They can get hot from 3 but you're right.  Although they did dismiss Whisky. 

Quote from: Elonsmusk on February 21, 2026, 09:32:10 PMWe have a stud freshman PG, and a stud 4 sophomore.  A very nice freshman wing in Stevens.  Phillips and Owens have potential big leaps ahead next season.  Get a solid big in the portal, and one very good wing, and the team is plenty good enough to be an NCAA team next year.

I love Stevens the prospect but Steven's the sophomore starter being leaned upon to take a single digit win team to 20ish wins? We need help man.


Also - care to address your bubble team statement ?

Quote from: Vander Blue Man Group on February 21, 2026, 10:23:39 PMI'm curious - what makes someone a Shaka slurper?

I'm asking because I have a hard time disagreeing with Elon's views on Shaka and Marquette.

By his own definition relative to Wojo, if you weren't vocally critical of Wojo he would label you a Wojoslurper.

Listen, I'm a huge Shaka fan but unlike Ners I don't think he's free from criticism.

Texas Tech had a legitimate shot with Toppin.  After watching Mich/Duke it was essentially rugby out there.  You have to give Scheyer credit for getting his young players to defend.  Having watched the top teams I don't really see a sure favorite.  All of them can go brick city.

Sounds like we agree then and maybe you misunderstood my previous post

My mother is 85.  One of the best people on the planet.

This Hamilton stuff is ridiculous. Yes, he shouldn't be at this level.

But the reason this team is awful is Chase, Ben, Zaide, Tre and Sean.

LOL

Quote from: Jables1604 on February 21, 2026, 09:56:44 PMFind one post in my entire career on Scoop (clearly not as prolific as yours) where I said one positive thing about Wojo. Guess what? You won't.

You'll notice I very rarely criticize any player or coach. Probably count them on one hand. You, on the other hand are a hypocrite. Thought Wojo was the devil and think Shaka is the second coming. Using Shaka's accomplishments from 15 years ago isn't the flex you think is. You were also the guy who tried to take some of the credit for Wojo getting sacked.

Just admit you hold Shaka to less of a standard than past coaches. It's okay. You're a Shakaslurper (your term, not mine). At least it'll give you some measure of credibility. Otherwise you have zero self-awareness.
