Last post by MU_B - Today at 03:00:33 PMI thought the way they structured the exceptions was very strategic. In that it seemed to intentionally exclude phil.
Also think that Wesley Bryan should be allowed back but that's a different issue i guess.

Last post by tower912 - Today at 02:59:05 PMI think that he had to grow into the opportunity. Continue to recover from his surgery. I thought for the non-conference part of the season he was the worst defender on the team and cited instances. At least now he isn't so far out of position that he is picking off teammates.
So, yes, as he has healed and improved enough on defense, he is playing more and making the most of it. Shaka said he was improving in practice and close to it translating into games.

Last post by Pakuni - Today at 02:54:13 PMQuote from: MU82 on Today at 01:01:40 PMQuite encouraged by the recent play of Owens. Folks were giving up on him (and Parham too) way too early. Young players develop at different paces, and it's been fun watching DO play more freely, with more confidence and spirit, lately. He had several huge plays last night.
If he can continue to improve - and there's really no reason he can't - we'll have him, Parham, James and Stevens as a solid core. Plus Egbuonu, Sheek and an improved Phillips. Hopefully add a couple of good players through the portal, and that's a team that can win next season and beyond.
Some people were ridiculed here last month for suggesting DO be given more of an opportunity.

Last post by Tha Hound - Today at 02:52:32 PMQuote from: BM1090 on January 19, 2026, 10:59:50 PMCould not disagree more on Ben. He's playing really well outside shot making. If he was shooting his normal percentage from deep he'd be our clear second best player.
He's taken the most 3's on the team and making them at a 24% clip. "He's playing really well outside the one thing he does the most and is absolutely terrible at." Sounds a bit silly, no?

Last post by brewcity77 - Today at 02:51:09 PMIf anyone wants another example of how incompetent the PR side is, still no mention of Nigel James setting the Marquette freshman record for points in a game last night with 38. Nice, easy chance to point out how one of Markus' all-time records was broken, something positive in this negative season, and Marquette is just ignoring it, I strongly suspect because no one there actually realized it.

Last post by onepost - Today at 02:27:19 PMQuote from: Vander Blue Man Group on Today at 02:20:33 PMI don't think any other player, as it stands today, would command a massive payment on the open market.
However, with the way Royce has been trending (at least offensively), it's possible he could have some nice opportunities.
Shaka and Royce package deal to Pitt???

Last post by tower912 - Today at 02:24:36 PMHopefully, the more he plays the more he figures out help defense.
Seriously, it has been fun to watch him get better. This is what we thought we would be getting a season ago. Injuries delayed his arrival as a consistent contributor.

Totally agree, 82. Damarius is making winning plays on both ends of the court and it's been so great to see. He's playing well so he gets a longer leash, with that longer leash he makes more great plays, and now he's rightfully in the lineup in crunch time. That's awesome news.
