Quote from: Tha Hound on Today at 10:07:25 AMI'll keep hammering this drum - the bolded is not enough. A beast center for sure, I agree. But we also need a beast wing. And from there a quality depth piece or two would be nice.

Tough to see us shelling out the kind of cash that would take but in my opinion that's the bare minimum to be in legit contention next year.

We definitely need a scoring wing. Hoped that DO could step into that role, but alas...

Bearadise in Northern Indiana would be 27 miles from Soldier.

Arlington Heights is around 30 miles.


I don't care ultimately as a Bears fan, especially considering I'm having to travel up for games either way.  And this is all probably just more of the bears trying to leverage the state of Illinois for more funding.

But hey, at least Kevin Warren already has the chairs for the suites picked out.

Quote from: Johnny B on Today at 08:46:40 AMThink NIT is off the table. Can we make the auspicious crown?

If we did, this would be the one year I'd like them to play in it. Get the young core some games in a tournament environment, try to get some momentum for next year

Quote from: MU Fan in Connecticut on Today at 10:16:32 AMIt's going to be messy as I see customers seeking refunds from my company who in turn will have to seek a request from refunds from the US Government.  It should be fun.

I know lawyers will benefit, but guessing no actual refunds.  Tax credits to businesses is probably the play.

Yes, and what will be done with the pot of money?  I'm sure it will be spun as a stimmy from the tariffs and that the executive branch was planning on doing this the entire time!

Quote from: dgies9156 on February 19, 2026, 10:59:19 PMBack to the subject at hand: Many of you folks are over-analyzing the Portal issue. Coach Smart either goes to the Portal or he bets on Caedin Hamilton and a group of redshirts/incoming freshmen to carry his water next year.

That path is a sure ticket to unemployment in 2027!

Marquette's needs are simple: depth at guard and a center that's a beast. Our season has fallen apart this year because (a) Zaide, Tre and Sean never became anything close to what Coach Smart had expected; and, (b) Our center(s) are better equipped to play in the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association than the Big East.

Our core is basically very good. Keep Nigel, Royce and Adrian, work with Damarius and our incoming and we have the foundation for a good team next year. But without Portal depth at guard and center, we're headed for another disaster.

Let's see what Coach Smart does. In the meantime, the sooner this season ends, the better.


I'll keep hammering this drum - the bolded is not enough. A beast center for sure, I agree. But we also need a beast wing. And from there a quality depth piece or two would be nice.

Quote from: MUbiz on Today at 09:54:34 AMAnswer: tampering. Tampering is rampant in major college athletics in general. Danny Hurley has spoken a few times about this.

Are scouts from one program talking with a player's agent "tampering?"

Mumford & Sons' new album isn't one of their best, but it is WAY better than last year's.

Scrolling through Twitter and came across this tweet from Braziller from about 2 weeks ago. No mention of Nigel for the Freshman of the Year, just Mullins and Lewis. Lol.

Do coaches vote for that, or is it media?
