Title: Beat the Friars!
Post by: Warrior of Law on January 18, 2026, 08:38:13 AM
Let's get that winning streak started again (or at least another W). With home games vs. Butler and DePaul still to come, there is distinct hope that MU avoid finishing last in the league. Fire up the deflections and rebounding and MU can finish ahead of 3-4 teams. Which is another way of saying the bottom of the Big East is absolute trash.

I went to a Dominican HS-Fenwick-in the Chicago burb of Oak Park. Even though it was many decades ago, I remember the Dominicans well but not fondly. I would love to punch that creepy Dominican mascot but A) I would be punching a student, who would probably then beat the crap out of me and B) I'd wind up in the slammer.  I'll settle for a win over Providence, but considering what they did to St. Johns, Creighton and almost did to UCONN, it is a tall order.

I think there is benefit to finishing last in the league.
Last in the league would absolutely demand change.
7th or 8th place could allow for "we have seen some growth, let's just tweek it."

I'm not sure where 3,4 or 5 wins would land us in the standings,  but if that doesn't show or motivate Shaka to make changes, he's no longer the man for MU.

IMO, Shaka has seen the light, will change course and is our best option to restore the program.
