Quote from: MuggsyB on January 31, 2026, 06:40:32 PMThe thing is, it's not what I would call a trap at all.  Ben didn't even have his hands up on that one 35 feet from the rim late in the game.  It was almost impossible not to score on that garbage.  I've asked very politely to 🪓 this strategy since Oso left.  It appears I have been ignored. 

It should have been a switch but Chase got caught in no man's land and decided on a slow trap. Chase was out of position quite often today, IMO, but switching that far from the basket makes little sense. That's the design. In any event, cut back on the TOs, box out like BE players, and hit some damn FTs and it doesn't matter.

I don't necessarily disagree with this

I think it's interesting that in the above scenario Marquette would have 6 players with in game experience in a Marquette uniform- 2 of those with limited minutes- and 8 without.

I'm ok with that and I hope Shaka is too.

As for the actual transfer part- my take is that Shaka should bring in the two best players he can regardless of position, and move the remaining pieces as needed and as he sees fit. I'd like an impact scorer with 2 years remaining and a reliable defensively talented big, but my hope is that he brings in the 2-3 best players he can and let the rest work itself out.

Only for the best party.  He probably delivers on that as well as he delivers autonomous cars.

No so much:

To be fair a lot of the people he's blindly endorsing the actions of were on a special island too.

Quote from: tower912 on January 31, 2026, 08:17:43 AMDoesn't change the calculus.

Can we talk about this reasonably?  Obama and Biden seem squeaky clean (though they both obviously had a Clinton problem).

Seems like nothing but wishful thinking at this point.

As long as my taxes are lower

Quote from: MuggsyB on January 31, 2026, 11:04:46 PMI'm not being hyperbolic.  Keep in mind how weak our conf is.  I believe we are more than capable of beating them. 

Thanks for pointing out we can't win in a bad conference.  I think more salt in this wound is just what MU fans need. 

Quote from: WhiteTrash on January 31, 2026, 11:01:13 PMIt would be foolish to bet against MU to make the S16.

Is that the tournament in Vegas?
