Last post by MU82 - Today at 09:30:24 AMSome Milwaukee radio windbag named Dan O'Donnell said, "Now take out the Supreme Leader of Minnesota."
As someone on Reddit said, years ago that would have gotten him a visit from the FBI but now he'll probably get invited to the White House.

Gosh, it's almost like we are trying to make ourselves vulnerable, wonder why.

There's a delegation of responsibilities and the HC has to rely on assistants to a large extent with respect to talent evaluation. The assistants see the players much more often. Who was concluding that the guys on the roster were BE players?
At minimum, MU should hire a coach focused solely on shooting. Their FT and 3-pt shooting leaves a lot to be desired.
You are spot on. Also, a coach specializing in rebounding, blocking and screening should be added. Is the BE so tough that our recruits can't compete? Can't shoot or rebound?

Last post by Jay Bee - Today at 09:20:21 AMThank you, Sultan. Furthermore, shooting 67% at the line is insanely efficient offensive production. Having something else end the possession (eg, missed shot, turnover, etc) in all other ways combined comes nowhere near 67% at the line.
Folks may wish we shot better from the line - I do - but, the fact is bad FT shooting is still great offense.

Last post by The Sultan - Today at 08:56:37 AMIf Marquette would have shot FT at the same percentage as the league leaders (Providence), they would have score 49 additional points throughout the Big East season. Or 2.7 points a game.
They could have exceeded this by making one additional three pointer per game obviously. Which would have brought their 3PT% from 10th in the BE at 31.8% to 7th at 34.2%.
Simply put, FT% isn't very concerning. 3PT% and EFG are WAY more concerning.

Missing an FT is like missing a moderately contested layup. It's a golden opportunity to put points on the board and Shaka's teams leave a lot of points at the FT line. They also leave a lot of points at the 3-pt line. They shoot like crap and their shooting doesn't improve year to year. Get a shooting coach because no one the current staff seems to be able to help players improve their shooting.
We are dead last in the Big East in FT percentage - 67%. We've gotten worse as the season has gone on. Villanova is 2nd worst in the BE and their missed FTs kept us in in the game at their place. Nationally, we are 337th and the fifth worst among P4+ BE teams. That's just brutal.
Butler was in the 340s during the non-conference schedule and yet has improved as the season has gone on to 71% on the season.

lol I'm not saying hockey players are smart but there's a pro basketball player believing in flat earth theory and the black Israelites. There's multiple football players who can barely form a coherent sentence. And don't even get me started on boxers and MMA fighters...
