I've got some great new for you.

I will be at the MU @ Georgetown game

You should make the trip. It's good for the program to increase those attendance #s
I'll promote you for GM

Firing Shaka is a dumbass argument and shouldn't be given any credence.

Not this season, not next season.

I usually like to look at both sides of things but we really need to move on from this idiocy, please

Quote from: brewcity77 on February 10, 2026, 04:40:50 PMMarquette is +9.5 tonight. I'll go bold and say we win outright.

You had it

Quote from: Elonsmusk on February 10, 2026, 10:09:42 PMYou're right.  Shaka has lost the team.  They've mailed it in.  Fire Shaka.  Bring TJO home. Miss an NCAA 1 out of every 5 years at MU and that is grounds for hot seat/potential firing.

Assuming MU does not fire Shaka this offseason, do you think MU will be a better team next season?  If they are better but miss the NCAA, what are you doing as AD at MU?  Retain Shaka or move on?

This is sad, even for you.

Quote from: nyg on February 10, 2026, 09:42:10 PMRoss took two shots tonight, the same as Tre Norman.  Two.... With his only make a three pointer near the end, prior to the Nigel James possessions disaster.  How does that happen? 

I'm as perplexed by that as you are. 

Quote from: GoldenEagles03 on February 10, 2026, 10:00:47 PMThis team absolutely still sucks. It is definitely playing better but it is such an unserious team regardless of that. It has no center. It has no bench. It has no veteran leadership. It is a very bad team that has 3 players really coming along.

Ok I'll give you a lot of that.
No center, no bench, no leadership.
It's all evident.

I team cannot completely suck when it should have beaten Villanova 2x this year
Villanova is a good, not great, team that will make the NCAAt. Marquette should have won both games

See my comments in other threads on coach's kryptonite.

That said, most teams will not want to see this Marquette team in NYC and you count say that 3 weeks ago. It would still be wild for them to even win 3 games to make the final, and it'll be likely and possible for them to come in with confidence and lay a dud in game 1, but if they win a game I sure wouldn't want to see this team at the Garden

Quote from: NinjaWes on February 10, 2026, 08:47:13 PMNigel just gets too frenetic. Sometimes just need to bring up the floor and get into the offense. Chase...one good make, not much else. True leader

Agreed, he seemed too pumped to be playing against Lewis. Went at it at Sean speed instead of Nigel speed.

We're 4-8 over the last six weeks, with wins over KenPom #62, #73, #78 and #95 ... all at home. That does not add up to a top 45 team.

But I think we'd have lost this game by double digits in December, so I guess that's progress.

You're right.  Shaka has lost the team.  They've mailed it in.  Fire Shaka.  Bring TJO home. Miss an NCAA 1 out of every 5 years at MU and that is grounds for hot seat/potential firing.

Shaka didnt cost the game. Nigel was brutal and more or less gave Nova a run in the last 2:30.

Very frosh game from him in the last 10 or so. Kudos to nova for flusterimg him in the press.

Shaka didn't cost the game tonight, but this team's continued late-game collapses and inability to get decent shots in final possessions is an indictment on his coaching this season.
