Quote from: Pakuni on December 16, 2025, 09:22:34 PMWent 8-9 the second half of the season, with zero wins over KenPom top 40 teams (best win was a two-point squeaker past #43 Xavier).
Got smoked in the BE Tournament, and smoked again by a double-digit seed in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Wins in November are great, and definitely not meaningless, but they crashed out when the games mattered most. Given the talent on the roster, the ability the team showed early in the season and then Shaka's inability to find any answers when things went south, I consider the season a disappointment.

If someone wishes just to look at the record and ignore context, they may come to a different conclusion, but I struggle to see last season as much of a success.

It gets debated endlessly from all sides, but I think this is another example of not recognizing this program's history.

Last year we definitely faded down the stretch and the no transfer stuff was a clear culprit as well. Shaka needs to adjust, and I've been critical. But if a 7 seed after 9-2-2 were a real issue you should've been teaming up with Ners to blast Wojo from the start of his tenure. The fade and subsequent Hauser transfers ultimately weren't any worse than last year, and that was Wojo's best year.

You commented about him just a few posts ago. Also, I didn't mention him in the post you're quoting. Stephen Milker fits the description nicely, no?

Every poll I make is for MU82.

But in all seriousness, coaches have done this. Would be a lot more meaningful than a mea culpa at a presser (not that we even get that). What says R more than putting your money where your mouth is? Could also solve the 'buy out' problem if we're asking guys to leave - lets Shaka honor his finacial commitment to Tre and Caedin but also opens up the roster spots he needs. It would make next years team better.

And from Shakas purely self interested perspective it makes sense too - if he sh*ts the bed again next year he's gone - and looking at a prestige and pay cut at his next spot. But if he turns it around, he's looking at another contract extension - pays for itself!

Ross Candelino played for Lipscomb against Duke tonight. Is he related to former Marquette Player Tony Candelino

Quote from: MU82 on December 16, 2025, 07:52:50 PMDictionary.com defines psychopath:

"a person consistently exhibiting antisocial, impulsive, manipulative, and sometimes aggressive behavior"

I don't know if the Reiner son fits that definition. But I do know of at least one very powerful American who does.

Why exactly does every horrific thing that happens in the world have to be about Trump and political for you?  It's super bizarre.

On ESPN they just said Tyler Kolek had the Dagger Assist tonight.

Quote from: WhiteTrash on December 16, 2025, 10:58:50 PMI mean who isn't pining for the MCC to come back after ESPN's 30 for 30 "Requiem for the MCC"?

Best rivalries ever: Duke V. UNC, Louisville V. UK, Indiana V. Purdue and Evansville V. Detroit-Mercy?     

lol hopefully the Big East works out and not saying anything like MCC but Big East does not have football to trade off with Basketball like your Purdues or Michigan States and UCONN  is not coming to save us again.
