Did Levering say this is the most fun Shaka has had coaching???
Over 167.5 looking incredible folks!!
Did the announcers just say that Shaka is having the most fun coaching this season?
You bet me to it.
Will Ross show up in tbe 2H today?
Benny!!
Ben has to be on the floor even with some of his issues.
Both of Ben's threes...

I'm enjoying 1st half chase lately. 2nd half chase.....
No score graphic is an interesting choice. Figures they do it when we're winning.

If I was in charge, he wouldn't be back after this time-out. And he could take LaPhanso with him. What an absolutely absurd statement. :)
This team is improving. Let's see if bench can sustain.

DO looks to be turning a bit of a corner.
That was a nice mid-air adjustment.
All these breakaways are awesome!
Powell is one ugly dude
Not exactly a defensive clinic.
Nice finger roll from NJ.
And apparently not a very high basketball IQ

Not a great sign we're not up bigger. Have to play defense with far more force and intelligence. Stop the ball, box out with power and rudimentary fundamentals.
Great take by AS.
Count that! LFG!
Man. Beautiful zip pass from NJ to Ben.
Gotta D reb.

Quote from: ATL MU Warrior on Today at 05:12:48 PMNo score graphic is an interesting choice. Figures they do it when we're winning.
I'm pretty sure that's because they had to go back and fix the graphics. They had MU's record under PC and vice versa.
Another good 1st half offensively but Friday was an indication that a good 1st half doesn't mean much at all.
Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 05:41:44 PMAnother good 1st half offensively but Friday was an indication that a good 1st half doesn't mean much at all.
Offense great but defense and rebounding is brutal. Super sub Norman just gives them three freebeeies.
Damn. Hate that foul.
Let's get a bucket here.
Thatta boy Adrien.
KABOOM!!!
Excellent close to the half.
So why is Tre Norman on this team?
He played one minute and was a -6....
And 5 of those points were on the guy he was guarding....
No $hit.....
Nice finish. Let's hope they come out for the second half with the same energy.

Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 05:48:20 PMDamn. Hate that foul.
Norman fouling on three shot, three points
Gold fouling five feet outside the three line, with two seconds on clock, two points
Five free points. Stupid.
Glad they just showed an exterior shot of the Milwaukee Pubic Market
Was at DePaul game, also very good first half like tonight. Seeing improvement on offense, moving the ball, bit more energy.
Pretty obvious we need to roll with freshman and sophomores plus chase and Ben.
We were not aggressive or physical enough in 2nd H v DePaul. Hope for better intensity tonight.
nm
It's time for Chase to play a full 40 min game.
I just want to be up by 8 or more at the U16. Please.
Wow. I, sad to say that o didn't even know they were playing til I got a half time update on my phone. This is how low I have sunk this year in enthusiasm. Ok. I have to snap out of it. Go Marquette!
Good cut by RP.
It's time to D the F up. Our zone is a disaster.
Quote from: Jay Bee on Today at 06:03:47 PMI just want to be up by 8 or more at the U16. Please.
Welp... it's another #ShakaSecond
This is the Marquette I know.
Out defense is an absolute sieve.
Stop the freaking ball!!!!
First team to 100 wins!
My goodness. It's a lay-up line. Inexcusable.
How many easy layups can we give up in one game?
Playing great offensively and only up by 2.
A stop once in a while too much to ask?
So Vaaks is a 21-year-old freshman who played professionally in Europe?
Absolutely the worst team defense money can buy.
I am amazed at the predominance of one on one, and the defense. Yes we created some turnovers but if we don't get them, wow.
Quote from: Warrior of Law on Today at 06:29:12 PMAbsolutely the worst team defense money can buy.
That is what happens when Hamilton is on the bench.
Quote from: Norm on Today at 06:28:39 PMSo Vaaks is a 21-year-old freshman who played professionally in Europe?
Yes.
We should have a Baltics scout.
Levering should stick to baseball.
Tremendous dime and cut!!
LFG!
That should be our ball.
Snag D rebs with 2 hands.
Vaaks is absolutely killing us. Find him.
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 06:32:25 PMYes.
We should have a Baltics scout.
How long have European pros been able to have NCAA eligibility?
We dribble out of shots.
Quote from: Viper on Today at 06:43:54 PMWe dribble out of shots.

Yes.
Chase witb one point in the 2H. He must step the F up .
Does Ben need glasses? He cannot catch the ball.
Quote from: #UnleashJosh on Today at 06:46:37 PMDoes Ben need glasses? He cannot catch shoot the ball.
After 3.5 years, I've given up on him ever putting some arc on his shot
Sweet Jesus. Make a ft.
Why doesn't Parham take his guy? He'll take him to the paint, then kick out.
Wow this kids hot
Why do choke at the end of every game?
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 06:48:02 PMSweet Jesus. Make a ft.
Prov. 17 for 19
MU. 11 for 18
Don't ask for rebounds, might puke.
MU three happy, not going. Oh well.
The awful defense is unacceptable. We either suck or bad coaching. Or both.
Same story, different night. Can we change the ending tonight? Start by guarding the two guys who are killing us from three.
Same old story late game 🍎
This team will be better with Chase Ross gone from the offense. It's just not tenable to have him be one of the main guys demanding the ball in his hands when he literally cannot dribble with his right hand. When he gets the ball the opposition knows exactly what's about to happen, either a head-down straight line run toward the rim, or he slows it all down to probe and do nothing. Impossible to get into any sort of passing rhythm when his next move is so easily telegraphed every single time.
Also, make a free throw
For Ben's sake, we're counting that as an assist.
Beautiful finish by Nigel there. LFG!
Yuck ross
Shaka takes Nigel out?
Wow, maybe both teams are shaving points now?
Free throws again.
FT's matta.
Team of chokers.
Chase forcing is not good offense. How many times must we say this???
Chase is just horrible offensively in the halfcourt. Horrible decisions and horrible execution, never bothered to learn a single dribble move or an extremely basic ability to move to his right
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 06:58:13 PMFree throws again.
12 for 20, with a front end miss in tie game.
Ross killing MU on offense with wild drive shots
And two more made freethrows by PU.
Worst high major in the sport but at least they made the last 2 losses entertaining for a half.
Get a STOP!
Need some tough D now and no fouls. Tough. But have time
I just can't get that mad at Shaka when his players refuse to execute. They do it for 20 mins in a row, then they clam up and cannot make a jumper or a free throw for the next 20. Obviously it's on him to recruit better and drop the stubbornness about the portal this offseason, but in the meantime he's trying to strategize victory out of players who have just left 10+ points at the FT line in consecutive down-to-the-wire games. The players need to be better, these are not crazy expectations and they're just failing.
Nigel's impact is his "defensive prowess"? These two are total 🤡 🤡.
Nice foul, Chase. Bum
Chase lets 20 seconds run off the clock and then fouls a 90% FT shooter??
Nigel is a hell of a player
Quote from: basedcringeMU on Today at 07:04:26 PMNice foul, Chase. Bum
Add Norman's and Golds in first. Mistakes add up. Just stupid, undisciplined
Whatever the final play is, it cannot be Chase making the last shot.
We fouled the 90% FT shooter... again!
Hot seat
The world's going to lock down again if Nigel misses this freethrow. History repeating

Don't be so soft
Clutch FTs, nice job Nigel. And good on DO for making something happen
Nigel is a star
Definite step in the right direction. Also, my guy DO comes up huge.
OT is ours!! Warriors win time!!
BAM
BAM
BAM

RP!!!
Ross can't stay in front
Nigel giveth, Ross taketh away
Could Ross guard some one?
It would bd nice if our young gun got some help from Chase.
Could this be a good thing?
Chase holding the ball up while Nigel has scored like 15 points since he last made a shot is a joke
Ross being selfish
Chase, you idiot
Quote from: MuggsyB on Today at 07:20:18 PMIt would bd nice if our young gun got some help from Chase.
Bad decision after bad decision after bad decision
The fbi is coming for Ross next. He's clearly betting on the games.
WTF!!! Why the F is Ross playing iso ball?????!!!
Maybe him fouling out helps?
Might be for the best that Chase fouled out there...
Chase...

Not when Tre Norman is the replacement
Our 2 seniors have become biggest problems on this team
Great dime there!
Foul him!
Two seniors suck!
Ben gold being our best interior defender.... ::)
I really am starting to think Ben may have a vision problem.
How can a starter constantly miss open looks?
Quote from: warriors141 on Today at 07:22:49 PMOur 2 seniors have become biggest problems on this team
Absolutely brutal.
And fking infuriating.
Beautiful hesi dribble and attack!
Focus Ben.
"Senior" moment there for gold.
Considering they're gonna take a 3, not the worst thing ever for a second to come off the clock
Do not foul. They have to go the length of the floor.
DEFENSE!
Quote from: #UnleashJosh on Today at 07:21:53 PMThe fbi is coming for Ross next. He's clearly betting on the games.

The embrace between Royce and DO as the final heave bounced out is why I am excited for the future. Big time performance by those two, and, of course, Nigel. Glad we got one.
We're o a roll
Stevens, James, Parham and Owens is starting to take shape.
Tre played Vaaks perfectly on that shot
Quote from: NCMUFan on Today at 07:31:19 PMStevens, James, Parham and Owens is starting to take shape.
Yep. I love DO, so glad to see him have some success.
Glad we got a win! Congratulations to the team :)
Fun game. Good win. Loved the rotation today.
nice win, Providence missing their leading score in the BE however.
James is a stud - seems like there is something to build on Parham, Owens, and Stevens
Quote from: CountryRoads on Today at 07:33:06 PMFun game. Good win. Loved the rotation today.
Yes, bare minimum of Hamilton and Norman, and of course no Jones. Truly don't know what took Shaka so long to wake up to this.
Quote from: NCMUFan on Today at 07:31:19 PMStevens, James, Parham and Owens is starting to take shape.
Just need a big, not Sheek but he will help, might be OK next year. Add another guard who can score, backup both guards.
Quote from: PointWarrior on Today at 07:34:15 PMnice win, Providence missing their leading score in the BE however.

Yea, the team functions better with James handling the ball. Chase may be more effective with James getting him the ball instead of him trying to create.
Quote from: TSmith34, Inc. on Today at 07:34:33 PMYes, bare minimum of Hamilton and Norman, and of course no Jones. Truly don't know what took Shaka so long to wake up to this.
Hamilton two minutes
Norman like 7, but no choice after Ross out. That foul was terrible
Clark nothing
Phillips 7 minutes, added nothing but break for someone
Shaka cut rotation, helping Parham play big time and giving Owens confidence
I will throw out a name, Bateman of Iowa St, does not play much and they brought in Grey and Wiggins. Can shoot.
Chase Ross played the worst 2nd half and OT I've ever seen. He was awesome in the first half, too. When that's the play of the senior leader, it makes this W even more impressive.
It's Nigel's team now. He is losing focus
