Quote from: brewcity77 on Today at 06:56:50 AMYes. Obviously yes. If we didn't, we're DePaul accepting our lot but with a more overpaid coach.

Shaka earned a leash with 4 straight bids and a pair of 2-seeds, but he didn't walk on water. He didn't win a national championship. That is the only thing that gets a lifetime pass from me.

Two years of this would clearly demonstrate he cannot successfully transition to the new roster building paradigm and that 2022-25 was likely a lucky string with some generational players, most of which were transfers or recruited by another coach.

We're blaming Shaka, but could it be the Administration? We're 3-4 years in on NIL and in year one on revenue sharing which is just not men's basketball. Could it be that they're just figuring how they're going to divide up that pie (men's basketball, women's basketball and volleyball, etc.) to make it all work? Maybe Shaka just doesn't have the cash to get the players to be competitive? I think this off season might tell us in what direction the University will go. They dropped football in 1960. They just might decide that to be competitive at the high major D1 level in Men's basketball for National Championships is too costly in this new age of college athletics. When you have the AD and University President promoting RGV you have to wonder.

However, if we do have the cash, then it's on Shaka as we're certainly not getting an acceptable ROI.

I doubt the FBI wants to find the Brown shooter right now. There's too much anger to be stoked and money to be made from the claim that the victim was one of only 20 conservatives on campus and was deliberately targeted (while ignoring the profile of the other victim because he really doesn't matter). Let the grift continue.

at the time, no. Now? Gloves off, Crafty.

I just don't think they can keep up scoring wise.

Quote from: Badgerhater on December 16, 2025, 10:23:25 PMTyler Kolek putting up 14/5/5 in 20 min vs the Spurs.

On 5/9 shooting in only 20 min and, while its an imperfect metric, he had the second best +/- on the night at +14 (again impressive in only 20 min).  He was super efficient and even played off ball with Brunson a bit.  He also had a pass late in the 4th to Anouby for a 3, to put them up 8 with under 2 min left, that was vintage Kolek vision and high degree of difficulty made to look smooth and easy. 

The last month he's been pretty consistently getting around 15 min a night, which is awesome.  Seems like Mike Brown likes him and is starting to trust him more.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on December 16, 2025, 10:02:48 PMNot sure that moved the needle for MU. 5-6 FSU is not any better than MU.

Hey man, I'm digging for positive here.

Quote from: MarquetteMike1977 on December 16, 2025, 11:16:17 PMOn ESPN they just said Tyler Kolek had the Dagger Assist tonight.

Yeah, it was impressive. Kolek had the ball under the hoop, and Wemby collapsed to double-team him. Kolek waited a beat, leaned over the baseline, and whipped the ball around Wemby to an open Anunoby (who had a tremendous game). Anouby had long enough to shoot that I thought he'd psych himself out, tbh.

Adam Silver says the NBA will vote next year on adding two franchises, with Las Vegas and Seattle being by far the leaders.

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on December 16, 2025, 08:01:10 PMIt was a MU produced"day in the life" thing. Not something Chase did or posted.

So it was a scripted video and you can't figure out why they included a shot of him driving?
