It's a ridiculous thing to say and taints the whole bit.

A similar thing to say is that St. John's beat the crap out of the preseason KenPom #47 team by 24 points, which could have been much if not foul actual foul trouble and perceived foul trouble (slick rick is criminal when it comes to auto-subbing guys with two fouls in the first half).

Quote from: CountryRoads on Today at 07:51:58 AMMU was really fortunate Zuby and Hopkins both picked up 2 fouls in the first few minutes of the game. It let our guys at least get a half of non garbage time minutes.

I thought each of the young guys had some decent stretches. Caedin a few good possessions on both ends, etc. Though, I'm not confident the growth trajectory of this group will come close to exceeding the reload level of our competition on a year to year basis. It was frustrating when Parham, Owens, and Phillips all missed a layup in the span of 2 seconds. 
Yes. Yes it was.  A microcosm.  A good play, good hustle, everything  the way it was designed.   Doink, doink, doink.

Quote from: Pakuni on Today at 08:00:51 AMWhat do you expect when the GM whiffs on back-to-back (to back?) draft classes and signs no one in free agency?

The Washington Wizards, not the Marquette Golden Eagles of 2025-26.

Quote from: panda on January 13, 2026, 08:07:48 PMWould it be more beneficial for NJ to take a dive as we hide him from far more attractive suitors than our dumpster fire?

The surest way to lose a player to the portal would be to try and hide him.  The surest way to have a losing culture is to not try your best to win. 

Enough people knew how good he was before the year even started.  We need to sell him our vision and pony up what is necessary.

Quote from: Superfan on January 13, 2026, 09:07:36 PMShaka has to blow this mess up at the end of the year and get some really good transfers or he'l be gone.  This is the mother of all dumpster fires.  I've put the rest f my season tickets up for sale.
...including the assistant coaching staff. Need new eyes, new influencers.

Good point, we should be up in arms at the front office. Loosen the purse strings you misers!

Quote from: MarquetteMike1977 on January 13, 2026, 09:15:34 PMHopefully the Big East Gets 5 Teams in the Big Dance Again this year

UConn and St. John's are locks. Nova and Seton Hall are looking like near locks. Creighton? We'll see.

Fortunately (or unfortunately), the gap between the top and bottom is so wide that there should be few upsets of the top teams as the season goes forward.
