I don't make millions of dollar to coach the basketball, so I'm probably pretty stupid but could you please tell me:
1) Why Chase and Ben didn't switch back on Clark at 2:10 so we could avoid Ben getting iso'd 25 feet from the hoop? Did you think Ben would be able to stay in front of Clark isod?
2) Why Ben bring a high-hedge on Clark 45 feet from the basket at 1:24 which leads to us giving up a wide open 3? Did you think Ben was going to strip Clark?
I would graciously receive your wisdom so I too can make millions of dollars for coaching the basketball.
Your humble servant,
1SE
Shaka if you are reading this, can you please quit so MU bball at least has a small chance of being a winning program again?

I hope you don't mind my suggested editing.

Man, all I can say is I feel bad about not paying rent.

Like in Seinfeld Shaka has turned into the Transfer Nazi and The Shake Nazi. No Shakes for You! Shaka has changed his tune on Shakes. This season is a conspiracy not to sell Shakes. Like the NFL is a conspiracy to sell food.
Shaka, don't read scoop. Don't let your players read scoop. Block it on all of their devices.
If you do reference it, use it as a teaching tool about what not to read and what not to pay attention to.
Yep. Fan boards for any team are no good. Would probably say social media is a worse place for negative commentary however.
Maybe we should have had today as a day off from Scoop. Perhaps Scoop should go on hiatus until the off season when will know in which direction the program is headed.

Trust me, most casual fans have already moved on. Appreciate those of you still hanging on, there aren't many.

Casual Fan is an oxymoron.

No! Scoop only closes for political causes, damn it!
Maybe the casual fans have moved on, but what has been left behind is frightening. This team is young and improving. The recruiting classes look great, and Shaka is a wonderful representative of Marquette. Get a collective grip, or maybe just get a life.

Wow, for those of you that think this place is bad, you should check outside your front door occasionally.

Scoop is much appreciated! Scoop is also much needed for venting especially in a Season like this Season. Thank You for Scoop!

Wahhhhhhhh
Scoop may be better than the outside world at large, but we should expect a bit more. That is an incredibly low bar right now. We had a chance to beat the Hall at home. Our inexperience showed, but that will correct over time.

We'll agree to disagree. There are no moral victories and we're 0-11 on tbe road. We definitely have shown improvement, but we need to cash in. The game was right there for us but we didn't execute down the stretch.

What's next? Forfeiting the remaining games? If an individual scooper wants to go "on hiatus", DO it! No need to close it down for any
one scooper.

I don't think you could have found a lower bar if your life depended upon it. ;D

Scoop: better than your lowest expectations! (And better than the real world)

Seton Hall has been better than Marquette all year, home or away. Today was entirely expected.

I anticipated a loss today too... but I'm feeling better about the team with 9 regular season games remaining. In fact, 6-3 down the stretch...and I'll say it now, MU beats Dracula, er, Pitino & St. John's outright at Fiserv. My worry is Shaka thinking a decent close to the season justifies RGV, and there's no portal shopping.
Quote from: Viper on Today at 08:41:44 PM6-3 down the stretch...
I would be pleasantly surprised with 2 more wins

Marquette has a far better chance of being a winner if Shaka stays and adapts than if he leaves.
You should be wanting him to use the portal. If he leaves or is fired we will just become a stepping stone again.
Quote from: rocky_warrior on Today at 08:44:42 PMI would be pleasantly surprised with 2 more wins
I think they'll get more than that. Based on current form, DePaul and Butler at home should be wins. Have to think they'll get a road game somewhere, maybe.
If you sort T Rank since 1/10 we're the 70th best team in basketball. 50th best since 1/17. Small samples, but I think that matches the eye test in those time frames. If we continue to play like that, I think we can snag 4-5 more wins.

I donno, vs Creighton was our best game, and @ Creighton was our worst game. So you're eliminating our worst, but including our best. I agree MU has been playing better, but I don't think we have a tough team.

Keeps the 24 point loss @SJU in there, though. And road losses to Butler and DePaul. Even with those three games, they're playing a lot better. Covering more spreads, more competitive.
I think learning to win on the road is more of a skill than toughness. They're getting closer. We'll see if they figure it out this year. I'm hoping they do because it'll really change the perspective on next year if they can finish strong. We'll see.
