Quote from: wisblue on March 11, 2026, 08:14:10 PMI can't say I was looking forward to the possibility of playing UConn again. When a team pulls a huge upset over a clearly superior opponent, the probability of coming back in a couple of days and beating them again is lower than the probability of beating them the first time.

I'll bet right now they won't be 3 for 21 on three-point shots tomorrow.

They were never going to win the game. Doesn't mean I don't want the opportunity.

Quote from: The Sultan on March 11, 2026, 08:46:11 PMWhich is why Shaka is changing his approach. Yet we have multiple posters claiming that beating UConn means he will just stick with what's he's been doing.

That's not happening. No one, especially those who write the checks, thinks a UConn win erases a 20 loss season.

Quote from: panda on March 11, 2026, 08:53:46 PMWhat many are missing here is the poor performance is coupled with a horrible big east this season. We could barely keep the pace against other bad teams. If this was a season with typically competent providence, creighton etc. We would've looked much worse. Need a ton of help to get back to where we need to be.

He's won't make any staff changes, and at best he's going to add two guys from the
Portal.

He LUVS Caedin, he's not going to bounce
Tre.  He won't.

Unfortunately, the UCONN game will bolster his hubris, and he will convince himself that if he yells RGV just a bit louder all will be fine.

WTF?

Quote from: #UnleashThePortal on March 11, 2026, 08:29:57 PMNow now, this is pretty much what's going to happen every off-season now. Teams that were great last year might be awful, and teams that were awful might be great.

It's the wild west, and Marquette sat out. Then we got Ben as our center.

And we got bent as a high major team. GoollllddBrick was never a BEast center

Quote from: CountryRoads on March 11, 2026, 10:10:06 PMLooks like DePaul's magical season is coming to an end at 16-16.

Can't believe we lost twice to that team.

Quote from: lawdog77 on March 11, 2026, 08:23:55 PMJust like the Red Sox had the Curse of the Bambino, and the Cubs had the curse of the Billy Goat, Marquette had the curse of the Dentists. Banning the dentists caused this season to go tits up.

Bring back the dentists.

I was just thinking this place was too devoid of slurs and dog whistles

Quote from: Rimrocker on Today at 12:05:33 AMLost a game by two and Hamilton missed two layups, one of which was uncontested.  Tre comes in and turns it over, misses a 4 footer and then an FT.  I cannot for the life of me understand why those minutes dont go to the starters or Phillips or DO.
MU played hard and fought but it cannot be missed by the Administration or Shaka that we are a 20 loss team and lost to a bad team.  Many of our losses were to bad teams.
MU is a very very bad team. We are close to beating bad teams, but very very far from beating good teams. Tre, Jones, and Hamilton need to go.  Shaka needs to bring in 3-4 good players.

Yes, we definitely came very, very far from beating UConn last Saturday.

Quote from: jfp61 on March 11, 2026, 11:47:39 PMThe last transfer we took in, Zach Wrightsil was conviently left out.

Along with every single recruit they missed on, that flood our current roster.

Marquette would have been a better team in year one if they benched Kuath for Oso at the end of the year.

 

Really moving the goalposts. Predictable.

Quote from: TSmith34, Inc. on March 11, 2026, 10:12:26 PMDO might fall into the group that should be gone, but Clark deserves one more season? What team have you been watching?

Clark doesn't deserve anything. He's 7'. I'd give him one more year to see what he has.

DO is a great athlete who is not much of a basketball player. If he's back, it's fine with me. He'll have to improve a lot to be an effective BE starter.
