Delaware State wins 66-64

It doesn't matter how surprised anyone is. And we don't need to know anything right now. Do you think we vote on the line ups or something?

It would be monumentally stupid to waste a year of eligibility on a down year like this.

Get to ESPN+, Kean and Delaware State are tied at 64 with 1:42 left

Quote from: onepost on November 20, 2025, 05:30:26 PMThe only silver lining of our season being over in two weeks is there is absolutely no excuse not to the play the freshmen and sophomores every minute humanly possible.  Enough with the meaningless "well embedded mole" bullshit via Rothstein, it's time to sink or swim.  Play Owens, Clark, Phillips, James, Stevens, Parham as much as you possibly can, and if they prove themselves, bring em back.  If not, then be a highly-compensated college coach and move on to someone more talented.  This isn't a charity, as much as Shaka's loyalty to scrubs is Make-A-Wish lite.

I would love to see him pull Ian's redshirt and see what he's got.  There's no use in redshirting a guy most of us were surprised is sitting when we need to know right now who can hack it at this level.  I'm done with the Caedin Hamilon, Al Amadou, Emarion Ellis, Tre Norman, Keeyan Itejere leeches who stay on the roster when they have no business playing at this level.

Once again, pulling someone's redshirt who is not ready would be objectively stupid and shortsighted and I can't believe multiple people have suggested it.

I agree with this analysis

Quote from: Charlotte Warrior on November 20, 2025, 05:31:25 PMThat so many people are losing their sh@& is beyond funny to me.  Shaka is a great coach, builds a program the university and the Alumni can be proud of, does it right and really connects with the players.  I'm glad we stay out of that portal mess, I don't want a "rent a team".  I'd sign up to have him coach my kids every day of the week.  We are having a down year, things will improve, guaranteed.  Step back and take a breath, enjoy the season.  The sky is not falling.  2025 may not be our year, don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.  Sheeesh

We are six games into the season.    Let's see what happens.    So fa4 we have seen flaws 8n every aspect of the game.  Though rebounding is better.  The team needs to believe in itself, and so far I th8nk they are playing with hesitance and doubt.    That's not how Shaka's teams have played.  It is truly possible that Shaka sees one thing in practice, then these guys take to the court and doubt prevails.  Chase is chase.  He goes after i5 and is confident.  Ben is bette4 and fun to watch and good now for rebounds and defense .  the rest... they need to develop.  Most will.  Some will level off and not get beyond that.  Shaka is a very solid coach, and will make adjustments.  Let's Chill for five and see what happens.  Go Marquette!

This sentiment is pollyanish.  I agree that the sky is not falling. One really bad year is acceptable, especially if the talent level was gravely miscalculated by Shaka. But, MU fans will get restless with this. The season ticket base will go down. Things like this happen quickly.  Shaka has the ability  to turn this rebuild around in short order if he uses the tools at his disposal and has the stomach for difficult conversations with current players.

It's all about proper player evaluation going forward. He hit the bullseye or at least around it with Kolek, Omax, Joplin and Ross.  Wojo hit the bullseye on the rest.  Cannot afford too many more recruiting misses.  We all want Shaka to succeed.  But he, alone, will have to unearth the talent for the next top 10 run at MU. 

Hope it happens.  TRGV!   

Quote from: MuggsyB on November 20, 2025, 06:49:30 PMI get we're all super pissed.  Based on what we've seen, this team is going to have a rough season.  And the "continuity"/not utilizing the portal doesn't make a lot of sense moving forward.  All that said, we can't give up on our guys or Shaka.

Agreed.

Also, Shaka and MU have confidence in each other that allows him the freedom to try the no transfer strategy. Kudos to both Shaka and MU. This season maybe disappointing, but I admire the guts to try it.
