MU was really fortunate Zuby and Hopkins both picked up 2 fouls in the first few minutes of the game. It let our guys at least get a half of non garbage time minutes.

I thought each of the young guys had some decent stretches. Caedin a few good possessions on both ends, etc. Though, I'm not confident the growth trajectory of this group will come close to exceeding the reload level of our competition on a year to year basis. It was frustrating when Parham, Owens, and Phillips all missed a layup in the span of 2 seconds.

...including the assistant coaching staff. Need new eyes, new influencers.

Good point, we should be up in arms at the front office. Loosen the purse strings you misers!

UConn and St. John's are locks. Nova and Seton Hall are looking like near locks. Creighton? We'll see.

Fortunately (or unfortunately), the gap between the top and bottom is so wide that there should be few upsets of the top teams as the season goes forward.

Quote from: onepost on Today at 12:03:01 AMYou accuse others of hyperbole but you're banking on Shaka bringing in 2-3 HIGH-LEVEL portal additions when the only portal usage he's ever had post "just got the job and need to fill a roster" 2021 is a singular D2 guy who played not even 5 minutes for Marquette. So, nobody.

"Sure if Shaka does something he's literally never done, and triples down on said thing he's never done, we're right back!" And we're the ones being unreasonable? LMAO got it.

D2? He was from an NAIA school. A D2 transfer could have contributed (look at Central Michigan which is full of D2 guys).

TJ out after last night's debacle

Shaka should be upset at whoever constructed the roster to put him in such a predicament.

I don't rate Sam as the most hated, I think he caved to family pressure. Now Joey on the other hand...
