Truth is, epic fury has no bounds.  But also, a failed energy drink.

Quote from: Pakuni on March 12, 2026, 11:58:46 AMOK, "down" season, if we're going to split hairs. Down season vs bad season is a distinction without difference to me.
Presumably if you expect down seasons, why is this past season not acceptable? Or are their degrees of down seasons?

To be clear, I accept that a bad season can happen occasionally. But we shouldn't set that as an expectation.

You and the other posters here all up in arms/put Shaka on the hot seat suggest 80% tournament rate at MU is good/aspirational. Shaka delivers that exact result, and one bad season and you and the other weird "hot seat for Shaka" clowns are in a tizzy?

If you can't see the arrow pointing up, after this blip of a bad year, and can't see Shaka is a massively beyond what Wojo was - you're an embarrassment.

We got better as the year went on. Have 3 stud underclassmen. Beat #4 UCONN in last regular season game. All 3 stud underclassmen unequivocally state they are coming back to MU (relationships maybe do matter), and you and the other drama kings here freak out?  Pure comedy.

Quote from: MU82 on March 12, 2026, 05:44:33 PMSPY now down 2% year to date and only up 1% the last 6 months. Winning!

I mean, if history is your guide, that means buy!

Brutal year for the BEast.  Will the league be better next season?

Georgetown stomps Nova despite 12 first half turnovers.

Julius Halaifanoua sure looked good for Georgetown tonight -- Shaka was involved with him for a while and wouldn't mind him kicking those tires again.

SGA is seriously absurd.  Totally unguardable and his efficiency is crazy.     You can't speed that guy up and he can get any shot he wants.

I mean, you're not exactly wrong.

Quote from: Galway Eagle on March 12, 2026, 09:16:18 AMThis. It's why I've been onto people that have been just saying "it's a bad season" 2018 or 2016 were bad seasons. Wojos first and last years were very bad seasons. I'd take any of those over this past year.

Getting caught up on threads. Wow. This is a wild take. We've got 3 stud underclassmen as good/probably better than the Don/Wes/Jerel trio, and some Top 100 underclassmen like Phillips, Ian, Sheek, and a likely immediate impact freshman Egbouno coming in to the program next year...and that's worse than Year 1 or 7 of Wojo??

Quote from: brewcity77 on March 12, 2026, 08:58:23 AMAlso, Anonymous Eagle is spot on here. Shaka gets grace because of the work he did, but this season was so bad that it is strikes one and two. He can't miss the tourney next year.

You Won't See Shaka Smart's Name On Next Year's Hot Seat Lists...... But You Should
