Very uninspiring start. I want Shaka to succeed because I have no idea who we can get that would be way better. At this point though he ain't getting the job done
Emotionally? Now. Rationally, with another bottom half Big East finish
Shaka is the Matt LaFleur of college basketball.
What's the point? Marquette basketball is already a dead, zombie, corpse. You could fire Shaka but nothing can save this program any more.
Now.
So many issues.
- Offense looks completely lost without Nevada. Out of synch and out of ideas.
- Great defense, but once Mizzou figured it out we had no counter punch.
- Shaka refuses to use new players. Trusting Owens and Phillips with minutes late when they'd done nothing all game and both Egbuonu and Porter have given plenty of reason to put them in was inexplicable.
- We were great at guard development. Exit Haynes, that seems to be over.
- In the most critical moment of the game, our marquee player and coach both choked. Can't have that.
.
It's not time to start anything on fire unless we go 0-2 in Atlantis, but gathering kindling proactively might not be a bad idea. IMO today was a clear coaching loss. Against Dennis Gates, that's a bad look.
Shaka seems to be a great human being and I think we could be friends. That said, I feel like the MU administration with put too much weight into that type of thinking and he'll stay.
I will offer my body full time to Fred Hoiberg as part of a contract this spring.
I'm talking full free use taboo situation. The full Dubai arrangement. All the nasty stuff is on the table.
Don't ever tell me I don't love this school.
I was optimistic coming into the season. And after two meaningful games they're making it increasingly difficult to find any reason that this team will be significantly better than last year. A lot of the outstanding issues from last year are still there.
Alarm bells are ringing.

Virginia and Texas A&M??? Those will be tougher than any game we've played this year. I just don't see it from the current squad. 0-2 is the most probable outcome, right?

It's hot and will be on 🔥 if this continues.

Well said. I thought the coaching was absolutely abysmal Brew.

I think Nevada Smith's offense was pretty overrated. Two Top-20 offenses with Kolek running the show. Then you've got a 41st and 120th in the non-Kolek years. We're still running the same "set random screens" offense that Smith orchestrated without the special player who made it work.

You are probably right and if that happens the season is over before conference even starts. Again.
Based on the product seen so far, we'll likely miss the tourney this year. Then his seat is very warm and make or break in 2028. Long way to go this season, but the hole is forming
When was the last coach to survive two non post seasons? Or two non NCAA years when a major injury didn't derail the season?
