Something we probably already knew but this makes it official! Marquette retains their top shooter on the year. Running it back!
I know this is the new normal, but I can't believe every guy on the roster has to do a "I'm back" announcement.

Keeps the lurkers away. But ya that's the new normal for sure.

Yeah, I'd much prefer a "Stop Calling Me Pitino" post.

Unless it's Caedin this year.
I just want everyone to know that Rocky and Topper really stepped up with the revenue sharing from the Scoop Collective and, as a result, I will be returning for the 2026-27 season.
Let's run it back.

Tough to turn down the tax payer money from Madison, but good for you & Scoop.

Well, people were wondering if his 1 for 10 three point shooting against Xavier in last game would solidify him in the portal so it is good he announced
KABOOM!!!
MU will be back.

So, what does this mean for RP? Is he staying or transferring? I guess it depends on his new contract.

He's either doing a bit, in which case it is the most poorly constructed bit I have seen here, or he's just that way. Either way he is easy to ignore. He provides nothing insightful.
Live look in at Willie:

You neglected to mention the clever nicknames that he has provided us. Bit of a stretch, but those might qualify as insightful, right?

Speaking of bits.. still wondering how Rico was erased from the universe.

He's posting in the Superbar.
What Rico did on a daily basis takes persistence and stamina. This season was over in early November and not worth the effort.
There was nothing to be optimistic about except younger players hopefully developing. You could not logically poke fun at pessimistic posters, you could not troll dumb over reactions to poor play. You could not defend Shaka's personnel decisions or abject recruiting failures. It was simply an energy zapping season.
His schtick works when the team is actually good. TAMU's and Towers analyses work when the team is actually good.
They are absent because they are not bitchers and moaners like the rest of us (all of us to varying degrees).
Talking about it with people who care (scoopers) is at least therapeutic for some of us who continue to post or read the board for any positive news.
Once the roster is set after the portal, I expect them all to return. Unless this season has destroyed their desire to ever post on a message board again. Too much negativity in the worst season since the 60s will do that to you.
We will know in a few months.
Just saw your post Sultan. I never go to the other boards on scoop.

You really think the "bitchers and moaners" care less? At least I am here watching the games and yes complaining rather than staying silent. I for one do not want the program to fail. I want more than just making the tournament. I want Marquette to make deep runs in March. Is that too much to ask?
Also it is too early to tell, but even Coach Pitino sees the financial disadvantage the Big East faces competing against the P4 schools. I hope we can, but my glasses are clear eyed not blue and gold.

Your glasses are fogged by your inability to enjoy
anything short of perfection, like an undefeated season capped by a natty. Your post (edited) after the UCONN game is a classic example:
"One could also say a 27-3 team did not play their A game and lost to a bad team on the road. Now if we get the chance to play UCONN next Thursday and hold Karaban to 2 points again and win I will concede they are playing a lot better."
Is it "too much to ask" to enjoy a
HUGE upset? From you, the answer is clearly yes. You must have been very upset that we did not win the Xavier game. I think it is a fair guess that Karaban would have scored more than two points, so instead of bestowing your "I concede..." upon us, you could say "
SEE? I
told you so!"

If you can't handle Marquette basketball at its worst, you don't deserve Marquette basketball at its best.

Don't you want deep runs in March?
Quote from: muwarrior69 on March 18, 2026, 11:56:50 AMDon't you want deep runs in March?
You figured it out.......only the whiners and complainers want deep runs........the rest of us post endlessly because we prefer losing seasons.........
The best thing about winning is the whiners post much less while the rest of us are still here.......funny how that works.

So what is the problem. I assume you want deep runs too.

Parham hopefully next.....
Owens, Phillips, Red shirts....
Lets see where we are at.....

Royce had a big enough season where an announcement wouldn't be unusual. As for the other guys you mentioned, I'm just going to assume they're all back unless we hear otherwise.
I think the three pretty much confirmed they'd all be back at the BET.
https://x.com/JackAlbrightMU/status/2031915970294435980
MU WILL BE BACK!!!
MARK MY WORDS!!
SHAKA WILL FILL THE NEEDEED SPOTS!!!
WEAPONS ARE COMING!!!!!!
EVERYONE NEEDS TO CALM DOWN!!
I believe strongly, as much as this year sucked, it was an anomaly.
We will get back on track and I like the aforementioned trio returning to Milwaukee.
:)
Fifteen exclamation points from the guy who says {all caps) EVERYONE NEEDS TO STAY CALM!!.
Agree that this year was an anomaly and that we will be back on track.
Now Muggsy.....STAY CALM!!

It worked. Not in a good way, but it worked.
Quote from: TAMU, Knower of Ball on March 18, 2026, 12:25:48 PMHey! I can bitch and moan with the best of them.
Though I am among the most optimistic Scoopers, I've done plenty of bitchin' about this sad season, too. Lots of us have.
But not about the same things over and over and over and over and over and over and over again the way eeyore69 and joyless willie do.
We've been upset. Very upset. That's not the same thing as bitching. Now, if we do not get reinforcements? And next year is another dumpster 🔥? Don't expect me to be Buddhist Monk calm. :)
And btw, I expect Nigel, Royce, and Adrien to improve a great deal and add a number of things to their arsenals.
Amazing! A key piece of this fantastic team is back. I have no doubt Marquette will make a strong push for the NIT next year.
Stop feeding the the troll folks..
