0 points and 2 rebounds from our 2 centers. Imagine where this team might be if Shaka wasn't afraid to "recruit over" Caedin Hamilton.

Probably beat Dayton, Probably beat Oklahoma, probably beat Georgetown, probably beat Seton Hall.

Stevens is capable of attacking the paint.  We have 3 guards  that have the necessary skill-set imo.  It's about playing more consistently and together. 

Our bigs are a different story.  RP has to be more patient, perhaps slow down, and learn how to get clean looks more consistently.  I'd like to see him play off of two feet more.

Thought of you when Shaka said it in the huddle. What an awesome response by the guys after the first five, and they aren't even playing all that well yet. Keep it close and you never know, might steal one

Tre, Sean, and Caedin are the dead weight entering next year, but I'm okay with keeping one of them as a third-string veteran type. Tre had been looking like the guy I'd be most content with keeping around, but Caedin does have (by far) the most upside of these guys and it'd be nice for him to tighten up his game, contest Tre for that hypothetical last roster spot. Couple nice little offensive moments for him.

Quote from: BLWarrior91 on Today at 07:52:42 PMDid anyone actually subscribe to Peacock to be able to see this debacle?  Last year I would've found a way to watch.  This year I simply don't care and I'm sure that many feel the same way.  Sad.

Not only that, I paid for season tickets. It's like the old joke about hitting myself in the head with a hammer. I'm hoping it will feel good when the season is over. It can't feel worse, can it?

Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 07:47:25 PMWithout question the worst MU team since I remember my first game, when I was 6, in '90.

You have been saying this every game in last few weeks and get extremely worked up. Did you expect them to win? Why upset? MU was bullied tonight by legit SJU bigmen being covered by two zero rated redshirt projects. There are 13 games left....
The seasons over, it's now just a chance for players to get experience.  I just hope some young players or the redshirts on bench don't have bad thoughts in their minds, like I not sticking around for this.

If Tre Norman enters portal, would any team pick him up?  Comes in game, fouls immediately, then turnover, then turnover.  With MU down a guard, he plays 6 minutes.  Shaka giving Owens/Phillips minutes now, keep them happy. Thats Shaka's job now or end of year could get ugly.

Quote from: Viper on Today at 07:53:59 PMmy Dad is an alum. I was 9 in '74 watching the title game on tv with him when we played SkyWalker David Thompson & NC State. Hooked ever since. I'm beyond frustrated...embarrassed for our great program, and this includes the Dukiet years in the '80's.

Exactly! My circumstances are similar. Agree We have already lost 5 games by 20 POINTS OR MORE this year!! Dukiet's games were closer! This is the worst Marquette team I have seen since the 1960s!!!!!!

The rest can all leave. Keep the freshmen, the recruits, and hit the portal.

We were way oversold on parham and Owens.
