It would likely win, but I've been called a mountain goat.

Nice.

Kon's team has won 8 of its last 10 and is 1.5 games out of the play-in. Hornets Fever!

Marquette Basketball has only had 2 Teams with more than 18 losses in its very long History. This may be the 3rd Team.  We are a Feeble Embarrasung Disgrace Basketball Wise this year. Believe in Shaka but wish he would use the Portal.

Quote from: 1SE on January 31, 2026, 11:52:52 PMRoster construction aside, this team has executed poorly in"winning time" pretty much all year. That's either because Shaka is dialing up bad choices or his players aren't exectuing the good ones - both on him. 

It seems simple to me.  Chase Ross cannot be on the court with less than 2 minutes left in a close game.  In fact, I'd like to see him benched for the next game in favor of Owens or Phillips just to see how they could do with serious minutes.  Why not?  What is there to lose?

Sorry, not an Olympic sport.

Most in every single winter sport.

Probably break dancing too, and that's sad.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on January 31, 2026, 11:15:12 PMThanks for pointing out we can't win in a bad conference.  I think more salt in this wound is just what MU fans need. 

We can win!!!  100%

Quote from: forgetful on January 31, 2026, 07:25:57 PMDo you honestly not understand it? They are going around detaining people simply because they don't look American (non-white), or have an accent, with no other reason to suspect any wrong doing.

They are then taken away to detention centers, sometimes in completely different states, interrogated, and mistreated.

Citizens, legal immigrants and others are afraid to go out and go to work, run their business, or go to school, because they can be detained just for the way they look.

That's why businesses by you are a mess. Because terror, and fear is the goal. Even my right-wing friends admit that, it isn't about the rule of law it is to create fear so immigrants are afraid to even come here.

Eh, who cares if U.S. citizens, including veterans and teenagers, are being hauled away, detained and denied due process? They had it coming!

Quote from: 1SE on January 31, 2026, 11:52:52 PMJust because we are now playing better than the absolute dumpster fire of a few weeks ago doesn't excuse the otherwise really subpar in game coaching this year.

I said (maybe not here), we're the mid major team, we can hang on for a half.

I'm glad the guys had the Creighton game, they've worked hard and deserved that

I'll still hold out hope for the BET because never say die, but we have get to see this team close games in a way that gives me any confidence we won't see and early exit.
