This game didn't matter at all.
It didn't keep us out of the tournament like 2018, or the postseason like 2016.
We weren't a bubble team that just ended their 2year winless streak like 2010. It wasn't embarrassing like 2020.
This game and every ensuing pathetic crap out we have is pointless.
Things that I will miss next season :
1) Chase hitting the side of the backboard.
2) Wondering how Ben Gold didn't get that rebound... or that one. Or that one two minutes ago.
3) Sean Jones' mom in the dance competition
4) Caedin checking in, while Shaka checks his bench to see who he should send to the scorers table to sub him out
5) Cheap tickets: I get those from season ticket holders. There may be far less next year.
6) Ben Gold's shot giving credibility to the flat earth theory (2" height elevation on the arc)
7) The middle aged female DePaul fan in 212 that was hooting/hollering after every made shot. I didn't have the courage to tell her that she hadn't seen her team make the tournament since she was 7.
8) Owens whispering 'I'm Batman' to each person he defends.
9) Momentum being halted from a Chase Ross heat check (spoiler : the pilot light hasn't been on all year)
10) The rush I get when determining if we'll get a shot off at the end of a half/game with 18 seconds on the clock.
11) An 8 team logjam for last place
12) Wondering what Shake Shack does when we miss two free throws.
13) Calculating how few in-game charitable donations are made this year from corporate sponsors (3's, steals, etc).
14) My nephews 1st grade team yesterday putting up the same amount of first-half points as our Alma mater.
15) The student contestant also struggling from the free throw line.
In all seriousness, MUBB is a business - for enrollment, for academic donations, and should be for NIL. Not a great look in Broekers first year, which should challenge the system to change. Shaka has hinted at it, but we'll see if there is a difference in roster building next year. Keep the core couple of building blocks and surround them with experience, size and someone that can freakin box out for a change.

You might not miss this.
I was 100% certain he was transferring last year because he wasn't willing to come back mid season. Now people are using him not coming back as proof he's gone...because he decided to sit out the rest of this season.
Sean & Shaka are buds. And he's not getting more $ elsewhere.

They paid him for two years, now graduating, time to move on.
