I always liked our rivalry with Cincinnati in the 90s and early 2000s.  Those were some fun games with packed houses.  I know it would never happen, but it would be fun to have them in the Big East if they ever got good again.

I bet Pitino at St John's is already figuring out how to poach him. Especially since SJU does not have a PG this year.

So his end, or his season's end?

I don't see value for any team to bring him in next year. Yes, he would possibly out play many NFL QBs next year, but to what end?

This seems like a good place for him to exit after taking a team to the playoffs.

With Scoop being the Guardians of MU BB Success he saw a massive failure.
We drove him out of 16 years of Scoop retirement.

I did.  I saw/see a 6'11 athletic forward who defends well, shot the 3 streaky well his first 3 seasons, and can put the ball on the floor and finish at the rim with either hand.

However, he never developed the killer instinct he needed on the offensive end.   Still too deferential.   And he never became as consistent as he needs to be shooting the 3.   Alas.

Too many injuries.  Not enough night in, night out intensity.

Quote from: TSmith34, Inc. on Today at 08:41:16 AMI think it's just more of the "do what I say or we'll prosecute you" thuggery, a warning to future Fed governors and everyone else as well.

Though to be honest, having Judge Box Wine or the lawyer from Baywatch attempt to prosecute is far more comedic than threatening.

Yeah, it's the continued, across-the-board political violence to get everyone in line. Seems to be backfiring so far? I hope?

Quote from: Spencer Pratt on Today at 08:38:39 AMWhat does the board think it the main reason we are so bad this year?  Will Shaka learn from this season and make changes or no?

No Arby's, not legit

Quote from: WhiteTrash on Today at 11:04:43 AMOk, makes sense. I don't follow UC and the current team is not "paper bag bad" but 5 years of futility is a valid reason.

It's definitely the accumulation. I think Cincy probably views themselves similar to how we do. Remember the late 90s early 00s and the Cronin era and think they should be a perennial top-25 team and NCAA threat. Haven't been close to that under Wes Miller, and with alum Jerrod Calhoun one of the hottest carousel candidates, are hoping they make a move.

That should have been the first warning sign.

What did he call him? Ben Goldvak? Ben Fitzgoldgerald?

We don't need no R elationships...
