Quote from: Shooter McGavin on December 04, 2025, 10:43:33 PMI get your point 82, but sometimes Ben looks so hesitant to shoot wide open threes he does look like a freshman. If there is anyone on our team that needs to say "WTF let it fly" it's Ben.  When he has to shoot quickly (when he doesn't have time to think) he seems to go straight up and have more arc on 

As much as Shaka has Caedin screaming that he's the badest guy in the Big Easr, he needs to have Ben shouting the same about shooting until he becomes unconscious when he is open from three.

I just think he's a streak shooter, as he has been his entire time at Marquette. He's had long stretches when he hit 40%+, and other stretches when he can't buy one.

Quote from: JWags85 on December 04, 2025, 11:01:35 PMAs fun as it is to mock Jerrah and the Cowboys, I think Schottenheimer is showing to be a pretty solid hire.  Seemed weird to promote a member of staff when they needed a change and got rid of McCarthy, but there is some positive to build on from Schottenheimer's year so far.  Gotta move on from Eberflus cause that defense is offensively bad, but he's got Dak humming to a career year and they've been able to beat SB contenders while having a bottom 3 defense.

That's Schotty to you, and to Herbie.

Maybe we just do not have enough money in the NIL world to compete for great players and Shark's way is the only way we can do it.  Can we really go compete for these top players in the portal?   Maybe we can snag one but not sure.  Shaka way he has to be right 75% of the time on recruitment.  That is tough.  Go Marquette!  I hope we figure it out so it all works out

Quote from: MuggsyB on December 04, 2025, 10:58:55 PMWe do a terrible job of slowing down and using basic footwork/intelligence to drain buckets in the paint. 

This bothers me so much. Royce is a big problem in this department. They get the look and panic. All fundamentals go out the window when we get close to the basket.

Whatever happened to playing off two feet and playing through contact?

I bet someone who can't play off two feet is one of those

Quote from: MU82 on December 04, 2025, 10:04:58 PMWas Gold relaxed when he hit those 3 wide-open 3s in the second half but not relaxed when he missed the wide-open 3s he took in the first half. How do you know?

It's a great word and aptly describes our situation.

Quote from: jesmu84 on December 04, 2025, 10:33:34 PMWhy doesn't shaka try to recruit him?

He also has the floater in his bag.  It's never a bad thing to have tremendous variety in your arsenal.
