I've seen enough, fire Shaka. Whatever blackmail Caedin has on him is probably enough to fire Shaka for cause.

Ha! I know you are joking but it does not make sense unless Ben is hurt.
Quote from: panda on December 17, 2025, 07:24:40 PMGtown can't defend the hook shot
Lucky for them that Caedin can't shoot the hook shot.
MU won't cover
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Hopefully, tonight is that first step.
Why would Ben be out of the startling line up what is Shock daddy thinking :-*
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 17, 2025, 07:31:59 PMWill we win? That's all that matters.
Loss if MU doesn't cover
What on earth is Shaka doing?
Shaka obviously did not read the paint touches article today.
MU or Gtown "could be the 3rd team" in tbe BEast???? Oh...okay.
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on December 17, 2025, 07:35:02 PMWhat on earth is Shaka doing?
It's a mystery. But maybe Caedin goes off?

I honestly thought I may have accidentally changed the channel to a different game
I feel Shaka is just trolling us at this point.
Thatta boy Nigel! LFG!
Zero resistance fron Caedin inside.
Count that! Play the Freshmen.
So, Caedin is an opener?

Ben coming in 2 minutes in, you may be correct. No, really.
Don't have any idea what the pont was of Hamilton/Gold.
Freshman doing the scoring
Idiotic pass from Chase.
I fear for Nigels knees :-X
Who's worse in 3pt shooting?
Nigel and Steven's all 9 points time to quickly take both out?
Didn't expect that from Tre.
Interesting line-up.
DO in in the 1st half? What is going on
Shaka subbing like crazy again
No Zaide yet.
Shaka's substitutions are bewildering.
Quote from: Johnny B on December 17, 2025, 07:49:36 PMNigel and Steven's all 9 points time to quickly take both out?
Catch the ball Caedin.
Caedin, what was the point of swatting that out of bounds?
wtf is caedin doing at any given moment
Sean Jones playing some good D and a 3!
Strong rebound from DO.
DO fab rebound. Need much more of that.
Some good minutes from DO.
Jones looking...good?

Ha, that's what I assume opposing coaches say in timeouts, "we don't need to guard them out here"

Excellent point.
Sean needs to kick that.
sean is just too small
Missing layups. Ugh
Why are we doubling on that spot on the floor?
RP!
Just a dumb force by Chase. Move the fking ball.
Damarious!!
DO proving unexpected benefits
Ugh. Not sure I love 3 subs here.
DO going from our worst player to being viable would be nice
Don't play the bums and we actually look competent. Shocking
It begs the question...why has the young man been glued to the bench?
Did Phillips just high 5 DO's forehead?
Why did Shaka take DO out??!!!
Zaide must be deep in the doghouse.
Excellent D by Adrien.
Did I see Sean and Nigel on the floor at the same time?
Quote from: MUEng92 on December 17, 2025, 08:03:26 PMDid Phillips just high 5 DO's forehead?
Can make 3s, can't slap 5s.
Georgetown is the worst team in the big east. look worse than CMU and valpo

Lol.
Deep analytical work by Steve Smith.

Got a gift call there.
How do we miss so many layups?

Caedin Hamilton has no clue where he is on the court at any time
DO!!!

Nice dime by Sean!
I pray this DO shows up from here on out.
Quote from: Daniel on December 17, 2025, 08:12:14 PMNow THAT was a great dime by jones
He's played well minus the forced 1 on 3.
Chase hasn't scored. 0-5 from the field.
NM
Why
is
Caedin
on
the
floor?
Benny! Another good play by JTY.
11 is there only player
Time for a little Clark on the inside
Man we go through these droughts on offense and defense and it is costly. - one more ,ade shot we would have been up by 10 - double digits could be a psych number. Alright settle down and Go. Marquette!
Ben

Get that reb Ben!! Fk
5 point possession and then absolutely no clue against the zone.
Ughh. DO wide open against that weak zone. See the freaking floor Tre.
5 pt defensive possessions are not optimal
Love DO getting run. Some of the other personnel choices... wtf?
And a horrible possession.
Jones and Norman in the backcourt, can it be any worse!
Caedin back on the court.
Shaka trying every permutation with this roster
I don't love plus minus stat but Hamilton may be minus one billion tonight
Owens!
Chase burned backed door.
DO!
Quote from: Johnny B on December 17, 2025, 08:20:16 PMShaka trying every permutation with this roster
And not effectively.
Chase has been pretty bad.
our staff is dumb.. georgetown is beating us with zone and you brought James and Jones on the court together.
Owens should have been playing a lot in all of the previous games. Guys got talent. Ride through the mistakes
Oh wow. Up 9. Down 1. Need to get our stuff together.
Is Clark that bad, that he does not get some of Caedins minutes?
Hamilton just missed like 7 loose balls in a row a least
Quote from: Johnny B on December 17, 2025, 08:22:00 PMOwens should have been playing a lot in all of the previous games. Guys got talent. Ride through the mistakes
Valid argument.
Brutal half for Ross.
Finally.
Quote from: Daniel on December 17, 2025, 08:22:12 PMOh wow. Up 9. Down 1. Need to get our stuff together.
This team doesn't go cold. They go deep freeze. Even down 1, I still think they look way better this game.
DO had Adrien on his left there.
Terrible execution there. Know time and score. Very upsetting
We are so very bad!!
lol
I can't watch this crap. I might need to take the year off
I'm sorry but Shaka fked up the last 45 sec sequence. Can't happen.
Oh that's right, MU is not good this year. I forgot for the first few minutes of this game
We still don't know how to attack a zone defense.
Shaka never felt the need to use a timeout during that 17-4 run, or whatever it was.
Was probably one of the better halves of the season for this team and still down.
Good lord - we suck worse than GT who is playing on the road without their top player.
Is this the bottom yet?
Georgetown sucks...but do we suck worse? Everything was looking slightly promising only to end the half very poorly.
Will Zaide be on the team next year? Shaka testing him to step up more?
Hamilton starting with Gold coming off the bench is comedic.
Owens with a pulse is the best thing to happen
These guys are bad.
Every game I just can't find one thing Hamilton does even average. Dude needs to be glued to the bench. We get hammered on the boards anyway, and it's not like he's a good rebounder. Sure he is a nice kid, but woof.
Does Hamilton have blackmail on Shaka? Worst player I've ever seen
Our interior defense is bad. And Georgetown can't shoot threes -except vs. us - why ate we giving them the inside? Down against Georgetown at home when we had a 9 point lead is troubling.
Not getting the substitution patterns. Seems random. Disorganized.
GU 67% OR% in the first half. Our good defensive rebounder Ben spent more than half the game on the bench, including to start the game. GO EFFIN FIGURE.
I swear if Scoop - even with the input from some of the nutzo dummies on here - decided PT allocation and lineups, we can easily win this game. But, no.. we have who we have on the sidelines. And the decisions are crazy wild. (Dumb & Dangerous, you might say).
Caedin Hamilton is the worst player to ever wear a Marquette uniform. He couldn't defend a statue and he couldn't score over one either. Aside from that, we had some positives.
Hamilton played 11 minutes.
1 total rebound.
I am so f'n perplexed.
Owen's has as many rebounds as our entire starting lineup.

He would high five the statue and make it feel good about itself though.
Quote from: Shooter McGavin on December 17, 2025, 08:27:30 PMNot getting the substitution patterns. Seems random. Disorganized.
It is random. And as VBMG said, Shaka did not call a time-out during that 17-4 run. What on earth would be the reasoning for that?
Owens played well. That was a nice change. MU played decently for about 8 minutes. Reverted to recent form the last 5 minutes. No clue against the zone. Getting killed on the glass.
The heavy subbing..don't get it. Guys cant get into a flow. Ending the half with GTown going on a 17-4 run in last 4:56 - brutal finish.
Shocked to see Zaide buried on the bench..clearly trying to lit a fire under him.
And..Hamilton has been just brutal - his worst game to date which is saying something.
Quote from: CountryRoads on December 17, 2025, 08:30:26 PMHe would high five the statue and make it feel good about itself though.
And clap after losing the ball out of bounds while guarded by the statue.
I seriously do not understand all the substitutions, no flow whatsoever, Norman and Caedin should be at the end of the bench. GTown is bad, but MU might be worse. Good half for Ben and Chase.
Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on December 17, 2025, 08:28:39 PMHamilton played 11 minutes.

But the GU center who averages 11 ppg has been held to 13 in the 1st half.

You didn't see Don Smolinski. Of course, he didn't play any real minutes.
I know this isn't breaking news: we have severe problems.
Nigel
Chase
Stevens
Royce
Gold
Jones
Owens
Zaide
Phillips
You want to go 9 deep, this should be it.
Hamilton and Norman shouldn't see the floor.
These rotations are insanity.
Quote from: MuggsyB on December 17, 2025, 08:33:13 PMI know this isn't breaking news: we have severe problems.
And right now, Shaka is one of them. And I love Shaka.
Halaifonua 13 points 3 rebounds
Hamilton/Gold 2 points 2 rebounds. Remember, Kam Jones said "Hamilton gonna be a problem".
Georgetown had 12 offensive rebounds and that is what really hurt MU in first half.
Georgetown' best player is sick as a dog, MU's best player played like a dog. Long way to go, cannot lose another home game to a team of this caliber.
Quote from: nyg on December 17, 2025, 08:35:48 PMRemember, Kam Jones said "Hamilton gonna be a problem".
Well, it's true!
Actually starting to think Hamilton plays so much bc Shaka loves his EGBs which has nothing to do with basketball..
Zaide must be in the dog house. Maybe he is another player getting the front door in the future.
One of these days it'll click for Shaka that the other team will throw zone at us. When it does, it'll be glorious. (https://media.tenor.com/mSI9wkQDVw4AAAAM/roblox-mighty-omega.gif)

Maybe just first half punishment. Then he comes in and goes off in the second?! Probably not.
It is disheartening to see these 5 minute collapses hame after game. Probably too many players playing. Tighten the rotation .man. Georgetown is not that good tonight. We just happen to be playing worse. I don't get it.
I tbink we find a way to win this game.
Against a crappy team, mind you.
If we don't, we move from Defcon 1 to Defcon Zero.
You don't need to sit lowery the whole game to "light a fire". Just silly stuff. Put em out there. If he's not playing hard pull em.
Only down by four. We can make it up quickly.
Still in the fight.
I do not know how good Sheek is going to be but I know he is skinny. Shaka needs to find another center next year with some girth who can get off the floor.
Quote from: Jay Bee on December 17, 2025, 08:36:49 PMWell, it's true!
Oh, a problem for MU....... That Georgetown New Zealand guy destroying MU
He had to play more minutes because Parham had two fouls. See what happens in second half. No more Norman, Jones and Hamilton on floor at same time. That started the Georgetown run.
Hamilton in foul trouble, hell yea
11 secs and I've seen enough of Caedin.
Finally. 3 fouls on Hamilton.
Quote from: Duane6 on December 17, 2025, 08:42:36 PMHamilton in foul trouble, hell yea
Good for our chances
Foul trouble for GT, Hamilton has 3
Caedin!!!
I like Hamilton's moxie.
Hamilton silences the haters for a second.
Nearly an offensive foul with the elbow
I hope we don't win another game
But betting against MU is still paying my bills
WTF?

Unfortunately, they didn't completely miss it
4 on Ham?
Caedin gets one of his first effective baskets of the season and elbows a guy in the face in the process.
You can't make this stuff up.
Probably best if he just gets a flagrant and sits the rest of the game

Called a made basket?

MU plays at an offensive pace its talent cannot support.
We have 0.0 interior D.

He would have to change a lot of things Dr.V. Beginning with basic fundamentals and at least a semblance of touch within 4 feet.
Why do I do this to myself? I could have just sat on my couch upstairs and scrolled X and Instagram for 2.5 hours
Thatta boy Adrien. Big shot.
Why does Gold come in so quickly off the bench.
Let's go now!
Jeesh. Atrocious transition D.
How do the teams we play get a guy alone under the basket so often?

Bizzare lineup

Shaka cannot find a lineup that works. Problem all season. It might be the players. Or development. Or both.

I'm pretty much out of ideas, and I'm sure Shaka feels that way a lot of the time too.

DO keeping us alive.
Can't believe some idiots around here said DO should get some run.

Not sure who would win the girls C team or Marquette men's team
I wonder how often Georgetown actually plays zone against other teams. They been in a zone for basically the last 25 minutes of this game.
Hamilton has to be point shaving.. has to be
Get fking Caedin off the fking floor. NOW.
Man, Hamilton is just not at this level.
For the love of god Caedin make a freaking layup
Another point-blank missed layup.
Quote from: Johnny B on December 17, 2025, 09:07:25 PMHamilton has to be point shaving.. has to be

Can someone check if Shaka has any betting connections
Boy am I upset right now. Totally inexcusable garbage we are witnessing.
Can Ham not jam?
this team is very poorly coached
Chris Grimm is Patrick Ewing compared to Caedin Hamilton.
Hamilton just missed a layup
Terrible rebounding, awful defense, chucking up layups that are a hope and a prayer. No offense. I am done watching tonight and maybe for the season.
Not sure why Stevens has sat so much this game.
We literally look like a 7th grade rec team. That's not hyperbole.

I might actually prefer they lose by 10
We are lacking focus. We create shots. Don't hit them. And on D, wow — good effort for 10 seconds then we
Ose focus again ugh
Ole
They are torching us in the paint.
Ross needs to sit for a minute.
We are going to be hammered down low all year.
Omfg.
Has a team ever been this bad at layups?
Will Shaka call a time out???
I can't watch this anymore. Good night
Ross is 1-10 and 0-4 from 3 tonight.
Cause he played well but Shaka has to play his favorites.
Quote from: Norm on December 17, 2025, 09:11:01 PMNot sure why Stevens has sat so much this game.
We have dug a hole again. We were down 3. Now 9 ugh
DO has proved pretty conclusively tonight that he's not good being the ball handler on a break.
Wait until the game is effectively over before calling timeout.
Great. Now we call the t-o.
Getting run out of the gym...
This is much more like it.
An 0-20 Big East season is very much on the table for this team. My goodness are they awful.
I only watched from the under 8 timeout to the under 4 in the 2nd half.
This team is terrible. The basketball on both ends is bad
Last game I'll watch live this season. F this.
Knew we were losing this game when Hamilton started and in the pregame all they talked about was relationships
I'm afraid the Big East is going to be too much for us. DePaul will be too much for us. This team cannot focus for a whole game. That's a staff issue. Wow.
Anyone have a miracle they can spare?
Moronic coaching from Shaka tonight. no time outs. Wack line ups. Where is Stevens. Where is lowery? just a mess
Wins do not matter Marquette is building relationships
I don't know what's worse, the lack of talent or the inept coaching.
MU three happy again, 6 for 23, Gold and Ross zero, but those missed short ones are deadly.
Getting the popcorn ready, this board going to go Defcon Sub Zero.

Why do you suppose that is Daniel? I agree that the focus is non existent.
Wow. MU is so bad. Their position D is atrocious. Screw the deflections. Stay in front of someone. Parham is really a bad position defender. Two bad teams and MU is the worse of the two. Owens played better, but his decision making with the ball is really bad.
It's crazy how fast Shaka has obliterated all the goodwill he built up over the last four seasons.
Nice senior leadership by Ross tonight.

Just have to laugh at this joke

And Ben lol. Dudes scared to touch the ball

Senior year choke job in progress. Scouts won't touch him with a 10 foot pole.
Between him and Gold, total joke.
MU was favored by 3.5 tonight.

He's been worse than abysmal this evening. So frustrating.
The hot seat discussion has been rightfully brushed off to this point, but I think it's time we have a chat.
This is an abomination
If we had a bunch of talent that just wasn't meshing well....I could get my head wrapped around it. This BS of a team I can't comprehend. How on earth did Shaka think this would go well? Seriously. Did he know they would suck and just didn't care. Or is his talent evaluation and roster construction skills literally worse than everyone on this message board? One of those two things must be true. Which is it?
Well, I think everyone on Scoop has seen that the RGV experiment is a failure except probably the Shaka Slurpers.

Not many were complaining the first 4 years. The problem is this is Shaka's first full Shaka team. That is the scary part. His comments after the Purdue game referenced Purdue bit Ckuff from the portal and he was terrific even though they had a string team returning. Hmmm.

Ross, Gold and Owen's are 1 for 12 from three, Owen's the only good one.
I realize Lowery the current doghouse guy, taking over from Owen's, but why doesn't Steven's play more.
"down 11? Let's run the shot clock down to 12 then hoist a bad 3fga we could have had anytime!!"
Really like Nigel but looks like another guard that can't shoot the 3 . Great
Whew. Losing a home game to Georgetown. Yikes.
This game was poorly coached. And on a lot of levels.
Are we gonna get the Tower Ten?

It got walked up to -5.5 last time I looked.
Quote from: Daniel on December 17, 2025, 09:38:26 PMWhew. Losing a home game to Georgetown. Yikes.
With their top scorer sick and completely ineffective. And our top only made one more FG than he did
Goodnight fellow Scoopers.
No minutes available for Lowery or Clark in all of that?
Quote from: rocky_warrior on December 17, 2025, 09:40:03 PMIt got walked up to -5.5 last time I looked.
6.5 on the Score app
Georgetown was depleted and is just bad in general but some how MU is even worse. Hard to process
According to kenpom it's our worst loss of the year.

Could be wrong but I'd guess DePaul at home is the only potential worse loss. and barely

I have been unable to find his post game comments from Purdue game. Do you have a link? Thanks in advance.

Dude stopped posting post game threads for clear reasons. Even he can't come up with one positive point to take from these sh it shows

Probably, but Maryland/Buzz has a say in this.
0-20 is possible in conference play...

Did you see Xavier tonight?

Yeah it was atrocious but X has multiple wins against power conference teams. Probably ahead of us
Good news...there will be quality basketball played on our court on Friday night. RED hosts Nova.

I'd give it a 30% chance of happening.

More like 3% chance. As bad as MU is they're bound to be hot from 3 in a few games and/or the opponent inevitably will be cold that MU will almost certainly eke out a a win or 2. :0

Have you seen us shoot? Or play defense?

Marquette is likely to head into the X game on a 6 game losing streak, I don't see any chance we win @Creighton, vs SHU, or @UConn. They'll be desperate...or defeated. Unsure.

Correct. We're not beating those teams.
Was pumped when they announced Royce was starting but that changed fast when they announced Hamilton. If Hamilton starts again I may need counseling lol
My Grandparents had season tickets and Have been going to Marquette games for about 60 years since my parents took me and this might be the worst Marquette team I can remember seeing unfortunately.

Why does the fiserv no longer show replays on fouls? It's making a miserable experience even worse.

To keep us focused on the terrible refereeing as showing the foul call would show that we did foul, that we were a half step slow, that we were lazy on defense.
