 13, 2025, 01:48:37 PMHard to imagine worse players than Sean and Hamilton
Too many recruiting misses and bad fits for a team that insists on jacking 3s. This roster and Smith's offense is a match made in hell.

Quote from: jfp61 on December 13, 2025, 01:57:14 PMI'm cool w nobody. They all can leave.
Haha fair enough
Nice of Ross to show up again. 7 pts in his last 44 minutes on the floor. This team is nothing. Who will they beat in conference? 20+ loss season with no relief in sight. If Shaka doesn't hit the portal he needs to go. Pathetic.
Believed it would be a closer first half, then the blowout, did not happen. Believed the staff would have them prepared.
Thought Shaka would cut down on the substitutions. He did not, no consistency with guys playing with each other. Some guys play 3 minutes, then out, then back in with different groups. Not just this game. Oh well.
The offense is back to his usual three ball, with no one who can hit. 3 for 14, on pace for another 30 three attempt game.
Want to see if Owens gets any minutes, if not he is on the serious doo-doo watch.
Can't imagine how bad Owens and Clark are in practice if they can't get PT on this team
They had one week to prepare for Purdue. This is what we get? We were obviously going to lose but this is a joke.
Shaka should return 2.9 of his 3 mil salary for putting this product on the floor !! Sean does absolutely nothing except running up and down the floor! No inside post game! Awful Awful team !
Quote from: MarquetteFan94 on December 13, 2025, 02:02:09 PMThey had one week to prepare for Purdue. This is what we get? We were obviously going to lose but this is a joke.
What'd u expect? Going pretty much how it's predicted to
Sean, Norman, and Lowery are the RGV seniors for next year. Yikes.
I'd trade Ross today for a decent recruit next year. He doesn't make this team better.
Heard Seton Hall has the lowest NIL budget in the conference how are they getting talent.
Marquette is so bad at shooting and everything are we taking one for the the conference this year lol

The thing is, unless you're recruiting nothing but top 50 kids, every coach is going to have misses. Thanks to the portal, coaches can now go out and remedy those misses. Our coach refuses to do this.
Another half. Another showing that leads this team to be on track for a 20-loss season. We have nothing, and that's not an exaggeration. No shooting, no scoring, no defense.
Smart has been wonderful for four years, but with this squad fully and completely his recruits and entrenched with his program philosophy, it is completely appropriate to question whether he is the right guy to not just fix the roster but be entrusted to rebuild the program.
We aren't a player, two players or three players away. Majority of this roster is not developed and/or skilled enough to compete at the high-major level. It has completely fallen off.
Quote from: CountryRoads on December 13, 2025, 02:03:56 PMSean, Norman, and Lowery are the RGV seniors for next year. Yikes.
I almost just cried reading this.
Glass is half full halftime stat. MU is outshooting Purdue from 3.
(21% to 20%)
I must say, that Sandstorm dance from Purdue looks incredibly dorky ;D
It's really not that hard to recruit guys who can shoot the ball. Lowery, Norman, Jones, Hamilton are not D1 basketball players

This is the worst shooting Marquette team ever.
3 in Hamilton's face
Get Caedin off the floor. Immediately. Unfking real.

Pick and roll Sean to Caedin.
Only 3 FT attempts so far!!
Hamilton 2 missed wide open layups. What am I watching
Out scoring Purdue to start 2nd half so we put Sean in and right away we give up 3 more
Anyone notice no Nevada on the bench?

Not even close to P5 level
Quote from: Viper on December 13, 2025, 02:11:03 PM...Phillips too. Hope he sticks around.
Where is he today?
After that missed putback by Caedin, I think I need to put away my iPad because I don't want to type the things in my head right now.
Purdue not even guarding the three point line
I think Purdue is playing their C game to be honest.
Has anyone communicated with Sean And Hamilton what the are doing wrong and how bad they are.
And 95% of our 3 attempts are.wide open looks...
What's wrong with Ross? He looks awful.
Excellent ball movement there, more of that
Great pass from Adrien. A competent big would have flushed that.
Hamilton is a liabi!ity.
Have seen them practice. Take Hamilton and Sean out. Give Clark a chance and build him up
Hamilton laughing as he subs out, I cannot stand this guy
Our bugs are terrible. Purdue drives at will.
Okay what bookie is this team working for?
Quote from: Stretchdeltsig on December 13, 2025, 02:14:34 PMHamilton is a liabi!ity.

The ad was for Dayton U.! Is Fieldhouse hounding us when we have our hands full with Purdue?
We need a better strength coach and a better shooting coach and a better rebounding coach.

Absurd. And that's on him.

Shaka is going to get fired if next year is like this year. Next year is going to be worse.
Might as well speed up the process and just allow the restart next year.
I'm sure Ben learned a lot while being on the bench vs the Philippines.

Might as well speed up the process and just allow the restart next year.
Texas was grateful for Marquette to take him off their hands.

Well he sure as hell has not been effective on the perimeter...his whole career.
I really do not care if these players are nice off the court. Go get some dawgs who want to win
We are embarrassing bad and very soft
Lowery deserves to be gluded to the bench. Pathetic effort

Don't forget dominoes and kills.
Lowery has been a complete disaster. It's painful to watch.
Man MP or DO over ZL would be nice to see.
Wow these announcers are really blasting not using the portal. Wow. Mostly on Shaka. Wow. Too many weaknesses in this lineup. Blasting Shaka big. Whew

And milkshakes. Those are always ice breakers and inclusive.
One might consider putting kids into a situation that they are so overmatched, they have no chance to succeed is a sign of an unhealthy relationship. And it would be better to guide them to a place they have a better chance of success.
Quote from: NCMUFan on December 13, 2025, 02:17:24 PMWell got to give the team credit for making any other team look good.
For much of this Purdue looks pretty average. We are just awful.

winning is what matters. Gets eyeballs, butts in seats, all of it. No different in this new NIL era. Shaka's seat is getting warmer every week.
Quote from: willie warrior on December 13, 2025, 02:30:02 PMAnd milkshakes. Those are always ice breakers and inclusive.
Wonder if they even get them anymore before the game ends lol.
Man, I can't believe that Purdue guy didn't fall for Caedin's shot fake from 3
Every Shaka platitude is an absolute embarrassment to himself at this point. It only works when you have players. This roster is bottom half of the Horizon League. Ironically, where we were during the last time MU was this awful.
Quote from: willie warrior on December 13, 2025, 02:26:32 PMWell he sure as hell has not been effective on the perimeter...his whole career.
Correct. But sadly he's been one of our better perimeter players this particular game. He just tried to score over a 7'4 guy inside. It didn't go well.

It's been brought up by announcers/analysts numerous times, almost every game. Its the "talking point" MU basketball is noted for now, not their actual play.
Quote from: connie on December 13, 2025, 02:30:15 PMFor much of this Purdue looks pretty average. We are just awful.
I don't know, Purdue is a pretty complete team. They are just so damn efficient and clinical.
How bd are Owens, Phillips and Clark to not see the floor. Guess I answered my own question. Wonder where Phillips will play next year.

Shaka has the long term strategy and the path. Just be patient. There is always next year. We are only one player away from the promised land...or two...or three... or five.
We desperately need shooters.

The announcers are blasting us for not using portal. We will see what Shaka does next. This group is not a group that will do well and next year - who knows. A couple of key portal picks would help.
Quote from: MarquetteFan94 on December 13, 2025, 02:26:16 PMTexas was grateful for Marquette to take him off their hands.
Shaka was grateful he found soft landing. He was getting fired soon and he knew it.

Lol. A goaltend 3 from Chase.

Agree! And will say it again since this is painful to watch ugh! According to Shaka it Seems this year Fans do not matter and wins matter but not as much as relationships among his team unfortunately
Nearly 15% of our points have come from goaltends
Shaka is still a very good coach. Half of the job is getting good players. Just completely unacceptable at a program like Marquette

We may not be using the portal, but we are using the potty, because the team stinks.
I have to believe morale is really low on this team right now. Can't imagine sitting on the bench and watching this awful performance game after game much less the frustration of playing with such underperformers
Here is my opinion on our high hedge:
Take an 🪓 to it.
Hate to say it, but I think we lose to Purdue's second team.
Ross hits a wide open mid range jumper and scoop implodes

We're a national joke never using the portal. Hope everyone here who told us to trust Shaka are happy.
Can we please see some of the other players?
James got fouled 2 times no call
I never want to see Gold high hedge again.
Losing is frustrating enough...but against any team that's good we get crushed! This is crazy!
DO is on the floor.

As bad as the past two Saturdays have been, we may (hopefully) look back as these games as those that dragged Shaka -perhaps kicked and screaming - into the modern world of college hoops.

Fans don't matter. My seat prices last year were jacked up significantly to watch this bullcrap.
Marquette is incredibly easy to defend against. You can just put whoever is guarding jones or Hamilton in the paint
Quote from: HutchwasClutch on December 13, 2025, 02:32:48 PMShaka was grateful he found soft landing. He was getting fired soon and he knew it.

If he's too stupid to see it without this happening, do we really want him as coach??? Half this board saw this coming a mile away.
It'd be hilarious if DO hits 5 threes now that he's playing
Does your Peacock feed suck? I was just curious. Ty.

Won't happen.
Shaka has turned Marquette into a joke this year
The way SS has destroyed this program is astonishing.
He's clueless. They are an embarrassment.
WT ( actual ) F !?!?
Chase fixing his headband while Purdue drills a 3. Absolutely unbelievably ridiculous.
Unless Matt Painter takes mercy soon, we're getting doubled up today, aren't we?
Quote from: Pakuni on December 13, 2025, 02:39:24 PMRefs are killing us.
No, our inferior play is killing us.
It hurts watching this team play. They can't shoot or rebound.
Quote from: Pakuni on December 13, 2025, 02:41:52 PMUnless Matt Painter takes mercy soon, we're getting doubled up today, aren't we?
I think he is already taking mercy, and we still can't stop them
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on December 13, 2025, 02:41:31 PMChase fixing his headband while Purdue drills a 3. Absolutely unbelievably ridiculous.
Could get a montage going. Sean with his hair last game, Chase this game...

It's nice to have MU talked about, but not when the topic is: "How do they salvage something?"
As stubborn as Shakas been... really hope he feels some heat and shame for this embarrassment of a team
Quote from: willie warrior on December 13, 2025, 02:41:09 PMWon't happen.
That will be shocking. Shaka will just flush his career down the toilet? I seriously doubt that.
Quote from: 21Jumpstreet on December 13, 2025, 02:42:35 PMI think he is already taking mercy, and we still can't stop them
There's only so much another coach can do against a non competitive opponent.
I have a new metric, sweat.
Does our team sweat?
The team that sweats the most wins the most.
I'm watching P vs. Butler, a lot of sweating going on.
Jones Norman James Lowry 50 minutes 0 points
And ... frankly, I think SS is too stupid / stubborn to make changes. He will
He's getting dragged by everyone that knows anything about college hoops.
But. RGV baby ... >:(

Play MP extended mins. Give him a chance.
Phillips has the best shot form on the team and it's not close
Quote from: geps on December 13, 2025, 02:44:54 PMJones Norman James Lowry 50 minutes 0 points
Holy Hell.
"Everyone tells me to play Phillips more.."
Maybe listen?
Hamilton made an open layup let's go
Sean is not mentally there.
Ahem, DO
Sean out here chucking for some reason.
Catch the ball Caedin!!
This hurts and is painful to watch
Sean is God awful.. it's amazing how like a majority of the roster needs to transfer down
Notwithstanding Oklahoma, I have seen 0.0 evidence this team is capable of beating a top 100 team.
I love the Sean Jones step back 3s
We have WAY too many projects on our team that are currently good at nothing.
Purdue has guys I've never seen or heard of making tough contested step back jumpers. How can we not find any shooters?
Start Parham
Start all three Frosh.
Quote from: ATL MU Warrior on December 13, 2025, 02:52:38 PMI love the Sean Jones step back 3s
Jones is 0 for 4 today, 3 for 16 for the year (18%). But keep on doing the three ball thing.
High knees falls for the head flinch
Quote from: MUEng92 on December 13, 2025, 02:40:38 PMIt'd be hilarious if DO hits 5 threes now that he's playing
Never mind
Garbage time run so shaka can pretend it was close .
Honestly, Josh had a lapse there on D but he seems to be less out of position than Caedin
It's so weird seeing an MU player hit a 3
MP2 needs more mins too. H
Plillips should play ahead of Norman and lowery
Quote from: JakeBarnes on December 13, 2025, 02:59:57 PMHonestly, Josh had a lapse there on D but he seems to be less out of position than Caedin
Hamilton belongs in the Horizon. Clark is a project but at least can impact the game with his size. Zero reason to have both on the roster next year. Need to cut Hamilton.
Sad state of affairs. This team does nothing well.
Sean Jones should transfer to a
Horizon League team ... if anyone would even take him. He's a joke.
We need our whole Junior class to leave after the year.
Sean see ya.
Zaide see ya.
Tre see ya.
Then use their spots for the portal and we could be ok. I have zero confidence in that happening. But we need it.

He had some real promise. He looks not up for the big moment.
We're at least consistent...play a good team lose by 20.

Something went awry with this team's offseason development program. Outside of arguably Chase, no returning player came back better this year than they ended last. And several regressed from last season or, in Sean's case, the last time he was on the court.
