Quote from: SchnitzelBoy on January 23, 2026, 10:11:32 PMChase, Ben, and Sean have been absolutely ravaged by injuries during their time at MU. I can't remember a cohort with such rotten luck.

Last year was just fatigue, injuries, and depth issues.

We should hang a banner.

I thought Royce looked really good for stretches tonight as did Owens.  Too bad the seniors weren't better.

Probably doesn't make a difference in the win column, but I want Marquette to get pissed. Enough with this. Get into it with an opponent. Go Rick Mahorn on someone. Heck, where is this teams Theo John?  Get a T. Get double T's!! Unfortunately, we don't have that brash personality on this team. 

Kolek lead and commanded on court whereas last year we replaced a true point by sliding Kam in at the 1. He played very well all things considered, but his shooting took a hit not being able to play off ball and shoot in more of a rhythm like he was used to for 3 years. They were gassed as conference play went on.

Mechanically Ben's shot is just bad. Way too flat. Kind of makes sense that his shooting % would drop based on that alone.

This year the talent and leadership is down and obviously the team is struggling. James is awesome...as a frosh he's still finding his way to be a leader and facilitator. Seems more scoring-minded out of necessity. Ross does not have any PG instincts and has mostly been the other lead guard by default. He's been tasked with too much and forcing the issue. They're playing tighter and there isn't much flow. Shots always seem to fall more when the team is in rhythm and winning.

Not injury related

Kam and Jop were fine last season
Ben and Chase are fine this season

Health wise that is...

I had a ticket to tonight's game.  There has been so much snow in the last week around here that highway speeds are all down around 40.  That would have made it 3.5 hours to the Indiana border, 6 hours overall.  So, no.

It's 2 in Indy, real feel of -12. And MU's three point shooting was even colder than that.

Quote from: wadesworld on January 23, 2026, 10:13:48 PMDidn't Chase injure his shoulder at some point in his career? Was that last year? Would be interested to see his shooting percentages before and after that injury if it was last year.

Think that was his soph year

Why does it seem every time we spin with the ball and we lose it?  Chase seems to have 3-4 turnovers every game.  Why doesn't Shaka ever play box in one when someone is torching us?  The players don't seem to have awareness of who or what is happening around them.
