Presnap, IU showed single high. Beck failed to see the postsnap shift into 2 high.

He threw based on the single high.

Hmm

Quote from: Mutaman on January 20, 2026, 08:58:54 PMI was at that game. They littered the field with hundreds of bars. Reggie had hit 3 in a row against the Dodgers in the series so this was 4 in a row. He really was something else.

I confess that I threw my Reggie Bar onto the field - all the way from the upper deck. Did you throw yours?

If you go to Le Bernadin,you'll be sitting wit a bunch of Republicans.

Bears were just a fart in the wind and their fans act like they are the 69 Mets.

Attacking the rim, DO is a beast. Somewhat unorthodox outside shot, but works for him. I think his potential is awesome. I'm psyched for Friday's game at Butler. 

Quote from: MU82 on January 19, 2026, 08:57:58 AMBefore their 1978 home opener, the Yankees gave every fan entering the park a Reggie Bar. Jackson hit a shot off of Wood in the first inning, and fans reacted by throwing the candy onto the field from every section and from the farthest reaches. The game was delayed for several minutes to clear the field.

a solid 12 & 5 in 29 mins tnite, in fact

DO made the defensive play of the night. 

Quote from: MU82 on January 20, 2026, 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.

Missed the last 2 games because of work dinner meetings and being at the office.

Saw highlights and he looked much better offensively, but curious if the defense looked improved and if he looked more engaged on that end of the floor?

I did see a video on twitter that was one of the best Marquette basketball related things I've seen this season-
It was a video at the end of last nights game from the baseline that showed Royce and DO celebrating together and Royce really getting in Damarius' chest talking him up.
It was great to see, given the history/connectivity of those two prior to Marquette and the adversity DO has seen prior to some recent improvement.

Those two are in year 3 together after a great final season in prep school.
Love to see Royce encouraging his guy and trying to give him extra confidence going forward, that's what relationships and leadership are about.
