Still waiting for Norlander and Parrish's emergency podcast on this travesty.  They should be fired for waiting this long.

I'm going to go ahead and guess that the vast majority of sports podcasts that cover college basketball, the vast majority of college basketball game broadcasts, halftime shows, pregame shows, etc. etc. etc., essentially anywhere that anyone would hear college basketball news, will not even mention Zaide Lowery leaving Marquette's program at all, let alone Marquette basketball Tweeting about a potential altercation.  And the VERY few that do mention either of those things, I would bet they will not do it on more than one episode/game, etc.

I can't believe people are this worked up about a nearly completely meaningless Tweet.

Quote from: GoldenWarrior11 on Today at 11:18:40 AMAbsolutely wild that a team that is 11-2 is only favored by 3.5 on the road against a team that has a losing record before January and lost three of its last four by at least 20 points. 

Books haven't caught up to us, apparently.

Put your 401K on it and double that thing up.

Quote from: TallTitan34 on Today at 10:40:50 AMI'm also guessing that most Marquette fans don't even know what Anonymous Eagle is.

6,000 plus page views as of yesterday afternoon would indicate plenty of them do.

Quote from: #UnleashMalik on Today at 10:50:40 AMWhy were so many people thinking Sean Jones was going to be a breakout player after the acl tear?

Certain people really thought the UCLA triple was a clear sign he'd be amazing. smh

You guys are acting like Michael Scott in the watermark episode making a bigger deal out of it than it really is.

Three of my MU buddies and I have a text chain going during almost every game. They are Marquette hoops fans with above-average interest in the team - for example, they traveled tp the 2024 NCAAT games in Indy, they have met me for road games in Cinci and DC, etc. - but they aren't fanatical enough to spend time with lunatics like us on sites like this.

I get most of my Marquette news from Scoop, and my friends get most of their Marquette news from me (after I've read it on Scoop and relay it to them).

Hours after Lowery being gone was announced, they hadn't heard about it until I told them. Same with my son, who also is a big MU hoops fan but not a Scoopy lunatic like us here.

And I highly doubt any of them, even now, has any idea whether MU handled its tweets and press releases well, poorly or otherwise. Nor would they care.

It seems Marquette's PR people could have handled the situation better. But I think some folks are seriously overestimating how much the vast majority of MU fans care about such minutiae ... or even know about it.

An ACL tear, on a guy that relied on speed and change of direction, and whose previous play didn't scream breakout in the least.

Quote from: MU82 on Today at 10:26:57 AMJokic hurt his knee last night. Update expected from the Nuggets later today.

Hyperextended knee, out at least 4 weeks.  Giannis had the same injury in game 5 of the 2021 Eastern Conference Finals and played game 1 of the 2021 NBA Finals.  Definitely thought he tore his ACL when it happened.
