Quote from: 1SE on Today at 02:13:46 PMI Mean we have to be honest, the V had much more to do w UCONN going 3-24 from 3 (on plenty of good.looks) but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth!

Eh. Obviously that was a big factor. But never once during that game did I think we were getting outplayed. Guys fought like hell and played well.

Quote from: BM1090 on February 09, 2026, 01:13:55 PMDePaul? Nah. The other two? definitely.

To answer the question. I'd guess we win 3 more games the rest of the year. But it really depends if we snag one of the next two road games. I think if this team can get one on the road, the lid will come off and they'll win at Georgetown and Providence.

Yup.

Happy for Chase and Ben. Neither is the SOTG though. Both had huge shots/plays down the stretch but they were also invisible for 30 minutes. Chase not playing well and Ben in foul trouble.

NJ, AS, and RP were the reason we were in the game at all.

Goooldbriiiickk!!!!

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 02:37:18 PMWatched Byrd play for San Diego State last night.

Good athlete, plus defender. Anticipates well in help defense. Had a nice play when he missed an 3 but then stole the ball and went in for a dunk.

Unfortunately, he got hurt (ankle, I think). Gutted it out but was definitely hampered. Didn't shoot much after the injury.

Maybe he's getting the prerequisite walking boot before he can transfer to Marquette.

Quote from: rocky_warrior on February 09, 2026, 12:55:40 PMThey were playing better @DePaul right?  And @Butler?  And @Seton Hall too.

But OK, you can put your head in the sand.

Hmmmm? 

No need for the portal, period. Today is proof, played better than 4th team in the nation.

Great way to go out in their last home game.
Best part of today's win imo

Quote from: Zog from Margo on Today at 12:20:17 PMSo I'm negative. Interesting. I suggest MU should consider recruiting him due to the lack of basketball IQ on the roster and I'm told his height is inflated, he's Novak without the jump shot, he's only a finesse player, and he's nowhere near as good as Kon.

For the record, I didn't say Kager is Steve Novak without a jump shot but Steve did have superior skills. In HS, Steve had more elevation on his jumper, set his feet quicker, and had a quicker release.

Kager shoots more like Ben Gold, except not as flat.  Good shooter but not as dynamic as Novak (or Sam Hauser or Milan Momcilivic) in HS.

Quote from: MUEng92 on Today at 02:48:14 PMNot that I really care, but will Hurley be suspended for their next game for bumping the ref?

Yes. I wouldn't be suprised if its more than one actually.
