Last post by muwarrior97 - Today at 09:08:49 AMQuote from: DoctorV on November 19, 2025, 10:58:08 PMHe knew very early that at Marquette, the way to win was to get old and stay old.
The first few years he struck gold when he got in the lab and brought in some elite transfers, and retained and coached up some Wojo recruits.
Then he brought in his own guys- guys in the 75-125 range in the rankings that would fit his retention yet not dropping heavy cash mold and grow old and stay old method.
He knows what he's doing, he has a plan, but like all of us he expected someone like Damarius to become a star, and Royce to follow suit. He expected more out of almost everyone on this roster, and he's been let down.
So, now he has to adjust
I agree with this 100% AND I think he will adjust, he has had success with this approach and now they hit a down patch which will lead him to re-evaluate and make some adjustments to the plan. He's never said he's anti-portal and used it before with good success, he's just modified his approach and expected a few of the underclassmen to take the next step and they have not as of yet......there are 25 games left for them get better, I'll be watching them all and reppin' MUBB

Last post by Jay Bee - Today at 09:04:50 AM...from 2.5 years ago:
Now he's playing in the Big 12 and is a top 5 scorer nationally. Playing 80% minutes, some stats: ORtg of 123.1 on Usage of 32%; eFG% of 53.0% is low due to 1/15 3FG start in first four games, but is 7/13 in last two; 23% assist rate; sub-9% turnover rate; 2.8% stl with 1.9 FC/40; 56% FTrate.
Plays on a bad team (Utah) but is super fun to watch. Will push his team to an upset(s) in the Big 12 this year.. you shall see highlights, and can say, 'oh that's another kid Jay Bee was talking about before bro played a college game'

Last post by burger - Today at 09:01:42 AMI want to know what the odds of being a tourney team are at this point. KenPom. Give it to the fans straight.
Instead of this BS. We have players close to breaking out.
With what I consider 3 bad losses. 2 at home. I would say we are about a 25% chance of making the tourney.
UConn is going to beat us by 40.
Now I know what it feels like to be Providence or Seton Hall. Who will probably both beat us also.
Even DePaul looks better at this point.
I am preparing for really really bad.
What is Shaka's spin if we lose 20?

The Superbar / Re: Golf 2025
Last post by Uncle Rico - Today at 08:57:33 AMQuote from: swoopem on Today at 08:22:27 AMMe and my friends do a golf trip every year. Next year we're doing Arcadia and then in 2027 trying to do sand valley. My friend who organizes it reached out to sand valley for availability a couple weeks ago and hasn't heard back. I know they're busy and it's tough to book but is this normal? Any idea how long it actually takes to get a response?
I typically get a response within a day from Sand Valley but haven't tried booking a trip there since reaching out in August of last year
Wouldn't surprise me if they were moving to a lottery system like Bandon Dunes. I had to win the lottery to get the opportunity to get a stay and play there.

COVID-19 / Re: Measles
Last post by Uncle Rico - Today at 08:55:54 AMQuote from: MU82 on Today at 08:27:17 AMFrom Yahoo News:
The CDC updated its website yesterday to suggest a link between vaccines and autism and cast doubt on decades of research showing that vaccines are safe. "'Vaccines do not cause autism' is not an evidence-based claim," it now reads.
What we know: Autism is a developmental disability that causes various symptoms. Research shows that genetics, as well as environmental factors — like prenatal exposure to pollution or parental age — may play a role, but not vaccines. The 1998 study that linked child vaccines to autism was retracted in 2010. [CBS News]
Response: The move sparked criticism from doctors and public health officials. Philip Huang, director of the Dallas County health department, said the federal government's messaging "is not science-based," while some of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s supporters hailed the change. [USA Today]
Our government is actively trying to kill Americans

Last post by Shooter McGavin - Today at 08:51:26 AMSteele laid out what the loss meant to MU and their chances of making the tournament pretty starkly in the post game article. He's definitely not a shill for Shaka and the program. So the discussion we are having on scoop is being laid out in black and white terms to the people who still read sports sections.

Last post by PointWarrior - Today at 08:49:08 AMYou are correct in that they still have games to play. And these games can be used to develop players.
But as for playing for anything like a tourney bid or placing high in the conference, it is essentially over.
