Obviously, I could not give a single rip about the man.  He's shown his true colors time an time again.

I'm pretty cynical, but considering plenty have really good stories about him, I think it's more likely he's a really caring dude for those in his life and has some major, major flaws

Does anyone see a pattern?
That's why it's the so-called Big East
The facts are the facts.

The only pattern is the eastern teams are usually better.

Quote from: muwarrior69 on February 11, 2026, 08:18:29 PMShaka did not cost us the game, Chase did. He was a virtual no show last night. He was to be our team leader and ceded that to NJ over the last few games.

I hate to pick on certain players, but there is no sugarcoating with Chase and his issues this year.   It's one thing to have a bad game, or even a slump, but this is different.  We're not seeing him fully engaged at all or playing with max effort.  I think this is pretty clear. 

Tuesday wasn't his only enigmatic performance this season.  The guy looks like a 1st team BEast guard in the 1st half vs DePaul, and then craps an emu egg in the 2nd.  We've seen this kind of thing from him all year in conference play.   

This isn't on Shaka, it's about our presumed best player NOT SHOWING UP.  PERIOD.  And he's not engaged in every facet of the game.  He's not thinking out there at all.  His head is elsewhere and its impact has been extremely detrimental to our team.

IMHO, the only way to win on the road is to build up a significant lead and then keep it.  Keep your foot on the gas, peddle to the medal as they say.

Why would the home team want to send thousands of fans home feeling bad? 

On the other hand, as has been said, end game basketball is a different game.  The refs. don't want to be perceived as having an undue  influence on the outcome.  So they ignore fouls.  If the score is close the visiting team usually loses.  However, if the visiting team is dominating the game, they win.

Don't tell anybody, it's a big secret. 🤫

If any number crunches around here can demonstrate otherwise, I'm all ears.
 

I don't know what's more bizarre?  Watching this luge relay or the Svedka vodka dancing robots commercial that runs frequently during the Olympics.

My cousin lived in Morgantown while her husband pursued a doctorate as Gym Teacher (something like that) and Huggy was the coach.  The faculty loved him and apparently he always showed up for faculty meetings and other campus events that none of the other coaches showed up.

I'm going to watch that one--looks great from the trailer

Brennan throwin' elbows like Ersan Ilyasova.

(not a figure skater)

He is already a star.  And will become a bigger one.  But you guys are wrong; he just turned 19 in January.  He was born in January 2007--I looked it up.
