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.

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.

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.

Quote from: Pakuni on March 11, 2026, 10:59:19 PMIf I had to choose, I'd keep Clark over Hamilton because he has more runway, but the fact he basically hasn't seen the court for two months isn't terribly promising.

Agree. But yes, it boggles the mind that somehow Clark showed so little as to be nailed to the bench by Hamilton.

(Or, in one of the rare instances the I agree with Bee Jay, Shaka's choice of rotations was abysmal for too much of the year.)

Is there a link to the post game presses ?

Quote from: Pakuni on March 11, 2026, 10:25:22 PMOr maybe his defense improved because he was getting more consistent game minutes. Because players can get better when they play, not just when they practice.

I'd say doubtful, only because you practice many more minutes than you play in games, but we'll likely never know.

However, once Zaide left it might have simply been Hobson's Choice, given Tre was the other option.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on March 11, 2026, 09:39:55 PMItaly? I was in Italy last year for 2 weeks and saw zero baseball fields, but plenty of football/soccer fields.

Weak pool. Played a hungover US team who didn't realize until the 7th that they hadn't clinched rofl.

Everyone blaming the coach, but how in the world does no one else figure it out either.
