I'll be there in section 124 for anyone that wants to bitch in person with me.

We have the Lowery  schollie.    I am guessing we will have 1-2 more open schollies.  Perfect time and a great excuse to use the portal.   Really, what difference does it make if you recruit high school kids, and the freshmen you recruit are better than other players you recruited before.   And they play.  So, in essence you recruited over existing players.    Same with portal.   Use it.  It's ok

Had not been able to make this game in many many years, since well before DePaul's move into Wintrust. But my wife, son, friends and I are going to be there this year.

It's not a commentary on the play of either team. It just fit the schedule/availability of several people who are traveling in from various parts of the country. We're going to the home game vs. Providence as part of our long weekend in the Chicago/Milwaukee area, too.

Might as well go 2-0. We Are Marquette!

If Shaka gets 2-3 guys from the portal, we will be much, much better. If he sticks to his guns, we will settle in as a fair to average BE team at best.

It is a bad season. 

Quote from: tower912 on Today at 03:56:48 PMAnd like last night.  That young, undermanned teams usually lose badly  on the road.  In my mind, it is an expected, a given, a cliche. 

On Wojo's second MU team, the freshman and sophomore classes averaged 149 minutes per game. They lost two games all season by 20 points or more (and none on the road).

On the 2005-06 team, the freshman and sophomore class averaged 156 minutes per game. They lost zero games by more than 20 points and only two by more than 10.

This year's team now has five losses by 20+. This isn't an age or depth problem. It's a talent problem.

For every winner in the portal, there is a loser.  Zero sum operation.

Wisconsin transfer offensive linemanJoe Brunner commits to Indiana What The Heck. They are the only Division 1 football School in the state and they focus on basketball. We have other D 1 basketball schools like Marquette who besides this year is usually awesome

Butler is establishing itself as a bottom-feeder with us, with a pathetic performance at X. Next week at Hinkle is definitely a winnable game. The pitchforks are out for Matta. 

Have not missed this Marquette at DePaul game in many many years. But am going to miss it this year.
