Starting to believe the Marquette MBB Twitter account responds to trolls because our gullible fans base keeps believing them.

Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on Today at 10:51:49 AMBuddy, that's 4 minutes too many let alone starting the game off in a hole every night.

What don't you get about it? He should be playing 0 minutes. 0 seconds. Not starting every single game. This is a 20 loss team, because there was a decision made somewhere along the line that he was a starter caliber. They are only making it worse by continuing to believe he is a starter.

He was a -1 in a 40 point win earlier in the season. 😂

Shaka would have loved to play Caedin ~20 minutes but MU is essentially in free fall every second he is on the court now.  As long as Caedin is part of the rotation, the ceiling for this team is basically the floor. This is a bold take but I think Shaka's use of Caedin this season is costing us about 30 spots in Kenpom currently.

Quote from: tower912 on Today at 12:39:02 PMBen Gold doesn't have a post game.  He has a euro-big 3 and drive game.

It seems the last two seasons, he really stepped up his driving game that always gave hope for next year. And then it goes away at the start of the year.

Thanks to foul trouble. I suspect it wasn't Shaka's intention to start him and then play him all of four minutes for the entire game.
No matter how you slice it, continuing to start Caedin is indefensible at this point. He hasn't earned it, and he's actively hurting the team when he's out there.

give this crap up already - played 18 mins, 9 pts, 2 TO's - thats a great line for a 3rd person off the bench with a team with good starters.  it's also a one unnatural carnal knowledgeing game sample

Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on December 30, 2025, 09:04:34 PMHe's just going to lose minutes.

McBride is back. Shamet is close to back. Hart will be back.

He will be lucky to get like 8 minutes a game.

Early in the year, with McBride, Shamet, and Hart all healthy, Kolek was averaging over 10 min a game in October.  That fell off to start November, but he's been big the last month.  He won't still be getting 20 min+, but Mike Brown has shown he is always tinkering with rotations, lineups, and using a lot of bodies.  I would be shocked if a healthy Kolek is suddenly playing under 10 min.  I think Brown sees a new way to play him with Brunson, with Brunson off ball, in particular that will get him run alone in a way that wasn't there early on.  Neither Shamet or McBride distribute the way that Kolek does.  He's averaging 5.5 APG the last 10 games.  McBride and Shamet COMBINE for less than 5 APG for their career bests.  That is what will get TK minutes.

Quote from: K1 Lover on December 30, 2025, 10:43:43 PMA not-so-great look for Jimmy Butler.

If you dislike Jimmy, then yes its not a great look. Otherwise, that is some of the most mundane trash talk you will ever see.  Any white guy who has played competitive basketball in a racially diverse environment has been called "white boy", in both complimentary and taunting fashion.  Unclutch your pearls.
