#FakeNews #Lies

...and the other stuff is just mind-boggling dumb.

Quote from: CreightonWarrior on December 07, 2025, 08:46:50 PMits all a moot point because the game was declared over 1 minute into the game.

Williams had a good 2nd half.  He took my comments to heart until the final play.

Quote from: Stretchdeltsig on Today at 06:30:36 AMShaka has ruined this team by his over emphasis of defense and lack of emphasis of offense. The Badger game clearly showed again hos this team can't shoot whether from long or mid range and we choke around the rim. It seems that the players are rewarded with playing time by their defense in practice with no encouragement on their offense. That is not a winning formula. More emphasis has to be put on shooting in practice. Players should play based on their ability to score. Reflections are good, but points are better.

If they're defending in practice, it's not translating to stopping guys during actua games.  Right now we can defend, score, or shoot.  That's not exactly a winning formula.

Quote from: Newsdreams on December 07, 2025, 08:46:33 PMOn D they're having him double the ball up top, taking on Oso type role. He is being used as a big crashing boards and banging down below with other bigs. They're also encouraging him to drive more to the basket. He wasn't doing much of that last year.

I'd say BG is largely the same player and still not very physical at all. I wish they'd pull him closer to the hoop on both ends of the court. He has height and athleticism to disrupt shots. He's only blocked one shot in the last 7 games I think.

His role is largely the same on offense. He still shoots over 60% of his shots from deep, and not well right now. Always felt like Ben has shown a few flashes of his quickness getting to the hoop since his freshman year, but it really hasn't materialized much. Again, not trying to crap on him too much because the team as a whole is the primary issue.

Quote from: Pakuni on December 07, 2025, 10:49:15 PMI'm not sure that's true, but so what? I imagine they were heartbroken about missing the playoffs and not likely in the best frame of mind for that decision a couple hours later. The grown ups in the room ought to made the decision based on what's best for the program, not their feelings being hurt. 
Notre Dame's not the first and won't be the last team to feel they were wronged by the playoff committee. They're the first I can remember who acted like this in response.

ND has a long history of skipping bowl games.

Quote from: Newsdreams on December 07, 2025, 09:00:53 PMSo what is the amount of money and do you know how NIL is structured at MU? You made it seem like it was Shaka's fault that Kolek didn't stay, when that is false. You said we have the money, tell me how much? Or say you don't know.

STFU....

We're going to the home Providence game and the game at DePaul. It'll be fun to get together with our friends, and we'll enjoy watching 2 wins for Marquette!

We'll agree to disagree, Pak. Have a good one.

I'm a MU grad, so make it super simple. Red, blue & yellow if possible.
