Took them about 4 business days to throw that flag.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 06:23:29 PMGood to know. Minor relief. I thought it maybe worse than it looked on the scoreboard.

Outside of the 25-2 (or whatever it was) run that happened in about 3 minutes and completely ended the game, Creighton looked pretty mid.  Once they got up 30 in the second half, their players seemed to lose interest and they had some really bad shot selection.  Them not winning by 40 was more about them than us.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 05:01:35 PMMueller was a walk-on (at least he came in as a one). Harris was a freshman that year and was a grinder and leader during his career (2-year captain). We could use a Jon Harris type on this year's team.

Good call on Mueller - I think he might've been given a scholarship eventually, but you're right that he came in as a walk-on.  I was hesitant to list Harris but looked at his career numbers and they were not good.  I do remember him crying and having to be consoled after MU lost to Tulsa in the first round of the tournament, ending his career.  You could tell how much playing at MU meant to him. That seems like such a long time ago.

Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 02:43:25 PM1 game suspension for Cooley.

Impossible. Sources said, "Ed will somehow slide."

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 12:39:46 PMconsidering the size of the crowd at the game one has to give credit to Cooley for his accuracy.

Made me laugh out loud. My wife asked what I was laughing at, I read it to her, and she laughed too. Well done, Billy.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 06:01:30 PMNah. Aside from the normal garbage-time situations that happen in every blowout game in the country.

McDermott still had most of his starters in with 1-2 minutes to go yesterday. He probably felt he needed to win by as much as possible to improve his team's metrics.

I don't know if this season is worse than Dukiet's worst years, but the program is in a bazillion times better shape than it was back then.

The Dukiet era was the nadir of a pattern of accelerating decline from Raymonds to Majerus to Dukiet. Things seemed hopeless, lots of folks wondered if the powers-that-be had given up on Marquette being a basketball school, and it took KO 4 years to right the ship.

We were a 2-seed two years ago and an NCAAT team 9 months ago, so it's not part of a generation of decline (as was the case in the late 80s). MU leadership has seen exactly how energized the whole university gets when our basketball program is successful. And the current college sports environment makes it possible to rebuild quickly if Shaka (or his replacement) is so inclined.

So the situations are not at all comparable IMHO.

But yes, our team is really bad this season, from the head coach down to the last player on the active roster.

Lions giving up 8.7 rushing yards per attempt this afternoon. No bueno.
