Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 05:03:14 PMImpressive how much you're missing the point.

Wades did a great job respectfully breaking down what I missed. You're trying to start an argument.

Be more like wades and less like you.

Quote from: Markusquette on Today at 12:09:36 PMHe has a track record of recruiting some good one and done centers at Texas. I'll give him some credit for Oso's development, but other than that it's been underwhelming. When he accepted a job with MU, having difficulty finding talented big men was not on my bingo card. Hopefully Sheek is the answer.

I'm sure Shaka appreciates you giving him some credit for Oso's development. We all wish Gold were better, but he's already proven to be a starting 5 on an NCAAT-caliber team. Hamilton doesn't appear to be an NCAAT-caliber big; if he doesn't improve markedly, that would be a "fail." Way too early to tell with Clark IMHO.

Quote from: Jamo on Today at 03:55:29 PMThat statement and question is quite the contradiction!

Care to elaborate?

Quote from: panda on Today at 03:28:56 PMIt's a two hour and 15 drive at most from Chicago to Milwaukee. I understand IU/OU may not have wanted a home home.

One game every few years in Chicago is nice but let's not act like it's a massive trek to get to games in Milwaukee from Chicago. A home atmosphere for a big game is far better than what we saw with indiana and what will probably be a quiet arena on Fri.

Impressive how much you're missing the point.

Quote from: wadesworld on Today at 04:04:46 PMBut we aren't giving up home games to play in Chicago neutral site games. They're taking place of something like a Maui or Fort Meyers tournament.

Seriously, there are legitimate gripes about the product Shaka is putting on the court this year. But when every single thing the program does gets complained about, it gets a little old. The scheduling has been great. I'd expect it to continue being great. Shaka and Buzz scheduled weak. Shaka has had zero problem going out and playing a challenging non conference schedule.

All fair points

Quote from: Mr. Nielsen on November 25, 2025, 11:45:49 PMColorado State is expected to make UConn coach Jim Mora the school's next head coach.

A guy I play basketball with weekly has a son that redshirted his freshman year there this year after tearing his ACL during his senior high school basketball season.

Casey Alexander and Belmont move to 7-0 with a win over Toledo.  Doubt he leaves Nashville or Tennessee but he's been a very good coach

Colossal win for Bradley over Liberty today.  The Flames were undefeated but ain't no more as Wardle's Giant Killers get a huge "W" in South Dakota.

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 03:17:56 PMWell, it seems there are two options here.
Either:
1) As Billy suggests, MU has chosen not to participate in the tournament.
2) Tournament organizers have decided the Marquette program is not worthy of an invite.

Which way are you leaning?

Given we weren't in the PK tournaments and are a Jordan Brand (Nike) team, seems like the former is more likely.

Shaka is probably above associating himself with Phil Knight stuff, too, though.

Quote from: The Sultan on November 25, 2025, 08:50:50 PMI'm a ball at parties. Mostly because I don't attend parties with people who compare Shaka Smart with Helen Keller.

Seriously...WTF is that?

Jesus.

This gave me a good laugh.
