Marquette's Sweet 16 2024 Team made the Board in the Al McGuire Center for the Top 10 Marquette Team's of All Time.
Would this years team make the board if there was one for Bottom 10 team all time

That said feel most coaches have lost their way and had a bad losing season and overall Shaka is an awesome coach and the way forward! Go Marquette!

Could not believe the awesome move Caedin had driving down the lane and making a lay up! Caedin had another great shot too! And Mrs Jones was awesome in the dance contest too! That does not change my feelings Marquette would be close to 500 without Caedin and Sean but if Caedin keeps playing like that we might get to close to 500 yet! Go Marquette!

 

Quote from: The Equalizer on Today at 05:41:33 PMI'd give turnaround credit to Stu Jackson over Bennett. When he arrived at Wisconsin, they hadn't been to the NCAA tournament 47 years.

When Bennett arrived, the tournament-free drought was 1 year.

I wouldn't necessarily say Jackson was a better coach than Bennett, but it was his accomplishment that got Wisconsin back to the tournament, and back to a winning Big Ten record.

Could credit Al McGuire

Otz has an assistant MU is interested in to replace Shaka?

Quote from: K1 Lover on Today at 03:14:39 PMMeanwhile in the Big 12, the top four teams have a combined record of 62-2...

Arizona (16-0)
Iowa State (16-0)
BYU (15-1)
Houston (15-1)

over there in Ames, our next coach knows ball!

Quote from: Billy Hoyle on Today at 08:32:26 AMHe took over a program with no history of success and was still playing in the dilapidated Fieldhouse. They hadn't finished with a winning record in the Big Ten in 23 years.  He ushered in the modern era of Badger hoops, which is why I put him at #2. It did seem like he coached longer than six years at Madison.

I remember going to my first game at the Kohl Center in 1998 and laughing about the complete lack of banners in the rafters.  Forget titles, they had only been to the tourny once since 1947.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 05:33:30 PMNone of us is Goose; none of us is claiming that Gold is NBA-bound.

Ben's a decent role player who plays sound interior defense, grabs some boards and, when he's hitting his shot, adds a dimension to the offense. I hope he gets healthy soon because this team needs those contributions (and lots of other things).

It sucks that his shot isn't going in at last season's 37% rate. I'm sure he's more frustrated about that than Scoopers are. But to say he's "bad" or that he hasn't improved most facets of his game, it's just sh!tting on a guy for the sake of it.

I don't dislike Gold. He plays hard. As are most incoming players, he was overhyped, which isn't his fault. 7th man talent on good teams. Unfortunately we need him to be our top 2 or 3 guy.

Quote from: cheebs09 on Today at 03:50:56 PMNice middle finger to Reed and Phil. Seems like it only applies to Koepka, Rahm, Bryson, and Cam Smith.

It's always a good time to give those guys the finger - especially Phil.
